Ballycastle/giants causeway options

[cnspriggs]

Hi! I'm taking my significant other to this area for his birthday as its an area of Ireland he would love to see. Is there any restaurants or pubs in the area that come recommended to eat at?

Thanks!

The Antrim coast is spectacular and the Giant’s Causeway is not to miss. Nearby you will find the Bushmills Inn (in Bushmills, where they make the whiskey) which serves good wholesome food and in Portrush, you will find the Ramore Restaurant and Wine Bar which has a number of dining options.

If you head in to Belfast, the Mourne Seafood Bar is well worth checking out for very fresh fish from a wet counter in a casual atmosphere, Molly’s Yard has well-sourced produce cooked simply and well, and James Street South is a more elegant, fashionable spot. As far as I know, Restaurant Michael Deane (the only Michelin-starred restaurant up that direction) is now open again after being refurbished, so might be worth checking out.

If you’re heading Fermanagh/Cavan direction at all, MacNean Restaurant and House which has been completely refurbished is well worth checking out for excellent cooking at a great price. Meticulously sourced produce too.
