The Artisan Cookhouse

Super food, in comfortable surroundings. Friendly service. We are looking forward to coming back again. What a great find in this picturesque village sitting beside Strangford lough.

We stopped before before going on the ferry and we were wowed! An extremely reasonably privt meal that was top quality. I would highly recommend to go. Service was top drawer and food was even better.

We had an amazing dining experience at the Artisan. We went on a Friday evening at 5.30pm and took advantage of the 2 for £22 offer. The main courses were delicious and the service was outstanding. A big thank you to the wonderful staff!

My friends and I recently had a wonderful meal at this restaurant. We shared a selection of starters, including delicious pork belly bites and tempura vegetables. The white lady cocktails were amazing. Overall, a fantastic spot for a meal with friends.

We had a two course meal consisting of the chicken sweet chilli starter, prawns, tempura cod and beef burger. Really plentiful and tasty. Nice presentation. Our only tip would be to let customers add their own salt to the chips please. Other than that, was perfection.

Visited one lunch time mid week we had the two dishes for £22 good selection on the menu absolutely lovely food well worth the price. Although empty when we first arrived people started coming in afterwards,staff were very pleasant well worth a visit. We will be back.

Well not much restaurants in Northern Ireland are able to serve some quality and refined food. But very happy with our experience there, and the staff even very young was very profesional. Will recomment, hopefully they will be able to keep the same level. Just one bemol but it's for all restaurants in NI, difficult to have a table after 8.00pm ...nightmare even the week end

I had lunch here during the week and found it to be very quiet. The menu was interesting with a good selection of specials. I opted for the £22 special for 2 courses, which I found to be good value compared to other meals I've had. The fish dish was excellent. The service was polite and attentive. However, I thought the wine list was average and uninspired, similar to other restaurants. It seemed like little thought was put into the quality of the cooking. Overall, I thought it was good value for money but would have enjoyed the experience more if the restaurant had been busier.

From the minute you walk through the door you just know it’s going to be good. Great buzz about the restaurant with happy diners. Menu isn’t huge but what it does have is some of the best locally sourced produce about. The mushroom, asparagus with truffle soup was simply delicious with their even better homemade baby Guinness wheaten bread. Korean pork belly bites were soooo good. Salmon mains didn’t disappoint and the surf and turf was delicately bursting with flavour. Drinks menu has got you covered no matter what your tiple is and the cocktails don’t come out of a machine like some other local establishments!! Keep up the great work and we look forward to coming back real soon….
