to shape up to be a two-horse race.
Fittingly enough.
Unsurprisingly, there was a surge of love for newcomer Rise At The Cove, the little café that could charming the knickerbockers off all and sundry since it opened at Carraig Eden on October 29th last year.
Rise shines…
The second horse proved to be The Horse, it’s Bellevue Restaurant proving to be a popular chomping ground for more and more people since its recent rebirth with a menu that dared to go far beyond two sausages in a baked potato in a sea of cold Bachelors’ beans.
Bellevue takes it outside

One happy man…
Everyone here is just over the moon, and we can’t thank everyone enough for voting for us…”
