44 Hill Street in Belfast

Nice bite in here price reflects quality

FABULOUS!!! Our host!✅️ The food!✅️ The service!✅️ Will definitely return! Flawless!

Top notch food with great settings and service.

Great food. Great selection of tapas. Reasonably priced. Service was good

Todas las comidas tienen un precio sin verduras o patatas fritas / puré que añaden £ 6 adicionales al precio mostrado. También tenga en cuenta que hay un cargo de servicio no discrecional del 10% que está en letra muy pequeña en la parte inferior del menú. No volvería.

Bonito restaurante en el centro de Belfast. La entrada al restaurante parece un restaurante en Sorrento, donde cuelgan limones de verdad. La ensalada mediterránea tenía muy pocos ingredientes, un aderezo débil y un huevo encima. Le sugiero que se familiarice con la cocina italiana si desea servir platos mediterráneos. Me gustaría agradecer a Trafford por su perfecto servicio.

Night vibe and food so great !!

Absolutely excellent dinner experience. The food was amazing. We had three tapas dishes for starters which were delicious. We have the cote de boeuf for our main course. This was the best we have ever tasted. The servers were all kind, happy and helpful. It was an excellent experience and one we will repeat when we return. Thank you 44 hill street.

Food and Service was nice. Chef/Owner was completely inappropriate came out to give feedback/shouting at the server in the middle of the restaurant!! Would have given excellent otherwise but I feel this should not happen!! Totally inappropriate.

Great attentive service, great atmosphere Brilliant food Fantastic steak, best ive had in years Fully recommend for couples or groups

Absolutely loved this place. Husband amd I stopped in for a little bite at lunchtime and ended going back for dinner with friends that evening. We had the meat sharing platter a few tapas dishes and a few side dishes. Food was excellent and the staff were really lovely. If we ever go back to Belfast I'd definitely head here for food.

William the mad French man was fabulous

4th time dining at 44 hill street and I absolutely love it in here. The food is absolutely unreal and the staff are always so attentive and friendly. This time we met Ayoub and he was absolutely lovely and very attentive and he was quite funny.

Really enjoyed our lovely dinner, great service and quality, and William really looked after us.

Food in 44 hill street is second to none, anytime I go I always go for the small plates and I would say this is the best tapas in Belfast. This time we meet ayoub who was very friendly and helpful. We will come again

Ordered the 44 Meat Board, fried Brie and the creamy garlic mussels and everything was great. It was seaneens first day and you wouldn’t have even known it as she was fantastic and we were shocked when she said! We were here before and the food, staff and service were as amazing this time as they were the last! Would recommend to anyone - especially the selection of tapas on offer too!

Great dinner. Highly recommend Ayouv v polite and helpful waiter

Ayoub served me tonight.. gentleman! Lovely evening with my girlfriends 😊

Got a walk in table for 8 during a busy Saturday night. Burgers where nice, manager was friendly, nice and low key resteraunt in one of the busiest areas for Belfast. Will come back

Food was tasty and nice but a little bit overpriced in my opinion. The service was awesome! Unfortunately we didn’t ask the name, but the waiter from Lithuania was really helpful and friendly, many thanks to him! If you are looking for the fancy dinner, this is a good place!:)

WOW !!! stumbled across this beautiful tapas restaurant... the staff were so welcoming and the food was to die for ... if I'm ever in Belfast again I will be coming back ... Its a must visit... 5*

Absolutely lovely french host kept us informed and engaged throughout, some of the nicest steak I've ever had. Will absolutely be back

The tapas here are lovely, especially the goats cheese. Very friendly and prompt service

I never do reviews, but this place is certainly worth the visit! Fantastic food and service all around.

Really wonderful time, the lavender honey was unique and beautiful

If you travel to Belfast... this is a must go!! Fantastic place to eat!! Highly recommended 🫶🏼

Great restaurant, spacious and comfortable with a varied menu and warm, light-hearted service

Lovely environment! Great customer service, and of course, the food was good.

Exceptional restaurant, food was great, staff really friendly and helpful. Highly recommend a visit. Cocktails were really good too

It was our 1st time in this restaurant. • Atmosphere: 4/5 because it was nice but simple decoration. • Service: 5/5 - it was long but the restaurant was very busy so it is understandable. The waiters/waitress were very nice and professional. • Food: 3/5. Very small portions and in my eyes, it was overpriced. The ice cream with the Baileys cheesecake tasted awful. Overall, not bad experience but not really a French restaurant (review written by a French reviewer). We will not be coming back.

