Barnish Cafe in Moyle

Excellent service and great food, lovely atmosphere with pleasant staff. Great choice of breakfast’s, lunches and teas, well worth a try

Best fry on the NORTH coast of Ireland! Great range of food, fast & efficient service & friendly staff! Highly recommended and only 1 mile out of Ballycastle, passed the golf club, then opposite Ballyvoy Church within the filling station complex Excellent value and quality!

The lady who runs this cafe is brilliant. Excellent breakfast, good choice and well cooked. She came out to chat to us and was so lovely. It is a real joy to find places like Barnish were you get good food and pleasant company. Thank you.

Stopped here for a few quick drinks. Was very friendly and the tea was lovely. Tray bakes and cakes look good ( as did the fry we saw being made), but too full from an earlier lunch to sample any. Definitely worth a stop. And you can sit out front on the picnic tables. Seems reasonably priced for everything too.

Quaint little tearoom hidden away at the back of a building. Food all freshly cooked and cakes to die for! Lovely homely atmosphere and staff exceptionally friendly.

I had the best tea ever, and the cutlery and cups were very nice. It wasn't packed but it should be!

My husband found this place on TripAdvisor. We live locally and we usually have a snack in Ballycastle but he decided to try this wee place. It was fantastic. The lady that served us was wonderful and chatted away to us like she has known us forever. She talked to our 10 year old daughter Anna and made her feel special. It was really like going to visit family. The food was amazing too. Anna enjoyed tea in a china cup and teapot and the coffee my husband and I had was beautiful. Thank you so much. We will be back!!!

Drive the extra couple of miles out of Ballycastle to Ballyvoy....you won’t regret it! Its not about views, just good home cooked food in a lovely clean tearoom, served by friendly staff. Enjoy.

It really is like going to your granny's for lunch. Myself, husband and 4 year old Lily were made more than welcome. The food was homemade and 5*. We couldn't resist the desserts, they were amazing. We will definitely be back. Thank Christine and her daughter for the great grub.

We stumbled across this cafe after visiting fair head. There was a sign outside saying "it's just like being at your grannys" and this couldn't have been more wrong! From the minute we entered we were welcomed by the lady who owned the cafe, who was the most delightful, helpful and friendly host! They had an amazing gluten free menu with so many options; I was totally spoilt for choice. The food was the best we had on our Northern Ireland trip. So comforting and filling, and such good value for money! We are sad we live so far away from this cafe so we can't visit more, but strongly recommend a visit to this place - it's totally worth it!

In viaggio lungo la costa dell'Irlanda del Nord ci siamo fermati in questo locale per caso, in verità eravamo in cerca di un bagno. Ma il posto è stupendo, uscito da un romanzo di Agatha Christie. Il servizio è operato quasi del tutto da una signora fantastica e gioviale. Tutto veramente buono, zuppe, piatti principali e i dolci... In 4 abbiamo speso 58€. Servizio non velocissimo ma sarà una bellissima esperienza!

We marked our aunt’s significant birthday with a celebratory afternoon tea in most relaxed and homely surroundings. Christine could not have done more to make this a real treat for all of us. The soup was delicious; homemade scones and cakes were fresh, tasty...and she assured us, calorie free! (Not sure I believe her though!!) And to top it all off, Christine produced a mint aero roulade, adorned with the obligatory candles. This was not my first visit to this hidden gem and it certainly will not be my last! Thank you again, Christine.

Open for breakfast, lunch and afternoon teas. All homemade meals and totally delicious desserts!! It is our favourite stop for lunch /brunch - very healthy options are available but the fry is just irresistable!!!!! Cannot recommend this place more highly

have been here for breakfast/lunch quite a few times and I could honestly recommend it. The lady that runs it is so friendly and welcoming, the food is amazing and very reasonably priced. There is a notice outside stating 'it is like coming to your granny's ' and it really is.

