The best restaurants in North Eastern NI

28/10/2020: Stopped off in Larne for a quick bite to eat and stumbled upon Eddie's. What a lovely friendly man, we felt very welcome. He made us noodles with golden caramel chicken, salt and pepper chicken and chicken in oyster sauce and it was absolutely delicious. Would definitely highly recommend calling in. We were totally stuffed. Thank you Eddie.

05/10/2020: Called in today after seeing sign outside advertising all day breakfast. In a my time of eating out in bars restaurants cafe's ect I've never had such a poor repulsive meal sat down in front of me.For a basic ulster fry it beggars belief bacon undercooked soda potato bread burned to a crisp. Beans mushrooms stone cold. Coffee you could stand in it . Absolutely terrible experience one word AVOID.

27/12/2020: Food as before didn't fail to deliver. Excellent from the chef. Service staff attentive and very good. Only problem was 'front of house/ head waiter/ whatever title he commands! Obnoxious character and because of his behaviour I will not be revisiting this establishment and do not recommend it anymore. It's all part of the dining experience and on this occasion he ruined it. What a disappointment

20/12/2020: Had our Xmas Dinner here.Took us three attempts and 35 minutes to order our food.Portions were very small, main course was only just warm.One of the coffee's had globules of grease floating on the surface.Wouldn't be in a rush back.5 out of 10.

08/11/2020: Ordered the bake at home due to lockdown. Food was superb. Beautifully packaged with clear instructions. A real treat at home. Would definitely recommend.

07/10/2020: Quite possibly the best food I've eaten in a long time. At first when I saw the steak being brought out to a family member I regretted my decision to get the venison. However, my plate followed within seconds and my disappointment at my decision immediately dispersed. The food was melt in the mouth perfection and the whole ambience of the meal was delightful. The menu was varied and offered something for all tastes. Would recommend to anyone.

04/10/2020: I generally come with my family and tonight it was just myself and a friend. We had a great evening and food was top notch as always! Dev and team are brilliant they always make the kids feel welcome & are brilliant with my son's Celiac's disease.

31/08/2020: After driving past this restaurant many times we always thought it looked a bit drap from the outside but thought we would try it anyway. Once inside we totally forgot about the outside as the inside was lovely. The restaurant was very busy and we had booked which I'm glad we did. The starters where excellent and the mains outstanding. The manager was very friendly and welcoming as we're all the staff. We returned to the restaurant a week later and once again booked as it was busy (Saturday night) everything was as we remembered EXCELLENT. We have found our local go ti restaurant and would highly recommend but book in advance.

03/12/2020: I'll mention that its best to ring and book ahead because this place is popular because its so good! The food is amazing and the staff are really pleasant. If you havent been there then you are missing out.

21/09/2020: 10/10 for quality of food, portion size and really friendly staff. Great menu, so much to chose from and in great surrounding especially in these difficult Covid times, plenty of space between tables but still with a great atmosphere. We will certainly be back shortly.

18/12/2020: Decided last minute to stay a night in Ballycastle , checked trip advisor for restaurant recommendations and The Anzac came out tops .Food Staff and Ambiance all excellent. Hope to return next year - sometime?

15/10/2020: I don't often leave reviews, however in light of recent restrictions on the restaurant trade I think they deserve as much encouragement as possible. Tonight was my first time in Anzac after reading other reviews. I can see why so many people rate Anzac. From arriving the staff were all very friendly and professional. The food was fantastic, with great flavours, well presented and perfect sized portions. My wife and I both had fish mains, Hake and Monkfish Scampi (special). Both dishes were delicious and the fish was so tender. The starters and dessert didn't disappoint, but I must recommend their fish dishes. As far as Covid safety, it was excellent. The tables were safely spaced, all staff had masks on, plenty of sanitizer available and was very clean. I hope that the restaurant and all of their staff get through the next few weeks of restrictions ok, and if you can support them please do.

17/10/2020: All round great hotel,, professional and friendly staff,, nothing too much trouble,,, 3rd time there can't wait to get back, and bar staff 8n gilles brilliant team.

15/10/2020: Excellent as always! Food and staff were second to none as always. Afternoon tea was perfect, honestly couldn’t fault them in any way. Would highly recommend!!

29/12/2020: We dined here twice this month and they managed to do the Covid distancing etc but still maintain a warm atmosphere in the restaurant. The food and service were first class. There is no other way to describe it. Highly recommended.

16/10/2020: Had meal here last night before Covid closing. All Covid regulations were in force and we never felt at risk. From initial greeting by staff to the social distancing the regulations were strictly enforced but the star of the show was our food. Truly delicious. I had the poached pear to start and the other half had the salmon. Whilst I went for the salmon for main, he had a fillet steak which was and I quote “ perfect” First meal here but certainly not the last.

15/12/2020: We were at the Sleepy Hollow yesterday for lunch. This was our first visit and will definitely return. The food was excellent, portion sizes were more than ample, presentation was excellent and staff were amazing. Well done Sleepy Hollow.

09/10/2020: We were at Sleepy Hallow Restaurant yesterday evening. A cold October night with a warm, cosy welcome as soon as we entered. We got a quiet table with relaxing, peaceful music playing in the background, over the speakers. The whole experience was 100% from the friendly staff, lovely decor to the delicious meal. We had a coffee and main course. The service was excellent. Our meal was delicious as was the presentation, I took the photo after I had started eating. We were able to book a table online from their website and view the menu. Thankyou to all the staff who made our first visit so enjoyable we will definitely be back. Thanks Maggie & David
