The best restaurants in Newry and Mourne Southern NI

Firstly this take away only place appears to be open for years now albeit under the name Malocca’s but I only spotted it a few weeks ago. I decided that I’d try it out but the first time after deciding to try it there was a queue extending out the door; but I think it might have been one of those religious - only eat fish - days. As it happened my first visit was accidental as I just happened to be quarter of a mile from it at dinner time and passing by it for home. There is some parking outside it but the road is heavily trafficked and you need to be careful as you reverse out. The queue was small in number, about four in front of me, as I placed my cod n chips order at a whopping £7.50. These are London prices. In fact at this price I cold enjoy (and very recently did enjoy) a sit in Harry Ramsden’s cod, chips and mushy peas in the Lowry centre, Manchester. I noticed the lack of interaction between staff and customers. Once an order was placed with payment and salt and vinegar confirmed we stand back in silence waiting for our food. No real engagement between customers and staff. The cod I got was ok but thinner than I’d like. The good thing was that the fish batter which wasn’t too greasy survived until I got home, without becoming soggy. The chips were good too but as I said the Harry’s meal was streets ahead, particularly in quality and the size of good cod. Would I return here. No. I’d rather drive to the Pit Stop, Kilkeel for a superb sit in cod & chips that puts this food well in the shade and for less money as their sit-in provides a soft drink.

Great fish and chips, would go back. Plenty of menu options.

Beautiful tasty food, lovely atmosphere, friendly experienced staff, fantastic menu, great portion size. If I were to write 'what my dream restaurant is', this would be it. We've been twice, once during 'eat out to help out' and again lately. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed. Already looking forward to going back. A hidden gem in Newry

Popped in to ease my hunger and found it not full at 5.30 ish. Ordered a 6 inch herb and cheese rib burger meal deal at £5.49. Youth making subs was friendly, clean, efficient and interested in his job. I like less on my subs. So cucumber, tomato, pickles and sweet onion sauce and a little bbq sauce was adequate. Latte was fine and smartie cookie nice. Boss was there cleaning. Place is on busy street but parking should be fine. Recommended.

The Harbour Inn is a charming and cozy spot, perfect for a relaxing meal or a drink by the sea. The food is delicious, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and the portions are generous. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with friendly and attentive staff. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or a leisurely evening, The Harbour Inn is a great choice. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed the food here, wasn't too pricey for all you can eat and had a good selection

Drove up to Newry to try a shop people say has the best chicken sandwich in Northern Ireland. I have to say the chips are great. Really crispy outside and soft inside. Daughter said she does not like chunky chips, except the one from this shop. The chicken sandwich comes with coleslaw. It's the sweet and creamy type, what we normally get in Malaysia KFC, but with smaller bits of vegetables. That makes the coleslaw smooth. My 2 piece chicken comes with a chicken gravy. Thick and full of flavour.

Pls don’t try this restaurant- Never recommend this restaurant if you get any chance to compliant to authority pls try this restaurant and do the needful- they cheating customers, serving guy is so rude . Never recommend this or you try your luck .

A really tasty meal, freshy prepared and hot. Staff were pleasant too. Absolutely would revisit.

the foods good, my go to chinese. only gotten delivery a few times and last two times rang up and asked for them to ring when outside and specifically not to knock as there’s a baby in the house and the last time they woke her up by knocking after being asked to. i explained this today when rang up and provided a number and said i would keep an eye out for them, even after telling them the delivery driver still got straight out of the car and knocked on the door, literally ran after him and said i asked not to knock and he did apologise but i think the service could be improved, worked in a chinese before and its not hard!

Right folks im actually raging these chinese ones dont listen at all we ALWAYS have to check our order and this is no fault to the lovely lady at the desk who has always been so helpful but SEE THEM ONES THAT MAKE THE FOOD I SWEAR THEY CAN NEVER DO ANYTHING RIGHT

the box with the lamb and chicken and pork was cold. 1 was burnt and dry the other was of could smell it. the kebab was ok cud do more chicken. the chips looked good but they weren't nice... the tin of coke was good but warm.

This is now called Mc Cann’s but I gotta tell ya folks it’s quite poor quality. First of all the prices once again are London prices. Why? This place is well out of town and I doubt it can justify its prices either on location or quality. The cod was thin and the batter just alright, but the chips were a disaster. In the same portion some were perfectly cooked yet some were still raw in the middle and none were great flavour. How can this happen as I really don’t know. I really find it inexplicable just how terribly bad our local fish & chip shops are yet they charge top whack. I mean just 20 mile away I can get first class cod fish & chips, a soft drink and I can sit-in and have the food brought to me, and all for a lower price. So I’m giving up on our local fish & chip shops as they are annoyingly poor quality and I’ll continue to visit the Pit Stop in the centre of Kilkeel. What an awful shame that I have to.

On Saturday, I witnessed a female staff member (Hill st location) be extremely rude to an older customer, who was visibly upset at how she was treated over a simple confusion about a table/order. I spoke to the woman outside and she was in tears, she was a regular there. You don't know what people are going through when they stop into your establishment for a coffee, be kind, and at the very least provide basic good customer service.