Wir hatten das kleine Cafe im Internet gefunden und sind dann hin, wegen der schönen Bilder und weil wir gerne eine traditionelle Teatime halten wollten. Eigentlich hätten wir was wir wollten vorbestellen müssen. Aber es war kein Problem. Herrlich unkompliziert wurde für uns, aus dem Handgelenk sozusagen, etwas improvisiert. Wir bekamen eine kleine Portion Soup of the Day, eine wundervolle Auswahl an Sandwiches und Süßem. Besonders erwähnen möchte ich hier die scones, bestrichen, mit hausgemachter Erdbeermarmelade und mit Sahne gestoppt. Das war kein Gebäck das war ein kleines Stück vom Himmel. Wenn man nicht den Anspruch hat in einer Schickimicki Umgebung zu überteuerten Preisen zu sitzen wird hier voll auf seine Kosten kommen. Die Einrichtung ist ein wenig aus einer vergangenen Zeit und ein wenig wild zusammengewürfelt was aber den ganz besonderen Charme ausmacht. Von Service kann man hier überhaupt nicht reden, weil die natürliche Herzlichkeit derInhaberin alles schlägt und das Wort Service einfach zu wenig wäre. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder und freuen uns heute schon darauf.

Delicious breakfast, homemade scones and tea allowed us to recharge our batteries on an all day tour of the Antrim coast. Gracious host made us feel at home and provided great travel tips as well. Highly recommended stop for a home cooked meal and warm hospitality.

Stop that this cafe on a day out . Owner was most helpful and very pleased. We had the best big fry we had in a long time and one was gluten free . So much choice for gluten free would highly recommend. Large pot of tea which was filled up again at no extra cost. Will most definitely be back

We were doing a walk along the coast and sa this little cafe and upon entering met this wonderful lady,Christine the manager.She made us feel we were in our grandparents home.We only wanted deserts and she presented the most AMAZING dishes,all had this wonderful custard.When leaving completely satisfied she presented my wife and sister a cross from Palm Sunday.Do not miss this place! The best!

Without a doubt this wee tearoom is one off the best in the country, if not the best, it says as you enter it's just like your granny's, the decor in the place is lovely, it takes me back 40+ years, staff are so friendly and have time for a friendly chat, the food is cooked from fresh, bread, cakes buns, is all homemade, if in the area please do yourself a favour, you wont regret it, ☆☆☆☆☆ all round, it's just a wee gem oh a place

Called here a few days ago as this place was recommended to us by friends and true to form this little cafe did not disappoint. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by Christine and promptly shown to our table.

A little gem of a tea room off the beaten track. Afternoon tea was delicious from start to finish. Everything was freshly homemade and served with old fashioned charm and service. We were made to feel welcome by Christine and the other staff and they were very friendly and accommodating. Excellent choice for vegetarian and gluten-free diets. Lots of delicious treats to eat and even a doggy bag to take home any uneaten buns! The scones, pancakes, Victoria sponge and boiled cake were to die for!! I would thoroughly recommend this little tearoom and we hope to make a return visit before long.

Lovely warm welcome from Christine. The nicest fry ever . Hot ,fresh ,tasty and nothing is too much bother. There is nothing nicer than tea in a china cup . If you are around the north coast this is a MUST.

Over to see family from Isle of Wight. Visited today for brunch .Decided to have a small fry. Best fry I have ever had. Fantastic quality ingredients great prices.Will be returning in September for another.

Many times I have driven by this place and I wish I had stopped. A hidden gem it certainly is. Freshly cooked food, home made desserts, home baking - and all at a reasonable price. Its a long time since I had good wholesome food. Most cafes nowadays serve frozen food pinged in a microwave or traybakes from a freezer and scones from a packet. You will not get that here.

A lovely old style café, very friendly staff, lovely choice of hot food and cake's. Well worth a visit when your passing

Went for late breakfast with the family and had a lovely time. The service was 10/10 and the server even refilled the tea pot when it ran out. All food was fresh and 'granny' coffee was lovely! Would definitely recommend and would go again.

We were out for a drive and found the Barnish Cafe, a great little place for a scone and tea break. The scones were fresh out of the oven and the homemade raspberry jam was second to none. Stop here for a break or a meal, you won't be disappointed.

Traditional Irish tearoom with pictures and memorabilia on the walls. Owner operated so you get the personal touch. Home baking done on premises and Ulster Frys cooked to order.

We stopped in after a great sunny walk on the cliffs. It had started raining and this place had been recommended to us by Berkeley at our B&B.; We weren’t disappointed. The owner was very pleasant and quite proud that her daughter did all the baking on site. Two of us had scones, freshly whipped cream, and jam. Delicious. Another had a delicious Bakewell tart that was out of this world. Cute place.

"Like your Granny's" ... I loved both my Granny's to bits , so I loved this place ! Does what it said on the tin - great fry , plentiful supply of tea , nice , relaxing surroundings and Christine is a gem of a hostess . Oh , and the service was great as well ! Couldn't recommend it highly enough - 5 Stars !

