Georgian House
Dating back to 1790, this landmark cream building overlooking Comber's town square has been transformed into one of NI's most elegant dining experiences. The sumptuous interior boasts antiques, chandeliers, feature fireplaces and plasterwork reflecting its bygone era. Beyond the al fresco courtyard dining option is a Victorian orchard whose white peaches, plums and apples are often incorporated into the cuisine. Breakfasts, bistro lunches and evening meals serve up homemade pastries, organic ingredients and locally-sourced foods, with the regularly changing menu offering everything from venison sausages to seared king scallops. With an equally stylish art gallery and gift shop upstairs, and a licence to host weddings, this Co. Down restaurant is an absolute gem. [...]
