Cafe in Belfast

“Went here for the Sunday sharing roast board and it was delicious. We went for the rump board and the lamb board. I personally wouldn’t choose lamb but this one definitely trumped the rump. Between us we had the mushroom starter it was full of flavour, the chicken wings had loads of meat and the vegetable tarts which initially wouldn’t have been something I would have went for it was super tasty. Every waiter and waitress were very attentive, friendly and provided five star service, fantastic service.”

“Called in for a couple of drinks super Guiness and delightful glass of wine, friendly staff and warm atmosphere. Many Thanks Paul & Lynn.”

“First class service. Chef even came out to discuss part of our order. We were here in belfast supporting a lady we look after & she has specific dietary requirements. Will definitely be back before we go back to scotland on sunday.”

“Really enjoyed lunch here today. Huge starter portions. Burger proper tasty. Drinks a little slow but overall I would definitely revisit. (Think I would book next time as very busy and we were fortunate to get fitted in without one!)”

“Brilliant food and atmosphere, also serving a lovely cider called angry orchid. Went back the next day for another pint!”

“First-class service! I was very impressed with Bittles Bar. A friend recommended it, and I appreciate that it can be a tourist attraction, so I was expecting to be a bit chaotic. However, the staff have this bar running like a well-oiled machine. They make sure to find you a seat and keep your glass full. I was very impressed and had a great pint! I highly recommend it!!!”

“Lovely pub, live music every day. Guiness pour was nice and a wide selction of other draughts.”

“Amazing food and staff very friendly.”

“Great place, tasty food. Our server was the absolute best! Very friendly and helpful and we never had to wait long. We came in on a Friday evening, music was sort of loud, which we would have expected. However, another table asked for the music to be pumped up even further, and at that point we were unable to hold a conversation. We wanted desert originally but then decided to leave as it was a bit too much. Would have easily been 5 stars otherwise - definitely recommend!”

“Nestled in Belfast’s vibrant heart, The Cloth Ear is a pub that doesn’t just serve food and drinks—it delivers a downright love letter to your senses. The menu is a culinary hug, with dishes so delectable they could make a stoic Ulster fry weep with joy. The lamb stew tastes like it was crafted by angels moonlighting as chefs, every bite is a revelation. The service? Unmatched doesn’t even cover it—think of the staff as your new best mates who somehow anticipate your every need with a wink and a smile. Whether you’re sipping a pint or savoring their sticky toffee pudding, The Cloth Ear wraps you in warmth and wit, making you wonder why you’d ever dine anywhere else. Five stars, and I’m already plotting my return.”

“Amazing Cocktail masterclass by Weronika and Aideen for my best friend's hen do! They were so patient and made it so much fun! Would definitely come back!!”

“Great food at a reasonable price, the burger and chicken burger were both massive and really well prepared. Our server was very efficient and friendly. The place is very spacious and has a pool table and gaming machines. They also have a large screen for football and sports for when events are showing. Good coffee also”

“I don’t come to Northern Ireland very often but when I do I always park in Lisburn. My colleagues recommended The Cardan and I must say I have not been disappointed. The food is absolutely amazing, well cooked and excellently presented. From the moment I walk in I am made to feel welcome. Something you don’t get from a lot of places. If I was to recommend anywhere to eat and drink it would be The Cardan. Fantastic place to meet, eat and drink. Thank you to all the management and staff for making this an ideal venue.”

“First time in this Cafe today and we had a great experience. The staffs were amazing. Will definitely come back again. Special mention to Chloe and Charlie. Thanks a lot!”

“Great, strong coffee. Perfect place sit and relax whilst the kids are having fun in the local facilities.”

“I want to post this review about holywood neros and how amazing the manager is he is clearly very passionate about his job and very warm and welcoming with excellent customer service clearly an asset to the company he asked how I was and I informed him my granny had died. He was very sympathetic and courteous with genuine interest behind it. Great guy with big future”

“Really pleasant restaurant with great food and value. Especially good on a Sunday for a sharer board. Staff are excellent and quiet relaxed atmosphere inside. Outdoor seating also available for good weather days.”

“Brilliant coffee shop, staff are lovely, I'd strongly recommend the chicken flatbread ☺️”

“Fantastic old school traditional pub. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Over the four nights we used here the crowd were very civilized, no shouting or swearing. The Guinness is top quality and up there with the best in Belfast.”

“Had a lovely breakfast here. Came just as it opened so was very quiet. Staff were friendly. Bit chilly upstairs (just opened obviously) but then they lit the log burner for us.”

“Lovely feel to this place, service is efficient and friendly. I was surprised at the selection of savoury nibbles on selection, and was drawn to the beetroot wrap - it was recommended to be served warm by the staff, and it was delicious! The outdoor seating and our current spell of good weather certainly makes you feel that your sitting somewhere is Europe!”

“Absolutely loved my visit here with my husband and children. My kids loved their sausage rolls and buns and my husband said it was the nicest sausage roll he's had. I thoroughly enjoyed mine too, the staff was exceptional! So friendly couldn't fault them whatsoever. The decor was beautiful. We can't wait to go back again another day. Had such a great experience”

“Old shool music and always busy. Michael is a great owner who will always go the extra mile for anything needed. Some great drink offers and if you pass on a saturday daytime pop in for a cocktail. Good weather the windows open at the front and its always busy!!”

“Excellent place. Dog friendly ... The menu is quite large and good. Lots of attractive options. I would say prices are above average, but I think it is really worth it. The backyard is fantastic for sunny days. We'll definitely go again!”

“Absolutely some of the best food we've ever eaten! My boyfriend and I came for a meal this evening and were greeted with a lovely warm welcome from Ethan who served both our drinks and food. The service was 10/10, Ethan was so polite and friendly. We had squid and mac and cheese to start (both absolutely beautiful), followed by chicken and chorizo cajun pasta, and a ribeye steak. The steak was cooked to PERFECTION, it literally melted in your mouth, the best steak we've ever had for sure! We'll 100% be back if we're ever in Bangor again, 10/10 for everything, no faults whatsoever! Xx”

“Lovely pub which pours a great pint of Guinness The best part is the staff. Very nice and friendly. It is also dog friendly up to like 9pm. Before then. On the weekend it does get nosier for the dog though.”

“Lovely little bar in Bangor. Parking is a tad difficult but a side street does the job and no need for a parking ticket either. Food was excellent and was brought out quickly. Service initially was a tad slow but not enough to hinder the experience. The area we were in for food was quiet enough but definitely seemed like a lot of life in the next room (maybe the main bar area?) Anywho, would highly recommend for a feed. We got 2 courses for £19 each on a Saturday night and was very happy with that. Fish was absolutely fantastic and a great homemade curry to go along with it. Salt and chilli beef to start was great too, not chewy at all and full of flavour. Would highly recommend”

“We haven't been here in a while so decided to give Saturday breakfast a try. It did not disappoint... There was a lovely guy on the till & serving. He was polite and helpful & so was the girl clearing tables. The atmosphere was lovely it was peaceful and not too busy at the time. Then the food was amazing, everything I like in a breakfast, looked and tasted great. We will be back”

“Great place for a quiet drink with no fuss about the place. All workers are lovely and cant do enough to make sure u feel at home”

“Clean tidy great food excellent staff and service.”