Excellent food and the most lovely welcome. Well worth a visit and great value for money if you a traveling on the causeway coastal route

A lovely old fashioned café, good service, great selection of cakes. Food prepared for you while you wait. Recommended

Visited this lovely tea room and cafe for an Ulster fry with friends. Such a friendly welcome and food was delicious-had the big breakfast which kept me going until the evening. Christine (the owner) could not have done more to make our visit great. Will definitely be back!

I asked this question and was told, 'you could try the Ulster Fry and Apple Pie' - we spotted a place with the strap-line, 'just like your granny's' and despite the uninspiring forecourt decided to give it a go. As one of our party was a large dog, we made use of the table outside. The food was first class - freshly cook, generous portions, friendly service.

Had been recommended this cafe several times, so today we had the EXPERIENCE! And what an excellent little place for a nice lunch. We were running late as regards proper lunch but hubby and l had best fry ups in yrs. what can one say abt Christine? A delightful lady, genuine, no airs and graces and so kindly. We were given wheaten bread to bring bk to caravan to sample her baking. We SURE will be back soon. Didn’t apply to us but lots of gf and vegetarian items on menu. Get there and sample. Wdnt let me rate for some reason (computer) but 5’s for food, service and value. Wd give 10 if had the chance

Good food and friendly staff. Very traditional with jacket potatoes, not mash. Very competitively priced. Will visit again soon.

stop in to fill up the car and saw a cafe in at the back of shop it could be easily missed but the food was first class loved the fry up one of the best i have actually had and it does take a lot to impress me great wee place will definitely be back

I have just been for Sunday lunch at Christine’s cafe. The menu has a wide selection of home style freshly prepared food, including great vegetarian options. The place was hopping busy today but the girls were on the ball and the service was really efficient. I would highly recommend. Definitely give them a ring to book ahead for Sunday lunch to make sure you don’t miss out!

Called in for lunch , we were not disappointed! This is a lovely little cafe with a really homely feel . There is an old fashioned dresser full of china which just adds to its charm and if you order tea you can get it in a proper china cup and saucer! Christine is a lovely lady and nothing is too much trouble for her . The food is delicious and all freshly prepared . If you are visiting the North Coast you should definitely visit this cafe!

We have just had lunch today at the Barnish Cafe and Tea Room. It is a charming cafe, signs outside say that it is just like being at your Granny's house - and it is. Beautiful china for your tea, served with the warmth and smile of Christine. The food is delicious, every meal prepared fresh by Chef Emma. These caterers also provide food for events and parties. A hidden gem - go and have a treat. Tip: if you would like Sunday lunch good to book in advance. They are closed on Wednesdays.

We visited this cafe having read the glowing reviews. Were it not for the fact that we were long overdue something to eat, I doubt if we would have stayed. The outside was a depressingly true reflection of the building's past - a long abandoned filling station.

This place must not be missed! We found it quite by chance and the parking area in front of the cafe was full. About 100 yards (metres) along the road is a car park that had plenty of space for out Motorhome. A brisk walk back and we entered the world of a bygone era! Ignore the hairdressers and the post office counter and pass right to the back of the premises to find the quaintest cafe imaginable and the most charming lady as “front of house”. There is a large variety of food available and everything is cooked to order and very fresh.... not a fast food outlet but enjoy the ambience whilst waiting for your grub. I can recommend the delicious chips but all tastes catered for including a massive Sunday lunch. We brought a boiled fruit cake away with us that is delicious and may have to pop back for some more! If passing, do drop in, or plan a stop here... you will not be disappointed! Thank you for a wonderful experience and helpful advice

I think this is best cafe on the North Coast. The food is amazing no matter what you order . The menu gives you so much choice and caters for everyone , vegetarian, gluten free etc. The delicious food is all made fresh and the homemade wheaten bread is the best ever!! Christine is a lovely lady and nothing is too much trouble for her and her staff . I just love this cafe!

I have never met such a generous woman. My nephew and I stopped while driving the roads of Ireland. Christine's brown bread is to die for, not crumbly at all. She is friendy, communicative, will to share what she knows, and willing to listen. Eating here is an experience, not a quick stop!

When out on the bikes we always call in. Christine greets us with a smile. Great service and great food. We can't go past it.

