bistro at the Courthouse

Had a delicious meal here before heading to The Giant’s Causeway for sunset. Tucked away off the main strip it was quiet and private. Fries were a bit soggy but couldn’t fault the mains - fresh ingredients, punchy flavours.

Best meal we’ve had on the north coast. We had a number of tapas for starter, braised beef for main and the pecan pie for dessert. Service was excellent & super friendly, restaurant itself is lovely with a great ambience / great music. Will definitely be back!

Great food. We were sat right near the toilet and kitchen, which wasn’t ideal but a busy place. It’s nice to shop around at the independent stores at the court house and then stop for some lunch.

Called day of no problem! Others must be booked way in advance, what happened to spontaneous. Our table had such a view! Lovely The food was top notch! The cauliflower was just the right amount of spicy! We were not rushed to leave so we enjoyed our company and everyone had a special time together. Thank you to Ocho Tapas!

The Bistro is a little gem in Bushmills. Food, service, ambience cannot be faulted and the fact it is dog friendly is definitely an added bonus. Now that our weather has improved there is the opportunity to choose a table outdoors. The menu choice places a heavy emphasis on local produce and with being vegetarian there is a range of tasty options. The vegetarian fry is absolutely delicious. Also if it’s just coffee and a catch up with friends I thoroughly recommend the Bistro. The home baked goods are a feast for the eye never mind the tummy. Don’t ever doubt your decision to choose this cafe in the beautiful newly restored courthouse building in Bushmills.

Why did I not know this place has been around for years! We'll worthy of the multiple awards for the delicious food. Came for the early bird menu which was amazing value for three tapas. Equally impressed by the kids menu that was a welcome change to the norm. Fish went down very well. Portions are spot on for size, could probably have done without dessert but was very tasty. Lovely evening out in Portrush.

Caters well for gluten allergies. The menu is quite extensive and tasty. Goggle maps gave bad directions but watch the road for the turn-off. Beautiful scenery and excellent staff

Every time we go to the North Coast we have to visit this fabulous tapas spot. The prices are very reasonable, the service excellent and the food is sublime. It has a family-run feel and something about it makes me want to support it as a cause to be championed in an area dominated by larger groups of restaurants. Give it a visit, you won’t be disappointed - Sangria for lunch in Portrush - what could be wrong with that?
