Incredible hip, artsy restaurant. It wasn't easy to find and is very unassuming when you walk in but the staff were excellent and the food was OFF THE CHARTS!! I'm vegan and was skeptical about what they recommended but it was the BEST vegan curry I have ever tasted. We own a restaurant and I travel extensively so I've eaten at many places but this was UNBELIEVABLE!! They even have vegan Ice scream which was yummy... again I was skeptical but... wow!! This place is a MUST!! read more

Great concept, helpful and friendly staff. Love the products! Best place to get quality souvenirs

Absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely we

The food here is good overall despite it being a little touristy but there were a few misses. To start, we ordered the short rib and scallops appetizer, and flatbread with olive tapenade. The flatbread and was good and was devoured by the kids. They were able to put the olive tapenade separately. The short rib and scallop was ok but was was a very small portion and not worth the 11 euro price tag. For dinner, I ordered the roasted chicken and it was pretty good. The mushroom risotto was very flavorful and tasty. The beef duo was another hit. The sirloin steak however, was not a good cut and was not tender. Service was welcoming and was good overall. read more

I am not the fully seasoned traveller so I can't give 5 stars as I do not have enough experience. I liked this place and would go again, which is what I would say about 95% of the places I ate in Ireland. Food quality in this country does not appear to be real volatile as long as you eat in regular places so choose the place that has the items that interest you and enjoy! read more

Wandering the streets of downtown Belfast the cafe options can be overwhelming as there are multiple on every corner. We were looking for a good lunch spot to try some local fare and settled on Made in Belfast after reading the glowing yelp review. What a great spot! Very rustic meets modern style with string lights, rustic hardwood, and open seating. All of their food is locally sourced and they even tell you which farms their meats are from. The menu was reasonably priced (we were there for the lunch menu). Everything about 7-9 pound, sides at 1.50 pound. We shared the goat cheese appetizer to start. This was the highlight of the meal. A delicious ball of goat cheese covered in some nuts, and served with fresh red and golden beets. This was served with a whole grain bread - texture of a banana bread. Delicious. Must get. This was followed sharing the burger. The burger was full of flavor and had an aioli type sauce. So good. Must also get. I had the fat fries and a small soup, tomato bisque. Very good as well. Good size for the 1.5GBP and the soup and everything else is made in house. Service is great. Come to south Florida and we would be regulars! Thanks! read more

I usually don't eat out as I'm quite a picky eater. But this place is absolutely amazing. Service was perfect, we didn't had to wait too long. And ambience is just as I like it. Vibrant and relaxing at the same time. read more

Lovely dinner! Booking is a must if you want to come and experience this wonderful dinner experience Cocktails were well mixed and well served, crab starter was... out of this world! Burger was good, though not having the option for less than done and well done on the meat was a bit peculiar... local law it seems... a shame... The desert was the perfect end to a wonderful dinner experience Staff was helpful and courteous, recommend tipping :-) read more

Great deal with the "show time" menu, offered Monday-Friday 4-6pm (wonderful for us with the jet lag and wanting dinner early on our first night in town). Friendly service, though the food was slow to come out. We had: WHIPPED GOATS CHEESE, GLAZED LOCAL BEETROOT, CANDIED PECANS, CHARD LEAVES, SOURDOUGH CROUTONS - good flavors here, but definitely needed more bread/croutons! SUSTAINABLE GINGERBEER BATTERED HADDOCK MUSHY PEAS, ROASTED LEMON, CURRY SAUCE & BEEF FAT CHIPS - actually had their gluten-free version instead, on the server's recommendation and it was really flavorful! Skipped the curry sauce though. Loved the roasted lemon! fish pie that isn't listed on their online menu - delicious! I loved the tomato & cream based sauce, with big chunks of various fishes in there WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO from the kids menu was also a big hit - lots of types of mushrooms were greatly appreciated Kids menu entrees also come with a soft drink (including fizzy juices) and ice cream shared a sticky toffee pudding with salted caramel ice cream for dessert and it was fantastic. will definitely return! read more

