I was with the family visiting the planetarium and during lunch we decided to call into Dante’s. This was a great choice, ok calling via the Main Street we nearly walked into the bar section as the eatery is located down near the basement, some spiral stairs near the end. Once in at the restaurant we were greeted with a friendly smile and warm welcome. I can say that the atmosphere is great as it looked like a tavern from a Lord of the Rings novel it was warm with stone floors and a fireplace that I guess is lit during autumn or winter time providing at cosy and warm vibe. Then we ordered a Chicken Caesar salad, Dante Club sandwich, for the kids sausage chips and Chicken Goujon and chips.
Asking a member of staff if there was a place to park, as I was a little pressed for time (parking on the main road you are limited to 1hr), the helpful and polite staff advised giving clear instructions about the car park at the rear of the restaurant, 5⭐️ for being informative and polite. The food came shortly after my return from parking, I would say total time about 20min to 25min this was lunch time.
The Caesar salad it was great good portion, had lots of chicken salad fresh no yellow bits, but what is good is the chicken it was moist not dry unlike some. My club sandwich wow that was a sandwich it was 3 layers and loaded see picture. The bread was soft, chicken tasted great The sauce was not overpowering the coleslaw side and salad complimented well with each other, the toasted bread was perfect and no burnt side etc it was toasted just right. This was a big sandwich the picture does not do it justice. The biggest test when it comes to food is if the kids love it, it is a pass and the kids loved their meals the chicken goujons and sausage chips that where served in little fryer baskets.
The staff is friendly and polite, would I eat here again? Yes definitely and you should try it out also.
PS. I was going to write this review at the start of July but with work just got held up, but yes it’s a great place would definitely go back again, when back in...
Read moreWell when your 4 year old requests a pizza party for his birthday in Dantes you know it's good!! We had a party of 15 for our son's birthday one of which has food restrictions which were catered for and the whole evening went without a hitch. Dante's is so child friendly that it made us adults feel even more relaxed. The food was absolutely amazing and we had a variety of pizzas, ribs, burgers, goujons and loaded fries. The chicken curry (curry in a hurry) pizza is a must try. Kids all received crayons to colour in their menus and we even made song requests for the birthday boy. Staff were so attentive and couldn't have done enough for us. To top it all off the birthday received a voucher for a free pizza on his next visit!! We know where we're going for the next birthday dinner although we won't even wait that long 😀 do not pass this pizza and burger without stopping in!! Thanks Dantes for making...
Read moreExcellent service and the food is great. I was intrigued by the Chicken Caesar pizza as i love the salad and it was delicious so give it a go if you want to try something different. The best pizzas bases are light, crispy and chewy. Dante's tick all the boxes and are very moreish. My husband tells me his burger was great with perfect chips. He ate the lot before I could try it, but my daughter said the BBQ sauce was the best ever. The kids scoffed their pizzas but we were too full to try dessert of sweet pizza. Unfortunately we are rarely in Armagh, but if we are, we'll definitely be back. Lucky you that can...
