Fusion
They’re big on fish at this seaside restaurant. The daily catch is always on the menu. Kilkeel whiting was on the day we were there. Head chef Brendan Baxter has joined them from Daniel Clifford’s two Michelin- starred restaurant, Midsummer House. He has cooked at the Brit Awards and now he’s doing his thing in Warrenpoint.
His new signature dish is a goodie. It’s Silverhill duck cooked 3 ways. The duck breast is seared; the leg is confited and then there’s caramelised onion gnocchi, crisp duck egg, served with carrot and lemon puree, baby vegetables and a rosemary jus. Mmmmmmmmmm
The owners are a husband and wife team who wanted to create a funky wine bar atmosphere and they’ve certainly succeeded. Although they’ve only been open for a year, Fusion is already a firm favourite with locals and visitors.
Leave the car at home or at the hotel if you can. They have a super duper wine list, they serve beers from the Hilden brewery in Lisburn and the cocktails are ALL fantastic.
