Lusty Beg has been listed as one of the top 10 places across the UK for a drink or bite to eat with a view.
The list compiled by the Guardian newspaper hailed the Co Fermanagh spot as one of the best places across the country to enjoy a meal or just a drink, taking in the glorious views across Lough Erne.
They hailed the food in the restaurant adding that it's 'day-fresh and imaginatively presented'.

Picking the popular wedding venue as one of their top 10, the newspaper wrote: "An island off an island in the most northerly part of County Fermanagh’s serene Lough Erne, Lusty is accessed only by boat or by a tiny car ferry from Boa Island – and its remote location is central to its food offering.
"The dark, green fields of Fermanagh feed its calves, and less than an hour west is the Donegal town of Killybegs, Ireland’s largest fishing port. All the meat and fish is day-fresh and imaginatively presented with Lusty twists on familiar dishes. The seafood chowder with Guinness wheaten bread is a favourite, and as the head chef is from Punjab, the curries are superb.
"Choose a table on the terrace overlooking the pretty bay. The restaurant’s ethos is that real food is not fast food, and that’s a sentiment that applies to Fermanagh generally. They don’t rush down there. And if you linger too long, Lusty has a range of accommodation options – which means you’ll get to try the breakfast as well. Result."
The Fermanagh beauty spot was the only place in Northern Ireland on the list and was joined by places in Cornwall, Snowdonia and Bath.
