The best restaurants serving Irish food in South Eastern NI

Real country cafe, huge portions, pretty sure the lady taking our order was also making coffee and cooking so good on her for doing everything at once!

We had the seafood chowder which had a lovely flavour however, the potatoes were slightly hard and the consistency was not right for a chowder. As this cafe was highly recommended will shall give it another try.

Friendly service. Lots of choice. Iced fingers are great. Sausage rolls are massive and tasty. Mini cinnamon loaves are amazing. My go to bakery in Ards.

Called into monas with a absolute banging hangover, seriously was close to death. Order a full soda and tin of Fanta lemon, a lovely girl called Carrieanne served us, absolute Dimond. Fanta lemon was out right away, freezing, she popped it and poured it out, she had a real pep in her step, soda came out, absolutely perfect, presentation was fantastic, soda bread was like a fluffy cloud. The brown sauce was the crap stuff but Carrieanne got us hp on the fly , def be back

I called in for lunch. I had the healthy breakfast. The food was very fresh and cooked to perfection. The menu has plenty to offer. The staff were very friendly and most helpful. Would be happy to visit again.

Having failed to eat in another quite well known establishment just down the road (far too long a wait) this place was a very welcome pit stop for my family. There was a very friendly lady from Preston serving us, a delicious curry slice (!) and other light lunch food. Nothing sophisticated but very welcome nonetheless! Recommended.

Excellent chips to take out! Possibly the best takeout chips we have ever had accompanied with excellent customer service. The lady was very generous in her portion size and welcoming to us as first time visitors to Northern Ireland. We were very impressed with the opportunity to gift a meal which we did! A must chip shop to sample.

Morelli’s ice cream is nice and creamy which I like... I got the salted caramel which is quite rich and really nice. Very good ice cream!

Nipped in for a pint. Lovely old pub and polite and friendly service.

Food was amazing. Been a while since I was there and it did not disappoint.

Excellent tour. Really informative.

Loved it great food and great value for money

A bit disappointed, ordered Chilli &Basil Rigatoni it was delicious but the portion which was a main course was really small . Last week I had Salt & Chilli which was also delcious however the chicken portion was large ..I asked for some of ot to be boxed as I couldn't finish it. Seems strange as it appeared to only be pasta ..the sausage may have dissolved onto the sauce but chicken must be more expensive to produce than pasta so why such a small portion ?? They were same price £16.00 I was definitely still hungry. The staff are lovely very attentive and very polite . Food it good quality just a pity about portion size on this occasion .

On arrival we were greeted by the owner and made to feel so welcome. He made a point of even welcoming our service dog as well. The establishment is spotlessly clean and the decor is beautiful. The food is pure heaven and the servers are so friendly. Any allergies are noted and food adapted to your needs. Overall a really great dining experience and will definitely return.

The young blonde girl looks like she’d rather be anywhere but serving customers. Very sour !! It changes the whole experience
