The best restaurants serving Irish food in Northern Ireland

Good food, but £5.30 for a kids meal is too much.

Brilliant live music and buzzing atmosphere on a Saturday night. Loved it

Unfortunately, this is my second negative experience with the food at Devenish, and I’m writing this review in hopes of helping improve future visits for others. During my first visit on a Sunday, the food was cold. My partner had to send his ribs back, which were then returned after being reheated in a microwave, still of poor quality. My Sunday roast had cold portions, including the meat, mash, and vegetables. I decided to give it another chance last weekend with friends, but once again, the food fell short. My fish batter was completely separated from the fish and lacked freshness. The chips were lukewarm, and my friends experienced the same issue. To top it off, my latte was served barely warm. It seems like food and drinks are sitting too long before being served, which affects the quality. While the staff are always lovely, I won’t be returning for the food unless these issues are addressed.

Food was lovely but the service was extremely slow. This was around 2pm om a weekday and there was only 3 other tables all with 2 people on each, in a place that has around 20/25 other tables. It wasn't that the food took a long time to be cooked but just to even get our order taken. We were given no drink menu and had to ask for one when they asked what we wanted to drink. When we received our food no one came to check how it was. After when we had finished our food, which was lovely (especially the leek soup), our plates were left to the side of 20 minutes before they were taken away. Then a further 5 mins to be asked if we'd like to see dessert menu etc. This was despite there being loads of staff on, enough actually for each table. Disappointing service for the price you pay.

We had our family reunion at Hunters on 14-09-2024 with members coming from USA and all over UK. Dolores provided excellent food and service and a really relaxed atmosphere.Tremendous value. Would have no hesitation in recommending this venue. Maire

We called in here for lunch on saturday. The order was taken quickly at the till. he food took al ong time to arrive and was at best- average. The drinks were finished by the time the food arrived. There are plenty of good cafes in Portadown to use in future.

Amazing service with warm welcoming and friendly staff who delivered a lovely meal to us even with a late evening booking 10/10 would recommend their Irish Stew was amazing.

Great little restaurant/pub. We were on our way to another restaurant and saw this one, menu looked ok so we decided to eat there. It’s Belfast city so didn’t expect much from any restaurant in the city. Food was great, large portions and tasty. Staff were fantastic, really really friendly and attentive without being pushy.

Not a great experience. After a 50 minute wait our food arrived with the only conclusion I can come up with was there was no chef present in the kitchen. Worst dinning experience I've had, ever.

We had a beautiful 3 course meal here last week. Service and food was excellent. We had the early bird menu which had plenty of choice. Good cocktail menu too. We couldn't fault it.

Not enough staff.very long wait for food

We were in Belfast Friday night for a gig in the Limelight. Having not been in this part of the city for a few years we didn't even know about the Bone Yard. We went to Spoons next door initially for a few drinks and spotted the Bone Yard as we passed by. We decided to stop in for a quick drink before heading for our gig. I wish we'd not gone to spoons and stayed here instead. The atmosphere was great, the place was buzzing with lots of different groups and ages enjoying food and drinks. We got a seat by a heater which was fab in the cold weather. The staff were lovely and friendly too. Can't comment on the food or loos as we didn't use these. Would definitely make a point of coming back here again.

Brilliant vintage memorabilia around the walls, great pints and service, toilets could do with a coat of paint but that's nothing to be concerned about

DO NOT BE PUT OF BY PREVIOUS REVIEWS The food, service and VFM are all excellent here My wife and I called in here on a Monday afternoon We both had soup and sandwiches My wife had leek soup and a tuna melt sandwich I had vegetable soup and a chicken and salad wrap Plus a portion of chips, glass of wine and jug of cold water The servers were extremely amicable and professional The price was amazingly good value Highly recommended —- GO GO GO

A cracking evening for a big group of us upstairs. Eoin and Michael looked after us very well. Great Guinness and great food. Super evening.
