The best restaurants serving Irish food in North Eastern NI

It's been a while since we had been to Strawberry Fayre, it didn't disappoint on our return, we really enjoyed our lunch, pumpkin & bacon soup served with wheaten bread, both delicious followed by toffee apple crumble with custard again delicious, portions were generous too,won't leave it as long to our next visit, really worth a visit .

We were staying in Bushmills and had a marvellous meal here. The tandoori cod was divine. Excellent choice of wines from carafe of house wine, half bottles through to serious cellar choices. Good service. Would recommend.

Disappointing. I have eaten out of Morton’s for years and was looking forward to my first visit since Covid began. I was expecting the usual large piece of fish with plenty of chips and the option of the Jumbo Cod which I usually went for. Unfortunately there was no Jumbo Cod option and the portion of fish I received was small, not that great and overpriced. What a shame.

Nice cafe. Service was fast. Sandwiches tasted good. Prices are high at the cafe, but it's like that everywhere in Northern Ireland.

We came in for lunch, and was quickly seated in the conservatory which has nice views out over the golf links and towards Islandmagee. They had an offer on at £ 10 for a main course. 2 of us picked the chicken chilli strips with chips and the 3rd person had the burger with chips. For dessert we choose a selection of small desserts that came in presented on a board. See photoes. All was very tasty.

Not undercooked but raw sausages avoid. Wasn’t changed but not the point had already eaten one. Will never be back just shouldn’t happen in this day and age

Called in to place an order to take away. Sat for 40 minutes waiting during which time i watched the girl at the till swinging her ponytail over food, scratching her scalp and nose with her oversized long nail extensions, and then proceed to butter scones without washing her hands or wear gloves. Wiped her hands on her jeans and carried on. Came and told me then after 40 min, that my order hadnt gone through to the kitchen, and when i said to forget it and asked for a refund, she was very rude. Accused me of being rude because i said i hadn't time to wait and said it wasn't her fault i hadn't received my order. Then didn't know how to issue a card refund, and kept me waiting a further 15 minutes while she disappeared into the back of the shop. Awful experience from someone not capable of dealing with customer issues, she was totally unsupported by the manager who stayed in the back. Food handling hygiene needs looked at. Really disappointed as I've used this lovely café before, but on this occasion the service and hygiene was not good at all.

i only started going here after I read an advert which led me to try some of their products. I certainly have not been dissapointed and will keep retiurning while the quality is maintained.

We had our family reunion at Hunters on 14-09-2024 with members coming from USA and all over UK. Dolores provided excellent food and service and a really relaxed atmosphere.Tremendous value. Would have no hesitation in recommending this venue. Maire

We had a beautiful 3 course meal here last week. Service and food was excellent. We had the early bird menu which had plenty of choice. Good cocktail menu too. We couldn't fault it.

Brilliant vintage memorabilia around the walls, great pints and service, toilets could do with a coat of paint but that's nothing to be concerned about

Had a lovely meal at this restaurant . The staff where very attentive and the food was delicious we had a bit of a wait but it was well worth it.

15£ el plato, estaba bueno pero el precio es excesivo, el trozo de ternera era minúsculo. A esto le sumas la bebida y un postre a compartir entre tres y la broma salió por 60£ (3 platos como el de la foto, tres bebidas de 200mL y un trozo de tarta)

I attended The Rabbit restaurant for dinner with my partner and had an unpleasant experience with the front of house. On arrival, the front of house was very cold and unwelcoming, especially to myself. He asked for the reservation name abruptly and asked if we had any allergies. I advised them of my allergy. The front of house turned away and repeated my allergy a very judgemental and strange tone. I was taken aback as this felt judgmental and very strange as to why he was acting like this . He walked to our dinner table with little to no pleasantries, advised the soup of the day and repeated back my allergy, again with a rather judgemental tone. We were both taken aback by this and did not understand why the man had been unpleasant with me especially. On leaving the restaurant each waiter stood and greeted us on exiting, however the front of house simply stood at the bar and as we approached to turn and walk down the steps out of the restaurant, looked away and made no form of contact, clearly seeing us coming along and deciding to turn away. I have attended The Rabbit for numerous year and have generally had a good experience however this left me in rather bad taste and I am not impressed by that level of service from a place that fronts sophistication. I felt judged and the manner which this man served us with was cold and not what you’d expect of someone who is meant to be the front of house greeting your customers and showing them to your table. Very disappointed.

Very suitable menu for a seaside restaurant which is well frequented throughout the year, and especially at busy holiday periods. Good selection of wines, beers and cocktails. Friendly staff who are eager to please. Relaxed atmosphere. What's not to like...
