With a huge range of world famous visitor attractions, the Borough also has a rich food history, and its chefs and restaurateurs have done an incredible job of mixing the two together to create some incredibly quirky places to eat on the Causeway Coast.
From eating spaces that are tributes to our maritime heritage to spaces that are record holders, the Causeway Coast and Glens area has it all...
9. THE SAFEHOUSE, PORTRUSH
Have you ever enjoyed pizza and a cocktail inside a bank vault? No? Then you need to pay a visit to Portrush's Safehouse Cafe Bar. Situated in the stunning building which used to house the Northern Bank on Portrush's Main Street, the Safehouse is one of the most sensitively restored old buildings in the area. The interior pays homage to its former economic history while serving tasty treats and drinks. And, if you call in at just the right time, you might even catch a traditional Irish music session in full swing. Whenever you call, you can 'bank on' being impressed with this beautiful building!

10. THE COFFEE HUT, CASTLEROCK
This is one for the Castlerock locals...the gorgeous seaside cafe the Coffee Hut in the town is situated on the site of what was once a very well-known hairdressing salon - Jean's. The hub of the village for years, generations of Castlerock folk were taken to Jean's for a trim and a chat. Now on that site, you can enjoy the best roasts of coffee, tempting tray bakes and cakes, lunches and much much more at The Coffee Hut - well worth a visit next time you visit Castlerock.
