The best restaurants in Northern Ireland

Freshly made tasty food. Locally owned and run. Give this wee place your business instead of the chain cafes.

Truly the best grilled cheese, or toasties, I have ever eaten!!! So good!! The bread was crusty, and the cheese!! Crispy on the outside and warm and gooey on the inside. It doesn’t get any better for comfort food!! Our group tried the #1 & #3; all amazing. Get the pickles. The jalapeños aren’t very spicy, though I’d have been happy if they were. The kids had the kids sandwich and they also were very pleased. LOVE this place!! The market is fantastic as well. So many yummy things available to make your next meal very special. I wish I lived next door!

First visit to Academy with a few friends after hearing good reports through word of mouth. We really enjoyed our evening. The restaurant itself is slick and chic, service was excellent and the food was absolutely great. I had the mushroom arancini, steak and eton mess. Loved all of it. Would highly recommend.

If you want a great food and great cocktails and great staff then visit here ... this place is always consistent and welcoming

This place is absolutely to die for if you like proper Italian dishes. We are regulars and have never had a bad meal. It's an all round family favourite

8 de nosotros visitamos Banh Boy para el almuerzo del domingo. Uno de nuestro grupo es vegano y fue atendido bien y disfrutó de su comida. El resto de nosotros tuvimos el pollo de ternera y salmón todos estaban deliciosos, la selección de verduras y patatas fabuloso también Absolutamente me encantó los sabores y los pasteles de pescado tailandés y patatas fritas tailandesas eran tan buenos. Sin duda volvería

Excellent food, excellent service. What more could you ask for?

Absolutely awesome 🤩 we had a few small plates to get a good feel for the variety of the menu and WOW! My personal fav was chicken parfait but every single mouthful was heaven. I hope this restaurant gets awarded a Michelin star it would be well deserved ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ will defo be back HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

What an amazing place! Just like walking into a Victorian sitting room. Very warm welcome. Had a home made pizza (which had tasty home cooked ham in abundance) fries, homemade cake and a bottomless pot of tea. We stayed for ages chatting to the owners and fellow diners. Everyone so friendly and welcoming. We were so sorry we were passing through on a tour of Ireland and couldn't return.

Excellent delivery service, very fast service, friendly delivery driver Orlagh, top class pizza. I would definitely get a pizza from here again.
