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.
Quail’s at the Gallery
Website page HERE
The F.E. McWilliam Gallery celebrates the work of sculptor Frederick Edward McWilliam, and is also home to the rather excellent āQuails at the Galleryā, an award-winning cafĆ© which offers delicious meals using local produce from Quails family-run farm.
We enjoyed a lovely lunch; a wholesome Beetroot & Halloumi Wrap, a light Open Prawn Wheaten, and a warming Sausage and Mash. And the sweet treats were also terrific.
The cafĆ© is open Monday to Saturday from 09:00 until 17:00 (Lunch served 12:00 ā 15:00. Last serving 16:30).
Rose House, Glenarm

Rose House is a delightful Georgian residence in the pretty seaside village of Glenarm on the Antrim Coast. This seven bedroom property has beautiful sea views and is right on the doorstep of historical Glenarm Castle and some lovely forest walks, making the property ideally situated for exploring the North Coast, and enjoying the outstanding scenery.
Rose House is resplendent with period features throughout; antique furnishings, unique pieces of art, and traditional interiors which cleverly and sympathetically contrast with the contemporary touches required to ensure a comfortable stay.
With a fully equipped kitchen including all modern appliances, stunning bathrooms with luxurious toiletries, organic textiles and linens throughout, and a natural colour palette with beautiful William Morris wallpapers in many rooms, Rose House delighted and surprised us as we explored everything it had to offer.
The downstairs living area is a generously-sized space, ideal for family meals and get-togethers, and it leads to an enclosed patio perfect for the summer months. On the first floor thereās a tastefully furnished sitting room, family bathroom and several bedrooms, one en suite, and at the top of the house, more bedrooms and a gorgeous master suite featuring an incredible bathroom with a fabulous tiled shower area. Thereās also a quirky games room on the second floor to keep the young at heart entertained.
And thereās even a secret door which leads straight to Moranās superb seafood restaurant next door. Which was more than convenient when finding our way home after a delicious meal!
Rose House is a wonderful spot for a relaxing getaway with friends and family. Many thanks for the opportunity to stay in this lovely property.
