Excellent service and better food! We had the duck and the risotto, both were 10/10. Desserts finished off the evening perfectly!

A lovely and friendly restaurant in the centre of Belfast. I had Seafood Chowder to start, which was delicious and warming. The duck with cherry sauce and seasonal vegetables was a tasty and filling main. The wine was reasonably priced at £24 for a good Shiraz. Service was very friendly and efficient. Highly recommended.

We've been going here for years, always excellent service and delicious food. Lovely atmosphere, you never feel rushed and staff are so attentive and friendly. Would recommend for date nights, catch up with friends, family dinners, such good food and great drinks selection.

We had a delicious meal last night, from the Christmas menu. The staff were friendly and efficient, the food was hot, tasty and brought out in good time. Thank you Lantern for a great meal.
The lantern had been recommended to me by a work colleague. I wasn't looking for the Lantern but happened to pass it and remembered the recommendation. The restaurant staff were welcoming and friendly (especially as we were walk-in) and made us feel immediately at ease. The menu was selection was varied with something there for all tastes and dietary needs and in our case seasonal offerings. Despite the temptation of the seasonal Turkey & Ham I went for the duck and it was SUPERB! All of us complimented the food, highly recommended! I was given a recommendation for a local beer - Belfast Lager and it was a great beer especially with dinner - not too heavy. I have spent the last few hours trying to source some of the beer for the upcoming holiday. Can't recommend The Lantern highly enough, friendly staff, fantastic food (with a wide and varied selection) and great drink recommendation too at a very reasonable price! Enjoy...you won't regret trying The Lantern.

Such a lovely little restaurant that could be easily missed. We booked in last minute on Friday night. This was our first time eating here. With it being the festive season everywhere in Belfast was booked out. Wow, it is just a little hidden gem. The food was amazing and the service was top class. We had the Fishcake starters & Goats Cheese spring roll (a must try). Then the Seabass and the Shoulder of Beef for mains, both so full of flavour and all very reasonably priced. The owner was so friendly & welcoming. We will definitely be back again ??

This is small, vibrant restaurant with excellent food and service. We visited in December when there was the usual menu accompanied by a festive menu. The Christmas pudding and brandy sauce was the best I’ve tasted in a long time!
