This place is a MUST!!

We found Darcy's on Yelp on our first night in Belfast, and it was a wonderful start to our visit…read more A small, charming two story restaurant, they were accommodating and able to seat us without a reservation upstairs. The server was somehow managing all of the tables while still maintaining a sweet attitude. We had a couple well made cocktails to start and their mussels (special). As the first I've had in the area, I'm not sure if this is typical of the area, but they were fantastic. Floating in a creamy sauce that can be sopped up with brown bread. (And Irish butter, which is just so much better. If only there was a way to take home to the States!). We also had the goat cheese croquettes in truffle honey. Delicious and a bit sweet, this would also have been substituted for dessert. My friend and I shared the rack of lamb. The meat was fall off the bone, on mash, gravy, and pea purée, topped with crispy onions. Lovely meal, great introduction to Belfast!

During the time I visited, it wasn't very packed so I was seated swiftly. The kind staff accommodated my request to get a corner table. The vibe can be describe is a classic. I really enjoyed all the dark stained wood furniture - gave it such an "old Irish saloon" vibe...maybe because it is haha. I did not have much time to spend in Belfast, so I tried to taste as many traditional dishes as possible with being just one person. With that being said, I ordered a few of their notable dishes - Crown Bar Irish Stew, Steak & Ale Pie, and to finish it off, the Sticky Toffee Pudding served with both the custard and ice cream (really thankful the server offered to give me two toppings, and they were both delicious). All the dishes were great, and are definitely hearty. The stew as well as the pie filling had a rich roux - nice, thick and flavorful. I will say, the pie pastry was not as flaky as I would have liked it; kind of too thick. Overall, it was a great taste of Ireland

I'm not the biggest fan of buffalo chicken, butttt the chicken was flavorful and the perfect amount of crisp. My sinuses are also super clear now so I've got that going for me, haha. Fries were tasty and service was friendly/pretty quick! Nice place to stop by if you want to grab a bite for pretty reasonable (city) prices!

We did a cursory search and found this place a few blocks from where we are staying…read more We didn't have a reservation and no tables meant we had to come back at 8 when there would be room for us. We opted for the 3 course Christmas menu; I had the fish cake at the waiter's suggestion over the chowder, sea bass, and sticky toffee bread pudding. My honey had the goat cheese fritters, bang bang chicken dinner portion, and the tiramisu. The fish cake seemed more mash than fish but had lovely flavors melding. I loved the tenderness of the sea bass and mixture of flavors with the veg. The sticky toffee bread pudding was a delight, with a brûlée top and complimentary scoop of ice cream and a dab of berry sauce. The tiramisu was equally delicious, with another surprise of berry in the middle. The sound gets as loud as any place we've been and it's difficult to hear across the table, but we otherwise enjoyed our meal here and are grateful to have some yelp references again.

I've had my fair share of memorable burgers from coast to coast in America, but just glancing at a picture of the beef shin burger transports me back across the pond to the Barking Dog. I remember the few days I spent in Belfast fondly and of the many memories, my meal at the Barking Dog was a definite highlight. In a rather quaint and charming neighborhood, I took a nice short stroll from my Airbnb and came across this gem of an establishment and decided I had to check it out. I had a nice beer to start, and it wasn't a Guinness because stouts aren't my thing, but whatever it was I remember it being excellent and local. Undoubtedly you could make this place a regular haunt and there is no shortage of drinks and food options to make this a go-to for a date, celebration, or a quick meal. The staff are welcoming, kind, and helpful and the general atmosphere is chill. The food for me was ethereal - a burger isn't just a burger here and what you get when you bite into the beef shin burger is a little slice of Heaven. Moist and tender are a given but the taste is just so divine with the caramelized onion, cheddar, and horseradish mayo melding into an union of perfection. It's hard not to describe one of the most memorable meals of my life in such hyperbole but the vivid recall I have of this particular place is uncanny and merits all the praise I can heap upon the fine folks that run the place. If timing had worked out, I would have eaten as meals here as I could have but I'll thank my lucky stars for at least giving me one opportunity to eat such a wonderful burger at such a wonderful eatery. A+ and a definite must when visiting Belfast.

There was a 10/15 minute wait for a table but that was grand after all its sunday morning brunch time. I ordered the best of the market breakfast (see pic) and asked for my tea to be served at the same time. Food came out quickly but I didnt get asked if I wanted any condiments, had to ask myself. I was about half way through breakfast as well before I had to remind them id also ordered a tea. This came without milk so had to ask for that too. So the food itself was good, ive had better, ive had worse. I didnt like the very crispy slice of fried soda, personally I prefer a nice soft soda farl to mop up sauces and egg. Potato bread was ok and the rest nice but not mind blowing. Overall its not bad. Lovely setting, friendly, if not forgetful staff. Id come back but ive had better breakfasts. Maybe try a lunch or a dinner next time.

If you can manage to get a balcony table overlooking the market whilst live music is in full swing…read morethen George's Of The Market is one of the best place in Belfast for breakfast or lunch. I visited yesterday (Saturday 14.05.2016) with my sister and we had an extremely enjoyable leisurely lunch sitting on said balcony, watching bustling St George's Market, soaking up atmosphere and listening to wonderful live music. Service was good and there were a few Vegetarian options on the menu. It's a pity these Vegetarian dishes aren't more clearly marked with a (V) plus a few more Vegetarian dishes would be great, but at least they are there. Caroline S ordered a Veggie Breakfast (£6.75) which was the most impressive looking Vegetarian Fry I've ever seen, plus she assured me it tasted fantastic. I opted for a pasta dish with butternut squash, walnuts, onion and rosemary (£6.95). Delicious food in generous portions at reasonable prices. We managed to work our way through glasses of Pinot Grigio, Rose and Prosecco. St George's Market Bar and Grill also do the most amazing pure apple juice and Prosecco cocktail which we thought the best Prosecco based cocktail we have ever tried. Most of the restaurant ingredients are fresh and local, coming from the market itself. We arrived at just before 1pm and stayed until after 3pm as we had such a wonderful time there. Even inside this restaurant is beautiful due to natural light coming through a skylight rooftop, however the best tables are definitely on the balcony. I'm already plotting my return...

The food was mid and the atmosphere was less than desirable. I hate to give poor reviews and yet it's necessary for this one. We actually left disappointed overall. The fish and chips were just ok as was the sausage and mash. The frickles were unimpressive and most of our group didn't care for the hummus (plus the bread was just 2 thin tortillas that had been toasted and cut). The chili chicken was decent but nothing to rave about and the calamari type dish was just bland. Maybe we caught them on an off night but if that's the case I would think the servers could step up and at least be friendly. Most staffers looked the other way or were just not accommodating.
