Restaurants in Newtownards

The Foxes Den Restaurant

First time here with a friend and there was a great buzz. The food was delicious- I had their French toast (brioche) and bacon. My friend had a vegetarian fry. Would highly recommend for breakfast/brunch/lunch. My friend said they are great for gorgeous tray bakes but I didn’t see those this visit.

Captain Jack's / Jack's Bistro

First time using the sit in as myself and my partner get a takeaway (we are local) well the sit in did not disappoint,the decor is beautiful..the seating arrangements and art positioned at the tables is stunning! The staff were more than pleasant and helpful.The food is proper food..perfectly cooked and presented.We will be back as we haven't stopped talking about the fish! It could of fed a family ? the place is a credit to you both!

No 14 at The Georgian House

A restaurant that pleases from the outset. Good location. Good service, friendly but professional. Ambience, what one enjoys. Recommendations provided as to food when requested.
No.14 (how was that name chosen? Maybe I didn't read some detail) will have a return visit from us, excellent.

Ichiban Sushi Teppanyaki Japanese Restaurant & Take Away

Cannot believe I’ve been ignorant to this spot that has been on our doorstep. Atmosphere is great, restaurant is clean, staff are great.

The food portions are generous and the products are all fresh. My new favourite spot in ards. Price is incredibly reasonable.

Thank you!

Cafolla's At The Square

Really good breakfast and service was fantastic. Gave our two year old a free small ice cream which was v thoughful. First time there and will certainly be back after this.

Regency

Called today was very busy ... seated fairly quickly, had to wait about 20 mins to get food but was excellent quality, no pbz recommending this busy wee cafe, clean and friendly

McBrides On The Square

Warm, welcoming and dignified service by experienced staff after a recent funeral for a close relative. Could not recommend highly enough for private hire in these circumstances.

Comber Tandoori

Visited just before Christmas for a birthday meal. Staff were super friendly and seated us quickly by the fire which was nice and cosy.

Food arrived fairly quickly and was good on the whole. Portions were generous. There were a couple of dishes I thought could have had more flavour and spice, but I enjoyed the meal nonetheless.

Eastern Tandoori Indian Restaurant & Takeaway

fantastic curry. hot and fresh. wasn't too expensive either. just one small thing, no free poppadoms. spent £50 on 3 meals and no wee freebies. not a deal breaker but everywhere else in Ards gives at least 2 free poppadoms and sauces xx

Old Post Office Lisbane

Excellent atmosphere, lovely space. The staff were so helpful and professional, relatively quick service as well. The food was fantastic, it's very difficult to choose from the menu, everything looks great, especially the salads on show. Nice kids menu too. Lovely little shop interspersed. The food to go near the door is extremely well priced and very hard to walk past! Will definitely be back!

Akash Indian Takeaway

Had a lovely takeaway this evening , food was well cooked , piping hot , not greasy and so tasty, ordered on line and was ready when I went to collect as stated , highly recommend

Pizza Girl

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service I received from one of your pizza delivery drivers. From the moment they arrived, their professionalism and friendly demeanor were evident. The delivery was prompt, and the pizza was still hot and fresh, which is always a plus! Their excellent service truly enhanced my dining experience, and I will definitely be ordering from your establishment again in the future. Please extend my gratitude to the driver for their exceptional service!

Terracotta

This was my first time using Terracotta the service was friendly and efficient and the chicken curry I ordered was to die for I would recommend Terracotta and will be back again

Mauds Newtownards

Kids love going here , always a great selection (pooh bear) is always the winner for us , coffee and tray bakes are available and delicious I can't fault here at all ,staff lovely , clean environment, see yous again next week ?

The Diamonds

I don’t usually rate places but this is the best Chinese take away in Newtownards by a canter. I’ve been eating from it since I was a young child and their peking sauce is completely unmatched, I’ve tried it from every other restaurant in town and no other place comes close.

The Poachers Pocket

Excellent menu, likewise the food itself. A lovely, clean and well maintained venue. Excellent service. Locals already know, but this is a cracking place for a meal.

Balloo House

I would mention as of 28th March 26 that the review below is no longer accurate. I believe standards have fallen terribly in this once very much favoured establishment and its unlikely we will return. Our last two meals there have been well below the standards of the past and its not acceptable!

