It's time I re-reviewed Kitch as I've now dined here numerous times. My first review was 5 stars and with this review I'm 5 starring them again. For me personally, Kitch is the best restaurant in Belfast. This is the sort of food that I would choose for my last meal on earth as it's so delicious. Kitch offer an extensive, dedicated Vegetarian menu and can Veganise many dishes on request. From Monday to Wednesday It's BYO and for the rest of the week you can choose from their well selected and reasonably priced wine list. Cocktails and liquor coffees are superb as well. By now I've eaten my way through most of the veggie menu having sampled the vegetable tempura, salt & chilli tofu, tofu satay skewers, flatbreads, vegetarian sliders, wild mushroom tagliatelle, roast butternut squash risotto and numerous desserts (the lemon posset is amazing). I've loved every single dish l've had. Plus I've eaten in Kitch with friends, family and work colleagues both vegetarians and carnivores and everyone else has loved the food too. If I could criticise one thing it would be that the chairs are not the most comfortable, however they're not so bad that I would knock a star off for this. The staff are friendly and helpful, decor quirky and casual and atmosphere relaxed. Most importantly of all the food is fantastic. I absolutely love this little restaurant.
I've been to Kitch twice now and I already can't wait to go back. The Food is absolutely amazing and the service is outstanding. Kitch have a great menu - I opted for 3 small plates - deep fried feta cheese with caramelised onion, potato bravas with chorizo and chicken wings. All this for £10 and it was enough for a main meal. It was so good I ordered more to take-away. Oh and it's BYO on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesday.
Went here last night on recommendation from Yelp manager Stevie What a place!! This is too cool! The decor for starters is very laid back with mis matched chairs (I swear some were from my old school canteen lol!) with funky art on the wall ranging from a pic of Bob Marley to an huge canvas of Harland & Wolff! We were welcome warmly by the male host...who was so charming, down to earth and truly made the night for us (along with the food) We were able to bring our own wine which they allow mon, tues & wed nights, but they have an extensive wine list too The food...O.M.G!!! It was outstanding! We shared two starters...the salt&chilli squid, and the Korean chicken wings (recommended by Stevie) they were gorgeous! So tasty...could've happily sat and ate these all night no bother lol! For mains, I had the crispy seabass with mash & portavogie prawns, my friend chose 3 sliders (mini burgers) she chose pulled pork&bbq sauce, lamb with harissa, and southern fried chicken) and it came with 3 matching dips for each burger, and fried The mains were amazing...no word of a lie...it was truly gorgeous! For dessert, a hot choc brownie with vanilla ice cream which I can't believe we ordered seeing we couldn't breathe we were that stuffed lol! Again...lush! The only minor downside was the female staff weren't particularly enthusiastic, I wouldn't call them rude, but cracking a smile wouldn't be the worst thing in the world lol! Not to be deterred by less than welcoming females, I highly rate this place and can't wait to go back!
First visit to kitch and I can't wait to go back. We went as a party of three before a belsonic gig. For starters I had the Korean chicken wings which were amazing, I had heard so much about them and they didn't let me down. The others had the popcorn prawns and the squid. The batter on the prawns was so light and fluffy. The squid was cooked perfectly. For my main I had the beef brisket served with mash, greens and gravy. The beef itself was so tender and literally melted in my mouth. The girls went for the shepherds pie and the flatbread. The flatbread looked a bit dry but when we asked for cheese to be added to it the staff were more than helpful. We decided to go for liquid desserts, 2 espresso martinis and an amaretto coffee. Monday to Wednesday it is bring your own but kitch have a great drinks list too including cocktails. That's another added to the list of great restaurants in belfast.
