Visiting this area, we stopped in based on most of the reviews. Ordered the seafood chowder and it was probably the best I've ever had. Mostly seafood, some potatoes, very little broth. Almost a meal in itself.Also got ribs and Puri chicken for main course. Both were good, but the ribs are on the sweet, sticky side. Not my favorite type, but they were fall off the bone and good for what they were.Overall, couldn't be happier with the food or service. Thank you for taking the time to write a review and we are delighted you enjoyed your meal. The chowder is one of our most popular dishes and we love your comments.

I last reviewed the Windrose in April 2018. Just after their recent 2018 refurbishment. Then I gave it a great review. Just visited it tonight with my wife and another couple. All I can say is - itâs even better than the last time. Not sure if itâs had a small facelift ( the privacy glass behind the tables) but the restaurant interior is stunning easily the most impressive in Carrickfergus and matches the best pub/bistros in belfast.The staff were excellent, both in greeting and service. I would also say that the menu choice was even better than the previous menu. What I have found over the years is that they have reduced the menu choices from what was 3-4 pages long menu that was far too big, to a one page menu of first class food.From the crab croquettes to the pate to the ribs and Irish short rib, it was just top class.Really enjoyable meal in a fantastic restaurant.Hi 1STTIMEBERLIN,Thank you so much for your review of The Windrose!It's fantastic to hear that you love our new menu as much as we do!We take great pride in the food and customer service we offer and a lot of thought goes into the decor and menus etc, so it is really fantastic to hear that you have enjoyed it so much.We can't wait to have you back again soon.Kind Regards,The Windrose

Spent the weekend in the area and went here one evening, service was great.So impressed that we came back the next day, a Saturday morning, to try their famous Ulster fry. Probably the best cooked breakfast I have ever had, no grease, well cooked, tasty and remarkably cheap. The coffee was decent as well. Service was great, many thanks.