This place had the goods. I ordered a steak sandwich and the sweet potato fries. The steak was thinly sliced, like a flank steak and cooked medium. It was a perfect cook, not too chewy, but not dry either. Just perfect. What was missing was a seasoning in the meat and some more avocado. It said it came with avocado, but there was hardly any. Ya know what was amazing? The sourdough! Wow! The sweet potato fries were as good as anywhere. I ate them all. Minus a star for not having ranch dressing. Yes, us Americans love ranch with our fries. That isn't weird. And, I was offered mustard, but it had horseradish. Oooffff. In fact, they didn't have any mustard without horseradish. Overpowering. Minus another star because of the avocado. The sandwich, overall needed something like a sauce or spread...or more avocado/guacamole. Recommend? Sure. It was a great locale, trendy looking, and the staff was friendly enough. But where were all the customers?! Hmmm. Made me wonder. read more

Best meal of our trip so far! Started in Dublin, went to Galway, we are almost 10 days in and this was a culinary highlight. We had the tear and share sourdough, it was delicious. Wonderful tapenade. We both had the duck so we wouldn't have food envy, now we have decided to go back tomorrow and try the lamb! The atmosphere is great and the decor is so fun and comfortable. Loved every bit of this place! read more

First time in Belfast. Relied on Yelpers to guide us to a great spot. Indeed they did. Phenomenal location and atmosphere. Exactly what we hoped for. We tried the salmon tartare, goat cheese app, pork belly dish, and the tiramisu cheesecake....every single element had amazingly unique and tremendous flavor. I couldn't be more pleased. Service was good and prices reasonable. read more

It was closed and yelp maps made this place unfindable. We ended up down an alley in the midst of construction.

We enjoyed the food greatly. The braided bread was fresh and delicious. I had the mussels, and they were prepared perfectly in a wonderful sauce. Also had the risotto with shrimp which was pretty close to perfect. An eclectic place which we found pretty inviting, the only downside was the staff didn't seem all that interested in our presence. Not overly welcoming, but not rude, just... different, compared to all the other welcoming places we stopped while we were traveling. Overall the goodness of the food slightly outshined the lackluster service, but I can't say I'd go back again. read more

Came here after seeing Made In Belfast's astounding ratings. What I ate: Crab claws in chili and garlic - I ordered the small portion and it was a very substantial appetizer. The flavors were rich and the presentation was very beautiful. I thought the balance was a little strange, but not in a bad way. Oven baked filet if sustainable hake - this was delicious!! I squeezed the baked lemon over the fish and every bite was a delight. I thought it was SO well spiced and really delicious with the noodles, which were appropriately blander than the fish. I think the portion and presentation were spot on and would deff recommend. I observed someone order the battered fish and chips and that fried piece of fish look AMAZING. It was huge and fried to perfection. Definitely would recommend if you're into fish and chips. The atmosphere: Upon stepping through the kitschy doors, one is transported into an eclectically designed artsy space with walls decorated with menus advertising the sustainable and noteworthy characteristics of the food. The interior is dimly lit which makes the bright colors seem more rustic and when you sit down to eat, you're given a paper menu clipped to a clipboard. Takeaways: I loved the food however, I felt as though I fell into a bit or a tourist trap. There were many tourists at this place and thus, the prices were substantially higher than most of the other places in Belfast. The service was a bit slow, but very friendly and overall, a fun place to get a really tasty bite. read more

After my travels abroad and trying local restaurants everywhere we went, this has to be the best meal I've had anywhere!! Everything was beyond delicious and cooked to perfection.

Great food! So glad I found this place thanks to Yelp! We ordered a couple of apps for the table to share. The pork egg rolls were good, but small portion with only two skinny egg rolls. I ordered the pan roasted chicken with potato au gatin and veggies. By far one of my favorite meals the entire trip. Everything was so flavorful and the presentation was amazing. All of our cocktails were freshly made. The popular one at the table was the Madam passion. I had the bramble which was great also! And of course dessert....get the sticky toffee pudding! It is served warm with vanilla ice cream on top. We also ordered the lava cake and apple crumb. All yummy! read more

Very good, reasonably priced dinner in the heart of Belfast. Restaurant has a nice casual vibe. Definitely worth checking out for lunch or dinner if traveling to Belfast ( a great city for tourists). read more

