A historic 18th-century water mill in County Down has been beautifully restored and reimagined as a vibrant Mediterranean-inspired destination restaurant and café-deli.
The former Dundonald Old Mill, which dates back to 1752, now shines as Capparelli at the Mill, a warm, welcoming space that marries rustic heritage with modern Mediterranean flair.
The transformation is the brainchild of Belfast-born Lucie Capparelli and her husband Carlos, who have poured their passion into reviving this historic landmark.
Adding further prestige to the project is the backing of renowned chef Yotam Ottolenghi, whose support has helped bring this unique culinary vision to life.
Officially opening its doors today, the team shared their excitement on social media: "It's time! Delighted to share that we'll be officially opening our doors on Tuesday 26th August. Bookings are now live on our website, but we will always have space held for walk-ins."
