Absolute class! Had reservations issues due to a delayed flight, but they got us squared away.
Great appetizers (braised beef bon-bon is excellent) and loved the pan boxty.
Favorite meal during my UK trip!

I had the whipped goat?s cheese mousse to start, and it was incredible. The cheese was so smooth and light, paired perfectly with the pastry crisp. The real star was the balsamic-glazed beetroot. For my main, I went with the Vegetarian Boxty of the Day, which was hearty and satisfying without feeling heavy. Both dishes were delicious, but that starter might just be my new favourite.

Recommended by a colleague who used to study in Belfast and we were not disappointed! The seafood and beef boxty were both delicious and filled with ingredients. The seafood chowder was nice as well, very creamy and comforting. The beef bon-bon turned out to be a perfect starter for the party to share, nice texture and flavor. The mango rice pudding was fun to eat as well.

This was our first time trying Irish food, and it was absolutely amazing?rich in flavour and truly delicious. Knowing the restaurant?s popularity, we made sure to book a table in advance. We arrived a bit early, and there were already people waiting outside, which gave me a good feeling about what was to come.
The food did not disappoint. I particularly enjoyed the soup?it was fresh, flavourful, and comforting. The main courses were also excellent, especially the cottage pie. The flavours were bold and well-balanced, with a rich, savoury gravy that brought everything together beautifully. Every bite offered a satisfying combination of textures and tastes.
The only slight letdown was the Belfast lager, which I found a bit too sour for my taste. Those who enjoy Tiger beer might appreciate it more, but I would personally recommend sticking with Guinness?it?s a classic that never fails. I also sampled the Red Label whiskey, which was impressively strong and warming.
All in all, it was a fantastic experience, and I?ll definitely be coming back. Sending long-lasting love from Edinburgh!

Let me tell you, this restaurant was truly fabulous. Me and my cousin had a wonderful experience, the homely vibe of the restaurant, the friendly and chatty staff, always willing to help really blew this place out of the water, and i haven?t even mentioned the food yet!
Food - outstanding. I never knew what a boxty was but now I must have more and we were so pleasantly full afterwards. Thank you so much for welcoming us!

Wonderful staff and food. No draught beer but had some amazing bottles. Allowed us to dine a little late and was much appreciated. Had a wonderful time chatting with the staff.

10/10 amazing experience. We were warmly welcomed by the lovely people there. Boxty was delicious and service impeccable. The soup of the day was very tasty and we were amazed by the Guinness wheat bread, it was fantastic and we asked for a second slice, which they kindly offered us.

Really traditional Irish comfort food. Great wine knowledge and recommendations. Good collection of whiskeys. We had the beef boxty, chicken boxty, and vegan mushroom pie. Would definitely come here again.

It truly has a family owned and run feeling to it. Everyone was friendly and accommodating and went out of their way to put us at ease. The boxty was quite good (I can recommend the ham hock boxty in particular), and the wine list is solid.