Without doubt one of the most enjoyable evenings in Belfast. The food is just stunning and my compliments to the staff both friendly and attentive

We had a brilliant meal recently. Food excellent, service exceptional!

Super restaurant, top class food and excellent service. I will definitely be coming back, a must try for anyone who hasn't been. Sandwiches are incredible.

A great restaurant! Top notch service! The meat is super well prepared ❤️ Delicious beileys dessert Great welcome and great staff! With French music, a restaurant that is worth the detour! ❤️ French friends go for it!!! I love Ireland 🇮🇪X 🇫🇷 ❤️

Walked in just to see if a table was available to be ignored. when we asked the bar attendant if possible to have a table was spoken to very rudely and told that we had to go because we didn’t have a reservation in a VERY rude way. Where has the politeness and customer service disappeared to what a shame.

My overall experience was appalling, it started with the extreme ignorance from the owner. I asked about the ingredients in a certain dish, he rudely replied, which I was astounded at, we ordered food and 50mins past, we had to ask when we're we going to be served, food arrived, the tapas was cold, the bread stale,abd cold, and the garlic bread also cold, after asking the waiter is this how, you serve the bread COLD, he replied yes, again I was shocked, the foid was sent back barely touched, we asked for the bill, we asked to speak to the chef/ owner to be told he won't come out.. The service, the food, the overall experience was disappointing and food disgusting.

Head waiter/ Manager/ owner - French man - was aggressive and rude when taking order. Completely stunned us and ruined a rare family get together. Waited over an hour for “tapas” ( I use that term begrudgingly). Garlic bread and Bruschetta stale and cold. When we asked should it not be warm we were told it was freshly baked that morning. Inedible and not eaten. Patatas Bravas reminiscent of Tesco frozen potato cubes with mayonnaise and cheap chilli sauce . Truly awful excruciating experience which ruined our otherwise lovely day. Avoid this place unless you a masochist….

Very friendly staff and the food is really good. Definitely give it a try!

Fantastic French food, with the likes of Françoise Hardy, Jacques Dutronc, and Jacque Brel in the background 😊

Amazing food , lovely people and great vibes. The bar man is was so funny . He made our trip more laughable . Do try hopping in for delicious food and drinks with cute and friendly staffs around.

Food was outstanding, especially the pear pie! Beef main was beautiful and tender. We had a really friendly and funny server. Will definitely be back when next in Belfast.

We have been here for both an impromptu tapas meal and then came back for the sharing platter cote de beouf. We can honestly say we love it here. Relaxed atmosphere, great cocktails, fabulous food and great staff. It is our new favourite hidden gem in Belfast….if you haven’t found it do look out and give it a go!

Fabulous food and drinks. The servers were so friendly

Very nice atmosphere and great service. Food was wonderful. Chicken burger and cheese burger with Brie were outstanding. Veggies were unfortunately cooked a tad long…the ‘Irish way’ (but it was just a side dish, so that’s oke). For me this was by far the best place to eat during my stay in Belfast.

Where left sitting at table for 20 mins with no service( hadn’t ordered anything at this stage)asked waiter could we order drinks- told I don’t do it like that a serve one table until they are finished. So how long until we can get a drink “ about 10 mins” . We just left at this point. I am happy to wait on food but 30 mins before you are offered drinks not acceptable

While the staff were great we found that the quality of the food wasn't so great. It was also overpriced for what it was. This was the first time at 44 Hill Street and we won't be back.

Tuvimos la mejor experiencia aquí. Guillaume (el propietario) , Lucas, y Luke, fueron los mejores. Tuvimos unos cócteles fantásticos, a mi mujer le encantó lo pasado de moda y los hace todo el tiempo, y la comida era increíble. El aperitivo de queso de cabra frito estaba perfectamente hecho, al igual que los aros de cebolla. Los mejores aros de cebolla que hemos probado. Tenía el boeuf bourguigon y las patatas dauphinoise, ambos también genial. Gran ambiente, comida y personal.

