A Destination Where History Meets Modern Brasserie Cuisine!

meet Gary Stewart - Chef patron and producer

Modern Brasserie Food

Here at Tartine, we pride ourselves on the simplicity of our cooking style and the quality of the raw ingredients. The restaurant likes to ‘give the nod’ to Irish cuisine classics with superb Northern Irish seafood, beef, poultry, game and homegrown farm shop produce. Our mission is simple: serve delicious, affordable food that guests will want to return to week after week.

Great Vibes & personal service

True to its origins, you can enjoy an impressive range of drinks, cocktails and one of the finest wine lists in the area curated by Manager Paul Kane, reflecting his in-depth knowledge and passion.  Our new local drinks menu showcases the impressive range of drinks from across the province, some created just around the corner!

Stylish & Atmospheric Dining

The restaurant comprises of three beautifully appointed, interconnecting areas, each with a contemporary selection of local artists’ original paintings and prints. The lighting is low, the atmosphere is relaxing. The Distillers Arms was originally home to the Bushmills Distillery owners, retaining many of its original features.

Award-winning produce

Tartine’s own range of award winning sauces, made in small batches by Chef Patron Gary Stewart, is available to buy in the restaurant, online or out and about at markets. This lockdown project has grown beyond Gary’s expectations, with a growing number of products and an impressive number of awards.

Reviewed 2 August 2023 Excellent!!! Fantastic service - we were served by the amazing Cora - she really went out of her way to make sure we had an enjoyable meal! This is a really well run restaurant, top class food and lovely atmosphere. Have to book well in advance, difficult to get in, but it's worth it. Very reasonable, especially the early bird menu. Would love to make a return visit.