Wow! Fresh, farm-to-table, feel good, and gourmet all in one cute cafe. I had the kale salad with roasted butternut squash, grilled halloumi, and a Dijon vinaigrette and it was so good. My boyfriend had the fish and chips with hake and scalloped potatoes in a tomato and onion beurre blanc sauce and declared that he had "won" lunch and though mine was incredible, his was indeed even better. The portions were a bit small but that left room for dessert AKA THE BEST STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING EVER! Seriously, the butterscotch sauce was divine and I want it drizzled on every dessert ever from now on.
Kitch was super close to our hotel, and both the food and service was on point. Management was also nice. Two things to note - they had some issues in the ladies bathroom due to the rain outside. Definitely watch out for that. Second - they overcharged for our drinks. We dined during happy hour, and had all of our drinks in the allotted time period. When we wanted to pay out, it was a bit of a process to get our tab corrected. So, check your tab before you pay.
Being given the task of organising a work dinner always comes with a lot of pressure. You need to please everyone (especially your boss) with every aspect. I did a lot of research before finally selecting kitch, based on price, menu and, most importantly, it's yelp reputation. I can happily report that not only did my colleagues enjoy themselves, some have actively suggested it for Christmas. Phew! Paul was very helpful on the phone and didn't get annoyed at my constant changing of attendee numbers, even when extra just turned up at the restaurant. The food was amazing. I had the cajun chicken flatbread which was a great size and certainly ticked all my boxes. The white wine was actually one of the best house wines I have had, which is definitely a compliment. I made sure to try a few glasses to make this a fair test of course. I didn't have a starter or desert but they also looked amazing, with the mussels getting a huge thumbs up. The decor itself us very informal and not where you would go for a posh evening. But it suited us perfectly. We had 21 people and they provided us with one u shaped table, much better than any set up I've had before where you don't see most people for the whole night. Overall it was great food at a great price. Only one pointer for the restaurant... Perhaps your bar staff should eat their pot noodles in private in future!
Always nice to see a new restaurant pop up in this area of town, even nicer to see one that is regularly busy, and for a good reason. The food in Kitch is not only delicious, but with generous portion sizes, it is also great value for money. The decor feels nice and homey, and while when I first visited it I thought it was a bit cramped, it honestly didn't bother me since I was too busy enjoying the food. The starters are big enough to share between two people, the staff are very friendly and welcoming, plus it's close to the cinema/bars if you want to go for a nice date night.
Wandered in after seeing great Yelp reviews. Located near our hotel it was a quick walk. The atmosphere was calm. As the night progressed, locals began to enjoy them selves loudly as the drinks flowed. The Irish spirit was in the air! The food was delicious. We started with the Honey Chili Chicken which had us fighting over the last piece! For our main course we shared the Shepherds Pie and the Beef Brisket.. both were delicious. The service started wonderful, but as more patrons entered we were left waiting for our bill for quite some time, eventually we made our way to the bar to pay, as it seemed our bill wasn't coming anytime soon.
Kitch is BYO Mon-Wed The cocktails we got with dinner were great and not too pricey aswell. The menu covers a lot of bases from meat/fish lovers to veggies. I ordered a herb crusted beef brisket which came with mash and the best gravey i have tasted in a long time! The beef was tender and moist, which some other places find hard to do. Will be defo be coming back here again soon.
We're in town on a quick jaunt, and wanted to check out something local for dinner. Having checked reviews on Yelp, my husband, 10-year-old daughter, and I decided it a try. The inside atmosphere was simple but warm, and there was great music playing. We had popcorn prawns for starters, which were simply stellar. I had the Shepherd's Pie, which is made with roasted lamb. Oh goodness, unbelievable. So perfect! My husband had the brisket, which he deemed "fabulous" (not a word he uses lightly). My daughter had mini burgers and declared them the best she's ever had. The staff were all so friendly and we enjoyed chatting about music and the town. If you're in the area, you'll do yourself a favor to stop in here!