Wow visited the restaurant last night everything was fantastic staff friendly service excellent nothing was too much trouble as for the food...exceptional full of flavour well cooked and presentation fantastic. Will definitely be back 5 stars

Llegamos en el último minuto como va a mostrar preguntamos camarero sobre el tiempo de servicio y nos aseguró que serían rápidos que estábamos en 5:30 y en todas partes en el barrio de la catedral estaba ocupado pedido filetes llegaron en poco tiempo y no decepcionó y el personal todo muy amable

The food was excellent, the staff were on it and super helpful with recommendations. This was an excellent spot for a Friday night dinner with friends!

Fuimos a cenar a este encantador restaurante - tenía una mezcla de una tabla de compartir y una variedad de platos de tapas entre tres de nosotros. La comida fue maravillosa. Teníamos costilla corta de res, vientre de cerdo, croquetas de chorizo y croquetas de eglefino. Personalmente me encantó la costilla corta y el cerdo. De postre tuvimos Bailey’s Cheescake que era increíble, Chocolate némesis que era excelente y crema brûlée. Los cócteles eran geniales también.

Excellent food, the beef short ribs are full of flavour, hummus is rich and fresh, fun atmosphere. Great service.

We went here for dinner and got a range of tapas. An interesting Mediterranean fusion style menu. Nice to have a few gluten-free options too. The food was tasty and the staff were welcoming. Would definitely recommend it!

Had a large group here. No problems, not a terrible wait. Did the matinee menu. 3 for £28. Malbec wine was tasty. Couple beer selections. Food was delicious. Mussels steak and chocolate cake. Couldn’t have asked for anything better! Would return!

A very nice looking place and one we were looking forward to trying. The staff were friendly and the prices reasonable but our meals had very little taste and were very disappointing. We really wanted to like it but unfortunately I think this was a first and last visit.

Excelente servicio. Acabo de comer bourguignon de res y mi marido comió lasaña de res y jamón. Deliciosa. Luego compartimos Bailey’s Cheese Cake. ¡Fue lo mejor que hemos tenido! Sin duda volveremos aquí si alguna vez de vuelta en Belfast

Great Quality food and service.

Taste overall 7/10 My friends and I got full set of Tapas; Portion with price 5/10; Service 8/10; Cleanness 10/10; vibe 10/10 the restaurant atmosphere is great

Decent enough with plenty of vegan and seafood options

Thank you for catering to my grandmother last night on her 80th birthday. You made it very special for us.

Good for tapas, had the pork belly bites which where beautiful and lovely small portions. Bit disappointed in the large options, server was good and didn't rush us.

We ordered a burger, the gnocchi and some fries. The orders were very small and the gnocchi was the worst I ever had. Very mushi and zero texture. It also contained lettuce on top, which obviously became warm and was not nice. The taste of the burger was ok, but it was way too expensive (£15) for the bun, a burger, a slice of tomato and a single leaf of lettuce. The waiter never came to ask if the food was good, so there was no possibility for feedback. We ate our dishes, but we left the restaurant very dissappointed.

We had a delicious meal at this delightful modern French restaurant in the heart of Belfast! Our server Lukas was attentive and the owner Guillaume was very warm and friendly. I highly recommend the Tapas dishes especially the pork belly and goat cheese croquettes.

Great dining experience. The food was wonderful. We had tapas and the portions were perfect. It was served in a timely way so all the food was hot and kept coming at just the right time. The wine was good, and the cocktails were perfect too. 44 Hill Street is a gem of a restaurant in a great spot for a night out in Belfast.

Went in after having tried other places on Hill St that unfortunately had their kitchens closed. Ordered quickly as noted a very large group of young men came in, sadly I wasn't alerted to the fact that their meals were preordered so we had to wait till they were all served their dinner. Beef bourguignon was quite tasty but my husband's steak though medium rare was more tough than it should've been and he really needed his steak knife to get through it. Sides of veges a total flop, broccoli a very insipid colour with overcooked carrot and some unusual potato type fingers mixed in that had obviously been boiled or steamed. I could've overlooked much of this had the bill not been so overpriced at £90 for three drinks and sad food.

After a long day of touring Northern Ireland, in Belfast, we sat down for lunch at 44 Hill Street at almost 5:00 pm, we were very well looked after, a cozy place, polite and attentive people. Everything was very tasty, from the starters to the main dishes, very well served and quite tasty. It was a rather pleasant find. Excellent value for money. $$

Food was good and served efficiently by motivated staff. The restaurant was busy for a Sunday but they managed to serve everyone. I would recommend this restaurant.

