Pepper ‘N’ Salt

You'll find Pepper 'N' Salt tucked away on Margaret Square, that pocket of Newry that's quietly becoming somewhere worth lingering. It's the sort of restaurant that doesn't need to shout about itself—45 reviews averaging 4.6 stars tells you plenty. Walk in and you get the sense this team cares about what's happening in the kitchen and front-of-house equally. The space feels unforced, somewhere between neighbourhood favourite and proper restaurant, which is exactly where it should be. It's become the kind of spot you text a mate about, not because it's trying to be cool, but because the food's genuinely good and the whole thing just works.
