The Boathouse
What a fantastic location for a restaurant? It’s quite literally in the water at Bangor Harbour. The clue is in the name. It was the old boat house. These days, the boats bring the catch from mere metres away. Crabs, mussels, lobster, scallops…Don’t you feel hungry?
All of the cheeses are Irish. Most of them come straight from the producers. All of the meat is from fine suppliers like Hannans and Kettyle. Vegetables are straight from the farm. They grow their own herbs, micro herbs and edible flowers. They use Goatsbridge Irish caviar. All of the game is from local hunstmen. Get the picture? These guys are major foodies. Local brews, juices, cider and coffee too.
Most people want to try as much as they can, so the 5 and 7 course taster menus are the most popular. Loving the sound of pan roasted brill with edible sand and myriad other accompanying tastes of the sea. But there’s similar fare on a £20 two course lunch menu. This is very cheffy food and very, very addictive.
Disabled access from the back, but toilets are upstairs.
