Restaurants in Belfast

Rayles Diners

The best Filipino restaurant ever! Given a chance, I will keep coming back to Rayles Diners because of their truly exceptional dishes (made-to-order) and hospitable staff members. God Bless Rayles Diners.

Bank Square Brasserie

Bank Street Brasserie provided the best experience (food, service, atmosphere) during three weeks of travel in England, Scotland and Ireland. Chef handled the challenging allergies of one person in our group and the three of us enjoyed over-the-top meals. Service was gracious and friendly, and the music added to a very enjoyable evening. Only disappointment was it was our last evening in Belfast!

Hope Street Restaurant Belfast

Called in after the matinee show at the grand Opera house, the food was absolutely beautiful and plentiful and the staff were super friendly. would have no hesitation in recommending Hope street restaurant and will definitely dine here again 5***

The Teal Monkey

Been twice recently - once for mid week pre theatre menu, service excellent and food delicious. Went back again with kids for Sunday Lunch menu, nice atmosphere, very attentive staff and the food was great again. Not sure where else I could recommend that offers for value for money, with service and food of this quality.

FireStone

Great customer service and serving staff- made the meal really lovely and pleasant. Great tasty food, and good portion size. Good atmospheric music,not too intruding.

Villa Italia

Food and decor was beautiful here the only downfall from was that the water was off so staff were very busy and distracted we sat for 15 minutes with no menus etc and going to the restroom, washing hands etc was not great as there was no water. We also had drinks added to our bill which was not ours however it was refunded with no issues and understandable. Regardless of this the food was beautiful and I would love to go back again soon

Pizza Guyz

Got pizzas delivered down for my staff in Nandos boucher crescent on Saturday night for a staff party and the food couldnt have been any better. All of the 50 staff loved it all. Big shoutout to Ciaran the owner for sorting us out. Try this place out because you wont eat pizza anywhere else again! Thanks again mate ??

Lavery's

Great place for playing pool and drinks. Only been upstairs but is huge with many tables and excellent smoking areas. Also run drinks offers which is a massive bonus for Belfast.

The Poet Bar and Grill

We held a surprise party here last night with a buffet for the guests. The staff could not have been better or more helpful. They were amazing. The food provided was gorgeous and there was a lot more than I had thought there would be. Am honestly so impressed with this place and would highly recommend it.

SIZZLE N BBQ

We can’t recommend Sizzle n BBQ enough! Conor was fantastic to work with as we organised our wedding catering - as we’re the rest of the team on the day.All our guests loved the food and messaged us afterwards to say it again - particularly the smoked brisket and sausages!The setup was seamless and nothing was any trouble. It really felt like the guys were a part of our wedding party - super friendly too! Can’t wait to have an excuse to have them back for more celebrations.

Novelli at City Quays

I was looking for pre theatre dining which was in walking distance from the SSE, although there were some poor reviews, we booked novellis with a bit of hesitation.
I have no idea why the bad reviews! We could not fault this restaurant at all.
Food was perfectly cooked and so tasty. The chorizo started was melt in the mouth and the 1980s prawn cocktail was lite on dressing with perfect king prawns. I had the 8oz rump steak...med/rare & cooked to perfection, the seasonal greens were fabulous. My husband had the burger with hallumi cheese, that little bit different, again delicious. Chunky chips were fluffy and crispy. Service was spot on and unlike some reviews we had a perfect time between starter and main course. The view across the lagan was great and the walk along the river added to our evening.
I honestly could not fault this evening....les mis just finished our evening making it a fantastic dining experience and show.
I would recommend this restaurant especially for your pre show dining! Thumbs up !

The Restaurant at The Fitzwilliam Hotel

The breakfast each day was wonderful with a great variety of meats, fruits, breads and everything else you might want. If that was not enough, a made for you menu was also available. Although we only ate there one evening it was also fabulous. The staff was great.

Ben Madigans Bar & Kitchen

Was there lastnight with my sister
Staff lovely
Doorman was lovely too
But my only complaint would have to be the ladies toilets.
They have a very bad smell puts you off going in .
And there not really clean toilets would flush either .

The Jeggy Nettle Pub

Joined some academic colleagues for a drink here after a conference in Queens. Prompt service, good pints, outdoor space, clean toilets and suitably distributed seating indoors. Safe.

Ginza Kitchen

Staff very friendly and welcoming as always and the food. My my the food is always to an excellent standard, the quality top notch and tastes amazing. Me and partner have been 3 times it is always the same great quality each time.

The Woodworkers

The place is called the Woodworkers, on the mainland that wouldn't mean anything. I sat down at a table and realised it was made of solid wood (maybe teak? I'm no wood expert), lightly oiled and beautiful. Not sticky or varnish-y like the junk you normally get, but nice wood (you can probably tell, I enjoyed the tables). The beer was lovely, as we're the team. The food was great, I had a scooby snack burger & chips, it was fabulous. One of my colleagues had chicken wings, they were also excellent. If you're in Belfast and you don't call in, you're missing out.