I love the décor; it's so quirky, but I'll get to that later. The first time my partner and I went, we shared the baked Irish cheese and the grilled hake over crab fettuccine. Both were superb. The bread that came with the baked cheese would have been lovely on its own, all doughy and salty. These tasted a little like brie and was all melty and delicious. The hake was cooked perfectly and the crab fettuccine was full of flavor. And fat probably, but that's what makes it so yummy! The service was spot on. They're a casual restaurant and our waiter was in jeans and a button up shirt. When my partner mistakenly ordered a "Laffy Daffy" cocktail, the waiter said coyly, "Would you take a Lady Daffy?" The second visit was with a large group, which can impact service, but they did very well. I had the Sheppard's pie. While it was very good, it's not the traditional pie you would expect. No crust or potatoes on top. Just delicious, tender meat in gravy in a pie crust. Be sure to look around! There's portraits of dogs dressed and posed as people. The different colored subway tiles throughout is a nice touch. read more

Overall Value: Wow. The food really blew me away, every component of every dish was perfect. By far the best meal we had in Belfast, and possibly the best of our entire Ireland/UK trip. We got the 3-course/£22 Curtain Call (served 4-6pm on Mon-Fri, and 2pm-6pm weekends) - highly recommend this as a way to experience so much of the amazing food at this restaurant at a very reasonable price (otherwise it can be a bit pricey for dinner). Everything here is local, fresh, sustainable, and most importantly, delicious. The Food: As I mentioned, we each got the 3 courses for £22, which ended up being a LOT of food - we were both stuffed. For appetizers we both got the crispy fried shortrib, which is served with a mustard mayo. Really well fried with a nice crunchy crust, and the mustard mayo really helped cut the richness from the shortrib. Well balanced and delicious dish. For the mains, we got the fish of the day (£3 supplemental charge) and Irish Steak, Guinness, and Bone Marrow Pie. The meat pie was really well done - a lovely and flaky crust, and really flavorful filling. I love the addition of bone marrow, it added a special richness and depth of flavor. A hearty and homey dish that they elevated, I was impressed. The pie came with a side of seasonal veggies, and even these were just so superbly cooked and packed with flavor in a way that lets the ingredient shine - I wish I could get my carrots to taste like that. The Fish of the Day was a grilled Atlantic sea bass, and it was perfect - crispy skin, really generous portion, and excellent flavor that let the fresh fish really shine. It came on a bed of freshly grilled veggies, mashed potatoes, and small prawns. It all came together for a wonderful dish- highly recommend trying whatever fish they have! For dessert, we got the sticky toffee pudding with salted caramel ice cream, and the vanilla pannacotta with poached rhubarb and shortbread cookie. DO NOT skip dessert - these were amazing! The sticky toffee pudding really stole the show - it was so good without being overly sweet. The pannacotta was also very good and delicate, with the rhubarb really complementing the dish well. But if you only get one, it's got to be the sticky toffee pudding - that was some of the best dessert I have ever had. Space and Pace: Really modern/industrial interior, with high ceilings - a very cool space to have a meal and/or coffee. It packs up around dinner time, but we got there right at 4pm for the Curtain Call (we had a flight to catch that evening) and it was quite empty. I would come back here for any occasion - date, hang out, or just a nice lunch. Service: Outstanding. Our server was so friendly, funny, and courteous. We ordered a pot of tea, and he refilled the hot water several times for us without our even asking. Great service and great recommendations. read more

This place is becoming too big for its bridges. The espresso martini was horrible. The jaw breaker, pink porn star, and Belfast Bumble were wonderful. The risotto was Ok, but was served with a stale and bland piece of bread. The bread and olive appetizer was good, but the Irish cheese was disgusting and had a horrible bitter taste. Again, maybe I am missing something here, but this didn't earn 5 stars in my opinion. Great service and ambience. I was going to give them one as a "calibration star", but my wife insisted on a three. read more

After checking out the Belfast city hall, came here for nibbles and our group of 3 shared - the Witty Comeback cocktail (tart and refreshing and quite strong!) - the chicken liver parfait with toast and chutney (lovely livers and superb chutney - it was fruit bread but it worked) Loved the service -friendly blokes, and quirky seating plus good food made it a winner in my eyes. Would recommend and revisit when back in Belfast. Note: #237 of Yelp 100 challenge for 2016 read more

