LUNA - Carrickfergus

5 Stars – Flavour on a Mission

Visited Luna and was genuinely blown away. My wife had the Katsu Chicken Burger, and the chef's secret spice blend didn’t just show up—it showed off. She said it was packed with flavour in every bite.

I had the Wagyu Burger, and honestly, the reduced jam was unreal. But the real headline? The chips. Layers of thin-sliced potato, seasoned with sea salt and herbs, soaked and fried to perfection. I’ve never had chips like that—easily the best I’ve ever tasted.

Cocktails? Had two. The Buckfast Pornstar Martini—wrong on paper, absolutely right in the glass. Followed that with the Mr French, which was all kinds of smooth and punchy.

The place itself has a vibe, and you can tell it’s run by someone who cares. Neil’s the chef and owner, and it shows in every detail. Everything’s made from scratch and done properly buy him and the whole team, Service was spot-on too—friendly, relaxed, and on the ball....with some crack on the side.

Highly recommend Luna if you’re into food that’s got thought, flavour, and some serious heart behind it.

Cafe Luna is an absolutely brilliant restaurant. Neil and the team are fantastic - some of the best and most knowledgeable service you’ll get. Sit back, relax and let them help you decide what to eat and allow them to pair it with brilliant wines, cocktails, beers and more.

My wife and I have been many times and the food is always of the highest standard.

We absolutely love the place and are made to feel very special when we go there. A restaurant that Carrick is lucky to have, a great addition to the town centre and one that deserves to be supported.

We really enjoyed our meal. We ordered the Prime cut to share, crispy wings with bbq sauce and toffee and banana bread for desert. It was the best steak we’ve ever had! Highly recommended

5 round the world cocktails with tapas and music incredible flavours, 6 tapas then 3 sweet. Each cocktail explained and service quick, efficient and friendly. Great guitarist too. Great value and way better even than I expected. Would do this again and definitely recommend you try this super restaurant, may be small in size but big on taste

A new establishment in Carrickfergus. Very friendly service and BYO. Went for dinner and enjoyed cheese Bon Bons, Chicken Kiev and Sticky Toffee Banana Cake. Stuffed to the gills and the quality was excellent. Really fresh looking place in its decor. I wish it all the best and will definitely return.

Ate here last Saturday for the 2nd time and the food was again very good. I opted for the mixed seafood special which was perfectly cooked, no shortage of seafood and very tasty.

The gentleman serving the table (I’m not sure if he’s the owner) was friendly and had good knowledge, recommending a decent white to an accompany the fish.

Luna is a great addition to Carrick and I note they are now offering an £8 lunch, which of course I’ll have to try!

First time in Luna and definitely will go back! Food was really top class! Service was very good, we weren't rushed or anything, very respectful, ambiance , decor and atmosphere of the place is great for all ages! A bit tight in places but packed a lot in! Highly recommend the bread with curried butter for starter, it was something different, the price is reasonable for the taste and quality of the food! ££ Average for food and drink!

Excellent meal with the family last night, between the 6 of us we had a selection of everything and it was all lovely. Good luck to this new venture and hope to visit again soon!!!
