Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Belfast

Jonny M. • September 4, 2016Best coffee in Belfast by a long stretch. Do yourself a favour and choose what type of drink you want (e.g. Latte, Americano, etc) and let them recommend the coffee. They're experts and artists.

John H. • August 14, 2021Great beer selection and superb wood-fired pizzas cooked in the beer garden. Highly recommended!

Amro • April 12, 2019Burgers are amazing! Really reasonably priced. Great for a quick lunch!

Mandy W. • February 22, 2016The mussels are to die for! Perfect flavour and very fresh.

Ruth A. • May 23, 2014Amazing find Great tea superb fresh home baking and an Honesty Box!

Andy M. • August 17, 2012One of the very few places you can get breakfast on the weekend. Take a sofa upstairs and, if it's on the menu, order the Eggs Benedict.

Lina K. • July 6, 2017Cosy place, live 🎶 music, staff were very friendly, but the most important, - food was outstanding!!! I would absolutely recommend this place to everyone visiting Belfast 🍴🍴🍴

Andy M. • April 24, 2013Fresh, affordable, considered dishes in a city overrun with too many "it'll do" restaurants. Opt for the beef sirloin or the sweetbreads, followed by the Bushmills jelly, and you can't go wrong.

Olly S. • August 10, 2015The sea bass with dal and tiger prawns was the best dish I have been served in a restaurant in ages. The fish was perfectly cooked and the lightly spiced lentils complemented it perfectly. Order it!

Ryan N. • July 16, 2017Great whiskey selection and draft beers. Eclectic decor and lively atmosphere

Mark G. • April 1, 2017Good value lunch menu. Bao buns, steamed and crispy dumplings, with a range of sides and large plates. Try the Son in Law crispy egg with chillies. Friendly staff.

Rick • October 27, 2017Very nice place. Friendly and good ale selection.

Official Dirty Duck A. • June 15, 2011Great food and drink and can't beat the sea side beer garden to enjoy a pint when the sun is shining!!

Rachel L. • November 17, 2013Fantastic cocktail bar. With a small group? Try to grab one of the side rooms. Browse the book of cocktails. Order some delicious nibbles to go with your drinks.

Felipe P. • March 16, 2016I ordered the lunch deal (£4,95): a 6" size pizza (any flavour) with a side salad (chicken caesar). The pizza was amazing, the salad was also very good. Great place. Really recommend the pizza.

Marta • June 27, 2018Incredible quesadillas, good choice of sauses. Nice that there are vegetarian options too. Liked the imported soda as well. Friendy staff and cool music 😊

Daniel L. • July 21, 2012Cheap and fantastic Mexican fajitas, burritos and tacos. Try the carnitas filling!

Golden B. • September 4, 2011Filet steak and sauteed prawns and mushrooms, absolutely delicious.

Ankur B. • January 9, 2015The mains can be quite heavy! (And delicious.) I'm usually a three-course meal person but I was very thrown by how full I was on just a main and sides. Interesting combination of flavours, I like it!

Serge K. • November 30, 2013The oldest pub in Belfast with original decoration. Awesome atmosphere and good selection of beers and liqueurs. Can be quite busy on Friday evening (however, just as all places in Belfast)

Damian C. • August 21, 2010A blissed out dining experience on par with Balthazar, Gramercy NYC. A surprising little enclave to while away the afternoon. Kilkeel fishcakes, fine whiskey and Coltrane. Thank you President Woolsey.

s 3. • May 25, 2013Very well presented dishes. The sea trout was good. The asparagus deserves top marks... And the french fries (chips, really) are worth a special mention.

Thelma C. • March 18, 2015The ambience is great. The service was fantastic. We had 3 course meal. Food was outstanding. We had an amazing waiter. Was extremely helpful and chatty. Cocktails fabulous. Would def highly recommend

Kris L. • November 23, 2013Absolutely stunning food and all reasonably priced. Steak cooked in water bath and the smoked pork belly are all highly recommended. Super atmosphere!
