Tartine at The Distillers Arms, Bushmills
A stone throw away is one of the best dining experiences in Northern Ireland.

Their cooking style should be described as modern brasserie with a selection of dishes and wines being found throughout their menus. The restaurant likes to 'give the nod' to Irish cuisine classics.
