We love the wee snugs, the whitewashed walls and the darktimbers. The traditional 17th century building might take youback in time, but the food is bang up to date.Their style is Irish with an international twist. One of the mostpopular dishes on the menu is as local as it can get; pan-fried filletof beef flamed with the famous whiskey which gives the Inn andthe village its name.The Dalriada Cullen skink is a reminder of the area’s strong linkswith Scotland, but there are plenty of tastes of home too, like theRathlin Island scallops and the Kilhorne Bay crab macaroni.Desserts are sinfully rich and irresistible. It would be rude not totry their sticky toffee pudding with fresh cream. Just make sureyou take a walk on the beach afterwards. Then come back to amalt whisky in the bar which is still lit by gaslight.They’ve even got a private cinema! It doesn’t get much betterthan this.££Get there: 9 Dunluce Road, Bushmills, Co. Antrim.
