Gastronomy Cafe-Bistro

Anyone who has been travelling down Sullivan Place in Holywood recently cannot help but notice a new name on the street. Gastronomy Cafe-Bistro has been developed by husband and wife team, Simon and Elaine Adair, with the concept that good food should be available and affordable to everyone.

Initially, Gastronomy will be operating as a Bistro only serving lunches and evening meals but come April, it will also offer a full cafe service offering breakfasts as well as a tasty selection of home-baked produce available to sit-in or take-away.

The “Enigma” returns to Holywood!

There is a familiar face in the kitchen of Gastronomy Cafe-Bistro. It's none other than David Lavin, the former Head Chef of Enigma which once occupied the same building in Sullivan Place. David was instrumental in helping Enigma win the Best Eatery category at the 2013 North Down Business Awards and within only a few days of opening, former customers of Enigma have already been booking in to Gastronomy in order to enjoy David's gastronomical delights. With over 20 years experience in the catering industry, as well as being the former Head Chef of Enigma, David has also been Head Chef in Flame (Howard Street, Belfast) and Jeffers by the Marina (Bangor) and has also held senior chef positions in The Old Inn (Crawfordsburn) and Donegans (Bangor).

But its no accident that David is in the kitchen at Gastronomy. For he is the brother of one of the owners, Elaine Adair, making Gastronomy Cafe-Bistro a true family business.
