You might have passed it hundreds of times and never noticed it but you really should have. It has a real feeling of an old school café - chalkboards and A4 laminates adorn the walls with daily specials and meal deals. These deals are so cheap that you'll begin to ask what the catch is? Although I assure you there isn't one. A large Americano will set you back £1.95 - possibly the cheapest in town? You can get a pasta meal deal for £4.95 which includes a drink, a slice of ciabatta and any pasta (well, any pasta they have available). I really don't think there's many places in Belfast that can complete with this value. In terms of décor Browns keeps it simple yet again - there's a few comfortable booths and some basic tables, as well as an outside seating area for smokers. I noticed that they were advertising their outside catering - something I had no idea they did. I personally don't think you can go too far wrong with Browns - if you're looking for a quick no frills lunch in the City centre it's worth a try. It's the type of place that could quickly become your regular lunch spot.

Despite being in a street with high buildings on the other side, the decór of the shop makes the place look bright and inviting. I always go here with friends I haven't seen in a while and get lost catching up with all the craic I've missed. The food is also really nice. Their sandwiches are massive and the fillings are inventive and very tasty. Their soups (which always appear to be the same 3 soups in rotation) taste amazing and I would always take advantage of their yumminess whilst waiting for my bus to university on a rainy Belfast day (most Belfast days then!). The prices are fine and the staff are great. In a city where there are tonnes of coffee shops, this is one of the best.

I'm just going to reiterate everything everyone has ever said to me about this deli - it is…read moreawesome! Clean, fresh, warm and welcoming with a huge choice, a good sized portion and a very decent price. The shop itself reminds me of a French deli with all the gorgeous cheeses on display and the shelves which are home to dips, spreads and chutneys! Seriously this is my kind of place! I once had a white chocolate cheesecake in here many moons ago and the image and taste are well engraved in my memory - it looked like something out of a magazine and the taste was thick, creamy yet melting and amazing. I sound like a freak but I will never forget it - haven't tasted one like it since. I can't rave about this place and the food enough - just go, you'll love it!

This is the ultimate deli experience in Belfast! I love the food here and it's so fresh and I love…read morethe fact that even the bread is homemade! This makes for a very exciting smell upon entering here in the morning! Fresh baked bread...nothing better! I come here for lunch whenever I'm in the area and sometimes when I'm not! They offer a huge range of delicious fillings and will literally put together any combination you can think up! They're not afraid to give you plenty and the prices a re great too! I'm told they also cater for functions and although have never experienced this side of the business if the food here is anything to go by it'll be a win win combination!!

This castle also doubles as a venue for various events. The cafe which is located on the ground level has light options such as coffees/teas and sandwiches. The coffee smelled as good as it tasted. Now the garden is breathtaking with a fountain in the center. Along the garden paths are seating areas. You can view the mountains and all of Belfast from the garden. I wasn't impressed with the inside of the castle. It was very empty and not a single sign of any historical information. I saw some staff around the grounds, but tours were not offered. I would have loved to learn more about this castle but was grateful for the views.

They also offer french toast, LOADS of different flavours of milkshake, and teas and coffees. They are reasonably priced, and they also do outside catering for events which would make a lovely 'different' centrepiece to the day.

Chicken goujons came out so dry and tough we couldn't eat them and ribs had too little sauce and were so huge I was actually put off eating them - they looked kind of menacing. Also, as we walked into the grill the smell of frying was really unpleasant - and I am not generally against that smell. May have just been the type of oil vs their equipment. What the hotel does have going for it is good service and pleasant surroundings (lots of comfy sofas, the odd koi carp pond). A lot of carpet. Hotels love carpet.

It's a gorgeous wedding venue, with picturesque grounds out the back for photos, a massive lounge to keep your guests entertained in, and a hue function room, with lots of space for a dance floor! I've also eaten in the Grill Room a few times and it's great on a grey Sunday afternoon for some tasty food in cosy surroundings. It's out of the way for Belfast, but if you're in the Templepatrick area, it's worth calling in for a feed!

It is petit and relaxed, never in a rush like the busier coffee shops closer to town, and this is just the way I like it.
