The best restaurants serving Irish food in South Eastern NI

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.

Absolutely awesome 🤩 we had a few small plates to get a good feel for the variety of the menu and WOW! My personal fav was chicken parfait but every single mouthful was heaven. I hope this restaurant gets awarded a Michelin star it would be well deserved ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ will defo be back HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Fantastic food and wonderful friendly service. I had the salted chilli chicken and bacon and cheese fries very tasty. My friend had the burger and it was delicious as well. Highly recommended.

I had the pleasure of dining at Origin 101 for a 50th wedding anniversary celebration. The ambience was absolutely charming, the food superb, the waitstaff very professional and Kelsey, the proprietor very welcome and accommodating. If only I lived in Moira, I would return often. As it was, I asked her to consider opening a second location in Connecticut. One can only hope.

This cafe is great for breakfast and coffee/ tea. Plenty on the plate and very friendly staff. And very reasonable prices. Well worth a visit

I recommend the pancake stack it is first class you should go and try it out sometime and the staff are so friendly and helpful and kind and good crack

Lovely cafe, friendly staff and spotless clean! The tray bakes and cakes etc look absolutely amazing! Highly recommended!

Had a lovely lunch with friends. Staff very helpful - nothing was too much trouble and they listened to our comments and suggestions. Food very good and freshly cooked.

Great food home cooked by Lee (Li?) who in good N.Irish fashion can talk the hind leg off a donkey. Local produce used esp. from McConville's family butchers just across the road. 5*recommend! Mick and Karen Bolton Tandragee.

Fantastic spot. Staff very attentive and always very welcoming. Good range of coffees and drinks. Nice range of scones..tray bakes......sausage rolls...toasties and other nice nibbles. Good car parking....30p an hour. Its becoming a popular meeting place. Give it a try!

A warm welcome, fantastic festive fayre, delivered with warmth and kindness. Great flavours and attention to detail. Will definitely be back! 🙏 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Visited with my partner on a very wet and windy Saturday afternoon, greeted warmly by the manager and waitress and advised table would be ready very shortly, ordered bottle of wine which I was informed was very good quality and I had a beer. Taken to table soon after, full Christmas menu on plus a number of favourites which are on all the time which was good to see if had your turkey and ham fill already. I ordered scampi and chunky chips which came with a side salad, this was one of the very best Scampi I have ever had, large plump king prawns in a lovely light batter, well cooked chips and the light salad and fresh tartar sauce complimented it really well. Partner ordered a starter portion of seafood chowder with fresh wheaten bread and garlic and parmesan fries to come as her main dish, this looked very appealing on this cold,windy day, she said it was beautiful with plenty of seafood, nice thick sauce and chunky potatoes, I dunked some chips in it too and can agree it was really tasty and one to try in full again. For dessert we had been told by a friend that they do a great apple crumble and side custard with dollop of ice cream on top which is right up our street, we couldn't see this on the menu and were pretty disappointed but the head chef Sam came over just at this time and introduced himself and asked about our meal, I cheekily asked about the crumble and he said, no problem I'll do it for you now, we shared the dessert as we were full from the large mains and it was delicious, took us back in time to be honest and a lovely end to a really enjoyable meal at a very reasonable price. Finalising, great, friendly and professional front of house and staff, food very high quality with nice portion sizes , willing to go the extra mile, highly recommend.

Lovely wee meal last night, really enjoyed it and the staff could not have been more helpful. Will be back again for sure.

Fantastic place to eat if you have allergies or dietary requirements. Staff are knowledgeable and meticulous about Ingredients and cross contamination, meaning that everyone has a safe and enjoyable dining experience. The vegan food was fantastic- it was great to eat somewhere where vegan food wasn’t an afterthought. Everyone was delighted with their meals.

Our family trip to Newcastle turned into complete disaster when we came home with food poisoning from this place. We had fish and clearly it wasn't cooked properly. Will not be back 🤢