Food was delicious. Staff were really lovely. Will definitely return. Recommend the tapas pork belly.

After struggling to find somewhere that did vegetarian food we eventually stumbled on this place and decided we couldn’t be bothered going on much further. Glad we did cos the food was beautiful. Fairly decent range of vegetarian food. The meal I had was absolutely delicious, especially the dessert. The chocolate nemesis was stunning. Don’t expect to be rushed in here. Our server was under a load of pressure as it started to fill up but handled it well and was really lovely. Not the cheapest restaurant around, but everything provided was of a really high standard so you can live with paying a bit more than other places. Would definitely go again when I’m back in Belfast.

Quite mixed opinion. We have 3 dishes A perfectly cooked fish of the day, a cordon bleu taken for our daughter (in the absence of a children's menu offered) and a beef burger... I was very disappointed by the latter which was very small and served without ANY accompaniment and the beef is more than average (frozen?). The other 2 dishes had a mini side of salad. The value for money is not there.

First of all, the location and service are great. Orders were ready to eat in less than 15 minutes. The cordon bleu was very tasty and absolutely reasonable in price. The fries were absolutely horrible and way too overpriced for the quantity, but after complaints were made they were kindly removed from the bill immediately. The burger was certainly tasty, but very small and absolutely overpriced. In terms of food, I didn't have anything that stood out from the many other restaurants in the area.

it looks like the chef was on vacation...Price/quality is bad, I asked for a steak weld done and it got it medium, also the ratatoille was not good and not close to original dish. Calamary fritti was also not tasted.. in general expensive and bad meal..

The food was beautifully cooked and the wings were especially amazing! However, they might be short of hands when we were there, so we waited a little bit longer for our food and bills.

Delicious tapas! Best I’ve had in years! Highly recommend ! The pork belly was divine . Great service and a lovely atmosphere- can’t wait to go back :)

The best Tapas i‘ve ever eaten, the crispy pork belly chilli and garlic caramel was amazing👍🏼 Everytime again when i‘m here

My husband treated me to a beautiful meal, Colleen our waitress was so lovely couldn't have done enough for us! One slight problem with meal but she made sure this was resolved with no fuss, great spot will deffo be back! Only thing I probably would say it the service charge should be optional - however didn't make a big deal to me with great service and great food I was always going to be tipping.

Disappointing to say the least, there were two people in a serving capacity, the local lady who organized the drinks was lovely, however the gentleman who took our order and served the food was nothing less than indifferent. The automatic 10% gratuity is an insult, as he obviously knows that no one in their right mind would provide a tip. As an example, we had to hunt for our own cutlery on other tables!!! Took the order, dropped the food, disappeared, came back for the Visa card. Please do yourself a favour and skip this one.

Disappointing - service and steak and chicken wings good but tapas smoked Haddock no better than frozen Iceland stuff. Onion rings were overcooked and not very nice. Ambience and environment nice but 10% service charge added without asking. Not particularly impressed for £76.00.

Nice surroundings,the bar looks great. Staff friendly and efficient. Food is good, pre theatre menu is value for money. Drinks are expensive but no more so than most restaurants in the area

We stopped there for an early dinner as we were wandering around Commercial Court. Nice place, good service (Araz, I´m not sure I spell his name right, he is from Kurdistan, was really nice). I had the fish of the day and as side dish the dauphinoise, potatoes cutted and in a pile very well seasoned. Both were a great match. My husband chose a pasta, a very tasty carbonara. Good choice, great service and very good food.

Ambience, service and food is all very pleasing. The tapas is delicious, but the portions are tiny. 3 morcels per £5 serving. Pricey, but fun.

Food was ok, service was not great and staff were fine but not friendly or particularly helpful. Fine overall but wouldn’t be dying to go back.

Very good restaurant in Belfast

Had an absolutely amazing lunch here yesterday. The food and service are fantastic and the restaurant is beautifully decorated. A very good wine list. Would highly recommend the steak and dauphinoise potatoes and the creme brûlée was the best I have ever had.

Most yummy food in the world. Especially for the tapas and mush potatoes.

Service was amazing, food was amazing and great place to stop by for a bite steak arrived within 15 mins of ordering.