Kelly's Cellars

Absolutely fantastic atmosphere and the best bar in Belfast & fully recommend Kelly's for a fantastic Belfast experience ?

Wheelchair accessibility: Fully accessible for wheelchair

Causeway Cafe

One of the best cafes I’ve been to. The vegan options were endless. The food was amazing with decent portions ! Value for money. Would highly recommend this cafe. Staff were very helpful. The coffee (latte) was amazing too. Will definitely be returning !

Established Coffee

My partner and I come here often with our dog. The coffee is amazing and amongst some of the nicest coffee I've tasted in Belfast. The bakes are average. The food is above average but not great for the price you pay. I had always only gone for the coffee but one time Ordered food and then tiny plate was almost laughable. So for that reason, we only come here for coffee and only when we are in the city centre. I do want to add, the staff and bloody amazing at what they do we have never ever had a bad vibe with any of them, they're honestly great craic.

P.S. Please bring the Chinese coffee beans back!!!!!

Bengal Brasserie

I was over from Newcastle upon Tyne for my birthday to spend with my daughter and "Belfast"family and second time here and both times amazing. Amazing food and staff, great service and thankyou for my birthday cake with ice-cream and singing happy birthday to me! Can't wait to come back here! Thankyou.

The Ginger Bistro

Amazing birthday lunch
Ronan welcomed us as soon as we arrived and mentioned the birthday booking ! A bustling busy restaurant with room for walk ins
Food was as 10/10 and the team worked together to deliver an amazing lunch
Service was first class and we will be back soon and recommending to others
Thanks to all involved in our lunch

Mourne Seafood Bar

Visit on Sep 29, 2024
Great seafood place in the heart of Belfast
Fresh fish, warm service, the lighting could be brighter though
One of the best fish and chips, very flaky, crispy dough, airy enough.
The mussels are to die for, salty brine and light cream.
Clam chowder is on thick consistency type, very filling

Wheelchair accessibility: No ramp for wheelchair

Coco

Everything about this meal was perfect for us vacationers. The service was the best we had in Ireland. The food was very good and the atmosphere was quirky but warm.

Jospers Steakhouse @ Ten Square

Were going to the Ulster hall so went here for dinner before. Very easy walking distance to Ulster hall.
Food was good, service was hood, very polite waiters, we were served quickly and food arrived promptly good and warm and tasty.
Would recommend

OX Belfast

Fantastic lunch deal. Standout dishes were the duck main and caramelized apple dessert but they were all good.
Add onto that a beautiful airy icing location, quiet restful atmosphere, impeccable service and you've got a winner.

Maddens

Madden's is a wonderful local pub in downtown Belfast. The experience was surreal on my visit, as all of the local patrons brought out their instruments for a Monday night community jam session. It was an amazing experience to see a whole room play music and sing together! Thanks to the staff and patrons of Madden's for being so kind, welcoming and friendly!!!

Flame

Beautiful place, really smart decor. Food was faultless, service was perfect. We were a large party and this can be tricky, food arrived quickly and drinks flowed well all night. Would highly recommend.

Eight South

I loved the experience I had at Eight South. The food was delicious, and it didn't take long to be served. The waiting staff were very attentive. The atmosphere was very welcoming, I really enjoyed my meal and I would recommend the place to family and friends.

Sunflower Public House

Recommended by my son, a student here, when I asked for a good pub with good food. The real ale is kept and served to perfection, and the wood-fired pizza oven in the garden produces delicious pizzas. The staff are everything you learn to expect in this wonderful city: friendly, welcoming and efficient. This is a fantastic little pub.

Café Red

Had a lovely bowl of homemade vegetable soup, with wheaten bread and a bowl of chips today. Very tasty, hearty and a good portion. Daughter had chicken goujons & chips, she enjoyed hers too. Happy to recommend ?

Four Star Pizza South Belfast

We use this store for work almost weekly and always on time, and roasting hot! Our students love them!

David, our delivery driver, has been amazing at getting to the right place every week - which is no easy feat!

Fibber Magee

Great evening with live music place was buzzing.Special mention to Rachel behind the bar remembered the round each time and fantastic speed an asset to your team

BrewDog, Belfast Grand Central Station

I didn't eat but did have a couple of drinks so giving the food a 5 out of 5 by default. Good atmosphere and great staff and very easy to forget you're in a railway station. Keep it up!

Seatons of Sailortown

Honestly, some of the best food I have ever had, inventive and ingenious. Every dish was honestly downright strange and absolutely fantastic. It just worked. Brilliant service too, front and back. What a spot.