For our first night in Belfast we let Yelp be our guide and hit a top spot near City Hall. We were not disappointed and at one time, when asked how the food was, I exclaimed "Unbelievable!" Which shocked the waiter but was the most appropriate word to describe our meal and experience. The decor is chic with a mix of old and new pulled together with ease. It is as though a grandchild moved in to grandmas house and modernized it while leaving most of grandmas things untouched. We had a prix fix menu at £21 for 3 courses which was underpriced and over executed. Each course elevated the experience and each plate had so many unique expressions it was like a fireworks grand finale where each item stood on its own and when combined was overwhelming. In short. . . If you go to Belfast and don't go to "Made In Belfast" . . . then go back. read more

Delicious food, friendly staff, great prices, what more can you ask for. We selected this restaurant based on reviews here and were rewarded with a wonderful lunch. I had the gluten free fish and chips (surprisingly good), friend had the burger and loved it. Staff were really friendly and recommended restaurants for dinner and other meals as well as suggesting things to do and places to visit. Will definitely return when back in Belfast. read more

This restaurant is a feast for the eyes and the mouth. It's a quirky, kitschy place that avoids my dreaded dropped hipster star because it rises to the level of whimsy rather than pretentiousness. They also donate money when you order certain dishes, like the cheese plate, to particular causes which makes them stand-up in my book. Now on to the food: It rocked. They have wild and wonderful cocktails and a good wine list too. Everything we tried, from appetizers to main courses to the desserts was exceptionally good. The wait staff was prompt, friendly, and Austin-weird worthy (a huge compliment if you've ever been to that part of Texas). It's off the beaten path in a large alleyway, but do not let that deter you, fellow tourists. If your hotel doesn't tell you to try this place, tell them. (And tell the restaurant you got this off of YELP. They don't get "Yelp" yet in this part of town.) read more

There isn't much left to say about Made In Belfast if you see the other reviews. It's a weird but wonderful restaurant hidden down a side street off Donegall Square West. (Beside the infamous Northern Bank) I hate to think how many people miss this absolute gem of a find. There's no where else like it in Belfast. It's totally random, individual and funky. There's complete attention to detail and excellent artistic talent. It's a place to bring visitors to. A few things about this restaurant make it one of my very favourite Belfast hot spots... Not only is all the food locally sourced, but all the pieces of furniture / decor are made in Belfast! This makes me very proud of both my city and its people. Look on the walls, see if you can see behind the chairs (yes, hanging off the walls) the slogan; what is a city but the people? Beautiful. I nearly choked on my food after seeing carved in to one of the tables 'I had crabs' - quality craic. The whole surrounding totally appeals to me giving off a strange but very good cool vibe. It's definitely not one to miss. read more

I liked Made In Belfast's hipster decor, everywhere looks pretty comfortable. Unfortunately despite the fact we'd booked we got a table that didn't have much space (not ideal when both people are very tall) but with a little bit of moving about it wasn't a big deal. We started strong with a special gin cocktail that was sweet but not sickly. The rest of the cocktail menu looked a bit tame to me, so worth checking the special. We had the house red cabernet sauvignon to drink, which to my limited palate seemed nice. Food wise we opted first for the baked cooleeney cheese to share. A twist on the classic baked camembert, the cheese was absolutely delicious. For some reason though it came with a massive loaf of bread that was impossible to finish, even with oil and balsamic vinegar and made the serving of cheese look paltry (which it was a little, between two). Also the bread wasn't actually that great, in my view, too dense (sourdough) for its purpose. For £10, this could be improved. Mains wise, my pork belly was great. Flavoursome, well-cooked and every element of the accompaniment was tasty and interesting. I would definitely recommend this dish. My dad enjoyed his flatiron steak although found it a tad chewy. He was ecstatic about his salted caramel and chocolate tart though, so all ended well. read more

Food was beautiful would definitely recommend, wasn't any spinach in it but I think I had an old menu. If you know food you'd be a fool not to visit this place. I walked 25mins to get to this place and it was worth every minute of the walk read more