Beautiful food great restaurant

Myself and my husband had a beautiful meal With a lovely bottle of wine last Thursday evening highly recommended staff very friendly

We ordered a drink on arrival and nothing appeared at our table for nearly half an hour. Had to ask for menus. Food was average. We found it difficult to get the bill —a waiter who may have been French brushed us off saying that he was looking after other people. To conclude very poor service with an unpleasant atmosphere. There are lots of other nicer restaurants around the Cathedral quarter. We won’t be back.

The ambiance and staff were great. The tapas were really good - we loved the goat cheese croquettes with lavender honey and the crispy halloumi. The drinks were also nice, but the mains left a lot to be desired. We aren't usually picky, but the gnocchi was really flavourless and dry - I had to salt it quite a bit to make it palatable and only ate part of the portion, and I have never met a gnocchi I didn't like! My partner said his chicken cordon bleu was also really bland. If we go back, it would just be for some small plates. Also they do add a service charge automatically to the bill, even for a table of two, so be aware of that.

Lovely little place, delightful food, friendly and attentive service.

interesting restaurant with delicious food, highly recommended

Food excellent. Well cooked. Good selection of wines. Quiet which was a shame Hidden gem Worth a visit.hope to return soon

I've never been embarrassed in a restaurant as I was in this one. I arived with my husband and the French sir instead of directing us to a table, as there were many empty ones, he handed us the menu, pointed to the prices and left. He left us standing at the entrance for a long time. When he came back he asked us if we are going to order something. We really felt very undervalued, as if we didn't have money to pay. We ordered two burgers, mine with additional brie cheese, I paid £2 for 3 tiny cheese rectangles on top of the meat hahhaah how ridiculous. We never, ever step foot in this place again.

Great spot 1st time here won't be our last. Food was top class. Ignore other bad reviews. You pay for what you get and this was worth the money.

Arrived and front of house just stared at us until we spoke. Focaccia as starter was dry, mains - beef bourguignon was average at best, fish special was overcooked and dry. Dessert awful - cheesecake had a curdled texture and look, sticky toffee pudding was like a brick and ice cream was solid as a rock. We sent back desserts not a word was said of apology, they were however removed from bill. Left one person eating dessert on their own. Service wasn’t great, asked for water never arrived. Had to ask for cutlery at one point also. Extremely disappointing given the price. We weren’t asked once how the food was. There are many better places to eat. Edit on response: Thank you however, we wont be back both the food and service was extremely poor and a waste of money.

Lovely atmosphere and well-presented food. The service was mostly good; however, the staff were slow at clearing plates away, checking if we wanted additional drinks, and if we wanted dessert. The food looked beautiful and was overall nice, but maybe the gnocchi could be more flavorful. Also, the breads and hummus were a little disappointing; the bread wasn't fresh, and the hummus needed more seasoning. Other than that, the other meals were very tasty. The restaurant was busy and the manager seemed to be stressed every time he walked past our table, a smile and some cheerful engagement with his guests would be a nice addition

The food was very good. The restaurant was very cold, despite it being very mild outside. We asked them to put the heating on, but it made no difference. I have become concerned lately that staff in restaurants just pick up your card and tap it without showing you the machine that shows how much they are tapping for. This happened again tonight. That said, the food was lovely

Whilst the food was good, no complaints there, I'd reccomend that no one with children or any mobility issues comes here. Booked a table for 5 at 7pm (so not exactly late) and informed the restaurant well in advance that one of the 5 was a child and would need a highchair. Got to the restaurant and were put on a table of 4 with a highchair in the narrow walkway used by all staff and anyone heading to the toilet. Waiters were lifting hot food over the head of our child and, whilst we were waiting to be moved, a customer kicked the highchair when walking to their table. We moved ourselves to a safer table where the chair wasn't in a walkway but it was kicked again by a waiter trying to squeeze between tables. A wheelchair user or any one with mobility issues would not be able to fit in the restaurant as we were unable to bring a pram through the front entrance. I'd say the cramped nature and amount of covers would be a fire risk were there a need to evacuate. Won't be returning and wouldn't reccomend.

Great food tonight, service and atmosphere. Lots of young diligent wait staff even though the boss said it was busy and they would be slow. Glad to say he was wrong. Had a few tapas then the beef fillet and cod as mains. Good Guinness and even better French Martinis according to Mrs!! Will definitely be back.
