The best restaurants serving Irish food in Northern Ireland

Lovely place to enjoy a meal, good choice on menu well priced, food is always excellent, highly recommended 😁

My friends and I were walking around the wall and I needed to use the lavatory. I saw the Anchor Bar so one of my friends and I stopped in. While she used the facilities, I ordered us 2 half pints. The lady tending bar was super friendly as were the folks sitting at the bar. We ended up sitting down and talking to some folks at the next table. We then texted our friends to come join us. We ended up staying for 2 or 3 rounds. The bartender came over and took a few photos for us. We had a great time there. The vibe of the place was just so laid back and friendly. We all loved it. We didn't eat so I don't even know if they offer food.

Went there last night 17/10/24 Hadn’t booked as I thought Thursday might not be busy but place booked out however manager provided an extra table without fuss the rest is 5 stars in every way We’ll be back soon Congrats to all John Rabbitt

Had a fab meal at the Clayton Hotel tonight. Lovely menu, really nice feel about the place, didn't feel like you were in Belfast in a good way - plenty of space between tables and a lovely atmosphere where you didn't have to shout to have a conversation! Food was delicious and service was great too. Will definitely return and would 100% recommend.

A beautiful spot to relax and unwind. Really busy when we were there during the week. But there's lots to do. My only flaw is they need to have music or something at the big glass jacuzzi. Food is amazing and drinks r a bit expensive.

Wandered in by chance and found an absolute gem. Food was divine and everything/ everyone were excellent. We shall return. Highly recommended.

Our 3-night stay was lovely - amazing staff who give you a personalised service, and the chef who will do his best to accommodate your request for food not on the menu. I requested for a main course with prawns, and voila, it was done. All the waiting staff are friendly and helpful. We got to know Eugene, Ms McCaan, and the manager, Michael. Michael went out of his way to furnish me with a print-out of the express bus schedule to get into Belfast, as this is my first time in Ireland. Just can't say enough of the amazing service, and fantastic food. We didn't feel that we need to dine elsewhere because we love the food, the ambience, and the service. We'll love to be back.

The best little port on a cold wet day. We visited Ballintoy on a typically dreary day and the cafe was so cosy warm and welcoming. Staff are wonderful, coffee was fabulous and the cakes were out of this world. Since great views too. Highly recommend!

Great tasteful breakfast. Atmosphere is a bit minimalistic... Couches make up for that!

Great hotel in a small town. Building is across the coastline, close to the cliff view. Rooms were great and bathroom large and modern. We had dinner and breakfast - service was excellent - very pleasant staff. Loved it.

Good pints and good service, bar snacks are not good value for money 👍

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

One of my 'go to' places for years and we were very underwhelmed. It'susually packed (especially on a Saturday night) and has a great vibe but there was no atmosphere. The menu wasn't great and the food was bland overall. Waiting staff mixed up drinks orders (there were only 3 of us) and one of the main courses. We won't be rushing back.

Absolutely delicious lamb dinner which was very reasonably priced. Staff are very friendly and helpful

waited 1 hour for a flipping personal pizza and then they told me after asking 6 times that it wasn’t put through only for me to have to wait another 30 minutes and no apology or nothing. shambles. Some unc rolling dough was also shouting expletives to his other workers acting as if he was doing much
