The best restaurants in Kilkeel Central Newry and Mourne Southern NI

For two weeks, we started most mornings in Kilkeel with big, welcoming smiles and delicious, reasonably priced breakfasts from Janet and her staff at Neptune's Larder Cafe. Highly recommend this cafe for breakfast and lunch. David and Marian

During my recent visit to Kilkeel this was my first stop on several occasions for a coffee and a scone after my morning walk around the harbour. I was always greeted with a friendly smile by Sarah and the service and the food were both excellent. Will be back next time I will be in the area.

A bijou ice cream and coffee cafe along Kilkeel Main Street. Its really cosy with comfy seating. The folks serving are delightful. Kilkeel is a small village in the Mourne mountains on the Co Down coast with a fishing fleet. It has two fish producer organisations on the small harbour but I don't know why one isn't enough and I suppose I don't much care, I just noticed it. The cafe sells delicious Mauds ice cream and it's simply better than any other ice cream I've ever had - so there - ya can keep yer Häagan Dazs and Gerry & Ben. Clarke's too and as for Baskin Robbins - well no thank you very much. Mauds has been in the Ice Cream age now for over 40 years. I've been eating delicious Pooh Bear (honeycomb & vanilla) and my wife mint choc chip all that time. One medium Pooh one small (which isn't small) mint both cones £4.35. What's their secret, as well as taking for granted top notch premium ingredients is the one ingredient never ever on any label Overrun. Mauds doesn't have it. See what you can find from your ice provider of choice as most large scale manufactured ice cream is made up of 30% - 50% air content on average, so you may not have noticed that you are being ripped off. As well as paying for air, the cheap ice - cream makers also treat you to nonfat milk solids, corn syrup solids, mono and diglycerides, cellulose gum, guar gum, carrageenan, artificial colour, and artificial flavour. All to inflate their profit margins. Yum yum?

Had the fish and chips on Friday night, the batter was so crispy from first bit til last one and fish was amazing and perfectly cooked, diane had the southern fried chicken burger which was also perfectly cook and delicious, if you want great food then this is the place to go looking forward to our next meal there 😋

Great food. Very friendly service. Accommodated my elderly mum and 2 young kids with pernickety food requirements! I ordered soup and scampi and can honestly say that the scampi was the best I've ever had. Very family friendly, high quality restaurant food in a food court off a butchers. Defo worth a visit. Will be coming back for sure.

Fish excellent. Chips not the best

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

20 minute wait for a curry chip and the curry tastes horrible. Overpriced too.

Having pre-ordered by telephone and was advised about 20 minute wait which was fine but we had to wait another thirty minutes on top of the 20.

Fantastic spot. Authentic food. Great service, the lady behind the counter will give lollipops to children, and is very friendly. Priced extremely well. Can feed three comfortably for £20.

Dried out chicken "fried rice" stinking, actually tasteless mostly.. asked for curry sauce, didn't get it. ...chicken curry was like a big dollop of jelly when it was tipped out of the carton. Husband and son said it was ok... chips were nice. Safe to say we'll not be back lol.

Brilliant service lovely food and the chicken nuggets and chips are brilliant! I come nearly every week ordering 6 nuggets and large chip! Very very quick only 2 minutes for me to get I usually watch football with herrons! Best chicken shop ever!1!1!1!1!1!1!!1!1!1!!1

Traditional cafe, lovely lemon meringue with cream, also bought some locally made honey and potatoes from their own farm. Really friendly quality service too. If visiting Silent Valley don’t overlook calling in.

One of the best fish and chippies based in a trailer on road from harbour to Asda.Very busy at times.Friendly lady owner and her young female team. Priced reasonable.I get a cod and scampi small mix meal.Very filling and recommended. Always call if in area.

Excellent, great fish and chips, great portions, great value so yes 100% get in there and enjoy, great for a family
