The best restaurants serving Irish food in Southern NI

The food in here is amazing and the staff are so friendly and so helpful, they always make you feel so welcome, the food is great quality and the portions are great, their prices are great as well it's hard to find a decent cafe that's not over priced these days but the full Irish has it all,and they have great selection as well, you will not be disappointed here that I can promise.

My wife and I took refuge from the rain.We tried the stack pancakes with maple and ham crumb plus tea and coffee.They were delicious.The young ladies serving were charming and very welcoming.Great value and great service.

Stopped in before going on tour of Tayto factory. Had medium size breakfast with coffee for 4 pounds. Service was great. Stop in for a good meal.

Great food and great staff what more needs to be said..

Great place to eat with good sized portions and at a reasonable price . Adjacent to large free car parking with plenty of free on streets parking close by .

I was in Rostrevor for a weekend and someone recommended this place for food. I have to say it wouldn't be a place I naturally pick but I am so glad they did, the menu is your typical pub grab but there was nothing typical about the quality of the food and the price. I actually had an all day fry and someone else had the loaded fries another person had the the brie tart and the chicken Goujons, we all licked our plates, all the dishes were delicious 😋 the portion sizes were just right, tasty and filling. If I ever go back to that side of the country, I'll definitely dine again. Now I can't say much about the customer service because there was none but when your food is that good, you have to excuse some bad days😉

The food was lovely. However, it was not worth the price, and the staff were slow

Great country pub, lovely & lively atmosphere. Food truck outside is delicious

We attended a family celebration here last weekend and from the minute we booked it till we left for home the staff and management couldn't do enough for us. The food and service was excellent, Thank you to Claire and the staff we will definitely be back, and we have already recommended Digby's to friends and family.

Stopped on our way home to Dublin for breakfast The food was lovley . Really nice fried bread and potato bread . Got toast and 2 pots of tea The resturant is really nice, Spotless clean and the staff on duty were very nice and very pleasant 😀 Cost us £42 in total for 4 people which was very reasonable for what we got No hesitation in recommending this place

We had a family function here. Booked and deposit paid with no hassle. Closer to the event, a few couldn't go and we were told by the owner Emmet, we weren't allowed the function room upstairs as our party only had 13 adults and 16 children. Minimum adult allocation for this room was 20. I was also told that the buffet could only be booked for 20 adults so it was agreed any leftover food would be packaged up and taken home. We were put in the a room just off the bar. Very small for our party. They had tealights lit everywhere in this room even though they knew there was a lot of children. Food was beautiful, couldn't fault it at all but at £15 per adult, Braised steak and guinness pie came with no accompaniment. Luckily I had ordered chips seperatly or our guests would literally have had a piece of pie on their plate and nothing else. The service and lack of leadership from manager Sarah was disgusting. She would walk in look at her watch, tut, Roll her eyes and walk out again. We were never told in the booking process, that we immediately had to leave after eating. A tray of sticky toffee pudding was ordered for the adults at a price of £80 and a trio of Ice-Cream for all the children. We sat waiting for the icecream, not wanting to pressure the one and only waitress we had and then after asking how long it would be, Emmet hadn't made them aware of it being ordered so we waited another 15 minutes for this. Afterwards, we got the rude hints from Sarah to leave the room so we went to sit in the bar area. The children were obviously children and were in and out of the smoking area and at the bar getting drinks. The stove had been lit the whole time we were there, setting off the fire alarm while we were eating and the doors into the smoking area had to be left open according to Sarah. Then their locals started to assemble around the bar from about 5pm and were complaining about it being cold so Sarah told people within our party, the fire was fine and the doors were to be closed. In turn she propped open the main door out to a busy town just to keep the smoke situation dispersed and the regulars happy. Not a single care in world for 16 small children, if one had ran out the door onto the main street. On emailing Emmet the next morning to complain about the service, the manager, no accompaniment with one of the dishes and the stove, he played who flung dung... he said he could only apologise for the stove as it was now out of order and was out of all their controls but and I quote exactly from his email: "There was 2 brown takeaway boxes of pie and a black container of curry and rice taken away so this would suggest that there was plenty for the meal and indeed for a few days later. We regularly are told how great value it is. Sara is without a doubt a top professional and it seems there was alot going on, i received reports that there were kids running everywhere, when i came in for the evening shift the tidying up and brushing up between crisps and debris everywhere to candlewax over tables was like nothing I had witnessed before!" This is the response of someone who had received very close to £600 knowing that we had less adults than what they catered for hence the leftover food that he was paid for, we were made feel like we were an inconvenience remaining in the room our meal was served in and the few chips that fell off children's plates and some crisps was such a nuisance to them to clean up. Hence why I state non-child friendly! The management is shocking! It is situated in such a lovely little town with many things close by, but I will never set foot in The Tailor's House again.

Where do I start with the gratitude and appreciation that i have towards the staff of the DUKE Warrenpoint!! Last October I first reached out as been a warrenpoint born I wanted my party in my hometown warrenpoint. So i reached out to Joanne and Amir inquiring about having my 60th birthday celebration at the duke that just took place on friday, November 8th. I had 87 guests for sit down buffet and at least another 30 guests for the after meal. ALL my quests have not stopped reaching out talking about the great night they had and the delicious food they ate and including the well worth hangover lol. At the party I had a local DJ Bill Donnelly who was amazing and played the list of songs i requested from the 60's 70's, 80's,90's and 2000's. I also had the 360 degrees photo booth by Patrick Graham that was well used by my not to shy family and friends and also the delicious GENOA CAFE ice-cream cart serving up their amazing homemade ice-cream. I wanted this party to go off as i imagined it and it did exactly that to every little detail i visioned all the way to the 100 shots that was given out to my guests after the cake. The dark chocolate cake was delicious created by Megan Mathers. Also shout out to 54northoccasions for their bday balloon table display. Awesome job!! If you are ever thinking of having a birthday celebration or a smaller wedding or even any type of celebration this location is a must. Thank you! Thank you ! Thank you. Libera. Florida, USA

Lovely breakfast. Plates are nice and warm so your food will never be cold just watch you don’t burn your fingers! Coffee was lovely as well. Highly recommended.

Went there for lunch and I was absolutely horrified. Staff were extremely rude and untrained. There was barely any service and the waiting staff just have a face on the entire time. Food was disgusting. No wonder this is a 3 star hotel, will not go back even if they paid us.

a really good restaurant value for money mouth watering dishes home made desserts excellent friendly staff
