For any wine lovers out there, the sparkling red is an absolute must try. We also asked the waitress to bring us out a selection of cheeses as we weren't too sure what to get. She brought us out three different types to compliment our choice of wine, and they were fantastic. The staff are very knowledgeable, so if you aren't too sure what to order, just ask. Organising my next visit already!

Recently visited here after dining at Ox (the Ox staff were more than forward when recommending you…read morevisit Cave afterwards). Very dark, but quite a cosy little place. Excellent choice of cheese and wines (I highly recommend the Aged Comté with Truffled Honey). Prices are slightly high, but if you're planning a night out dining at Ox, it's a nice convenient place to go afterwards to relax.

It was the biggest sticking point for me before I went and I took more than my fair share of persuasion before I went. On my first and last visit, I was with friends who have frequented the place more than once so I followed behind them and did as they did. It's really not the sort of place I would ever visit again. You can bring your own alcohol which makes it more bearable. However, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable throughout it as it just is not my sort of thing. Ironically Shisha is meant to help you relax. For some people, this is the perfect place to go and chill out and for that reason you are welcome to it. I would rather a pub and a club to loosen myself up. It can often be over used but this is the epitome of 'you'll like it if it's your sort of thing'. It's not mine and I really did not enjoy it.

Shisha is something I first tried whilst lazing around Camden market when I lived in London. I…read moreloved it, so when this place opened I jumped right in. It's bring your own which makes it quite cheap as well and because it's Shisha, it can be smoked inside, which is very convenient. On the night we went there was an acoustic session going on which added to the very chilled out atmosphere. Apparently it's been having some licensing issues but hopefully that can be sorted out. It's a great place to chill at lunch or for a night out.

Unfortunately, you can't rely on this place to be open. I went down one day and the place was…read morerandomly closed for a staff party. They didn't bother covering the place with staff from the other four Boojums within a three-mile radius (what would there be, 100 staff between the other four?), they just closed. Or maybe all Boojums were randomly closed for a staff party, I don't know. Can you imagine if you went to do your food shopping and you got to the front door only to discover that they had, for no reason, decided to close for a staff party? It wouldn't happen because large food retailers don't view their customers with disdain. Maybe the attitude is, "Screw customers, they'll come back." I won't.

Adore city centre La Taqueria, so was delighted when one opened on Ormeau Road. This is truly…read moredelectable Mexican food, and more vegan options have recently appeared, which mean greater variety for 'us lot' - hurrah! Seitan tacos with vegan cheese (so good, they are heavenly) have lately appeared as a special. In addition menu staples such as oyster mushroom, prickly pear cactus and fire-roasted pepper tacos and quesadillas, along with a wickedly delicious guacamole starter are the main vegetarian/ vegan fixtures. Cocktails are exquisite and the frozen margarita is quite possibly one of the best drinks on earth. Interior is relaxed, if a bit small/ cramped and I love the Mexican themed wall art and murals. My only criticism is that it's an inconvenience to have to go to the counter to collect and pay for your bill - especially awkward when with a group and you have to stand about trying to work out what everyone owes. As La Taqueria are a table service restaurant it would be much easier if a bill could be left to a table first to be looked at before payment. Not quite sure why they don't do this. Outside of this minor gripe, all I can say is - the food and cocktails are amazing - cheers to La Taqueria.

Another competitor in the Mexican fast food market in Belfast, with more or less the usual range of…read moreformats (burrito, fajita, burrito bowl, taco) and choice of beef, pork, chicken or peppers as filling. Tacos are soft by default, which I think makes good sense in terms of trying to hold them together when eating them. I'm happy enough about the food but after having to wait for weeks turning to months for this place to open, they could have given more consideration to the people-flow aspects of design and layout. If the place is busy, the queue obstructs the flow of people from counter to seating. Then anybody sitting by the window has to cut through the queue to access the waste bins. Surely there are better ways of doing this. The counter could have been operated in the opposite direction with the queue directed anticlockwise around the wall by a balustrade. Then anybody leaving the counter could access all seating areas and bins without crossing the queue or squeezing past it.

Stopped in here after seeing the wall art and we wanted to look for a place to eat. Bellied up to the bar, ordered a pint, the wife a sparkling water and started looking on Yelp! for our next food adventure. We are not there 10 minutes before we are approached by a local who is so offensive that it took every ounce of my being not to react. Instead, we finished our drinks and walked out. When I say the comment was offensive, I can't even out it on here. He was looking for a fight for sure. We never looked at him, nor conversed with anyone other than the bartender since we were only there for a quick second. We traveled from Dublin to Killarney to Sligo to Belfast over an eight day period, stopping in various pubs, establishments and restaurants, talking with all sorts of great and interesting people and this is the only negative experience we had. I see good reviews here and maybe it was just one bad guy at the same place at the same time, but I tell you what, that's enough for me to warn others of this. I would find somewhere else and not even take the chance.

What's new then; The Spaniard has Hop House Lager on tap (a local offering) and seems to have put started focusing on luxury spirits - one chalk board was advertising £20+ shots of rum, which are now on my 'to drink list'. If you haven't been to The Spaniard go now! One thing that has changed is the local competition. In a 100 yard radius there's 5 bars, that I can think of, but The Spaniard holds it's own. It may be small but it packs a punch. It's still the perfect place to go to block out the world, listen to some great music and sup on a pint - one word of advice is to keep an eye on time because the Spaniard has a knack making you lose track and before you know it the house lights are going up.
