A short review, but wanted to raise the green positive flag to this simple but effective local bakery and restaurant. We popped in for a lunch as an alternative to the very poor hotel food served where we were, in close proximity to the Shelbourne. The Bakery is the frontage and it opens out to a restaurant at the back, comfortable, but busy, so be warned if you like quaint and quiet. It ain't. However, if you want an honest meal, well prepared, good value and reflective of traditional local flavors and ingredients, nothing lost to try something here. I had the excellent cod and chips, with a side of gravy (no comments please). I can say that the fish was well cooked, batter was crispy, frie...
My wife and I went for lunch at The Shelbourne yesterday, July 7th. We both ordered the fish supper meal and found it to be the best we've ever had. Many restaurants, hotels, cafes, and takeout places often serve cold food, leaving us disappointed. We were pleased to find that this was definitely the best cod we've had. We sat at the front of the café next to the bakery, and the server was excellent. It was refreshing to see friendly and professional staff, including a young male server who was also excellent. We will definitely be returning the next time we are in Newry and have no hesitation in recommending The Shelbourne. Keep up the good work! Chris and Jackie from Bleary Portadown.
Called last Thursday for something to eat. As usual, service is very good. Ordered the fry, which arrived freshly prepared and overall was very tasty. Reason for dropping a point to 4 star review was because of the sausages. Please, for the sake of a few pence more, use good quality butchers sausages instead of tasteless catering sausages. Whilst sausages were well cooked, I only eat 1 and left the other, as being easily identifiable as catering sausages they are tastless. Otherwise, loved everything else. Will definitely revisit.
It was a bit old and stuffy. They're often very busy, if you want a quick takeaway breakfast, your order goes into the queue for the restaurant so you could end up waiting 40 minutes like me at peak times. The staff are nice enough but not well trained, sometimes just standing around doing nothing while you're waiting for service. Even though they've got a huge selection of cakes and breads, none of them are particularly standout. Very bland and boring I struggled to find one thing I liked the look of.

There’s no denying the food is delicious but the price of the bakery is now extortionate. 1 little (literally) gingerbread man will sent you back over £1.00. I cannot see how that is justified especially as a business that is constantly upping their prices every few months. The restaurant food as always is delicious to eat but again on the pricey side. However the quantity of it does make it worth it. Beautiful inside and friendly staff make it worth a trip.
We were seated promptly, but our server, Jacqueline, was very rude and made us feel uncomfortable. She seemed to look down on us for some reason. There were plenty of staff chatting and the food took about 30 minutes to come out, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. The curry we ordered was just okay and we wouldn't order it again. Overall, we wouldn't return to this restaurant and suggest dining elsewhere.
We came in this cafe on our way going to the airport, the food was ok but for the price you hardly got any, I ordered the large breakfast which at least 1/4 of the plate was soda bread and a latte, can’t fault the waitress she was very polite. We also went into the bakery next door which was very reasonably priced and tasty.
first visit to the shelbourne It was very busy but we were quickly allocated a table We both opted for the special which was Cod and Chips with mushy peas and a pot of tea The meal was beautiful and Shauna who was serving us was lovely really efficient and very pleasant

We were hoping for a relaxing lunch but were very disappointed. The staff was frantic and there was an overwhelming amount of noise in the restaurant. The food was decent, but the overall atmosphere was unpleasant.
Decided to dine here for breakfast. Breakfast was ok. The sausages were tasteless . Everything was ok. Wasnt greasy or anything.