Balloo House is a firm favourite locally and always has been! It has gone through numerous changes in my lifetime and yet unlike many establishments, none of the changes have detracted from its charm and characteristics of old, rather they have added to its good foundation!
Balloo offers a beautifully diverse menu to delve into and discover tastes that are simply divine!
With options to cover all tastes, I think the most appropriate advice I could give someone looking for a quality meal and drinks, along with warm and comfortable surroundings, would be just to go and experience the place for yourself and see exactly what I mean!

Overwood at Balloo

Had a lovely night at Overwood, service was brilliant, Owen especially went above and beyond for us.
The bread and chicken skin butter were unreal. We got the octopus and scallops to start. For mains, whole monkfish and steak fillet which were cooked perfectly. Would highly recommend for a date night/ special occasion!

Cafolla's

Came in for a spot of lunch solo cafollas did not disappoint very clean relaxing cosy atmosphere staff are really friendly and food is delicious will definitely return

The Wildfowler Inn

Stopped here lastnite, no bookin no problem. Had dog with me, blonde girl served me put us beside fire, brought water for dog & was very polite. Food was lush

The Ganges Indian restaurant

Never usualy post reviews, but this was hands down one of the best Indian takeaways I've had. 10/10 stars. Absolutely delicious, super fresh and flavourful, not greasy in the slightest! Beautiful! Cannot recommend this place enough, well worth the money with generous portion sizes.

Rambo's Pizzas Pastas Burgers

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Food & Great Service at Rambos Takeaway!
Rambos Takeaway never disappoints! The food is always fresh, hot, and full of flavour. Their burgers are juicy, the pizzas are perfectly cooked, and the Rambos special kebab is absolutely delicious.

The staff are friendly, welcoming, and provide quick service every time. Portions are generous and prices are very reasonable.

If you’re looking for tasty takeaway food with great quality and excellent customer service, Rambos is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended!

Purple onion pizza & kebab house

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely fantastic takeaway in Newtownards!
Purple Onion never disappoints. The food is always fresh, delicious, and full of flavour. Their pizzas are perfectly cooked with generous toppings, and the burgers are juicy and satisfying — you can really tell they care about quality.

If you’re looking for a go-to place for pizza or burgers in Newtownards, Purple Onion is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

Giuseppe’s Pizzeria

Went to our usual Pizza place at Giuseppes in Newtownards and once again was not disappointed, we had our normal pizza which was as always deliciously crispy and loaded with toppings, we decided to try the cheesy garlic butter chips. These were unreal! would recommend everyone to try them. The service was also great!

Valentino’s pizza Newtownards

The best takeaway in Bangor/ ARDS. Delivery was a bit slow, but did a collection also. The food is stunning, the Christmas chip was amazing, and the portions are huge. Way better than most chippy. Very polite staff too

Express Pizza

Just moved to Comber and honestly feel like
I've discovered an absolute GEM! ??
Tried Express Pizza for the first time and
WOW... probably the best pizza I've had in forever!
The pizza was so fresh, absolutely loaded with toppings, full of flavour and cooked perfectly. You can really taste the quality!
Delivered steamy and pipping hot!?
So happy to have found this little place??
Highly recommend!

Del Piero's URBAN

always amazing! celebrated a friend's birthday here and they were so accommodating. we brought board games and enjoy some really good food!! staff are so lovely and kind. always enjoy every time I call :)

John Dory’s

Accidentally put my order in to this location online but actually needed it on Newtonards road. The woman I spoke with was extremely understanding and accommodating despite having already made my order. She phoned the correct location and put my order in with them. Fantastic service!

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible

Haptik

Incredible find.
Welcomed as soon as we walked through the door.
Great coffee, food delicious, presented with care and flair in equal measure.
If you are anywhere near here and hungry, you must visit.
If you're not, it is well worth a detour!

Emporium Asian Cuisine

A very busy spot at weekends - someone got £350 worth after us!!Good - lovely chicken noodle soup and ribs for starters, the curry is delicious although a little too spicy and the sweet and sour peking style is great, chips are not too bad at all. They are very generous on meats and give you plenty of prawn crackersBad - the chicken skewers (look great with 3 separate bits of chicken) were abit tough, although the sauce was lovely. The fried rice is too white in colour and needs some more oil or soya sauce added

Subway

I work nightshift so I'm in about 4 times a week for a salad box the food is fresh the staff are lovely and friendly so I prefer to use this store the most thanks subway staff ????