I've enjoyed many a delicious meal at Made In Belfast over the years. Having not visited for a while I popped in tonight for dinner. I rate it as follows, which averages out at 3 stars overall: Cost = 3 stars: Two main courses, one bottle of wine and two cocktails cost £50 exactly. Service = 3 stars: Waiter was very slow to take our food and drink order. We sat with our menus for 15 minutes before we were asked if we wanted a drink. That as it may be, the staff were all very nice, just very busy. Drinks = 2 star: Italian Pinot Grigio (Bonotto Delle Tezze at £19 per bottle) was disappointing and more like Sauvignon Blanc. It was also quite yellow in colour, sharp, acidic and harsh on the palate. In hindsight I should have complained about it. However the passion fruit cocktails were tasty and it's great to see vegan wines clearly highlighted on a menu. Decor and atmosphere = 3 stars: The bohemian, shabby, mismatched chic look is one I like, but is getting a little tired. Busy, buzzing restaurant but tables are far too close together thus the overall feeling is cramped. Food = 4 stars: There are a few good vegetarian options on the menu however there could still be a few more and also some vegan options. I ordered a wild mushroom and black truffle risotto with focaccia which was delectable. Try it if you visit, it's rich, flavourful and delicious. read more

We spotted this place whilst wandering around the Cathedral Quarter of Belfast and haveing looked at the menu, decided that we would really like to eat there at some point over our weekend in the city. They have two Made in Belfast branches, one in the city centre and one in the Cathedral Quarter. They also have another restaurant called Strip Joint. We attempted to book for the Saturday night but it was pretty much fully booked. Instead we opted to go on Sunday night and managed to walk in and get a table straight away. The decor is really interesting, there are quirky little details everywhere that catch your eye everywhere you look (including a large red ostrich right by the door!). We ordered a cocktail each, all of them were really good and very reasonably priced. I opted for the fish and chips while the others went for the 1/2 a roast chicken dish on the specials menu that day. Our food arrived and we soon realised that the portions in this place are enormous! We all really enjoyed our food, but there was no way that any of us could finish our food! For that reason we declined the offer of desserts and rolled back to our hotel! I really enjoyed this place and will definitely be reserving a table (well in advance) for lunch or dinner when I organise my next trip to Belfast. read more

These guys have a few quality food-stops in Belfast, but this is my favourite. The seats may be mis-matched and sometimes uncomfortable and the decor busy by anyone's crazy spinster aunt's standards, but for me it rocks. They pride themselves on using local sustainable produce (recently winning sustainable restaurant of the year) and you can tell. I had the pork belly with potato cake and some sort of jus which was mouth watering, and actually just writing this makes me want one now. I also 'borrowed' a couple of my friend's chips and they were crispy as a crispy thing of joy. While the food is always good, if you are there check out the cocktails which at 5 quid a pop are good value, and don't judge me for having one for pudding. ;-) The fact I'm planning my next visit already says it all! read more

My husband and I checked this place out after having been told there was a long wait at a different restaurant. Made in Belfast said the same but still welcomed us in to sit, and got us started right away. My hubby is gluten-free so we were happy that they were able to accommodate. Everything here is farm-to-table and when I say amazing ..... I MEAN AMAZING!!!!!!! We had the chicken, carrots in a bacon mushroom sauce and it was incredible.... we didn't think that meal could be topped and then we had desert..... the cheesecake was gluten free and yummy.... but the Panacotta was the BEST DESERT I HAVE EVER HAD!!! Strawberries and balsamic.... with this amazing toffee crumble thing... I'm not sure what it was but it was the best.... if I could pack these up and take them to the states I would.... Thanks chefs and thanks waitstaff for making our spontaneous first night in Belfast a complete success and major food memory--- at a super cool joint might I add. Wonderful! read more

I have been here several times. I like to get a good feel for a place before I write a review. I have never had a bad experience here. They have an excellent gluten free selection and overall allergy awareness. I've been here for lunch and dinner. The portions are huge! You can eat off their "smalls" menu too if you're not looking for a big feed. Himself is a big fan of the steak sandwich. He says in all of our travels it's the best he has come across! The calamari club sandwich is amazing. They have gluten free bread and the calamari is done in a gluten free batter. A yummy lunch time splurge ;-) Their Fritto Misto (smalls menu) is divine. The garlicy lemony mayonnaise that comes with it is so moreish I never want to order anything else off the menu because this is just so yummy. I highly recommend a stop here if you are in Belfast I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more
