Upmarket restaurant Timber Kitchen & Bar is the hottest place in Bangor for great food and a lively atmosphere. Customers say the dessert to go for is definitely the lemon meringue cheesecake, which has a shortbread cookie crust and a creamy lemon filling, and is topped with tiny, toasted meringues, a lemon curd drizzle, and a candied lemon slice.
LoveFood continues by saying the lemon meringue cheesecake at Timber Kitchen & Bar is served in two slices—perfect for sharing, though no judgment if you eat both yourself.
