“ The food was outstanding and the service was great. We got the 3-course option with spiced beef appetizer, cheese curds, chicken penne, mushroom risotto, Eaton mess, and apple rhubarb crumble and we loved everything! Our server Anna was very attentive. 10/10 would come back. ”

“ My mother and I are visiting the city from the US and this place has been the most exceptional. We both ordered the two course pre-theatre menu, with the salmon and the steak. My salmon was cooked to perfection and the starters are the best either of us have had in all of Ireland. The white wine sauce is to die for. Truly phenomenal service. Anna, our server, was kind, attentive, and super accommodating. Cannot recommend this place enough. Will be returning when we make it back to Belfast! ”

“ Had a meal in this restaurant last Tuesday. Even though they had a big party of 70 people to cater for we were not neglected in any way. The food was exceptional specially the seabass, we were also given a complimentary starter. I have dietary restrictions and l was very well looked after. And what can l say about the staff, super efficient, friendly and very attentive. Will definitely be back on my next visit to Belfast ”

“ Wonderful food and warm atmosphere. Chili beef starter, Salmon on mash potato main followed by sticky toffee pudding and coffee. All thoroughly enjoyable and nothing wasted. Compliments to waiter Sam who courteously took care of our every need and to the chef for high quality, tasty food. Restaurant not licensed so remember to bring your own wine. ”

“ Street Restaurant, Belfast — and Wow, Did They Deliver! From first bite to last, this was a meal to remember. We kicked things off with a trio of standout starters: • Thai Chilli Beef – crispy, spicy perfection that packed a punch • Crispy Fishcakes – golden on the outside, flaky on the inside, paired with a dreamy black pepper mayo • Goat’s Cheese Fritters – rich, creamy, and completely addictive (yes, they’re as good as they sound) For mains, the Slow-cooked Beef Brisket was an absolute winner. Melt-in-the-mouth tender with deep, rich flavour—an easy 10/10. And then came the pan-seared salmon. Just wow. Perfectly cooked with a crisp skin and moist, flaky flesh, it was served atop a rich, velvety cream sauce with vibrant greens, smoky chorizo, sun-dried tomatoes and buttery mash. Finished with a fresh lemon wedge and pea shoots, it had that zingy lift that made every bite sing. My wife won’t stop going on about this dish. Her words? “Amazing. Faultless.” (And I have to agree.) For dessert, we treated ourselves to two indulgent classics: • Sticky Toffee Pudding – rich, sticky, and generously soaked in butterscotch sauce, topped with creamy vanilla ice cream and a fresh strawberry • Lemon Posset – smooth, tangy, and utterly refreshing, finished with berry compote and served alongside a scoop of ice cream in a sweet little ramekin This meal struck the perfect balance between hearty and fresh, sweet and savoury—a properly satisfying experience worth repeating. Honestly, the salmon alone is reason enough to come back. Highly recommend Hope Street Restaurant if you’re after proper flavour, warm vibes, and beautifully presented. This place is a MUST VISIT when your in Belfast! ”

“ Delicious food! We also got a complimentary starter. The only thing is the ventilation of the restaurant can be better. Quite smoky inside the restaurant which made our eyes tearing ( also our clothes smelly afterwards) ”

“ The place provides a BYO service, so you can bring your wine for example, pretty cool idea - not so common where I live. Cozy, intimate with a very good selection of classical music. About the food: we ordered Thai Chili and Goat fritters as starters, both pretty delicious. For the main course we asked the Pork Belly and Daube of Beef and again the quality surprised both of us, the first was tender and the latter was so juicy! We were both full of food and to our surprise, as a compliment from the chef, we were appreciated with a delicious sticky toffee pudding! Highly recommended!!! ”

“ Myself and the wife went to The Opera House on Friday, we weren’t able to get to a restaurant prior to the show starting as I was working in Dublin that day so too tight to make anywhere. At the interval of the show I was really hungry lol, I went on line to see what restaurants were close to us, I seen Hope Street and phoned them and asked about the possibility of a table for 2 at 9.30pm. The girl said they would make it work for us!! I noticed it was B.Y.O. So when we left the show I went straight to the Tescos Express across the street and grabbed a bottle of red and walked the short distance to the restaurant. The service was really good, atmosphere was perfect, the food was delicious and very well priced. I had Thai Beef for starter and pork belly for main. The missus had Goats Cheese for starter and Chicken Supreme for main. The entire bill was like 65. Exceptional value, I throughly recommend this place and look forward to eating there again Thanks again to the staff for accommodating us, great work. ”
