It feels like a little community, bustling with locals who all seem to know each other, and welcomed by staff who are so nice you are convinced you must have met them before. Serving a mixture of breakfast treats and lunch favourites like a good old toastie to sausage, beans and chips they have something for everyone. so long as that 'everyone' likes a good feed. They even do salads for the calorie concious, but I've never tried them as their full breakfast is a hug on a plate and probably the only non-greasy one I've tried in town. They also do a posher evening menu on Friday and Saturday nights which is BYO, and by the breakfast and lunches I've enjoyed, it is bound to be a winner.

I recently brought family here who opted for the large grill (fry) which was cooked really well and was very clean, no greasy items!! I opted for the Mighty Chorizo for a change and it was amazing. Two pieces of ciabatta topped with a delicious tomato sauce with peppers, courgette, onion and chorizo finished with two poached eggs (cooked to perfection). Made a nice change to the tradition breakfast items and is one I would defiantly recommend. All in all a great local eatery

In between my three visits separated by a whole year, I can't believe I'm still the first to review…read morethis exceptional patisserie... the definitive hidden gem! I honestly didn't expect to find such top notch French pastries in Northern Ireland (and see my French patisserie list in case you think I've not had my share!!). But, I looked through Instagram pictures of Lazy Claire in July 2018, checked a bunch of websites, found nothing on them (they've since developed a strong reputation locally), and walked in to find delectable made-from-scratch pastries. The surprise didn't end there. The owner, Daniel, introduced himself to me and told me that he's originally from Alabama... though he did learn his craft at Angelina in Paris. I'm glad I walked in, per habit, around the time a bakery opens (9 am in this case on weekdays). Glad because I was the first customer. The guy after me looked around the display cases and casually asked for 4 butter croissants and 5 chocolate croissants (or vice versa). I turned around to look at him and exclaimed: you bought everything! He pretended as if he didn't know. Though he clearly did (given the mismatched order size). Daniel laughed and told me I'd been lucky. He's a wonderful conversationalist and I spent an hour chatting up with him as he shared his experience of living and operating a business in Belfast. The croissants were flaky with layers of rolled dough, but the shatter effect was more prominent the day Daniel was working. (I'm not dinging the other bakers, they were considerate people having recognized me from back to back visits) I also tried the macarons, but loved the Millefeuille and pistachio eclairs more. I wish I'd been there around December to try the Black Forest bûche de Noël. It looked lovely on Instagram. The New Yorker in me believes one can walk around any city in the world, but I'd forgotten all about "the troubles" on my way to the patisserie. If you're a tourist and don't know your way around the city, be prepared to cab it back to your hotel. Lazy Claire is a can't miss experience in Belfast. Even though, you're probably there for the GoT tours...

Serving a hearty menu of home cooked plates of your usual old school cafe things like a club sandwich, paninis, lasagne and what looked like a diet destroying sausage and mash is not fine dining, but what's wrong with that.