Millars Fish & Chips

These​ are the best chips and fish anywhere. Sit-in specials are brilliant. Choice is next to no one. Plus great selection including chicken burgers & kebabs. Spoil yourself here.

Lynn's

This visit produced the best fish and chips I've ever had. The fish was fresh and white and the chips were crispy, just how I like them. I've been a few times to eat in when I visit my friend but this visit was the best yet.....

Burger King

Girl on counter was so helpful when I couldn't get app to work to get code. I'll go back here just because of her. Thank you. Sorry I didn't get you name. It needed to be mentioned here!!!!

Alchemy

Wife and I went for breakfast this morning. Food was 10 out of 10 good value . And Caitlyn was very friendly great at her job . She is an asset to this restaurant .Always makes time for everyone . Couldn’t praise her enough.DavyConn

The Parlour Bar & Restaurant

Great spot that deserves more footfall than it appears to get.
Service is always great, beautiful interior that creates a great atmosphere and good grub.
The Roast Beef Baps are particularly good.

International Bar

Best guinness in Ards, best staff ever. Roisin and the staff are amazing. They don't do food but sandwiches sometimes appear for free hence 5 star food rating. Its like being welcomed into their home.

Coach Inn

First time in this bar we where with 5 other people great atmosphere and the crack and atmosphere was fantastic just a special thanks to Brendin for the way he treated us will definitely will be back and fully recommend this bar if you are in Portaferry

Trait Coffee

Trait never fail to impress. Food always amazing but their new coffee from Asia is just fantastic. Thx to Chris for the recommendation ???. An amazing and fruity coffee ????

Fiddlers Green

What a fantastic little pub! We stopped in for a pint, and ended up staying for the afternoon. Tracey made us feel so welcome, we will definitely be going back on our next trip. We also enjoyed the company of a few locals, and they were lovely as well. Thank you for memories we'll never forget ❤️

The Peppercorn Bistro

Must admit I was pleasantly surprised by the the reception and treatment I received from the waitresses at this establishment, especially Jenna who was extremely helpful in helping us decide what selection to make.
We settled for the club sandwich each. In truth one would have been sufficient. There was alot of filling and there was no way you could describe it as bland.
Well recommended

The Goose

Great coffee shop for a coffee/tea and tray bake. Delicious scones- I had raspberry and white chocolate this time. They top up your coffee with filter coffee if you ask- at less busy times they bring the filter coffee round to offer a top up.
Their fry’s, french toast and bacon, BLTs and other food is really great.
Lovely courtyard to sit outside in nice weather.

Salthouse Restaurant

Food taste is very good. All Desi food is with real taste is available here. Addition to this separate family space is available alongside family party space can be reserved.

Cloud 9 Restaurant at the Ulster Flying Club

Brilliant will definitely be back 10 / 10
Don't miss it. Surprised to c it so busy but after our meal, I now understand why. Try the tatty bread fritter. Fantastic loads of flavours.

New Railway Bar

I've never been so drunk in my life, I remember throwing up in the taxi costing £50, it was an expensive day out :) great pool table though! Friendly staff

Salt n Vinegar

Got a big takeaway to share with family. It was my first time, and it was lovely. Lovely chips and fresh fish, and nothing greasy. The chicken goujon was tasty as well. I will definitely be back!
Staff were great to.

Daft Eddy's | Bar & Restaurant

It's been quite a while since I was last here and I was not disappointed.
You can't help but like the setting of this restaurant on a small island on Strangford Lough. Accessible by a short causeway, the scenery is fabulous.
We had soup with wheaten bread, steak and Guinness pie, and I had apple sponge with custard and ice cream. The food was ample in quantity, and beautiful in quality. Suitable for families or like us, a nice lunch for two.
The restaurant is quite big but still has a nice atmosphere about it and is spotlessly clean. It won't be so long until I'm back again.

The Auld House

Nice location, friendly staff & atmosphere. The food is aesthetically pleasing, however attention to detail is key. The salads aren't dressed, & the roast potatoes were unfortunately not great, they're either frozen roasties, or they've been recooked too much, to make the skins like leather. I would still however recommend this place, the seatrout was cooked to perfection, & the wife was also really pleased with her starter & main courses.

Talbot's Catch

Talbot's Catch serves some of the best fish and chips around. Fresh chunky fish, light crispy batter and perfectly cooked chips made this an outstanding meal.

