Most Disliked
With every establishment comes some critique, and Carriages Bistro isn’t exempt. Some visitors feel that the noise level can rise during peak hours, which might affect conversations. A few patrons have mentioned that the wait time for food can increase when the restaurant is busy, which could lead to impatience, especially for those wanting a quick meal.
Additionally, while the kid's menu is well-received, a few parents have expressed a desire for more options tailored to younger diners. There's a limited range of vegetarian or vegan dishes, which may not cater to all dietary preferences. However, with the overall quality of food and service, many agree the positives greatly outweigh these concerns.

My first time in Larne, it's quiet because it's just opened for the night service, lovely staff (I found them all beautiful), the pizza was lovely & delicious obviously, size of the pizza has out done my Scottish visits 🤣, I did ask for the biggest after all. The walls decorated with train window design with Larne of old, very well presented. Family run business, I'm only here for a weekend break, yet recommend this business than McDonald's. Thank you for your hospitality yesterday ❤️

Only ordered pizza's for take out. Absolutely gorgeous. The only reason any other pizza place has any business, is because carriages closes early. If they kept a chef on and went uber eats, goodbye domino's and apache

Just fantastic food in a unique atmosphere. Pizzas and pasta are fabulous, but don't overlook the turkey and ham option. As good if not better than the day it opened as Carriages, the guts of forty years go. Book a carriage for the full experience.
