The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Donard Down South Eastern NI

Situated on Central Promenade, Newcastle, Co.Down the covered outdoor seating gives a truly Mediterrean atmosphere as you admire the views of the harbour and Slieve Donard, the highest peak in Northern Ireland, as it sweeps down to the sea. Choose one of the fabulous Base Coffee drinks or select from the range of herbal teas. For morning snacks try the sausage rolls, croisants or scone with fresh jam. Then later in the day you must try the home baked apple pie of one of the delicious (but huge) tray bakes. Base Coffee is not just a coffee shop, it's a hub for many regulars and undoubtedly you will very quickly feel welcome.

First class operation run by a first class husband and wife team. Not sure where the owners did their training but the menu is fully worthy of a visit. I personally find the service to be of a proper American style "the customer is always right" standard with a very pleasant and relaxed dining environment.The daily soup and sandwich lunch deals cannot be beaten anywhere and the baked potatoes are a culinary delight, highly recommended.

I love this spot. Food always delicious. Staff always friendly and every experience is always positive. Only issue is sometimes that it's difficult to get seating because it's so busy. Credit were credit is due...definitely the best spot for brunch/lunch in Newcastle.

We were here for a beer. I hope it will be open soon. This bar had nice atmosphere, we enjoyed our visit here.

Just what we need to satisfy the ole sweet-tooth. Great service, we were in and out in 10-12 minutes. Great ice cream, the rum raisin was especially good.

First time at Mackens for food. Very impressed with the menu choices, quality of food and friendly and prompt service from staff. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend.

Came in for ice creams at the ice cream counter to be served very quickly by the red haired supervisor. Very nice very friendly. However we had to wait in the queue for over 5 minutes with melting ice cream whilst this young petite girl standing at the counter decided not only to take her time taking money she started casually talking to her mate who was in before us while we had ice cream over our hands. Started to get fed up and noticed she stopped talking and then thought she was going to take our money eventually, nope she started talking to a member of staff not knowing who two ice cream sundaes belonged to. I had to pipe up, are you going to take our money here ? And the girl looked so ignorantly at me took my tenner and then slammed the change in my hand. That girl needs a lesson in running a busy ice cream shop where it took seconds to get the ice cream but wait in a queue to pay. This is an issue that I’m sure people will avoid again due to not wanting to buy a melted ice cream. At then end we had to gulp the ice cream down as by the time we got outside to enjoy it half of it was gloop dripping all over the place.

Lovely gluten free cheese and ham toastie with a nice fresh salad and coleslaw. The lady who served me was very friendly and helpful.

This place is amazing. I came here to celebrate my 21st birthday and booked the venue. Incredible service, catering and views of the sea. Could not recommend this place any more.
