Bistros in Belfast

“Excellent Sunday lunch for 3. We all had the slow-cooked beef brisket. It was delicious - as were the potatoes, veg and gravy. We tried the Key Lime tart and Cheesecake - both very tasty. Service was faultless. Brilliant background music too.
We also had a family birthday celebration here last week - 9 people hosted upstairs. All went very smoothly and the staff were amazing.”

“The restaurant from the front looks a bit dilapidated. Inside is a bit better but I think it's definitely time for a refurbish! That said, the meal was really good! We opted to skip the appetizers as most of them were fried. I ordered the salmon and my husband ordered the seabass. We ordered some wine and beer and got side salads with our entrees. The salad were good and simple. Both the fishes were really good. The dishes looked great and tasted super fresh and very well done! We opted against the dessert. The meal overall was very good!”

“Every time I come back home to Norn Iron I make a point of eating at Bistro Este.The food is always exceptional and today was no different - the tuna tartare and the chateau briande were magnificent. This is truely a great restaurant.”

“Very cosy pub and cheap prices.We asked for tap water with the pints and they’ve brought a jar and glasses with ice and lemon, much more than expected! Definitely coming back soon”

“Visit on Sep 27, 2024
Great service, ambience and the foods was great! Reservation is recommended, their menu changed from time to time”

“Owner was quite clearly intoxicated when taking bookings. Food exceptional however. EDIT - Owner has since employed severe intimidation tactics to give a 5 star review. AVOID if possible.”

“We booked in at the Stormont Hotel to stay when our flight got cancelled, but the experience including our dinner was so good that we were actually glad to stay another night!

We ordered the arancini for our starter which arrived within five minutes, it was still hot, delightfully crispy and balanced in all flavours.

We opted to order the steak, medium rare, along with sautéed greens and creamy champ as sides, and were not disappointed. Everything was cooked to perfection, and we cleaned our plates.

As we told our chefs, we recently went on a month's honeymoon to Argentina and ate some of the finest steaks in the world including at Michelin guide restaurants, and we genuinely found this in that league.

Will return with family! Thank you to the whole team, Aaron, Scott, Michael and Eve for your kind, friendly and professional service.”

“Superb. Amazing quality and tasting food. Top service. A wee gem in Belfast. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal”

“Hadn't been in Belfast for a long time and called in at the weekend. The Ulster fry still tastes the same, and that's the great thing about it! Made me miss God's country so much plus Debs and the team are superb! If I still lived there, I'd call in at least once a week! *****”
