Absolutely fabulous afternoon. Food amazing. Seafood platter to start followed by Chilli Prawns served in a curled poppadom. Crab toes excellent, mussels brilliant. Perfectly cooked steaks, Lamb rump beautifully served. Relaxed atmosphere and unhurried service. Couple of slight negatives,staff forgot one Main course but it arrived quickly so wasn't a Biggie, also the rissoto wasn't to one of the customer's tatse so it was changed to a fabulous steak with no drama. Will definitely be back. Bring your own wine kept the price down. Light and airy atmosphere. Highly recommended.

I usually go to the café across the road but decided to give this one a go. The staff were lovely and friendly and the small fry was delicious. I have friends who insist on coming here for breakfast and I can see why. Thanks for the lovely grub, great start to the day.

Ballycastle's best kept secret...
Reviewed By martinhF8628CF
It was suggested by the owner of the Carnately Lodge and we were not disappointed. Although no table immediately available, after a drink in the local O'Connors Bar, we returned to find our table ready. The choice of food is extensive and well presented.My Fillet steak was excellent and not too pricy. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Overall, a really nice dining experience and congratulation to Chris for running a lovely restaurant.

Popped in for breakfast on Sunday a short while ago. Arrived five minutes after opening and lots of tables already taken. Cosy atmosphere, friendly staff and varied menu. We opted for French Toast with maple syrup and bacon. Hadnât long to wait and was just what we wanted....good quality bacon and generously eggy toast!We noticed what some others were eating and everything looked very appetising. Reasonably priced. Can highly recommend.

We visited on a busy Friday night. Unfortunately, the staff was not ready for a crowd. We had a long wait to order food and did not get much attention from them. When the food finally arrived, we were pleasantly surprised. Very tasty and high quality!

We just had coffee and a beautiful scone made on the premises by a very friendly owner Teresa and the place is very clean and really the menu was very extensive and I will be returning in the not too distant future to treat myself to a more substantial meal and judging by the meals we saw being served they all looked really good.Well done to Teresa and all the hard working staff.

Locally and responsibly sourced produce. Quality food at great prices.Delicious steaks and seafood, freshly prepared using quality ingredients, served in a relaxed atmosphere.

We were in Ballycastle for a family gathering to celebrate our great granddaughters christening. 16 of us gathered at the Anzac bar and restaurant and enjoyed an excellent evening. The owner, Fenton, and his staff made us very welcome. Downstairs is a rustic bar serving local ales, upstairs is a large restaurant serving food to a very good standard. The steaks were succulent and good value as were the fish and chicken. Thoroughly recommended.
