Based on the location and decor, one would not expect too much about the food. Our group of 4 ordered 4 different dishes, with mine being the pan fried Hake. Well let me tell you, all 4 dishes were licked clean by the end of the meal! That should tell you something about the taste. We were initially blown away by the presentation of our dishes. Again, we didn't expect such level of presentation that's typically seen at fine dining establishments, not a rusty boat in the middle of a small town. Once we tasted our food we were even more surprised as all 4 dishes were as delicious as they looked. This restaurant is a must try if you're in Belfast!

During the time I visited, it wasn't very packed so I was seated swiftly. The kind staff accommodated my request to get a corner table. The vibe can be describe is a classic. I really enjoyed all the dark stained wood furniture - gave it such an "old Irish saloon" vibe...maybe because it is haha. I did not have much time to spend in Belfast, so I tried to taste as many traditional dishes as possible with being just one person. With that being said, I ordered a few of their notable dishes - Crown Bar Irish Stew, Steak & Ale Pie, and to finish it off, the Sticky Toffee Pudding served with both the custard and ice cream (really thankful the server offered to give me two toppings, and they were both delicious). All the dishes were great, and are definitely hearty. The stew as well as the pie filling had a rich roux - nice, thick and flavorful. I will say, the pie pastry was not as flaky as I would have liked it; kind of too thick. Overall, it was a great taste of Ireland

Canteen At The MAC was the last stop on our food tour and last certainly was not least in this…read morecase. We were seated at a long table and provided these delicious kabobs. Now often I am not a kabob kinda person as I often find kabobs to be over cooked chewy things. But this was decidedly different. It had soda bread, a thicker softer white bread, a delightful sausage, and bacon. Coupled with a brown sauce it just was an utter delight. The UK ruined me on sausage because I really find sausage in both England and Ireland to be noticeably better than any sausage I have eaten in the US. The casement is not a distracting element. I know some like chewy, snappy casement but I am not one. The meat itself was very flavorful with a smooth texture. I wanted just to eat a plate of sausage! The bacon is more on the Canadian bacon style then the US style - which makes sense - but I liked it here more than Canadian bacon. It wasn't super fatty, it was very easy to chew, and it was very flavorful. I really enjoyed it! The staff here were super polite and kind. It was a great experience!

Open from 10 they have a good selection of breakfasts and coffees to get your brain buzzing, but it is lunch which really shines. The dry aged burger is a delight, made all the nicer for the awesome surroundings, I'm a bit of a fan of the architecture to be fair. Laid out over the ground floor and mezzanine, you can people watch at the big windows or hide in a cosy booth and catch up on your correspondence (with the free WiFi). The fact that it is also fully licensed also means you can have a pretty reasonable glass of wine should the mood strike you. Tourist or local, art lover or philistine ;-) The Canteen rocks.

There was a 10/15 minute wait for a table but that was grand after all its sunday morning brunch time. I ordered the best of the market breakfast (see pic) and asked for my tea to be served at the same time. Food came out quickly but I didnt get asked if I wanted any condiments, had to ask myself. I was about half way through breakfast as well before I had to remind them id also ordered a tea. This came without milk so had to ask for that too. So the food itself was good, ive had better, ive had worse. I didnt like the very crispy slice of fried soda, personally I prefer a nice soft soda farl to mop up sauces and egg. Potato bread was ok and the rest nice but not mind blowing. Overall its not bad. Lovely setting, friendly, if not forgetful staff. Id come back but ive had better breakfasts. Maybe try a lunch or a dinner next time.

If you can manage to get a balcony table overlooking the market whilst live music is in full swing…read morethen George's Of The Market is one of the best place in Belfast for breakfast or lunch. I visited yesterday (Saturday 14.05.2016) with my sister and we had an extremely enjoyable leisurely lunch sitting on said balcony, watching bustling St George's Market, soaking up atmosphere and listening to wonderful live music. Service was good and there were a few Vegetarian options on the menu. It's a pity these Vegetarian dishes aren't more clearly marked with a (V) plus a few more Vegetarian dishes would be great, but at least they are there. Caroline S ordered a Veggie Breakfast (£6.75) which was the most impressive looking Vegetarian Fry I've ever seen, plus she assured me it tasted fantastic. I opted for a pasta dish with butternut squash, walnuts, onion and rosemary (£6.95). Delicious food in generous portions at reasonable prices. We managed to work our way through glasses of Pinot Grigio, Rose and Prosecco. St George's Market Bar and Grill also do the most amazing pure apple juice and Prosecco cocktail which we thought the best Prosecco based cocktail we have ever tried. Most of the restaurant ingredients are fresh and local, coming from the market itself. We arrived at just before 1pm and stayed until after 3pm as we had such a wonderful time there. Even inside this restaurant is beautiful due to natural light coming through a skylight rooftop, however the best tables are definitely on the balcony. I'm already plotting my return...

The lunch menu isn't particularly extensive, so we both went for the steak, which is pretty much our go-to when nothing else excites us. It was well cooked and tasty.

In all it is a well presented place with pleasant staff, and I would try it again, but would go for their evening menu where there seems to be a better selection. Or if The Potted Hen was full.
