The 30 Best Institute in Belfast

“My friend and I had a coffee AND scones this morning in NACS.Such a lovely warm, friendly welcoming atmosphere.staff are so pleasant and friendly. Coffee and scones delicious and such a wide choice definitely not overpriced. I highly recommend a visit. .”

“A wonderful experience. Amazing food and amazing customer service. Highly recommend, mainly because of how amazing the owners and staff are. They make you feel very welcome. Food and drink is exceptionally good.”

“The only thing better than the food was the service! Amazing experience and delicious. Tried it yesterday for breakfast and had to come back today as well lol! 10/10 100% recommend!!:)”

“Had a quick bite here for a last minute lunch. The Chinese wrap was very light and refreshing, was perfect to hold me over until dinner time. Had to revisit and try something new, i wasnt disappointed! This food is so light and refreshing. Thanks :)”

“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.”

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

“I did an introductory flying lesson here and it was absolutely amazing! The pilot was so friendly and helpful. The usual two-seater plane was out for repair so we got a 4-seater and they let my boyfriend come along. We flew to Belfast and back. It was such a cool experience and so much fun! Highly recommend.”

“Big thanks to the instil team for the Property Based Testing session earlier today, top quality as always!”

“Enjoyed the Bull Stack burger and fries. The burger was cooked nicely but not too well done and I liked the slightly charred bun it was served in. It was really well filled as well. The fries were pretty good and not too big a portion. The service was on point throughout and it had a fairly nice ambience not too loud.”

“Called in on Saturday morning for the very first time to the corner house. We had the mid sized breakfast pot of tea and coffee. Great service, great food, great atmosphere too. Will definitely be back soon !!”

“Stylish local boutique with a lovey range of clothing, footwear, jewellery and accessories and they do really good sales”

“Really solid coffee right near the centre of the Cathedral Quarter in Belfast City Centre. Seems to be popular with runners and is open early doors on a Sunday morning. Good service, with plenty of options and lots of seating in case you wanted to chill, making for an enjoyable atmosphere”

“Popped in the Royal yesterday on a trip over from England and what a friendly pub with a cracking pint of harp. Thank you to the lovely people in there for making us so welcome.”

“Amazing place for drink with friends,not busier but silent place for gossip etc.”

“A great place to study. The Engineering department is awesome with all modern and up to date equipment (better than some companies that I've worked in). Great catering for online and in person study. The library is fantastic, and if they don't have a hardcopy they'll get you a digital copy.”

“Fantastic pizzas though chicken kebab on chips went down hill not sure if they have changed the sauce”

“Dog friendly. Went for a evening meal and drinks with my partner and our dog. Great service from the start. Had some small plates between us and shared the special which was all brilliant. Curtis even went the extra mile and got my fiancée some olives when she chanced her arm after seeing they weren't on the menu. All in all a great night, cocktails were fantastic and would definitely go back!”

“Great cafe in the East Side visitors centre on CS Lewis Square. Great coffee and a range of snacks/lunch food. Good for working too as upstairs is usually fairly quiet. Has a range of local artwork and products for sale too.”

“Would highly recommend this place. My daughter was looking a 3 piece suit for her formal. The staff put her completely at ease. They quickly identified her colour and style. We came back a couple days later to collect. They checked that everything fitted well and quickly made adjustment for the waistecoat. She came away buzzing on getting her look. Thank you so much making her formal memorable.”

“Amazing freshly made sandwiches. Did not eat in, but sandwiches were amazing. Huge choice of fillings, as a sandwich, toasty or panini. Very reasonably priced.”

“Absolutely fantastic food fry up is amazing been a few times now and never disappointed. Only wish the cafe was bigger and toilets were more accessible apart from that I have no complaints”

“A brief visit to this pub which we liked a lot. Lovely staff and enjoyed listening to the guitarist/singer. We visited 3 pubs in the Cathedral Quarter and they were all great. Looking forward to going back and spending more time there.”

“This pub was a really nice find. Everyone was so friendly and we had such a lovely time in there”

“This is our second visit and we will be back on our annual trip to NI. Such good portions and food so tasty ! Plenty of flavour. Guinness on tap too”

“Myself and my husband decided to stay here for our 1 year anniversary and it did not disappoint. The spa is absolutely amazing and not too over crowded, the food was fantastic. The service from all the staff from we checked in to we left was excellent. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The only downside was the room was extremely warm, however there was a fan provided. But overall it was amazing and we will definitely return.”

“Wow. Where do I start. From the gin cocktail mixed by Christian right through to the very end, the meal was five star. Alex and Christina were wonderful waitstaff/ sommeliers who guided us through the meal from start to finish. The Amuse Bouche, the pigeon, the chicken were perfectly sauced and balanced, on a quiet Thursday night, the attention to detail was perfect. And excellent wine list, and suggestions from Christina to match the cheese course was spot on. I can’t rate Blank highly enough! Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely.”

“We were just passing through Ballymena after going up Slemish and chose this restaurant randomly. The place is big and the staff were very friendly. We got a Sunday menu for £25 (3 courses) and the meat platter. Everything was very tasty and we left feeling satisfied! Highly recommended”

“Came in for a chilli pot today definitely was not disappointed.”

“The food is so lovely and tasty. I’ve never had such amazing food cater my food allergies. It’s presented so well. I’ve not been disappointed at all. The pictures talk a lot.”

“Love! Love! Love! This store is one of my favourites in Belfast. Came into buy jeans with my baby, all mothers know the struggle of a pram. The staff let me take my baby into the larger changing room with me, this made my experience feel so much better than what it would have been worrying about her in her pram x, especially love their management and their new boys!!!”
