A short Irish gourmet stopover......


On your way from Carrickfergus driving along the side of Belfast Lough you will soon drive through Newtownabbey. If you have time, look out on the right hand side of the road and you will see a restaurant called the Bureau. Here I can vouch that the food is truely magnificent be it for lunch or dinner in the evenng. The upstairs restaurant requires advance booking and you can sit and look out over Belfast Lough. I would describe the menu as fusion but with a Northern Irish touch. Food is not expensive considering the quality and they have a large range of excellent wines. Be careful as weekends are particularly busy but I promise a meal you will not forget.
Following this stop contine along the shore road to the M5 and the motorway for Belfast City centre which can be reached in about 15 minutes from the resturant. Tomorrow? We spend the entire day in Belfast with a mixture of things to do - depending on the weather, of course!
