The view over Strangford Lough to the Mournes is the main event here. Had a decent burger, but honestly, you&#39;re paying for that panorama. Just sat there with a pint for ages.

Found this spot near the hospital. The coffee was good, but the real star was the barista&#39;s suggestion to try their house-made syrup with it. Made a simple morning coffee feel a bit more special. Service was genuinely warm, too.

Been coming here for years, and the scones are always spot on. Just had a coffee and one this morning, same comfy armchair by the window. It&#39;s the consistency that keeps me coming back.

The Korean chicken starter was fantastic. The lamb ragu and chicken main were great too, but that cr&egrave;me br&ucirc;l&eacute;e was the real star!

The pre-theatre menu was a great choice for our group. The manager greeted us warmly, and the food was delicious. I highly recommend this place for a lovely dining experience!

Been here a few times now. The food is always top quality, really well prepared. Connor and the team are friendly, make you feel welcome. Good spot for a reliable meal.

The goat cheese salad and bacon brie sandwich were a solid quick lunch. Fresh ingredients, no complaints. Good spot for a fast bite when you&rsquo;re in a rush. 👍

we&rsquo;ve been to quite a few places but have to say, that with out a doubt it&rsquo;s the best breakfast we&rsquo;ve ever had. great value for money,the breakfast was cooked perfectly and the service was excellent. the decor was fantastic. we fully recommend this place as a must go to if you in Belfast and the menu is really good as well.

Got the window seat overlooking the beach, which was a nice touch. The chicken and leek pie was the real star though&mdash;the mash was so creamy and the pastry was spot on. Really enjoyed that.

Been back a few times, always solid. Had the monkfish and prawn curry special last night &ndash; it was surprisingly light but still really flavourful. The live music downstairs gives the place a proper buzz.

Loved the vegan options here! The portions are huge and everything had so much flavour. The staff were really welcoming too, which made it a perfect spot to catch up with friends.

Stopped by for a late lunch. Service was quick and they were upfront about a drink not being chilled yet, which I appreciated.

As someone who watches what I eat, I really appreciate their vegan options. The vegan chocolate brownie ice cream was a nice treat. You can tell they use good ingredients, it tasted fresh and not overly sweet. A solid choice for a healthier dessert.

Decent veggie options here. The paneer tikka was solid, not too dry. Asked for extra spicy and they actually made it hot. Good for a casual meal.

The chef is so lovely, came out to chat about the specials. The lighting is a bit low for my taste, had to use my phone torch to read the menu properly! 😅 But honestly, the food is always spot-on.

Been coming here for years now. The coffee and sandwiches are always spot on, and the place has that same bright, cheerful feel every single time. Staff are genuinely kind, which keeps me coming back. It&#39;s just a reliable spot.

The gluten-free options here are pretty good, nearly the whole menu. Our server was friendly and helpful, which made ordering straightforward. The food itself was decent, though a couple of dishes were a touch salty for my taste.

The herb-crusted salmon was spot on. But the real vibe came from the space itself &ndash; the lighting was just right, and the booths were so comfy we ended up lingering over that rich chocolate brownie for ages.

Loved the view from the terrace&mdash;seeing the City Hall and the Christmas market lights was just lovely. The inside feels really cosy and romantic too. A nice spot for a relaxed evening.

Tried the steak sandwich for the first time. It was really tasty, the meat was cooked just right. Good prices too. Service was fine, no complaints.

The lamb shoulder was so tender, and you could really taste the quality of the meat.

The acoustics here are spot on. It was packed when we visited, but the noise level was surprisingly comfortable. Could actually have a conversation without shouting. The staff were quick to clear tables, too.

Stumbled upon this place. The lamb dishes were fresh and generous with salad and bread. The atmosphere is what got me - properly cozy, like a warm hug. Just the right kind of relaxed spot.

The team was really nice and helpful with my dietary stuff - gluten and a bit of dairy. Felt relaxed knowing they&#39;d sort it.

Very dog-friendly, they even brought a water bowl for our pup. Staff were so attentive.

The portions are huge, honestly. I was surprised how much food you get for the price. It&#39;s really good quality too. I ended up taking half of it home.

Walked in on a Saturday without a booking, and the manager squeezed us in. Staff were really on it, super attentive. Food was solid, portions are big. Nice spot.

Loved the vibe here! The staff were so welcoming, really made it feel like a cosy catch-up spot. We shared the whole seabream, perfect for a group. Just a bit pricey for the size, but the friendly service made up for it.