We drove by very easily. Because we were a bit hungry we found out about the good reviews on tripadvisor, and drove back. You can miss it easily. This little restaurant is located in a building that once was used as gass station. The location inside is very nicely decorated and creates a nice atmosphere, the food is sooo good (all home made) and the desert perfect! The lemon merengue is the best we ever had!

We happened to come upon this lovely cafe while exploring Ireland’s Northern coastline. The owner, Christine, took the time to recommend and write down the “must see” places to visit while in the area. She is a lovely as the food she creates. I couldn’t recommend enough!

Went for a lunch and arrived too early for the daily special so we picked the breakfast and a wrap. All food is freshly cooked and the staff are excellent; friendly and welcoming. The food was lovely. Don't be put off by the decor, the limited menu and the strange location; well worth a visit. It might look like a disused petrol forecourt, but do go in!

Had the nicest early lunch here today, was delighted to have my first gluten-free lasagne (I haven't been able to have it in years as now gf), I had it with salad and chips, and tea topped up many times!

If you're happy to wait for freshly cooked food this welcoming cafe offers a great home cooked selection (delicious full breakfast & heavenly pancakes) and tremendously good value. Coeliacs will especially enjoy the choices :)

This is a great place to eat. Christine and her staff are extremely friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble . The food is delicious and freshly made. I cannot recommend this place enough , it's the best cafe in the whole area. :):)

I was celebrating my friend's birthday. Which was very enjoyable and memorable both for the good company, the criac, the choice and quality of food. The hospitality provided by Christine and her staff was excellent. Rita

What a lovely café! Tucked away on a main road out of Ballycastle. You wouldn't know it was there! The food is yummy and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. It was so good, we went back the next day! Try the pancake stack!

Breakfast served at Barnish is made with the same degree of care and attention as a home cooked meal. The food is so crispy & tasty...don't miss it. With a homely atmosphere & super friendly staff, you can't go wrong!

Sería tan fácil de conducir este pequeño café que está detrás de una gasolinera y peluquería en la carretera de Cushendall en las afueras de Ballycastle. Pero no, porque está bien valen la pena! Usted se encontrará con una cálida bienvenida y una amplia variedad de comida recién preparada de agua caliente y fría. Sólo tuvimos sándwiches, pero los otros platos deliciosos, especialmente la casa sonaba postres caseros.

Cafetería familiar sirve bollos caseros de madrugada y tartas con excelentes platos especiales del día y hacen un órdago fry.

My Mum and I called in for Sunday lunch having been encouraged to by a friend ....... how glad we were ....... such a lovely place where a warm welcome and delicious home- cooked food greeted us. Christine is such a wonderful host - she made us so welcome and this in itself meant so much to my Mum - she had time to chat although busy, but had a word for everyone. Beautiful china and spotless 'country ' surroundings added to a delightful lunch experience ....... we will definitely return ....hopefully many times to this Ballyvoy 'gem'.

This is one of the best small cafes i have ever had the pleasure to eat in. It is run by Christine who is everyone's "favourite granny.." All her food is cooked fresh daily and the menu is both extensive and suitable for all ages and "digestions." She will take your order with a very very friendly approach and will recommend what are the good dishes of the day. she has a full knowledge of her dishes ingredients and will tailor anything to suit a diners particular needs such as gluten free, celiac etc. As for her home made desserts WOW. They are the old fashioned desserts which you grew up with, simple but very tasty and i mean that as a compliment. It is so easy to forget the simple things food wise these days and it is such a delight to get such desserts as Bakewell tarts served with proper home made custard. This is a gem of a cafe and very well worth a visit

We always make sure to fit in a trip to Barnish Coffee House for breakfast/brunch/lunch with family when we are home visiting from Toronto. Christine and her staff do an amazing job preparing freshly cooked delicious food in cosy and welcoming surroundings.I am particularly looking forward to a bubbly afternoon tea (bring your own alcohol) on my next visit this summer! Keep up the great work ladies!

We were travelling up the coastal route to The Giants Causeway when my body said stop for food. We came across this small coffee house. Well it's a stop, and they should have tea.When we got inside we met a lovely lady who greeted us and took our order.I had the works (full Irish) can't say full English when you are in Ireland with Tea, My wife had Toast and preserves with tea.What a lovely Freshly Cooked breakfast it was, with nice sausage (most important) and bacon along with all the other normal breakfast items.The tea was a really nice and plentiful, the good lady topped the pot up after I had finished it. Ended up I had 6 cups of tea.The good Lady asked where we came from and were we there for a holiday.She then gave us so many places we could visit that were not on our list, hence the six cups of tea.A delightful visit to a lovely friendly Coffee House. Well worth a visit

Home cooked, genuine and out of this world! They make everything themselves and will rival anyone's grandmother's home cooked food. Highly recommend!

