Harden's survey result
Summary
Pearson Morris and Saul McConnell’s modern first-floor venue with daily specials up on the blackboard has become one of Northern Ireland’s best-known destinations and continues to win strong support in feedback (and in the foodie press): “we love this stylish bistrot – quintessential French food is served with a smile and charm. Looking forward to seeing the new downstairs addition!” (a bar with wine and small plates).
Summary
“Ticking all the boxes, with modern but unpretentious food of fine quality in decent portion sizes” – including “some top seafood”. It’s a “small, intimate” place with a “buzzy atmosphere and friendly service” from ‘butler’ Saul McConnell and “fantastic quality food” from cook Pearson Morris. “I stumbled on it by chance, but will return for sure!”
Summary
“An amazing local eatery where you can always guarantee to find awesome local food cooked to perfection, and exceptional front of house staff” – so say fans of Pearson Morris and Saul McConnel’s small modern bistro above the Iona health food store.

Noble Restaurant Diner Reviews
"A noise level sufficient to deter climate activists acclimatised to decibel levels while glued to airport runways. Suitable for solitary diners and misanthropes. A shame, as we took friends. Food is average bistro."
