    Very cool restaurant when you hear its history. Came by here during our Game of Thrones tour. Food was great! I really enjoyed the pasta carbonara. My family orders the fish and chips and said it was amazing as well.

    Spinach and cheese tortellini!!

My wife and I passed The Pheasant every day as we travelled home from the festival. Today I got my chance to pop in...was I in for a treat. The interior decor is definitely period and works really well....check it out!!It has a great location and there is ample car parking. Absolutely superbly decked out inside and staff excellent. I went for the calamari and Caesar salad. When it arrived it was huge and delicious-the Caesar must have been the best (tastiest and creamiest) I've ever had. Calamari cooked to perfection and in a lightly spiced batter (I was expecting more).As a starter it was excellent value and big portion well presented. Will be back for more!!!!

I was lucky enough to have them cater my wedding and the food was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We had a beautiful chicken dish with a sweet potato side, and soup also to start, and a trio of mini-desserts to finish. My husband and I were allowed our own meals, I had sushi followed by duck, and he had steak and chips (he is a straighforward kind of guy!) We had an evening with the two sets of in-laws one night when we got to sample a selection of meals in order to choose our wedding menu. I've never felt so spoiled in all my life. The atmosphere was very special, and we were treated like royalty - the chef came out for a chat with us afterwards which was very thoughtful. Food just kept coming, delicious and beautifully presented, which wasn't a suprise considering the chef had recently left a job in the Ivy to come and work here. For our evening buffet they served us gourmet hot dogs and burgers from an open barbeque outside, with carmelised onions and relish - people went back several times! There was a vegetarian that we forgot was coming to the evening do, and they sent down to the restaurant to get her a selection of cheeses and bread - and they never even billed us for it. Angela who looked after us throughout our wedding was cool, calm and collected and made everything run like clockwork. I would highly recommend The Pheasant if you are looking for caterers for an event, and even for a special night out, the restaurant itself is perfect.

Every meal we have had here is an utter treat. The simple, modern presentation and flavour combinations are fantastic, but at the same time feel of the restaurant is more relaxed than you would usually find with such fine dining. I started with the fois gras and chicken liver, which was like velvet, following with the beef which was melt in your mouth. The highlight was the pudding which was textures of chocolate, worth the drive alone! Places like this don't tend to be cheap, and dinner for two could set you back £100 easily (but well worth it for special occasions). You still get to enjoy the amazing dishes on offer at a much lower price with a 3 course set menu for only £24! Make sure you book though, especially for Sunday lunch, as you don't want to get all the way out there to be told they're full, which has happened to us before. Just go, you won't be disappointed, and I'm already trying to work out when I can go back.

    Food here was very good. Nice modern dishes, with greens plucked from their own garden out back…read more The duck dish i got needed a little more work i felt, it was a little unblanced, the richness of the duck left me feeling a little heavy!

    Barking Dog Restaurant - beef shin burger is definitely not your average burger

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.

A very rich creamy sauce and the bread was drenched thus there was no textural contract making it sickly. Queenies...well queenies are queenies. Malaysian fish curry soup. Red curry with some tasty fish and a couple of shrimp. Again very heavy and creamy - no bread for contrast or a few noodles. Lastly beetroot over a creamy something piped with pesto around the side. The beetroot was overpowered by the creamy stuff. Again no bread to spread it on or anything to draw contrast - a parmesan crisp might have worked. I asked for more bread or crackers to mop up all these soupy things. Half a very small slice of "artisanal" bread was brought for which they charged me a squid fifty. Its a small cafe, very nice with a great view and some great ideas but 6 hours later my tummy is still reeling from those sauces. A lime and mint drink (soda chanh ) was delicious but beware two thirds of the glass was ice leaving a few inches for liquid. Fifty Five pounds, not bad but no need to go back.