Family friendly cafe with moreish food and welcoming staff. We felt at home in its relaxed atmosphere. Will be heading back the next time we are up the north coast.

Coming from Skandinavia we very much enjoyed the special atmosphere, the pancakes with bacon, eggs and syrup and though we were satisfied we could not resist scones with jam and cream. It made our day. Thank you Christine.

What a great wee place, it is just like visiting you granny's house. Lovely olde worlde atmosphere . Very welcoming hostess in Christine and beautiful beautiful home cooking. Scrumptious desserts all home made, chocolate orange cake with chocolate/orange sauce is to die for. I am so glad to have found this place and will definitely be back ,again and again

Grazioso locale, sembra di stare nella sala da pranzo di casa con cucina a vista, ottimo cibo a buon prezzo. Vi ho mangiato le più buone patate della mia vita!! Accogliente e pulitissimo. Se passate da quelle parti conviene fermarsi anche per un dessert con caffe

Simply in the area on a Sunday morning and fell upon this place ! Absolutely fantastic ! Great food and brilliant staff. Pity I don't live closer to it or I would become a regular ! *The Portions are partially good !!!!!

Great place to go if you just want tea or coffee, but also great for meals. The lady that runs this establishment is a very friendly lady.

We had a wonderful tea this afternoon at The Tea Room: Barnish Cafe in Ballycastle, NI. So if you are ever visiting along the North Coast in Northern Ireland, check this place out. 95 Cushendall Road. Christine and her staff are great: homemade scones, soup, pies and treats.

We called at this lovely coffee house. The food was amazing and the staff were wonderful and so friendly.Will be back

After a heavy night was great to get an amazing fry breakfast. Very good value for money. The customer service was second to none with friendly servers

just returned from ballycastle we had taken the coast route from Belfast what a great find was this .Owner is a wee (small ) gem food was perfect,service top notch. CHRISTINE the owner takes pride in what her staff and herself do, spotless, great fun, perfect .(don't rib her to much she told me she is the one who serves the food ???????) we used the tea room more than once got the same service each time....Jamie&trace Scotland

This place is a hidden gem. You could easily miss it if you didn't know it was there! Opposite the Catholic chapel in Ballyvoy,through the empty shop at the front, and in to the warmth and welcome waiting for you inside. We were a large family group including small children, and nothing was too much trouble for the lovely ladies who run the establishment. One of our party is coeliac, which some places find difficult to accommodate Not here! Not only were they familiar with all the restrictions of the diet, but they offered plenty of choices, and many of their delicious puddings were gluten free. The food was fantastic, the service excellent and the welcome outstanding. We will be back!

I travel all over the province and this is definitely the best place to eat on the North Coast ! The food is absolutely delicious no matter what you order and the service you get from Christine and her staff is first class. All the food is 'homemade' and their wheaten and soda breads are absolutely fabulous. If you are travelling to the North Coast this cafe is the place to go!! It's simply the best!

Aaah we had a great time. Sunday lunch with 6 adults, 1 toddler, and a baby. The staff were fantastic with the kids, they had a ball, and the food was delicious. There had obviously been time spent cooking the meat, it was beautiful, and the puddings were to die for - proper puds - rhubarb crumble, lemon meringue pie, trifle, sticky toffee etc...They also served my children anything they asked for, and provided a bowl of ice cream and raspberries for the toy monkey! They were great, and we had a lovely relaxed afternoon with lots of laughs. If you are visiting Ballycastle, you need to book this in for a Sunday!Thanks ladies, you were one of the highlights of our trip :) Bye bye chicken! xxx

Small cafe behind a shop in a disused petrol station. Limited menu with really pleasant service. The food took a while to arrive as it is freshly prepared and tasty; the chips were particularly yummy. Traditional cafe with modest surroundings. Well worth a visit: excellent food at a good price.

called into this cafe for quick lunch on our way through to ballycastle and then onto coleraine. the food was excellent although very busy and had to wait as everythingis cooked to order. we nearly passed this cafe and really very very glad we didnt would definitely revisit next time we in area. staff were very friendly and couldnt do enough for us

Authentic and traditional café with old fashioned feel ! Furnishing and fittings are traditional including the table cloths. This is really a hidden gem, with quality local food offering and excellent warm hospitality. The home made soup was fresh & delicious, best I've had in along time and warm wheaten bread to die for. Christine is such a great host, friendly, reliable and great with customers. Will definitely be back for a light lunch !

