Talk about a room with a view! The restaurant at this historic hotel (the building dates to 1836) looks onto the Giants’ Causeway UNESCO World Heritage site and the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean.

Newly refurbished, it’s a stylish and contemporary space where you can tuck into local mussels and Mary’s wheaten bread or butchers sausages with champ and caramelized onion gravy.

There’s a lot more besides. The Asian duck salad is a plate full of spice and zing. The goats cheese pasta is punchy yet comforting.

Light bites in the bar include soups, sandwiches, burgers, fish, steak…we could go on. For dessert, how about chocolate panna cotta with raspberry shortbread and a coffee hazelnut cream?

There are plans for a hot counter groaning with traditional dishes like Irish stew. They’ll all be made from ingredients a Giants Causeway stone’s throw away. Can’t wait!
