The best restaurants in Northern Ireland

Very homely and staff were so friendly. Food very tasty and fresh and not expensive for the quality. Brilliant wee spot, will definitely be back

We just had my husband’s birthday dinner here. Hadn’t been aware of it before. It is such a wonderful intimate restaurant with absolutely delicious food and the most pleasant service. Our server Amal was so sweet and efficient and even the owner / chef Danesh came to chat with us. Perfect menu and excellent food. This family run establishment is absolutely delightful. Even Rick Stein comes to enjoy the food !!! I highly recommend it and we are a fussy pair when it comes to dining out !!

Warm welcome, quiet cafe perfect for a hot drink and cake after visiting titanic museum. Donations are optional. Highly recommend

Food is amazing and very good value for money. Amazing staff aswell provide brilliant service ! Would definitely recommend!

What a delightful restaurant, doing a bit of a loop of the Co Down area, decided to go out to Strangford for a look-see. Quick Google and Artisan Cookhouse was top of the list! Went for the burger and fish and chips, both great. BUT the piece de la resistance was their peanut parfait dessert, a masterpiece! Very enjoyable, lovely staff and great value!

I found out about the Square View Restaurant as a result of an invitation to Carrickfergus Cricket Club for a family birthday party. I was very surprised by the bill of fayre on offer. It's a family-friendly restaurant that has a children's menu with such items as chicken curry, fries and so on. I ordered an 8 once burger with blue cheese and crispy onion topping, served with a salad, fries and a dip. The cost was £15, but worth every penny as it was an enjoyable meal. The restaurant is open to members of the public and I'd definitely recommend it to others, You should receive a good, generously-portioned meal for around £7 or £8. The Square View Restaurant is very much a hidden jewel.

Fun, neighborhood spot - great for breakfast! The owner was so gracious in giving insights about Belfast with good tips on how to navigate the center city. Enjoyed learning about the impact of this establishment and how they gave back to their community during COVID. Pretty amazing. Oh, by the way the food was great and the staff very attentive in helping us learn more about local cuisine. You are missing out if you don’t go there!

This was a wonderful gourmet meal followed by a great time at the famous historic pub upstairs with lovely music and chats with the locals Fab night out

I was taken here on recommendation and I must say I was very impressed. The food, the service, the atmosphere, the beer.. it was all top notch. The starters were best Indian starters I’ve ever had and I mean that, it was delicious. Mains were beautiful, the lamb was actual meat for a change and fell apart in your mouth. Staff were very attentive and regularly topped up your water if needed. I wish this was in my home town. Credit where it’s due. Keep up the good work.

Fantastic lamb madras and selection wheel, cooked to perfection and always consistent. Great service, reasonably priced and a lovely end to the Grand National winning day. Well done Tulsi

I had a good coffee and traybake here . It all new inside now and a good place to call. Especially if u into coffee. Or delicious traybakes

We had a great breakfast at The Dinner Bell Bistro. The food was fabulous and plentiful. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was outstanding. The outside garden was a hidden gem. If the weather is warm, be sure to eat outside.

Went with a group of 10 men, from our shed , and we were served right royally. Had a substantial tasty home made brunch. Made on the spot and served with a smile. Can`t wait to go back,

Had a veggie Sunday lunch and it was delicious, especially the gravy and filo pie. Great service too, absolutely no complaints and I look forward to coming back!
