Coast is probably the closest place to eat from where I live, apart from my kitchen that is, which…read moreusage has decreased week on week. Anyway, enough about me, back to Coast. Coast is a favourite of many local Holywood residents and trust me these residents know their food. The interior decor is simple yet extremely effective, there seems to be a focus on what they serve rather than what the place looks like, not that it's shabby inside, far from it. It's plush decor stands the test of time. It's not huge inside so if you want to visit I would suggest booking, especially at the weekend. They have recently placed a few tables outside so alfresco dining is now an option. Food wise it's excellent. Being so close to the sea I would suggest opting for seafood and would recommend trying their mussels in white wine and garlic sauce along with fresh ciabatta, for dipping of course. Coast is fully licensed so you can grab a glass of wine to accompany your food - the wine list is pretty extensive. The staff are great, there's a good mix of experienced servers as well as those who are taking up part time roles between their studies but don't worry the service never changes - top class! Can't recommend Coast enough - the bill won't break the bank but you'll feel like it should cost more than it does!

The best cupcakes in the world…read more They don't have a huge choice. They add ones here and there during the year at seasonal times. I'm not a big fan of choc cake. So I tend to avoid those cupcakes. They also do mini cupcakes. They bake to order cupcakes and cakes for all occasions. Some of my fave cupcakes are white choc and raspberry,rhubarb and custard and honey bun. The staff are super helpful and nice. If you have not tried here you have not lived !!!

I first tried J Birds little cakes of joy when a box arrived to the office as a gift from a happy…read moreclient, and the staff descended like starving scavengers, the entire box demolished to sounds of mmmmmm in mere seconds. That was a while ago, and when a friend reminded me of it the other day I was compelled to visit the actual shop under the pretence of getting the other half a treat. OK, I wanted a treat, but a good deed is still a good deed. The ladies were lovely and full of chat as I tried to decide what to go for, which considering we are just talking cupcakes not career choices, it was surprisingly difficult. I decided on 3 chocolate ones- a chocolate raspberry, a salted caramel chocolate and a raspberry chocolate. Don't ask me to choose my favourite, as they all were. Moist with a little surprising gooey centre on the caramel and raspberry ones they were flawless. The other half felt the same, leading me to believe that this is a little treat he wants me to repeat, so looks like J Bird will be getting a lot more of my pocket money in the future, not that I'm complaining...

My friends and I were staying close by at the Global Village hostel and on our last morning in…read moreBelfast, we were craving a good sit down brunch. We hopped on Yelp and saw that French Village was just down the street, so we just walked on over. For a Saturday morning it was quite busy, but we were lucky to get a table for 4 people right away. They have a pretty standard breakfast menu with your typical french toast, pancakes, bagel, hash, scrambled eggs, etc. Between the four of us, we pretty much ordered the whole menu, which was great because that means I got to try a bit of everything. For myself I ordered the bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon. It was good, but I don't think it was exactly what I was feeling that morning. I really enjoyed bites of their raspberry & white chocolate pancakes and frech toast though. I'd definitely recommend that if you've got a sweet tooth. On top of that, we got an assortment of different coffees and smoothies at our table. I went for a soy milk latte for myself and a strawberry banana smoothie. Both hit the spot perfectly. Service was a little spotty. Our waters were never really refilled (and on a hungover morning, endless water is a necessity), and our server looked a bit angry to be there. The manager came around to see how everything was doing though, which was great! They have a bakery on the other side of the restaurant (where you go to pay), and have an assortment of macarons, muffins, and other baked goods. Before we left, we got a small box of macarons to share and they were lovely! I can't remember all the flavours we got, but everything I tried was delicious. If you're in the University area, definitely a good spot to check out for a nice breakfast.

The shop is located about 50 yards from Shaftsbury square, so is handy to anyone living or operating around Botanic or the Dublin road. If you are wanting a luxurious place to stay in, think again.The inside is small, but has sitting room for about ten, with seats outside for whenever the weather is good, or when people are feeling particularly brave in the Belfast winter! However most people are going to be taking food away,a dn that is where Flour Power comes into its own. it makes its delicious fillings on site.For example, it's succulent chicken tikka is real marinated, high quality fare compared to the guff from a tub you get in most places! There are a wide range of wraps, baguettes, rolls, salads and melts on offer, and the courteous staff, controlled by the owner Jonny will provide you with what you need with an infectious warmth and genuine enthusiasm. The business name is also a beautful pun. That is for me the icing on a most delicious cake!
