Cafe in Belfast

“Fantastic coffee! This place puts the special into speciality! Great staff, great vibe, but most important really good coffee. Best in Lisburn by a long shot!”

“Great coffee at a great price. And if you are in the mood for a sausage and bacon sandwich, the look no further.”

“We got the baby grilla and big grilla burgers, peppercorn chips and were given a cheesecake to try which was delicious… absolutely massive portions for the price! Food was very tasty, especially the peppercorn chips!! Would recommend if you’re looking a quick yummy takeaway :)”

“Good coffee and a really nice scone. Lovely tranquil spot just away from the buzz of Royal Avenue!”

“Best bar in Bangor. Guinness best in the country. One of the only places left where it's not chilled to the point of no flavour. Also a proper pub; no food, sports on quietly in the corner, mix of interesting characters.”

“The pints are actually class This is a proper bar”

“Great family run pub. Staff really friendly. Perfect Guinness”

“Lovely bar staff, nice atmosphere.”

“Great venue for live music, although very small. Staff are always helpful and polite. They even formed a great band, which is actually rather good. Parking can be an issue but only 5 mins walk from York Street train station. Have been there many times, last Sunday was our latest visit. The food is rather good too. Well worth a visit at anytime”

“Love this traditional Irish bar. Best in Belfast. The Guinness is fantastic, believe me, you'll not get better in the city, and I have tried most of them. Bar is small and gets very busy at times, but this all adds to the atmosphere.”

“My son and I stopped here for lunch on the way to the ferry in Belfast. The sun was shining and we sat at one of the lovely outside tables. Food was fab and service was really friendly.”

“Been in a few times when I’m over with work with my book and to play some pool and do the quiz. Nice bar staff and relaxed clientele, very much a local community pub which seems to have a different event on every night.”

“Two stops during our recent stay in Belfast. Luckily we were able to sit outside and then at an inside table. Busy and crowded but the service staff never seemed harried and were friendly and helpful. Tourists and locals all seemed to be having a great time.”

“Superb, traditional and bustling pub with music downstairs, lovely restaurant upstairs. Had the Irish stew, really decent and hearty although portion not massive for the money but you pay for the central location and with a side or starter would have been fine. Ordered and had the food in less than 5mins as they have it on the go. Lots on the menu, was served by the lovely Roisin who was so friendly and helpful. It was so good I came back the next day as she'd recommended the ham and champ but sadly missed out as didn't realise they close the kitchen just after 8. I gather the pub is the oldest in town, it's got bags of character and was the prettiest I visited in Belfast.”

“That's a cool place for having a cocktail or something else. We've visited it during a Food tour and it's been great.”

“The Sunflower Public House is a distinctive and much-loved pub located on Union Street, just behind Belfast Central Library and near the University of Ulster. It's known for its authentic character and a slightly alternative vibe, standing out from more commercial establishments. One of its most recognizable features is the security cage on its front door, a relic from 1980s Belfast that has been intentionally preserved as part of the city's social history, now serving as a unique talking point and a symbol of resilience. Music is central to the Sunflower's identity. It regularly hosts traditional, Appalachian, and Gypsy Swing sessions, as well as folk and bluegrass. The pub prides itself on offering a wide selection of craft beers, including local Northern Irish brews. The Sunflower is widely known as a very dog-friendly pub, welcoming well-behaved dogs both inside and in its beer garden, often providing water bowls and treats. This has made it a favorite among dog owners. The Sunflower Public House is considered a "back to basics" pub, free of gimmicks, and celebrated for its genuine character, excellent music scene, good beer selection, and welcoming atmosphere, making it a highly recommended spot for those seeking an authentic Belfast pub experience.”

“Staff were really pleasant food was great would highly recommend”

“We had a nice drink and bite to eat here last Sunday afternoon. The service was very good and the staff were pleasant and attentive. The food was delicious small plates /tapas style. I will definitely come back again.”

“Fantastic staff warm atmosphere bar totally upgraded plenty of TV's for music horseracing football etc Friday Saturday Sunday fantastic music home from home”

“Went with family and friends. Great choice of beers. Some areas reserved for several groups from time to time but plenty of room. Pizza offerings first class and tasty. Great spot.... Now has a sitting area out the front and to the side. On a good day packed due to both areas getting plenty of sun mid afternoon onwards.”

“Nice wee place to go have a quiet time few drinks.”

“Small 60th birthday party but perfectly formed, great wee night.”

“Found this place accidentally and I couldn't be more thankful! Easily one of the best, if not the best, meal of my life. My party of four had: duck, ribs, lamb, and superfood salad as mains and sticky pudding for dessert. It was absolutely incredible! If you have the opportunity it is WELL worth your time. I'd rate this higher if it were possible. Delicious!”

“Had a great fry this afternoon with a mate , the food was super and the lady who served us was lovely and couldn't have been more welcoming. Will be back without a shadow of doubt”

“Great food and drink at great prices and the staff are very friendly.”

“Lovely little bistro a stone's throw from the water. Sophisticated but relaxed ambience with interesting works of art. A good wine list with more than enough options. Lamp rump was likely the best I've ever had - there's a reason they keep getting Taste of Ulster plaques. My companions' duck filet and the homemade tagliatelle with lamb ragu were well received. And dessert was delicious. Service was attentive with a light touch. Worth a visit but advise you make reservations.”

“Really lovely food and service! had a wonderful Sunday roast and others had different meals, all great and welcoming staff”

“You’re always guaranteed to get a great meal here. The staff are friendly and attentive and the food is always excellent.”

“Food was incredible, great portions, definitely be back!”

“We eat here fairly regularly and it's always amazing but I wanted to leave a review after our takeaway tonight. I tried the special fried rice for a change and I have to say it is the most delicious rice I have ever eaten! I will probably dream about it tonight! Don't ever leave, best food in North Down ☺️”
