I had dinner at this restaurant 2 days in a row, and totally enjoyed both visits. The food was nicely presented and very well cooked. The service was very friendly and attentive. Out of all the dishes that I have tried there I can recommend ordering their market fish that is served whole on the bone. This was probably the only restaurant that cooked and served John Dory and Dover Sole whole on the bone, and they were unbelievably good. I highly recommend this restaurant.
I went there around 1 p.m. on a Sunday in July, I was seated on the terrace, an open terrace which gives a panoramic view of the market, the atmosphere was pleasant because it was not too warm.
I ordered "Whole Market fish on the bone, Roated fish Bone sauce, Market Vegetables, proper Chips."
The vegetables were cooked al dente zucchini, broccoli, peas...
The sole was roasted in a pan and lightly buttered, a bowl of fries accompanied the whole.
The whole dish was perfectly balanced, there was crunch, tenderness, softness... take the lemon and put a few drops on the fish, you will see this little tangy side will make everything divine.
I did not put 5 stars because even if I am very satisfied and I know how to recognize the efforts, it was too expensive I paid 35 pounds for this plate.
Reasonably 25 would have been more correct and appropriate.
Airy restaurant above the weekend market with fresh seafood.
Crubeens are excellent. The pig trots are tender and delightfully savory, wrapped in crispy shell. No need for the sauce :>
Prawn & Brown Crab Orzo tastes great. Bouncy shrimps and pasta, crunchy breadcrumbs and veggie. The crab is invisible though.
Market fish is Dover sole today. Tender and fresh. Love the grilled lemon.
Casserole comes with tender hake/cod and meaty monk fish, delicate mussels, and plump langoustines. Crab claws are missing again. Maybe the restaurant has run out of crabs today… (though we saw crabs for sale downstairs at the market earlier in the morning). The mayo is quite heavy for the sourdough. Perhaps it’s better to have it on the side.
Service is friendly and food comes fast. Glad that we made it before our Friday ferry.
Veal ravioli also sounds appetizing, and no time for desert today. Next time :)
Are 6 stars possible? Everything and everyone was amazing! The seafood casserole, while it was a bit of work for some of the shellfish, was fantastic. The wife had a roasted lamb rump dinner, and it was arguably better than mine! The lamb was cooked to absolute perfection. We finished off dinner with a chocolate tart and a lemon tart, both were superb and what would our final Irish dinner be without an Irish coffee!? Overall it was a fantastic meal and great way to close out our NI vacation. Kudos to Danny and his staff for such an amazing evening!
We enjoyed our lunch starters, pizza and the kids meals. Nice interior, pleasant ambience and service. Good for kids, too. They would go back 👍
Had a great experience in this restaurant, the quality of food was excellent and the ingredients put together had a really good taste!
First time I have ever been here, booked it this morning as having seen the menu was impressed.
We went into the restaurant to book this evening and the lovely lady that took our booking was most helpful, she even found out what fish was featuring on the menu that night and it was Dover Sole or Turbot for two...sold straight away.
The atmosphere, decor, service, and whole experience was superb and our waiter Nick was very entertaining, attentive and knew his job inside out, a true professional.
We both ordered the Dover Sole which came with perfect roast veg and chunky chips, the butter sauce complemented the fish perfectly.
I had the Pavlova with winter fruits and vanilla cream to follow which was delicious.
Have not experienced a perfect evenings dining like this for a very long time and would thoroughly recommend you dine here.
We are over from Manchester and I can honestly say they have nothing to match this experience there.
Went here for lunch. A bit pricy but the food is really good. We got the Wicklow venison and the roast beef and both are lovely and made just right with lots of flavors. The environment and ambience is classy but bright and relaxing at the same time. Lots of space between seating. Bathroom is nice and clean. Staff is friendly and welcoming.
We were coming for a birthday dinner to this place. All of us were very delighted with all the food and service we have received. All the courses we had for dinner ware just divine as well as the drinks. Very friendly and kind staff. Definitely worthy to visit if you’re ever in Belfast and want to grab a fancy dinner.
First time eating here and didn’t disappoint! John Dory for two, cooked whole on the bone. Served with a fish bone sauce, chips and market veg. Absolutely amazing- cooked perfectly and everything tasted beautiful! Staff were so friendly and knowledgeable and a real buzz about the place. Quite expensive but not at all pretentious which we loved. Def be back.
Excellent dinner here on a recent weekend in Belfast. The restaurant is perched above the St George Market, and great atmosphere with an open kitchen, Great service from the waiters etc.
The seafood soup with crabmeat on toast was amaxing. The chicken supreme with with confit leg with gnocchi ragu was...supreme! Would defintely go again.
Superb food and drinks (had the venison and an ‘oh mummy’ cocktail). Quick and friendly service - the staff are a credit to the restaurant. Bit of a hidden gem in Belfast and will certainly be back.
Great food with mains about £30. Thoughtful combinations and flavours. Excellent service and good range in the wine list.
Dined here on Saturday evening I had chicken spring rolls and sautéed chicken livers with black cherries my wife had scallop and crab soufflé both were excellent. We ordered the sirloin of boef sharing platter for two at £90. The vegetables and sides were excellent but the main event, the beef was perhaps one of the poorest cuts of meat I have ever had. We were offered a free dessert by way of an apology but we declined and the service charge was taken off the bill (which in essence punishes the staff with no tip) I tipped the waiter with cash as the service was really decent. I was, and remain very disappointed at being charged for the main course as it was not enjoyed nor finished.
I feel £40 for a bottle of red wine I can buy for £9 was over the top.
Had catch of the day. Half a Turbot on the bone. Perfect sides. Glass of Hugel Tradition. Hard to better.
I'm sure atmosphere picks up later, but I was a solitary early diner, there for the food!
Booked this as had a 1 hour stop as changing train at Belfast to Dublin. Although not on lunch menu till 12:30lm they happily obliged us with 3 starters; teriyaki mackerel, lobster & prawn bisque & a dressed grilled squid & almond plate, washed down with a pint of Guinness. Superb food & superb service. Thank you.
Great night out at Stock, I had the duck confit to start then the sole with gnocchi - top notch. My wife had scallops and then the fish casserole which she loved. We will definitely be back and would recommend! The wine selection is really good too, the NZ sauvignon blanc from an Irish producer is awesome.
