Bangor, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

2022 Review: On the marina, an “interesting little restaurant” in the old harbourmaster's quarters that “lived up to expectations with great food and well thought-out wines by the glass” for one reporter this year; the “consistently good” victuals include tasting-menu options.

“I was able to eat Alex Greene’s GBM-winning Incredible Edible Book and it was just as delicious as it looked, topping off a great meal!” – Michael Deane’s flagship destination in the city-centre won nothing but praise for its ambitious and much-accoladed cuisine, with chef Alex offering an à la carte selection or menu surprise at quieter times, but with the main event being the £100 per head tasting menu. Eipic itself is on the top floor of a three-floor operation run by Deane, and you enter via the other spaces.

2021 Review: Solidly good marks last year for Niall and Joanne McKenna’s “understated and classy” venue, which last year incorporated its neighbouring ‘bar and grill’ and fine dining operations into a single more brasserie-style set-up, complete with cocktail bar: many of the dishes, including steaks, come from the charcoal grill.

2021 Review: Marty Murphy’s well-liked, industrially styled brasserie (est 2013, and recently revamped, adding to its appeal) may not gain any particular raves, but is a decidedly “decent” spot by all accounts – and, even on a “very busy Saturday night, it still produces good solid cooking”.
