Cafe Smart Restaurant in Belfast

   Very disappointing visit today. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, only to be told a few minutes later that there was no hollandaise sauce available. After looking back over the menu, there were no alternatives that included both soda and potato bread for under £13, which already felt poor value. I eventually ordered the mini fry: poached egg, sausage, bacon and one soda for £8.95. Calling it “mini” was accurate to the point of being laughable… it was an absolute rip-off for the price. The soda bread in particular was shockingly small and looked like half a flattened scone. For a place that markets itself as a bakery, the soda bread was terrible: dry, hard, and crumbled immediately when I tried to cut it with my (unevenly pronged) fork. Just another irritation in an already frustrating experience. Overall, poor quality, poor value, and not what I expected at all. Won’t be rushing back.

   Came here on a bank holiday to have a coffee before I got my flight. It was busy but there wasn't a long wait until a table was free and there is seating upstairs. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the food and drinks looked and tasted delicious. They have a kids menu with crayons for colouring in. If I had come over lunch, I would have tried the chicken ceaser salad.

   Sign said wait to be seated, so waited and waited some more - empty table right in front of us. Server walked past several times, ignoring us, eventually seating us. Just there for tea and a traybake, told to go to the counter to have a look but no labels on anything and couldn't order from there? Had to return to our seats and remember what we thought we wanted. Liked the heavy teapots with the tea leaf sieves and the traybakes were lovely. Atmosphere just okay with windows streaming with condensation so couldn't see out. Serving hatch a good idea for take away, but not sure how that worked if we couldn't order at the counter? The lady behind the counter was lovely and told us she made all the traybakes, fair play, they are nicer than we've had in a long time. Not sure we would be back there if we would be in the area again as there were other spots recommended to us.

   Me and boys were over from Yorkshire for a visit to Belfast. We looked for a Sunday morning breakfast and we found Cafe Smart. At 11am on a Sunday it was heaving busy but they found us a seat. The boys were impressed with their individual teapots and my coffee was superb. My eldest had the adult portion of banana and Nutella pancakes and he was very impressed. My youngest had a bacon butty and said he would travel back from England for another one. I had the Eggs Tower and it was an absolute picture. Eggs, black pudding, bacon sausage, hash browns in a stack and it was amazing. Service was outstanding and food was great value, very tasty, great quality and I can't recommend this place enough. Thank you for a great morning.

   A touch of class on the Belmont Road. Just had the most amazing breakfast and perfect cup of coffee. The staff were a complete delight and so accommodating. This is somewhere I will definitely be coming back today.

   Amazing staff and service. Ordered the matcha as I had seen them post about introducing it on Instagram and our serves was lovely and asked for my feedback as it was a new addition (was delish). Food was lovely and came quickly. Absolutely gorgeous inside and will definitely be back.
