The best restaurants in Northern Ireland

Was recommended The Jolly Sandwich by several locals as a lovely spot for lunch and certainly wasn’t disappointed. A queue out the door was a good sign but it moved quickly and the service at the food counter was extremely friendly. Had a delicious chicken and ham pie with some sensational coleslaw, while my wife had a very tasty coronation chicken sandwich. Portion sizes were huge, and all the food was moorish and sumptuous. Coffees were excellent also. Good value for money, nice atmosphere inside and friendly serving faces throughout. What’s not to like!

Had a quick bite from the lunch special. £12, very tasty.

Great Asian fusion menu, superb service and reasonably priced.

A great meal. Well presented and very tasty food with excellent wine recommendations and service. Only criticism was not enough Jus with the lamb.

A must for any motorbike fans...made my man's day

Great little cafe near the water. A spot in the sun with the morning sun and a delicious coffee and breakfast was served real morning treat.

Brilliant craic and a great selection

Lovely staff, great music and lovely cosy bar. Arranged music for work event and went down really well. Highly recommend.

dine in or takeaway always good food

This restaurant deserves its many positive reviews. My family and I all enjoyed our meals. The dining room setting is nice - attractive/tasteful (although most diners were dressed casually). The food was interesting, good-tasting, and well-plated. The service was great. I would definitely eat here again on a return trip to Ballycastle.

Went in August and got the Caesar salad and was amazed by the large pieces of fresh chicken in it and the presentation. Went back for the first time yesterday and was very disappointed to receive greasy battered chicken pieces in my salad instead of fresh chicken. the reason I chose the salad was cause I wanted something lighter and it was the first time Ive ever had fried chicken in a salad. Wouldn't order it again.

Went here quite recently. Others seem quite complimentary about Underground Dining but I'm not sure what they're seeing. The food is average at best, very bland and served warmish if you're lucky. The menu reads well but eats awful, the rubbery fish skins are in total honestly, rank. I have no idea what they think they are. Service isn't good either, one or two staff did alright but a couple of the serving staff just weren't bothered. 2 stars is very generous, not a place to visit again.

Beautiful setting, very friendly staff and excellent food
