The best restaurants serving Irish food in Northern Ireland

The food is tasty and good value but it’s really the staff that puts this place on the next level. Well done to your team, so friendly. (Dessert was tasty too!)

friendly staff and delicious food too, highly recommended

Myself and my wife went for lunch, yesterday the 7th July. We both had the fish supper meal and found it to be the best we ever had. So many restaurants, hotel's,cafe and carry outs tell you it's Cold,so many times we have been disappointed so we vote with our feet and don't go back are order something else This was diffently Cod at it's best. We sat in the front of the cafe beside bakery,the girl who served us was excellent,so nice to see someone who are pleasent and professional,also noted a young guy servicing and he was also excellent. No doubt next time in Newry we will return and will have no hesitation in recommending The Shelbourne. Keep up the good work. Chris & Jackie Bleary Portadown S

I had heard about the Cheeky Fox from some work colleagues and travelled there today for Sunday (Mother's Day) lunch. It did not disappoint. The staff were plenty, friendly and attentive. There was plenty of choice on the menu and most of our group had 3 courses. Everything was cooked to perfection and the presentation was excellent. Really worth travelling an hour for and we all agreed that we'd be back. Compliments to the staff and chef(s).

The best carry out sunday lunch you can imagine and always politely dealt with by Niall, the best spot. This is the best wee spot

Very accommodating considering we had a vegan for lunch. The roast chicken dinner was the best I've ever tasted no lie! Everyone loved the food and service.

The Woodworkers: Where Beer is Religion and Bartenders Are Saints. After a truly abysmal run-in with another pub-that-shall-not-be-named, we wandered into The Woodworkers hoping for a pint and a palate cleanse — and ended up having one of the best beer experiences of our lives. The place oozes cool without trying too hard: laid-back vibes, an excellent selection, and bartenders who actually like people (a shocking concept, apparently). We were curious about the beer tasting flight — and even though the official “beer experience” didn’t start until 16:00, we showed up fashionably early at 14:00 like eager beer nerds with no sense of time. Enter the bartender — That young woman is an absolute legend. Not only did she not roll her eyes or throw us out for daring to exist before beer o’clock, she straight-up went above and beyond. She served us a glorious tasting board with eight different beers, explaining each one with genuine enthusiasm and that effortless Belfast charm. She gave us more than we paid for, both in quality and kindness. By the end, we felt like we’d just taken a mini craft beer masterclass — and had a few good laughs along the way. This place gets it. Great beer, good people, zero attitude. Whether you’re a beer geek or just here for a good time, The Woodworkers delivers. And if you’re lucky enough to be served by that bartender — give her a raise and a medal. Or at least a thank-you pint. 10/10 would get accidentally tipsy here again.

Food very good as was the service 👌👌😉

When we come to Omagh we always come here the atmosphere & food is 1st class there is a set menu the fillet steak is always my choice (£15 supplement) so juicy & tender followed by pavlova they also have Guinness 00 if you're driving staff are so welcoming & attentive looking forward to coming back again in June.

Decided to treat my 2 teenage grandchildren yesterday and got a shock when I paid the bill and discovered that I was charged £4.55 for a 330 ml coke and same for a fanta. Total of £9.10. When I disputed the price I was told by the gentleman at the bar that they were big ones. No one gave me the option for a small or large drink and I was left standing feeling inadequate and as though this is the norm. Speaking to several other parents they felt like myself that it was a rip off. Asked for an alternative for mushy peas with my fish and had to take vegetables as a side which left me having to pay an extra £3.95 for chips.I won't be back.

Booked in for dinner last night with my girlfriend, straight from the beginning the service was amazing. Our waitress was so lovely and accommodating. We sat on the terrace and had such a good time. The food was unbeatable, I had the sea-bass and my girlfriend had the salmon. Both meals were so fresh and delicious. I would 100% recommend The Oliver to anyone and we will definitely be back soon!

I was here for birthday party for the first time and thought it was a great wee spot. Food was provided and was really good as well. Friendly and attentive staff. Good stuff :)

Friendly, staff are attentive live music and activities

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!

Food is lovely service is great & staff are very pleasant 😀