We came across this cute and high quality restaurant as we were walking down the street and we were very quickly satisfied. The customer service is exceptional. I love how they take the time to explain the menu and also advise you that it's made to order so it's fresh quality. I ordered the daily special with is the pasta and meat balls. It was amazing. My boyfriend ordered the lamb shank Shepard's pie. So delicious and flavorful. The portions are great. You will defiantly be full. I love everything about the Restaurant. Highly recommend it. read more
So I don't give 5 stars too much. This place rocks- everything is brought in farm fresh and the flavors are outstanding. We had the veggie broth, which actually was a stew with barley and loads of veggies. The broth was magnificent and I'm hoping to get a tip from the chef before we take off. The risotto was creamy and didn't miss the cheese my vegan daughter omitted. The meat eaters had the chicken club and hamburger.... chicken in Ireland is NOT the same. So much better. The Kitch pie was chock full of tender beef and the mashed potatoes were creamy and luscious. Definitely plan a stop during your stay in Belfast. read more

Relatively new along the Dublin Road stretch this is a cute little restaurant with an eclectic 'kitch' décor. The waiting staff are extremely friendly and attentive and the food was superb. The cuisine is a hard one to put a label on, there seems to be some nice fusion dishes (Miso chicken) and some middle eastern style flat breads and other Mediterranean styles, with classic burger and chips style in there too. I personally had the vegetable tempura which for starter which was packed with flavour and the ponzu dip was delicious. I had a meatball and olive flatbread for the main, though I wished I'd been a bit more adventurous and got the sliders (3 mini burgers from a good selection and chips). Finally I had the lemon posset for desert which was beautiful, very tasty and light. I'll definitely be back but we were disappointed to hear that they may be making the BYO option on only some days in the future. It wouldn't stop me from going, but it might limit the days I'd go on :-) Overall great service and excellent food. My one (small) gripe is that I asked about a specific type of tea on the menu and the waiter did not know what it was. I was however shortly after allowed to smell the leaves and told what was in it by another member of staff so I can't complain really. Hope this helps. *I've since been back and the food and service were impeccable. Review upgraded to 5 stars* read more
I've been meaning to try Kitch for a very long time and last night I finally made it down for some grub. I had briefly been inside Kitch before but last night I was surprised by it's size. There's at least six tables of four at the front of the restaurant looking out on to the Dublin Road and then there's also a large seating area to the rear. The decor is simple yet effective, a tiled floor and painted, exposed brick work create a clean, rustic vibe. The service is exceptional, there were three staff on last night and they kept the restaurant running like clockwork. Despite them being noticeably busy they engaged in friendly chats with all the tables and even went the extra mile on a few occasions to make sure our experience was as good as it could possibly be. On to the food, I'm not usually one for 3 courses but Kitch's menu is so good that you'll find it not to be over indulgent. For starter I went for Korean chicken wings and these were (perhaps?) the best wings I've tasted that weren't buffalo style. They were just the right level of spice to keep you going back for more. On to main and I went for 3 sliders (for a tenner). I choose southern fried chicken, pulled pork and Moroccan lamb. These come served in a wooden tray and with a side of fries - wooden trays and other such quirky serving items are actually my pet hate - what ever happened to a good old fashioned plate? But these sliders were so good that I completely forgot what they were sitting on. I did have a bit of food envy though as the steak looked incredible and after getting given a small bite it was perfectly cooked. I'lll have to make a return visit to try that one. After the main I was stuffed but I remembered from looking at pictures on Yelp that the deserts were a little bit special so I cleared some space for a Sticky Toffee Pudding. I'm so glad I did as it was absolutely delicious - the toffee sauce was rich and creamy and it complimented the soft sponge of the pudding beautifully. As other reviewers have mentioned it's BYO from Monday to Wednesday so a meal mid week won't break the bank. I would recommend visiting - the food is exceptional, the ambiance is just right and the service top class. Go! read more
Food was amazing. I went with not much of an a petite but I made sure I ate all the food to the pont I feel like exploding. The food was delicious and I will definitely be making a return visit. Cocktail happy hour is between 3-7 with the cocktails being £3.50. Or if you go on Mon, Tues or Wednesday it's bring your own which always keeps things cheap and cheerful. read more

I ate in Kitch last night. Both the pre cinema menu and normal evening were on offer! The other couple I was with got 3 small plates between them for starters and their main which came to a total of £20. Couldn't beat it. I wanted to go for the steak, which is also reasonably priced. It was amazing. Cooked to perfection and arrived with the nicest onion rings I've ever tasted. Not to mention we got the best happy hour cocktails ever for £3.50, BYO wine & exceptional service. All they need is some cushions on the hard wooden chairs :) read more

Ok... so after 4 of the "What The Kitch" cocktails... I decided to wait to write the review...LOL! But I can attest (soberly) to the fantastic experience! Great food and drinks! I had the Korean Chicken Wings, Feta /cheese Fritters, Cheese & Prawn Flat Bread, Beef Briskit ( ok so I was hungry, Plus i was with three other people! Not hat I let them have any of mine lol) I highly Recommend this restaurant (p.s. Would have giving it 5 stars but the service needs a little work i.e. the kitchen staff is a little slow for the volume of customers.) read more

After a successful night of carving pumpkins and BYOB courtesy of a great Yelp night, we had fairly built up an appetite. And since we had already sampled the great wings Kitch had to offer we decided to stay had have dinner there. The menu was interesting and varied, but I opted to go for a few of the tapas style small plates. I opted for more Wings (they were just that good!) these were cooked in a spicy sweet chilly bread crumb type coating and a break from the normal buffalo wings I usually opt for, they really nice would definitely order them again. I also went for the Feta Fritters and the Patatas Bravas, also tasty and with 3 plates for a tenner, good value for money with a good portion size. My boyfriend opted for the Beef Brisket with mash potatoes and THEE BEST GRAVY I HAVE EVER TASTED!! My friend Holly will back me up on this. We stole his left orders, and I think we would get this meal ourselves just for the gravy, so flavoursome! The staff were attentive and friendly, and although the place was big with not many diners in it, it was still a nice atmosphere. One thing to note is it has a fully licensed bar now, so it is only BYOB for the first half of the week, which is a shame as I love my BYOB and would definitely go back for the food. read more

It's a little place along a row of store front restaurants. I found it by chance and was glad I did. It was around 10:30 pm on a Saturday night and I didn't have reservations. The staff set me up a single table and were very attentive to my needs. I ordered the pork belly and black pudding appetizer and the braised short ribs for my main course. Both were excellent! read more
