We came in, very hungry, after a tour at the distillery, and very cold due to the arctic gale force winds that let smacking us! Once inside, we considered just moving in! The place is literally at the entrance to the Giants Causeway visitors center parking lot. It's a cute, rustic (like every other building in the area) building with equally quaint interior that trends towards a pub with a subtle nautical theme. Darker woods, lighter walls, a nice bar and several rooms that lead into each other, but seem very separate. The vibe is perfect! They've got plenty of Irish pub fare, most of which is hot - a key piece of info as most fingers were fighting for feeling at this point. We ordered Steak and Guinness pie, fish pie, fish and chips, a couple scones and Irish Stew. Ravenously hungry, we tackled this beastly lunch and all left full and warm. The scones were closer to biscuits, but were probably the best we've had in the country - and my better half loves her some scones! The food came out quick - the place was crazy busy and it still took less than 10 minutes. By the time we were done, we wondered if we could just stow away in the basement and live off the scones and cream! Parking was best done in the visitors center parking lot so make sure you're coming out here where you've already paid for the trip out to the coastline. The was exactly what we hoped it would be and exactly what we were looking for on this typical Irish spring day!

If you want to grab a bite before or after visiting the Causeway and you enjoy suffering, The Nook…read moreis the place for you. Our group ordered three meals. A "steak burger" for me, a chicken ciabatta for my wife, and a chicken sandwich for our friend that was nothing more than bread, mayo, and chicken. All three dishes shared one thing in common: a level of disappointment I didn't think food could physically achieve. My burger was somehow crunchy and chewy at the same time. I don't know how that is physically possible. The temperature was off, the taste was weird, and the texture felt like it was actively fighting back. My wife's chicken had fake grill lines and actual gray spots, which is exactly the kind of visual you want right before eating. Our friend's sandwich made him sick, which honestly felt like the most accurate review of the entire meal. Inside, the vibe would be cool if anything had been updated since The Troubles, but it hasn't. You order at the bar, where the staff greets you with the emotional warmth of a DMV waiting room. You also get to pay for tap water, which really ties the whole experience together. The food tasted like it came from the back of a freezer last touched in 2005. It fully lives up to the stereotype of bland, sad, English-adjacent cooking. Even prison food probably clears a higher bar. It's crowded, but only because there are two food options in the whole area. Even with that, stay hungry. Wait until you're back in Belfast or Dublin. A gas-station Burger King will bring you more joy. And yes, it's overpriced. Painfully so. It would have been overpriced even if the food were good, which it wasn't. What absolutely blows my mind is that this place somehow averages four stars on Yelp. I am genuinely shocked. I don't know who is rating this, but I can only assume they all lost bets or taste buds. Final verdict: The Causeway is incredible. The Nook is not. Go if you genuinely enjoy misery in restaurant form.

It was a drizzly March afternoon when we arrived, and the place was quiet as there was an hour to go until closing. The cafe itself was cute, with mismatched chairs and tables - so familiar in quirky 'offbeat' metropolitan cafes, but offered something a little different in this small town. We had open sandwiches and coffees, the bread was superb, everything was freshly prepared and it tasted like it. The proprietors, a young couple, were pleasant without being overenthusiastic, a trait that rings false in some Dublin cafes. We were left to eat our food in peace. As we paid they kindly gave us a couple of complimentary pastries to take with us - which were most appreciated when we reached our final destination. Shortly thereafter we encountered Ursa Minor bread in Babushka in Portrush! Great to see that a young local business is thriving all over Northern Ireland!

It must be awesome for business if you are the owner of this place…read more The reason I say this is because today I am on a tour with "The Paddywagon." There must be a contract where they shut the place down for certain time periods. This allows tour buses to come for lunch and have their tourists get a quick bite. As you get off your bus, boom. Food is warm and ready for you to order. I ordered the Seafood Chowder and was very impressed with it. For some reason I thought it was going to be one of those things where I got a bunch of different seafood in it along with clams. But all I really saw was Salmon chunks. That being said, the soup itself was delish. It oddly enough didn't taste super fishy either which I know can be hit or miss for people. But I really just enjoyed that creamy broth. Ugh...I feel like any broth that is tasty and creamy just owns my soul. OH! Big protip. Get the Guinness bread. Its the big fluffy brown bread. It has a lot of flavor and was recommended to us by our tour guide. Definitely worth it, just like this cafe.
