The best restaurants in Northern Ireland

Called in here after noticing it while passing. So glad I did. The staff were super friendly and helpful, buzzing around and creating a great atmosphere for customers. I had a latte (perfect) and beautiful fresh muffin, while my son had a 'freakshake'. Wow! It was some sight to behold! He absolutely loved it. I saw that they do dinners too, and got one to take home, which also went down a treat. Five stars - will definitely be a regular customer now!

Have just left Patterson's garage in Dungannon. The girl on duty at Subway was on her own and I have to say coped admirably on her own serving customers, preparing food, providing coffee/cold drinks, taking till payments. The queue was horrendous being Easter Sunday. She deserves a massive pat on the back for doing her job in such pressured circumstances. Sorry I didn't get name, she was a small girl, with dark hair and a massive smile. Hope her bosses read this. She's such a good example of how an employee can work and is such an asset to your team. asmirably

A great wee restaurant. Food was freshly prepared. Main meals as well as wraps, sandwiches, soups etc. Staff were very friendly. They also store luggage through "Bounce" so you can leave your luggage do the sights.

Excellent service, food and value for money! It was my first visit but I’ll be back and would recommend it. If you are in the area, give it a try!

I am not sure a hidden gem is the ideal description for this cafe as it is very busy with locals. It is a bakery and cafe with wonderful staff and great prices. I paid a visit my two teenage sons one Sunday morning. We had some breakfast baps and pancakes, which was all delicious and well presented. I would highly recommend this location.

Me and my son love this wee place. The atmosphere is always lively, friendly and cheerful because thats how the staff are. It's always clean and food is always great.

Went with 7 of my family for mother's day breakfast. We all ate different things from the menu and I have to say it all was first class food. The omelette I myself got was absolutely amazing. The staff we're so attentive and great craic. We are all heading back next week as I can't wait to try the fry my dad had and raved about. It is an amazing wee gem in a beautiful rural village and was great to see the owner take time to meet and chat to everyone.

This is a coffee station inside a clothing store. We had a flat white and a cortado. The barista is really nice, and the coffee is excellent.

On Saturday, May 20, 2023 we were on our first day out of Dublin with our rental car. We were looking for The Dark Hedges but could not locate it on our in dash car GPS. So we stopped here for directions. We asked to use their private WiFi so I could look up directions n my phone and they kindly obliged us. This small place was quite busy with people eating breakfast. They also sell quite a nice assortment of pastries and fresh baked bread. The lovely aroma of the bread made us decide to buy a loaf. Thanks so much to the friendly staff here in helping out a couple of strangers. I highly recommend anyone traveling in this area to stop in. Very nice place.

From the outside this bar doesn’t look too promising, but we were pleased we ventured inside. It has a stylish and well decorated interior. We visited twice during our visit to Derry for a pre-dinner drink. The prosecco was good value at £6 for a 20cl bottle. The staff were very attentive and professional.

Ordered and order was late so requested money back and they completely cancelled it without asking me absolutely disgusted and will be letting people know

Visited this morning for breakfast with the family and it was absolutely amazing. The mini fry and the big fry were absolutely delicious. Great quality fresh produce, great portions and friendly staff serving you. 100% we will be back. Couldn't recommend this restaurant enough.

The list of flavours on the wall of Andrea's milkshake shop in the Shankhill Road is bewildering and hilarious. No wonder it's the No1 stop for thirsty schoolkids, and grown-ups who love shakes. Blue Millions, Kinder Stick, Turkish Delight, Wispa, Munchies, Kit-Kat, White Bueno... it goes on and on. Many are simply chocolate bars zizzed up with mil and ice cream, but your every craving is catered for. My bride went for a Raspberry Ruffle, which included coconut and raspberry syrup. It's a bit of a solo operation, so you have to be patient at busy times. But it's well worth the wait. This is milkshake heaven.