After hearing lots of good reviews, we finally tried it today. I was surprised to find it’s actually a large mobile food trailer rather than a traditional shop, but that quickly became irrelevant once we tasted the food.

We ordered three portions of fish and chips plus a curry sauce. The chips were spot on, crispy outside, fluffy inside, and not greasy. The fish fillets were large, fresh and beautifully cooked in a thin, crispy batter.

My only small criticism was the curry sauce, which was a bit too thick — almost solid. Personally I’d prefer it slightly runnier for dipping. I added water to it which fixed the problem.

That aside, the food was excellent overall — easily a 10/10. We’ll definitely be back.

Now… please open one in Newtownards ?

The willow tree cafe gallery

Huge portions, beautiful homemade food, brilliant local recommendations for travel, and devastated we didn't pay more attention and realise original artwork that we've been looking at since we've returned to Airbnb ?? what a gorgeous local gem ? ? ❤️

The Ivy Bar

Really friendly staff and customers alike, has 3 separate sections, the first is the main bar the a lounge and the final section is the pool/live entertainment room.

Lucy's Chippy

Superb Fish & Chips.
Very generous portion of Haddock and Chips, ( unlike the other takeaway ).
Staff were great fun, I will definitely be going back here on a weekly basis and highly recommend - you will not be disappointed.

ME Dumigan's Bar

I’d been trying to get to this world famous wee bar with a big heart for almost 30 years! Now we know why it’s sometimes called the glue pot. Easy to get into and easier still to get stuck there. The welcome is warm, the craic totally mighty and there’s even a couple of guitars in the window if you fancy a tune. You could easy miss an evenings worth of ferry’s by calling in for one before the boat!

The Village Inn

Booked a table for 12 to celebrate my Dad's 60th. Great service, great food and great staff. Especially Will who had plenty of banter and laughs. Just what you want from your server. Thanks Will for entertaining us :)

Brownlow Arms

An absolute gem of a bar. Local, quaint, olde worldy, (quite small? but perfectly formed?) chilled, good craic, busy sometimes, other times not?
Either way- it's always a pleasure to stop by here and have a little beverage.
Staff are amazing...special shout out to the iconic JAMES...He - in my (and many others) humble opinion- is The BEST barman in Ulster ? ?
Side note: The Guinness here is AWESOME! ?
#goComber

The Lep Bar

Thoroughly enjoyed a quick visit to this unassuming pub, which also was the only place open in town at the moment, but happened to be a happy coincidence. Friendly, professional owners, nice local regulars, and a solid pint of Guinness to be had. Bathroom was exceptionally clean and I would have stayed for three more pints if there wasn’t a ferry to catch. (No, I was not driving.)

Will return on my next visit to Northern Ireland.

The Mermaid Bar

The Chestnut Inn

The restaurant part has unfortunately been closed for a while now. But the last time I was in there with 3 other people, we really loved it.

It was during a winter years ago, we loved the pub feeling of it, they also had the fire lit and it was really comfortable.

The food was really great, we enjoyed it so much that we said we'd happily come back. I remember having the battered chicken goujons and chips.

Genuinely, some of the nicest food we've had out of a pub-type restaurant. My family ranted and raved how nice the place and food was.

Hopefully, they get it up and running again soon. ?

Parking: They have a small car park within their premises for free.

McClements

The attention to detail, choice, presentation and service - absolutely amazing for my dad's 90th birthday...Thank you to all the McClements family in helping to make it a very memorable afternoon for him....

First & Last

First time here with two dogs on our travels. We felt so welcomed and comfortable. Staff and locals so friendly and the dogs had many pats. A great spot for a drink with the hounds for a local welcome.

First & Last

Best place I have drank the owner is lovely I wasent able to pay because of the bank machine wasn’t accepting my card. And she let 15 pounds worth of drinks. She was so huge throughout the whole interaction. Perfect service.

One Wok

Food is excellent, friendly helpful staff but sadly their latest price hike will prevent me from going back, £8.90 for Sweet and Sour chicken with rice is far too expensive when you consider I can buy an identical meal around the corner for £7.20

Tower Inn Pub Newtownards

Don't judge a book by it's cover.. Best bar in the town, juke box plays excellent up to date/old classics music, brill atmosphere, lovely clientele,. Pool table, reasonable drink prices..What more could you ask for!
