    Duck on mashed potato
    by Bilimari
    This place is a part of the Benedict's Hotel, and there is a pub below the restaurant.

    They had a special promotion called "Beat The Clock". It runs 7 days a week from 5:30pm to 7:30pm. The time you order is the price you pay. We ordered right at 5:30pm, which means the price of our meal was just 5.50/each!

    Note that not all dishes are part of the promotion. Look for a clock symbol on the menu.

    I had Duck with mashed potato. (See photo.)
    The portion was very big, but it was so tasty, I finished it!

    Tables were placed in widely open space.
    Nice jazz BGM, and good selection of beer and wine.

    I had Chicken strips with Thai flavored noodle (6.95).
    It was spicy and good.

  • Owned by a genuine Sicilian and sister restaurant to the long standing but recently refurbished Villa Italia, Scallini serves the best pizza in Belfast. The menu is wide and will cater for all tastes from Steak and chips to fine pasta dishes.
    The decor is flamboyantly Italian and worth a visit alone.

    For me the starter would be the Rigatoni Scalini (pasta in a tomato, cream and brandy sauce with bacon. They will do a starter portion of any of the pasta dishes if you ask) and a Picante pizza for main course. Those with elasticated waistlines, should order the Fudge nut sundae. Ask them nicely and they will make it with honeycomb ice cream instead of vanilla (tell them I sent you!). Sooo much nicer

    Isibeals cafe: A hearty Ulster Fry in Belfast city centre

    Isibeals cafe, Belfast
    by SWFC_Fan, 2 more photos
    My friend and I ate breakfast at Isibeals cafe during our weekend visit to Belfast in July 2008.

    After an early morning flight, we dumped our bags at the hotel and set off into Belfast city centre in search of a much needed fry up – and in particular, the famous Northern Irish Ulster Fry!

    Wandering down High Street on a bleak and rainy summer’s morning, we spotted the menu board outside Isibeals advertising the object of our desires. A standard Ulster Fry could be had for 2.70 GBP, but after our overnight journey it was the King Size Fry at 3.90 GBP that appealed to us!

    We sat at a wooden table inside this warm and friendly café and placed our order with the smiling waitress. After a short wait, our plates of sausage (x2), bacon (several rashers), fried eggs (x2), mushrooms, tomato, potato bread and soda bread arrived at our table. The greasy fry up was much appreciated and we devoured our breakfasts pretty quickly, but eating an Ulster Fry every day wouldn’t be a very healthy idea!

    I washed my breakfast down with a glass of fresh orange juice (1 GBP), while my friend had a coffee (same price) with his.

    Other breakfast options are available, including scrambled eggs on toast, bacon sandwiches and healthier options, while lunchtime options include fish and chips.

    A friendly café serving the hearty “Ulster Fry”. Highly recommended!

    The restaurant is a converted warehouse in the cathedral quarter. There is a small bar area at the entrance and the main dining room is seperated from the kitchen by a glass wall so you can see your meals taking shape.

    I dined here on several occasions and cannot recommend it highly enough.

    All ingredients are sourced locally where possible and the menu changes regularly.

    Great dining everytime so difficult to pickout a favourite.

    Common Grounds: My Favourite Cafe in Belfast!
  • Tip Rating:

  • Common Grounds Cafe is my favourite cafe because it ticks all the boxes for what I like in a cafe. It is located in an old Victorian building with brick walls and wooden floors. The food is delicious and freshly prepared every time, the coffee and chocolate are all Fair Trade and, best of all, it is non-profit! All profits go to a nominated charity that changes regularly (it is posted on a wall just inside the door).

    Common Grounds gets very busy at lunch time so if you are thinking of having lunch there, aim to go early (11.30am ish) or later (2pm ish). There are tables outside so on dry days you can sit and watch the world (or at least the students) go by. Occasionally there is live music there in the evenings.

    I have never had anything bad here. The soups are delicious and home made. The sandwiches are made with large slabs of fresh bread (white, granary or tomato) and lots of delicious and sometimes unusual fillings. My favourite combination is brie, bacon and cranberry on the granary bread.

    Hot food is available until 8pm and is mainly vegetarian. I highly recommend the spinach and feta pie. The coffees are all well made and nice and hot - I am surprised at how many places in Belfast serve luke warm coffee - and you can request soy milk as a dairy alternative.

    Desserts, well, let me just say you should be sure and leave room for them. Chocolate cake, carrot cake and - my favourite - cinnamon scones. These are more like a cinnamon roll made with scone dough - really yummy! Be sure to get it hot with butter melting on top.

  • We went here for our christmas meal, and it is another restaurant in Belfast we have always wanted to try.

    Its theatrically decorated inside, the toilets reminded me of a theatrical old dressing room. The menu is reasonably priced, and they offer a pre-theatre menu that is a good deal. They also have a good drinks selection (could order midori for the first time in ages lol).

    The food was great, really filling, and a little bit fancy but not pretentious, makes you feel a bit more fancy eating there though.

    They have their full menu and some great pictures on their website.

    I loved the dessert, baileys cheese cake with a caramel sauce. The main pasta course was good as well, and I heard they did the steak well also.

  • Dont be mislead by the fact this place sits on top of a petrol station.

    Typical dodgy Indian restaurant decor and music (no offence indented to anyone who may take offence at such things), but superb food cooked by a bloke who lives in our Mews.
    I defy you to find better this side of India.

    Call me a large tart, but their Chicken Tikka Korma is to die for.
    Try their Tandori mix for starters, washed down with a Tiger beer.

  • This is probably best termed a gastropub but I'm sure the owner Nelson would hate the term.

    Set on the shore in Holywood it is well worth the journey with many a fine dish. Bookings are recommended on weekends for the upstairs but food is served downstairs wherever you can find a space.

    Also recommended by CAMRA for it's beer.

    Sweet Chilli Chicken Salad is always excellent as is the terriaki chicken.
