Lovely fish, but wish they could have done something different to cod, like Haddock, or Hake or plaice or skate as it caught just off the coast.

Having stayed several times in the Bushmills area I always return here for something to eat and have never been let down. There is a varied menu with specials and early bird offers etc but the quality of the food and drink on offer is always first class. A nice cosy, welcoming atmosphere with ample parking this is just a place to come and relax. Good value for money.
3. The Bushmills Inn Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1 reviews
one of Ireland's and the UK's most loved hotels which fuses traditional charm and bags of boutique luxury to deliver the best in hospitality in an area of outstanding natural beauty in Northern Ireland. Roaring peat fires, nooks and crannies and a secret library set the tone. In the bar, still lit by gas light, try a glass of malt from the hotel's private cask and make sure to sample some of the finest North Antrim produce in the AA Rosette restaurant.

Good restaurant offering surroundings basics like trout, salmon, meat dishes. Well executed dishes, leaving room to natural flavour (without much seasoning) but missing a bit of creativity both on taste and design. Not a cheap option averagign 30/35£ per person without wine.

We ve been coming here on many occasions, tonight first time on a Saturday, food was absolutely lovely and our seever professional and nice but i had a very bad experience whenever we tried to get back up in the bar, we ve been stopped by the bouncers asking us if we have a stamp, before our dinner we were upstairs waiting for 1 hour to dine downstairs, i never knew you need an stamp i can understand the place is very busy on a Saturday but i think you should let people know they need a stamp if place is getting to busy
To be honest this ruined what was a perfect night for valentines day

I have been coming to this region of Northern Ireland for a long time and never heard of this restaurant (not sure how)! I had the best meal ever in it last weekend, the layout was great to start!
The food was very good steak was cooked perfectly and the starter of pigs and blankets was a pleasant surprise! It was also reasonable value for the quality!

Really nice fish and chips here. I can't comment on the other stuff like pizza.
The fish batter was light, well seasoned and cooked.
The chips I would go as far as to say are they best I've had. The potato they use is delicious. The oil is light and you can't taste it and they cooked them perfectly two nights in a row!

Stopped in the nook for a quick drink during a tour which included a stop at the causeway (this place is right beside it) never had any food but the drinks and service was fine. It was a handy place to get out from the cold!
Some random nice artwork and photos on the walls too which I have photos of!

A wonderfully kitsch and terribly quaint cottage just opposite Dunluce Castle. Asides from making a great pitstop on a rainy visit to the castle it serves delicious cakes and various other food items. I tried 3 cakes and all were yummy. The open hearth was very welcome on a cold day! My friend also bought a woolly hat as it sells some gift items.
Nice staff.

We were staying in the hotel and decided to eat in the restaurant which proved to be a good idea. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was great and the menu had lots of choice and was good value for money. Would definitely recommend a visit to this hotel and restaurant.

Ate here as am staying here (and was too cold to go anywhere else). Lovely ambiance, wood fire, Xmas lights, dark lighting. Had the veggie broth and chilli pasta. Not great, but good! Enjoyed a glass of red by the fire afterwards.Thank you for your comments, we are delighted that you enjoyed staying at Bayview, Kind Regards, Trevor and Team Bayview