Called in to Barnish Cafe for a quick bite. Everything is fresh and cooked to order, the food is delicious and lovely staff, just like eating in your granny's kitchen!

We stopped today purely by chance- my youngest had a bout of car sickness, and we had pulled in before realising there was a cafe.I sadly didn't catch the lady who helped me sort out my daughter- but thank you. You didn't have to help us, but you did.As we were already there, we decided to stop for lunch. A full fry and spicy carrot soup, with the children having potatoes- and half of our food. Nobody will ever leave there hungry. Portion sizes are very generous, and the food is fresh and tasty. The fry was the best looking I have seen in a long time, and soup was amazing.We will be back. We spotted others eating desserts as we were leaving- they looked delicious!

We stopped by on our way back to Belfast via the Causeway Coastline after a visit to The Giant's Causeway on Easter Monday.Don't be put off by the entrance which is through a vacant shop or the filling station which is not what you always look for when finding an eatery.We had a fabulous meal, my full fry complete with soda (fried) bread and potato bread was one of the best I've had my elder son thought it the very best he's had. My wife's and younger son's panini's were just the job. Everything is prepared from scratch which naturally means service is of a relaxed tempo which suited us, but if you're in a rush bear this in mind.The welcome was also terrific. When we arrived (14:00) we were the only diners but the place was nearly full when we left.Would stop by again were we passing. Enjoy!

My husband, my mother who is in a wheel chair and I stopped here for brunch. The place is very quaint. Christine was so friendly and helpful making sure my mum was comfortable at the table. Food was really tasty and portion sizes were very good. We finished our brunch with lovely homemade shortbread. They also sell lots of home baking which seems to be very popular. On leaving, Christine also provided me with a bowl of water to take out to our dogs. Will definitely be back to this lovely little cafe.

We came here today after a long drive from Dublin to join my extended family of 8 to celebrate my Dad's recent birthday. Our order was taken quickly and before we knew it our food had arrived, freshly cooked, hot, mouthwatering...I've eaten in many places for brunch before but have never experienced a cafe as relaxed as this. There is a really interesting menu of choices for breakfast/brunch & lunch, from a simple bacon bap to an amazing pancake stack with bacon, drizzled with maple syrup (my kids loved these!) Even my toddler was very well looked after and sensed the relaxed atmosphere which the hosts Emma and Christine provided. The lunch menu is equally varied and well priced. No sense of being rushed at this cafe either. It's a great pitstop on the north coast tourist route, with plenty of free parking outside. We left feeling like we had received a nourishing brunch and a very warm relaxed welcome to the area. We will definitely come again & I will be recommending this cafe to friends who are visiting the Ballycastle/north antrim area.

Christine is the perfect hostess. Nothing is to much trouble for her and she always has a smile on her face. She makes our visits so enjoyable and the food is 5 star. Absolutely no complaints about anything.

This is a wonderful place - Christine was so welcoming and couldn't do enough for us - really outstanding service. The food is cooked by Christine and her daughter - all freshly made on the premises and just delicious. We couldn't recommend Barnish Coffee House highly enough and will definitely make this our go-to place in Ballycastle.

We went here for brunch. Decided on it as it is top of the list for Ballycastle. Christine makes you feel so welcome then you get the food. What can i say other than my taste buds and stomach were in heaven. Definitely recommend calling in to Christine for a fry if visiting Ballycastle as you'll not get a better one anywhere else. Will definitely be back. Thanks Christine

Visited Christine for breakfast at Barnish with a couple of friends over the weekend whilst on a trip to Ballycastle.What more can I say that hasn't already been said by previous reviewers. Superb food cooked with the freshest of locally sourced ingredients, served up by a lovely Mother and Daughter team.Your top spot on Trip Advisor is well deserved.See you next year Christine, oh and now I know what time you fire up on a Sunday morning, I won't be ringing you and getting you out of your bed!!!!Mal, Ron, Bev & Geoff The Preston Gang

The best thing about Barnish is the warm friendly welcome by Christine..We had an excellent Ulster Fry ...there were 13 of us and it was no trouble to her. Children made most welcome .We retuned for lunch and had lovely sandwich very fairly priced

Called in this afternoon for a quick cuppa after lovely drive through the glens. We were welcomed like old friends and had great natter with Christine. The food was as delicious as ever...We had home made apple tart with our cuppa and it was bursting with fruit...yummy!

