Recommended Eating and Entertainment on the Causeway Coast Eating out on the Causeway Coast can be as spectacular, as intimate, or as rewarding as anywhere in Europe. Deciding where to eat is largely down to what mood you're in, how much damage your wallet can withstand or who it is you are dining with.

More popular than ever, Northern Irish pub grub is not just a Ploughman's Lunch and a beer. Fresh scampi, Irish stews, poached wild salmon and trout, home baked hams and breads are often available at pubs in even the smallest of villages. There are fine dining restaurants all over Northern Ireland.

Traditional Irish Pubs

Stop off in the evenings and you'll find a warm welcome and enjoy some of the "Ulster craic" with the locals. For traditional music the pubs from Ballycastle to Larne are particularly good.
