Vegetarian café with great food and ambiance (4.5/5 Green Stars)…read more We stopped here en route to Carlingford on a friend's recommendation and all three of us were very happy we did. The place is lovely - the café is filled with light and plants and the surroundings are beautiful. Mum is a picky eater but she relished the mushroom quiche and finished the entire piece even though it was huge! (Seriously - about three times the size of portions elsewhere.) My brother loved his herbed rice bowl and I liked the organic porridge with fruit and the pistachio plum cake. The only kink was that several items arrived much later than the food - the coffees, bread, and honey for my porridge (I had already finished my porridge by then). The store is filled with great stuff - fresh fruit and veg, and a good selection of some of the most ethical products. Weirdly, the Strandfield website contains no info other than an address, so you have to rely on reviews to get info in advance. The lunch menu is mostly comprised of sourdough pizza, salads (including a quinoa bowl and herbed rice bowl), and sandwiches - see menu photo. There are also lots of bakery items, including freshly baked scones, cakes and wheaten bread (which was really good - I bought one to take home). I'm giving Strandfield café 4.5 out of 5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, for these reasons: · I didn't actually notice at the time but the menu is 100% vegetarian! · Strandfield uses free range eggs from their own farm. · My porridge was made with organic oats · Flowers and plants in the café come from Stranfield's own nursery · The grocer sources local and organic fruits and vegetables along free range eggs, and organic health foods · The store stocks a really good selection of ethical goods - I could do most of my shopping here if I lived here. · Strandfield would benefit from providing more info (on the website or menu) on ingredient sourcing.

Delicious food at great prices!…read more I've had the sandwiches/wraps with a side salad and chips. Can never finish my food as the portion sizes are quite big. Not that that's a negative. I've tried Jackie's burger and its to die for! Would highly recommend it to any burger lovers out there. The decor is lovely and quaint. I just wish they would move to a bigger building as they are so popular and if you don't get there at the right time there are no tables left empty :)

With out doubt one of the best sandwich shops in the centre of Belfast. These guys really do the…read morebasics very well when it comes to the sandwich. Unlike most other city centre locations they don't mess around with hot sandwiches or paninis etc.. They keep it simple by offering an unreal selection of high quality fresh fillings and salads. The portion sizes are ridiculous (in a good way) they pile so much in it's hard to see how they make any money! My personal fav it's their club sandwich, this easily the biggest sandwich you can buy in Belfast, it's costs just over a fiver but would easily do two people. Along side the quality produce and massive portions the service is second to none. Bob and Christine run it and their banter alone is worth a visit, a nice touch is also the fact they give you a free apple with every sandwich for a healthy desert.

Was here at lunchtime and well impressed. I got a chicken and stuffing sandwich on granary with…read morelettuce and tomato. Then I realised that all salads are free and they fairly fill up the sandwiches and salad bowls look immense. They don't do toasties or hot food. All food is extremely fresh and you can see them chopping up all the vegetables behind, and the chicken is freshly cooked chicken breast not pre-cut frozen bags. Family run friendly business, and great to see these still exist and are going strong. You even get a wee bag of harbio on leaving - be warned he doesn't let you leave unless you take one!!

It's easy to miss Bolands Sandwich Bar because of its location on Duke Lane…read more But people should seek this place out. It provides the simple service of sandwiches, pretty run of the mill sandwiches at that. But they are fast and the sandwiches are extremely great value. Today I got a chicken and stuffing on white, which was pre-made and ready to go from their fridge. In and out super quick. It wasn't a gourmet or artisan sandwich, but for what it was it was pretty good. I really enjoyed it too. The best part, it cost 2.80 EUR. But the standard was much higher than than the price suggests. They also have a counter down the back where you can have your sandwich made to your own liking. Highly recommended.

I miss this place, I MISS THIS PLACE. I wish we had something like it back home…read more Atmosphere: Large airy room with lots of natural light and mix and match tables. You order at the counter where you have a menu on the wall or small menus to look at that they have at the counter. Service: Great service, the staff we worked with was so friendly and personable. They took great care in putting our sandwiches together and made it a memorable experience (considering I'm thinking about this place and its 2 months later). Food: That Lombardi though. I'd eat that sandwich every DAY if I could. The bread had great texture, the ingredients were fresh, the flavors were all over and it was a symphony in a sandwich. Writing this review has me salivating just thinking about it. If we ever make our way back to Dublin, hitting this place up for a sandwich no matter what.

Great for plant-based peeps! (4/5 Green Stars) Have been…read moregoing to Bare Food for a few years now and by brother is a regular there. If you need convincing of the bare food ethos (explained on their website) then just try their scone. It's vegan and made with dried fruit and nuts to replace the refined sugar that you'll normally encounter. It's definitely more nutritious than a regular scone and also won't result in a sugar crash. Anyway, the food and coffee at Bare Food don't disappoint and staff members are always friendly. Café seating, both inside and in the laneway, is comfy. A good place to spend some time. I'm giving Bare Food 4/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact for the following reasons: · Lots of vegan and vegetarian options (veggie sausage, tofu can sub for chicken in most dishes, vegan pastries, vegan butter). Eating a mostly plant-based diet is the #1 thing you can do to save the planet. · Tea is from Tea Pigs (a B-Corporation, plant-based packaging, member of ethical tea partnership) and coffee is from 8thCorner (sometimes organic) · Kombucha from SynerChi, made from organic tea in Donegal. Smoothies are made fresh, to order. · Compostable cups, but I do wish they could provide ceramic and glass for customers who sit out in the lane (A strange rule for Covid, I guess, even though it's not spread by touch). · Would like to see organic food, or some info about sourcing on the menu.

The eggs were light and fluffy, the cheese was soft and smoky, and the sourdough bread was chewy but also toasty. The sandwich was quite big. I wasn't sure I would finish it, but quickly did after the first bite. The hours at this cafe are variable. They do not have a website listing the hours, and Google and Yelp cannot consistently keep up with their hours as they change on a whim. Currently, the hours listed on their board says Monday-Friday 8:30AM-3:00PM, but it was not open this past Monday when I walked by. They serve breakfast from 8:30AM-10:30AM and lunch 12PM-3:00PM. It's probably best to call first to see if they are open. Hope this helps!

Looks like Sandyford Ind.

Stopped in for lunch on one of the opening days and tbh was a little bit manic but that just down to finding feet, have been in since and things have calmed down. The first thing you notice when you enter is the woodfire pizza oven! then you'll start to pick up on how trendy the building is.. if Pizza isn't your thing the mosey on over to the sandwich counter and purchase a very tasty sambo.. My person favourite is the Roast Chicken & Stuffing sambo, ask for it to be toasted! nom nom & very filling which is great value at €6.95! Once again another welcome addition to the Sandyford area..