Every time we visit the Barnish Cafe we are greeted with a very warm welcome. The cafe has a family atmosphere and children are made very welcome. All the food is cooked to order and nothing seems too much trouble for the attentive staff. We have enjoyed paninis, chicken coujons, sausage, beans and chips to name but a few - the homemade fries look amazing and one that I hope to taste on our next trip up. The scones and tray bakes are pretty good too. Should not be missed on a visit to the North Antrim Caost.

Coming back from Garrick a reed rope bridgeFound this place we were peckishHad sandwiches, homemade soup, very tasty grub fantastic. Very helpful highly recommend.Definitely a great place to stop

We were on the family trip and accidentally found this nice cafe, and was a big surprise with very friendly staff, tasty food, and lovely place. Highly recommend this place for breakfast and lunch!

This is a great wee spot just outside ballycastle. Nice to stop into on the way to cushendall or if you are heading up the glens anywhere.Great scones!!!

We dropped in here having toured round the Ballycastle area. Surprisingly few eateries out of towns and we were welcomed in to a busy bar/restaurant. Our hostess was diligent in helping us choose from the menu and the food was excellent. Well recommended as Hunters Bar.

So glad we decided to stop at this homely wee place. Tea served in china cups, knitted tea cosy, interesting cute objects and wee books around the place all make for a lovely atmosphere.I had home-made soup and the most delicous home baked wheaten bread then we had scones with jam and cream and I have to say they were the best scones we've ever had, tasty and so light The owner is a lovely, friendly lady and the young waitresss was very nice too. If you are in the area I definitely recommend popping in. If we are ever up that way again we most certainly will

Stopped in based on TripAdvisor reviews, and we were not disappointed. Easy to find -- just outside of Ballycastle in Ballyvoy. Food was traditionally Irish and excellent -- I had the breakfast, and my mum had chicken on the bone with lovely veg and mash. Service was also very good, and the prices were reasonable. We enjoyed chatting with Christine.

Good food, great value, friendly staff - what more could you ask for? The Barnish has it all and more. Located in the peaceful little village of Ballyvoy, just a couple of miles out of Ballycastle, it is the perfect "get away from it all" location to enjoy great cooking and hospitality. Definitely worth travelling the extra few miles for! You won't be disappointed.

Stopped for something to eat after visiting Ballycastle on the Cushendall road, Barnish Cafe, a lovely warm, modern yet homely cafe through the back of the shop at the garage. Plenty of parking space outside and nearby. The food was fresh and delicious, we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, homemade bread, soup, pasta, salads, spicy chicken etc. Staff friendly and helpful, the cafe is bright and tastefully decorated, also spotlessly clean. Will definitely be back!

I come here everytime i'm in the area (climbing at Fair Head). The malteser cheesecake is outrageous and the Ulster fry up excellent. Everything about the Barnish is fantastic, except the opening hours which should be a lot longer so we can turn up more often. A seriously great place, well done everyone!

In the land of Breakfast Fry-Ups, Barnish Cafe, and it's near neighbour Hunter's Bar are outstanding. It's so unfair to have my loyalties tested like this every time I fancy a breakfast out. Christine is the perfect hostess with a computer like memory for your preferences, we visited yesterday i.e. myself sister and brother in-law, maybe 2 months since our last visit and she remembered my sister liked 2 shots of coffee in her latte, and had recommended she should try the Gingerbread syrup for the latte. It was there and available that morning. Harry commented on the fact that his teacup was pre-warmed and the generous pot of tea was kept warm with a cute handknitted teacosy! And as for the bacon, heaven cooked to perfection, best I've eaten out in years. If I can drop just a wee hint...........while I enjoy black pudding, I prefer the white! Breakfast wise everything is cooked to order, nothing pre-cooked so if it's busy you'll just have to be patient, but well worth the wait.

This is one of the best places to eat in the north! You can't go wrong, order anything from the menu , it's all delicious. I eat in it often and I honestly think it gets better every time I go!
