Restaurants in Belfast

“Food was gorgeous! I had a turkey and ham dinner. We ordered coffees but after 25 minutes they never arrived so we paid the bill and went elsewhere. We phoned the week prior to book a table and were told just to arrive. We were queued out the door but only had approximately 10 minutes to wait for a table. Staff were very friendly. It was very noisy with people so it was quite difficult to have a conversation.”

“Expensive and a bit hit & miss with the courses. Sometimes the overwrought, complex nature of the dishes worked, and sometimes it didn't. (I do understand that you could argue that the complexity is the whole point.) So as an example one of my favourite dishes was the Venison Carpaccio, and it was perfect just how it was. But do you remember that horrible Kellogg's breakfast cereal "Special K" that people pretending to be on diets would punish themselves with? They'd inexplicably added homemade "Special K", a bit of moss, plum chutney, beetroot, and various bits of flower petals, and it felt unnecessary. However on the other side of that, they'd done God only knows what to the trout, and that was an absolute joy. And so it went on... 7 courses later and over £300 down for two people I would still recommend this as an experience, as something interesting and different. Also I must give a special mention to the Barman and the other staff, who were all fantastic. And they all seemed weirdly happy, which was a refreshing change for the mid-20s.”

“Great variety of food. Service lovely and staff polite and helpful. A bit expensive but worth it. We ordered variety of stuff and all was lovely.”

“A hidden gem just off the Boucher Road. As a regular customer I have found the staff warm and welcoming. The menu is wide ranging, and the food is great. Breakfast is class, and I would recommend the Bolt Breakfast if you like a traditional fry, however theres lots of healthier options too. The restaurant is good size with a series of different seating options.”

“It’s a hidden gem, I did not know about this place and it is very close to my house, the coffee was great and the sourdough with humus was sumptuous”

“In terms of Mexican food, always loved the B word in Belfast, though always thought I could have made it at home. And that's the main difference at No. 1. It just tastes different. The combination of (3) tacos...chicken, pork and halloumi, every bite, every chew, and every taste was different. Texture perfect. The beef wrap, huge, every bite offered something different, I don't have the vocabulary to describe the flavours. And the chips with guacamole, not a 99p pack of pre made nachos.. Everything made fresh and tastes fresh. Can't describe my excitement at finding this place in Belfast. The guy serving us was really dead on too. Actually can't wait to try more. No. 1, a fitting name.”

“With Hunters chicken, and smoked salmon on the menu, I wasn't overly inspired. The reality was that it was an absolute privilege to eat here. A beautiful modern restaurant, the student waiting staff are some of the friendliest, warmest and welcoming I have encountered in any restaurant and are a credit to the place. The chef who inspires the chefs of the future is a gentleman who is willing to share his tricks of the trade and ventures around the happy customers ensuring everyone is enjoying themselves. It's impossible not to, every bite is a treat, and I would highly recommend trying this place for a fantastic meal.”

“Food was incredible, duck spring rolls with sweet Chilli dip and a delicious accompanying salad garnish for starters. The main was Bang Bang Chicken with peanut sauce dip, oriental salad garnish, garlic cubed potatoes, and a side of tobacco onions. I was left mightily impressed and mightily full. Dessert had to be passed on this occasion, but the staff were lovely and very attentive. Thoroughly recommended”

“Excellent meal, which started with the fish chowder served with warm bread and continued with the fish of the day for me and the duck for my wife. Both entrees were well prepared and attractively presented. Desserts were tasty and a delicious end to a memorable dinner. I highly recommend this restaurant.”

“Great local Irish restaurant! The taste was great and the seafood was fresh. The starter calamari was exceptional. Lovely atmosphere with artistic touches in the restaurant, would recommend.”

“Delightful experience. Well deserved one star. The room is both stylish and relaxing. Service is warm and attentive but not fussy. The food was inventive and always delivered flavour with flair. The wine list is well curated and not overwhelming. Lots of variety and price points with a wide range of by-the-glass wines. We didn't go for matching wines but the sommelier Nick gave us great recommendations. Highly recommend for a special dinner.”

