Oh yummy yummy Ventnors!…read more I don't know how it's possible that some places make better sandwiches than others, but Ventnors really do. They'll do you a sandiwich, a a baguette, a wrap or a bagel and fill it with all kind of everything. The bread is always fresh, as are the fillings and the prices are reasonable enough for the city centre. When I worked nearby I learned very quickly that unless I wanted to be queuing out the door for ages, the key was to go for lunch 10 minutes before everyone else did to beat the crowd, so if I were you, I'd avoid it at 1pm on the button, and actually, I wouldn't bother going after 2pm, because they tend to be cleaned out by then!

I've had the occasional bagel from here but what I would really go for are the salad bowls which…read moreare really good though I'm not sure that the portions are what they used to be a few years ago. I wouldn't go at lunchtime. I'd get a lunchtime salad before work, when it's not busy.

I got a chocolate slice, for 4.50 it was a steep price for a small piece, but I'm American... maybe that was normal. We sat outside and enjoyed the drizzle rain and music.

I am SO SO impressed, and my meal was so good I had to get a second. So refreshing to have a restaurant that is good at being gluten free!! And all the food checked out on my NIMA tester :) Is there a way to rate this more than 5 stars????!!!!

This place is really popular with people often queuing to the door, but don't worry it usually doesn't take long to get a seat (there are two seated areas just around the corner from each other) Would recommend to anyone who want a tasty lunch and a good choice of variety!

Harlem cafe was our first stop when we arrived in Belfast as we had heard good things and it didn't…read moredisappoint, it's also great for kids who are fussy eaters. To me Harlem cafe's decor is gothic style, dark but cosy with twinkling lights and candles, the food is great and I recommend the french toast with berries and maple syrup. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Harlem cafe is a popular place and very busy and the only negative i will say is that there isn't much space between tables so you really have to squeeze past to go to the toilet or wherever. Also its not a cheap place but I would say its worth the price as the food is great, the atmosphere and ambiance is great and the staff are lovely.

The shop is located about 50 yards from Shaftsbury square, so is handy to anyone living or operating around Botanic or the Dublin road. If you are wanting a luxurious place to stay in, think again.The inside is small, but has sitting room for about ten, with seats outside for whenever the weather is good, or when people are feeling particularly brave in the Belfast winter! However most people are going to be taking food away,a dn that is where Flour Power comes into its own. it makes its delicious fillings on site.For example, it's succulent chicken tikka is real marinated, high quality fare compared to the guff from a tub you get in most places! There are a wide range of wraps, baguettes, rolls, salads and melts on offer, and the courteous staff, controlled by the owner Jonny will provide you with what you need with an infectious warmth and genuine enthusiasm. The business name is also a beautful pun. That is for me the icing on a most delicious cake!

First of all, places as good as this are not plentiful enough. Second, if I could give it 8 stars I…read morewould. This place came recommended, but with a codicil I hear from time to time - the portions are small. I don't really mind this, provided the quality is there, and the tastes are wonderful. For the most part the tastes and the quality here are wonderful. So four of us, all first time diners here, arrived with anticipation. Last time we four dined together was in Disney's Boathouse Orlando and I've separately reviewed this below average place. It was a cold evening about 6c as we arrived. I think we got the last car parking space; it doesn't have extensive parking. The greeting was warm and it felt like we were going into an old barn, the impressive brick walls are feet thick and lots of exposed old wood. Cosy enough. My starter was seared scallop with confit chicken wing, crisp chicken skin, chicken sauce and wild mushrooms. It was delicious and hard to discern the best bit. It was all very good with a moreish sauce. Two companions has the citrus cured salmon, with cucumber relish, salad cream and granary crisp bread. They raved about it. The salmon was a cured chunk, mostly raw within and perhaps blow torched to magnificence on the outside. One of our hungry bunch had celeriac soup which she found divine together served with tasty, chunky wheaten bread and butter. So let's pause. I read somewhere that this is a British restaurant. Ok. If you say so, but with the stocks, gels, purées and reductions it more than nods to Escoffier and French haute cuisine cooking techniques. My main was salmon based, with deep fried rissoles stuffed with fine chopped mushrooms, puy lentils, steamed sprouting greens and some of the greens lightly battered and fried tempura style. Again everything on the plate was tasty. Desserts were glorious bar one. My wife and I shared the dark chocolate, cherry and honeycomb and wow. Chocolate heaven enhanced with the whole cherry and honeycomb piece. The peanut butter based pie too was light, delicate and very tasty but a tad more salt would lift it much more. After these two big hitters the rhubarb and custard trifle was disappointing. It is a vegetable treated like a fruit. It didn't wow, it had no sharpness, it was more like a gel and it was not the thump of taste that rhubarb can easily deliver. Even the custard was meh. I doubt I'd go for it again. Staff were delightful; the (£5) beers were tasty, the wine a generous pour (£5.25) but the (£7) gin of the week was weak, overly ice cubed, watery and generally diluted way out of balance. So next time we must double the gin measure and reduce the quantity of ice and mixer. Their cappuccino (£3) was very tasty too. I hope it's not too long before we return here. It was 4c as we left under the bright moon and as we were out in the country side the stars were noticeable.

Nipped in here for lunch on the recommendation of a friend and it didn't disappoint!…read more I admit staring at the menu with a bit of immediate terror at all the fancy schmancy things staring back at me, but - I had the fish and Parmesan fries, hubby had the steak sandwich and chunky chips. For dessert we had the pear crumble, burnt cream of the day (coffee) and the sticky toffee pudding mini desserts. Great place to have lunch, it was quiet, service was friendly - though there was a looooong wait between courses and we ended up in a bit of a time crunch to get the child from school - but it was absolutely delicious, a great wee find tucked away. I imagine Christmas time here would be lovely
