The Genoa is an all-time classic restaurant, takeaway, and ice cream parlour. I just had 3 fish suppers for takeaway. They were delicious and satisfying. The fish tasted juicy and fresh and was fried to perfection. (They have a dedicated fish-fryer!) The chips were so traditional that nobody left even a crumb behind. The front line staff were cheerful and chatty, and the customer area was warm. Loved it...

Top quality place in Warrenpoint to get real Italian ice cream or really outstanding fish and chips. This place has got service off to an art. You'll pay a bit more for the quality, but I got enough cod and chips to feed two people. There's plenty of seating in the diamond and it's the perfect way to finish a day touring around the Mournes.

The Fish and Chips are fantastic! Stopped here while looking for some fish and chips to take out. Well set up during COVID: a very genial staff member greeted us at the front door and enquired whether we wanted to carry out food, buy from the ice cream bar or sit in. After stating that we were after carry out food, she ensured I was wearing a mask and directed me to one of the ordering hatches inside. Another efficient staff member then took my order. Effective plexiglass screen at the ordering area that was easy to communicate through. We then waited outside while our order appeared to be cooked fresh. Plenty of complimentary condiments, cutlery and napkins offered and a robust bag to carry it out. Ate it at the harbour, which is very beautiful and only a 2 minute walk. Quality of the fish and chips were above average. Not too greasy or fatty. Batter was just right and fish seemed to be of high quality. Chips were great. Not too expensive; I've definitely paid more for inferior fish suppers. Recommended if you're in Warrenpoint!
