My first experience of their quality produce was in a dessert at Bourbon in Belfast, and the ice cream was so good that I HAD to go look it up to keep my taste buds satisfied! They make everything on their own farm and are proud to say that they make everything themselves on the farm with lovingly cared for Jersey Cows! Gone are the days when ice cream was just a poorly frozen block of Vanilla. The flavours here are inventive and delicious. Want some Panna Cotta and Raspberry Pavalova ice Cream? Check. Feel like some chocolate honeycomb crunch? No problem! And the delicious flavours just keep going. It can be hard to find but the largest Supermarkets do sell it! If your local shop doesn't stock it nag them to get it because it really is worth it. I can't even sign off with an obligatory pun because the best one is in their name!For the pun alone I salute them!

Kids working are all nice and its right on the water so I guess in summer its ideal if that's what your into. Lines can be dreadfully long.

It also offers sweet crepes (£4) and waffles. So I got one with ham, onion and egg and my wife opted for ham and onion. We also ordered a flat white and a cappuccino at £2.4 each. The coffees were very good too so no downsides on food, food quality, food portions, temperature and great service. It Audi has soups, toasties, sandwiches and panini. I paid on ordering which meant when we were done we could just up and go. This place has only one downside, it's a small, and narrow place inside with only two tables, with most seating on stools. It's also an ice cream parlour and a sweet shop. There's a large choice of ice cream cones to choose from too. The ice cream is Morelli's, which I can't say I've ever had, and the vivid colours put me off - they have to be artificial. They did have a pooh bear equivalent (I'm a Mauds pooh bear honeycomb fan) but really I couldn't get beyond that blue colouring.

However, even though there were only a couple of tables taken when I called in during early afternoon on Tuesday 29/08/2017, unfortunately service was slow and I stood at the till for a good five minutes before anyone came to assist me. I ordered a tub filled with three ice cream scoops; baileys, honeycomb and kinder bueno. My friend ordered coffee, baileys and kinder bueno flavour. We took a table, which was sticky, covered in crumbs and needed a good clean - it was yuck. A pity about the slow service and unkempt state of this place because the ice cream is really gorgeous and visually it's actually a very nice little cafe.

Our Dinner at the Catalina Restaurant was absolute perfection and flawless in every way and we are…read moreso glad we dined here. What a treat! The flavors of each dish were delightfully balanced, and we enjoyed a relaxing meal. What a delight it was to dine at the restaurant headed by Noel McMeel, one of Ireland's top chefs, who is also the Executive Chef at the Lough Erne Hotel and Resort in Northern Ireland where the Catalina Restaurant is located. We actually added this Northern Ireland journey to our itinerary just to meet the Chef and taste some of his creations, so this was a much anticipated dining experience. I almost did not make it downstairs to the restaurant for our late evening reservation. We had a long day of sightseeing and I was a bit car sick from my husbands race car driving through the windy roads of the day tours. I am so glad I pulled myself together and down to dinner because it was our most enjoyable meal during our entire trip to Ireland and after tasting the first course I quickly settled in with an appetite for more. We ordered off of the prix fixe menu, so we could enjoy 2-3 courses. Since I wasn't in the mood for anything too heavy or meat forward I ordered off of the Vegetarian Menu which proved to be an excellent choice. We started with the softest and tastiest Irish soda bread you could ever imagine putting into your mouth, what a pleasant surprise. This is what I was hoping to taste from Chef McMeel, some of those pantry staples from recipes in his book, many recipes handed down from generations in his family...I have to bake using this recipe some day. The bread was not like the dense Irish Soda bread you find in the States, it was a heavier weighted than a typical slice of white bread, but slightly sweet, an ever so soft light and airy bread. We were also offered treacle bread, also slightly sweeter than the Irish soda bread and delightfully soft. Curry bread which was my least favorite of the three, the curry flavor was unusual and not sure I loved it. The bread paired well with local butter, rapseed oil, and course salt, this was a lovely way to wake up our palate. For our starting course we ordered: Mushroom Ravioli: 5 stars does not do this justice. The ravioli which had a delicate pasta wrapped around perfectly cooked and seasoned mushrooms was enveloped in a reduction that had such incredible depth of flavor...we found out later from the Chef that the mushroom reduction takes 6.5 hours to prepare! Crab and fennel Salad 4.5 stars my husband enjoyed this but secretly I think he enjoyed the bite of my ravioli more Our dinner courses were also lovely, my husband loved his filet of beef 5 stars My husband thoroughly enjoyed his filet, the reduction, and vegetables Vegetarian Pithivier 5 stars: the puff pastry dough was light and airy, not heavy or greasy in the least, the vegetables melted in my mouth, this was a pure joy to eat. We ended our meal with a final taste bud surprise: Raspberry Souffle 5 stars I've never had a raspberry souffle, this was dreamy and everything a souffle should be, served with a custard and ice cream, it was the perfect dessert to end our meal. And I almost forgot...out came a final dessert plate of house made chocolates, marshmallows and delicate soft fruit candies :) What a lovely way to spend our final evening at the Lough Erne resort. Thank you Chef McMeel for the culinary inspiration and dedication to deliver warm hospitality and an outstanding dining experience while in Ireland! The love and the passion for what you do is clearly evident and we were so grateful to experience your hospitality while at the Lough Erne.