“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”

“We stopped off here on the way from Belfast to Derry after being recommended to go here by friends and by god were we glad we did! Our warm welcome from our very attentive waitress to having our drinks on our table within minutes and allowing the perfect amount of time for us to be ready to order. The kids menu for our 4 and 6 year old was great, they loved being able to choose a starter, main and dessert and having the fruit skewer as a choice is super healthy and great to see (i have added menu to pics). Our food was absolutely beautiful and nothing was left on our plates, perfect portions, perfectly cooked and presented and top class and friendly service from the staff. This will definitely be our go to place for trips to Belfast in future (just 2 mile from roundabout at Magherafelt (Derry to Belfast route) really couldn't recommend here any higher. Full marks!”

“Had a great night last Wednesday. There were ten of us; service was spot on, food was excellent. Special thanks to Grace, Freya and the rest of the team. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Hopefully get back again soon!”

“Excellent quality food at a keen price - I am strictly coeliac and the gluten free options were both tasty and carefully prepared to avoid contamination. Staff were polite and attentive. Hard to fault in any way really, and especially at this price.”

“Dropped in here on a Monday night as we were staying at a nearby hotel and wanted to eat locally. We werent really expecting much as we were just looking for a quick bite out but wow, does this place knows how to do food & service. From the minute we entered, the waiters were the most efficient I have ever experienced, two of them setting the table in unison, like clockwork! We never wanted for anything as they always seemed to be there just as you needed them, but in no way overbearing either. The food was excellent and one of the nicest Indians I have had in a long time. Next time we head up to Belfast we will certainly pay a visit here.”

“Very impressive meal last night on our first visit on a windy monday evening - one of the most enjoyable Indian starters I have had! (chicken puri) and tangy balti exotica as main course. Better half had a somewhat unusual Indian starter of duck spring rolls :) which were lovely! The service was excellent and we will certainly visit again”

“One of the best Indian restaurants in Belfast! The food is absolutely delicious — especially the Rara Ghost, Chilli Chicken, Chicken 65, Garlic Naan, and Tandoori Chapati. The staff are incredibly friendly and make the experience even better.””

“Stopped here for lunch and what a find! Really good food and beautiful decor. The specials were very tasty and great value too.”

“Best experience as the staffs are all lovely although we were the last table remaining”

“We got the large breakfast fry here at Hedleys Restaurant and it was so delicious! The staff were so kind and welcoming, would definitely come back next time I’m in Belfast :)”

“What a lovely spot. On the bustling High Street but a hidden gem (well to us) How did we not know this was here when it's been open for 27 years! It was lunchtime so very quiet but we had such a nice time. Attentive and friendly service and the food! I had the confit duck salad with chocolate mousse for afters. One friend had scampi then doughnuts and the other had the burrata salad starter as a main. All so good! Beautiful room and a lovely outside deck too. We sat well behind lunch closing time (sorry!) but we weren't rushed and really had no idea we overstayed. We will be back!”

“Really delicious food. We had veggie pad Thai and veggie Red Curry. Both super tasty, full of perfectly cooked veg. Tried the veggie Gyoza as well. Staff lovely.”

“As a breastfeeding mum, Goodfellas was super welcoming, comfy, and no fuss about feeding my baby. The food? Absolutely delicious (the chicken Kiev hit the spot!), with generous portions. Staff were lovely and made us feel right at home as always. Highly recommend for great food and a relaxed, family-friendly vibe!”

“Such great sushi and sashimi slices were so thick! Extremely worth the price and a great selection in menu! Cutest place very cozy, tucked away and perfect for any occasion! Highly recommend this place for sushi lovers.”

“What a spot and always has been. Booked for a table of 16 night before and no issues. Amazing food and even better service. GF menu. Highly recommend.”

“I had the pan-fried salmon with chorizo, and it was absolutely out of this world, perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. What truly made the experience exceptional was the service. I came in alone for dinner and was made to feel so welcome. The staff were incredibly attentive, warm, and professional, some of the best service I’ve experienced anywhere. I’m staying nearby at the Clayton Hotel, and this place is hands down the best spot for food in the area. A real small hidden gem, highly recommended whether you’re dining solo or with company.”

“Absolutely fantastic food, brilliantly unique classic tapas. Plenty you'd not see anywhere else. Service was very good. Vick was a gentleman, he put in a lot of effort. Overall couldn't fault the experience in anyway. 6 dishes, 2 drinks, a dessert, tea and coffee came to £103.”

“Perfect treat for my sister’s birthday while we visited Belfast. Lovely warm welcome from the host then served by the fabulous Josh, who was relaxed and fun, yet professional at the same time. Thank you Six by Nico for some wonderful food!”
