Nemesis at The Marcus
Website HERE
On Main Street in Portrush, the newly opened Marcus Hotel, part of the Tapestry Collection by Hilton, is home to a beautiful new restaurant, Nemesis Asian Fusion. The concept draws inspiration from the adventures of Marcus and his deep-sea encounter with the giant octopus Nemesis.

We were seated at a beautiful circular table in a private booth with great views of the restaurant, with its terracotta and cobalt blue colour scheme, and the striking wave paintings reminiscent of Hokusaiās Japanese woodblock prints.
The playful comic-book style menu invites the diner to dive into a South East Asian-themed culinary adventure.
Some of our favourite starters included the vibrant green Gyoza with a Sesame Soy Dip: steamed Japanese style dumplings filled with mixed vegetables, and the Grilled Salmon Yakitori Skewers coated in a sticky glaze of mirin, sake and soy sauce with Asian slaw.
The main courses were also great; a delicately flavoured Thai Grilled Hake, a Korean Bibimbap Rice Bowl with marinated beef, jasmine rice, Asian vegetables, topped with fried egg and gochujang, a delicious Garlic Tofu Chao with wok-fried smoked tofu, mixed vegetables in a garlic soy sauce, with jasmine rice, and a Beef Massaman Curry in a rich, warming Thai curry sauce with jasmine rice.
To finish, the Mango Sticky Rice was sweet and coconutty, the Homemade Apple Crumble Tart was gently spiced, and the Chef’s Favourite Cheesecake was delicately flavoured with Asian Yuzu and matcha and served with homemade black sesame ice cream.
All in all, this was a very enjoyable evening with some tasty dishes, and excellent service, in this very welcome new addition to Portrushās restaurant scene.
Thank you to Chloe, Cara, Amy and Ella for looking after us all so well. See you again soon.
Yomiko
Yomiko is a fabulous Asian street food & Bubble Tea cafƩ in New Row, Coleraine.
Serving up Breakfast, Ramen Bowls, Bento Boxes, Bao Buns and lots more, there are plenty of options for all tastes.
We had a couple of great drinks-the Dragonfruit Snow, and the Brown Sugar Bubble Tea, and our delicious dishes included a superb Tofu Bento Box with sticky rice, Asian slaw, veggie dumplings and a spicy sriracha dipping sauce.
We also really enjoyed the Chicken Satay Skewers in a nutty Malaysian sauce, and the Taiwanese Veggie Baos which were light, fluffy, and flavourful.
Yomiko is a little gem in Coleraine, with attentive, friendly service, and great value Asian street food. Itās dog-friendly too!
Haslem Hotel
The Hotel
The Haslem, a gorgeous boutique hotel right in the heart of Lisburn, is the perfect base from which to explore the city, enjoy some retail therapy, or to simply relax in one of the stylish rooms, or self-catering apartments, and perhaps make use of the residentsā gym. And be sure to sample some of the Haslemās delicious food and drink options.
See more of our visit here :-
The hotel, situated on Lisburn Square, is in a prime location, making it ideal for both business or pleasure. Belfast City Airport is only about 14 miles away and the International Airport about 16 miles away, making the Haslem a convenient and central hub for your travels.
The hotel boasts a great bar area, brilliant for post-work drinks or weekend celebrations. Thereās an extensive list of gin serves, cocktail favourites, craft beers and wines from around the world, with musical entertainment every Friday and Saturday night, and the Haslem Kitchen serves brunch, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner. Thereās also a new Dine Early Menu, available Monday to Friday 5-7pm.
The Room
Our room in the Haslem Hotel had a cool, modern vibe in keeping with the contemporary design of the hotel. Pastel greens, and stylish wooden highlights and panelling created a Scandinavian feel. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and there was a lovely little sitting area in an alcove to enjoy a glass of fizz.
The artwork by local artist Leo Boyd was delightfully quirky, and we loved the retro Marshall Bluetooth speaker, and the luxurious Field Day bathroom products. In fact, every detail had been carefully considered in the design of the room in order to ensure the perfect stay.
The rooms come in three main sizes: Snug, Comfy, and Roomy, and there are also self-catering apartments available to make the perfect home away from home.
