Bellevue Arms in Antrim

Excellent food and service, will definitely be back.

Best spot for food never had a bad meal food always spot on.

Sea bass quite oily which spoilt the meal.

Nice place to eat the restaurant has a warm atmosphere and the food arrived at the table quickly! The food is also reasonably priced and tastey. Only issue we had is that the service really wasn't all that great. Think some continuity during service would be great and would minimise issues. We were served by 4 or 5 different people throughout and as a result we were struggling to get the attention of the staff.

Went there this evening with my 2 sons (18 & 15) for my birthday and have not been to the Bellevue in over a year. Decor is nice but food was not great and very expensive and tiny portions. Steak (no way was 10oz) was nothing special, a handful of chips; about 6 tiny mushrooms and a cold tomato.....was £30. All in all (with a drink each) it was over £100 for mediocre food. Very disappointed

Went here at weekend and dinner was served cold not be back and my young boy got a dinner and said it was just like school dinner bill came to £72 TERRIBLE....

Lovely food, polite staff, nice views.

My family & I eat in this restaurant frequently. One of the best places to eat in North Belfast 🤎

Gorgeous food, lovely staff, friendly place

Fast, friendly, efficient service. Staff are a credit to this establishment. Great views. Portion sizes are huge and best about is the prices, really not hard to pay at all. Highly recommended.

We were in Belfast for two days and we visited because we were staying in the area. The first day we went to the restaurant and, as we really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, we decided to repeat the next day but in the pub. We went to the pub on a Saturday late night and there was live music and a very good atmosphere, so the experience was fantastic and we left with very good memories of both visits.

good food, but very busy usually if you go while its peak time then you will be asked to wait, or they will tell you to finish before a certain time, which is what happened in my case, we had around 50 minute, except it was so busy that the food didnt come for around 40 minutes which left us no time to eat, but in the end it was fine.

The restaurant is very spacious. The staff were really friendly and knowledgeable regarding gluten free options on the menu.

Always lively atmosphere, staff have always been pleasant and friendly. Decent Guinness at a decent price.

Had a fabulous meal here...sea bass, shrimp, mashed potatoes covered with sauce. Maria was a wonderful, attentive server. Highly recommend.

Been quite a few times never had a bad meal, good prices with a decent wee view over Newtownabbey

What a strange experience the Bellevue Arms remains...one of my previous visit came during lockdown and found the outside seating nice enough. Changes have taken place inside. We first sat in the public bar area and left to escape the nagging, annoying noise of multiple unattended kids who presumably had their own booth as a regular wanted their own uninterrupted session. The main other part of the pub we escaped to used to have more of a restaurant vibe, on this occasion the handful of customers who were sitting down trying to enjoy a quiet pint/drink were greeted with noisy dance music and a disco ball for no apparent reason. Basically the whole vibe feels wrong here.

This is our third visit and the food is beautiful everytime. Staff are very friendly and thr place is spotless

Place is freezing, table booked for half 6 wasnt taken till 15mins later was seated and now still sitting 1 hr 45 mins later waiting on main course, four other couples/partys came in behind us and were served before us also had two waitresses come up and ask had we not received are meal yet!! 19.50 meal was giving to us 20.09 left....was stinking my husband steak still raw when he asked well done gammon came some state like someone else got to it first could barely eat it!!!! Left more hungry than when we went in WONT BE BACK

Not been here in years, took the wife and son out for dinner. Nice, clean and modern, the food was simply delicious and the service exceptional. Highly recommend this venue. Great friendly atmosphere, well done and thank you.

beautiful food beautiful service, thank u Kieanna for a lovely dining experience 😻

Well tasty food an friendly staff had a lovely afternoon

Waiters grummpy table not the cleanest food not nice at all WONT BE BACK

Good bar Good pints and choice off drink. Good friendly staff. Food good.

Great pub and atmosphere. I only stopped for a pint as I have been meaning to for years. Will try the restaurant at a later stage and look forward to it.

Food good but slow to come out. Staff excellent and a buzz about the place.

Tasty food, pleasant atmosphere, great service, cold beer. If you are nearby, be sure to check out this excellent option.

Great place to meet for a drink or a bite to eat. Amazing modern atmosphere.

Great service . The waiters are very helpful and pleasant. Good was delicious.

if they did game of pool and a paint, or burger pool and pint deal, wings might get more in during week

The food was not to my liking rest if company loved it

My wife and I went for lunch today. Had the roast beef dinner and chicken carbonara. Dee-licious. Lovely atmosphere and attentive service. Will be back. Worth every penny.

Great pub friendly atmosphere great if you want to watch sports they got it dancing in the other bar and a cracking restaurant upstairs.

Food was amazing. Hot, good portion tasted fantastic and staff attentive and warm But had really loud music on like a disco and this wasn't a main bar. Also was fairly empty except for one bloke letting his toddler run screaming around the place, annoying others. Was going to stay for drinks otherwise. It's a really lovely building but I noticed as well that the dress code was really below par.

Food was delicious service great

Haven’t a clue who is managing the booking system. Our table was booked for 6:15pm. Some people arrived around 5:55pm and by 6 they were pushing to know when the rest were arriving. By 6:10 they were pushing us to order as the kitchen was closing at 7 and the chef wanted the orders in. We had to order ahead of the rest arriving. They arrived at 6:15pm and the staff were insisting they were late. Literally felt rushed as soon as we arrived. I’m not dead on time stamps but if they’re being militant on time then I’ll state the times precisely. Also, the meals were £28 for two courses when on a normal menu it equates to £21.50. Terrible service. Will not be going again.

Lovely staff. Very polite and helpful. Food was lovely and plenty of it. Much improved from my last review. Will go again for sure. Update: we've been back loads of times and every time it's been great!! Keep up the good work Bellevue team. Update: 24 Mar 2024 - set two course menu. For was still nice, but for one course £19.99 which is a fair bit more than what we would've paid a few months ago. Still a pleasant experience.

Delicious food and 5 Star customer service.

Good food, great service, attentive staff. Recommended.

Our service was excellent and faultless and friendly. A pleasure to attend and would recommend a visit to anyone. I would happily return when I come back to Ireland

Been a good few times food is always excellent, as our staff couldn't beat it 1 of the best all-around. Value for money as well if you haven't tried there food your missing out.

Had Sunday dinner here last week. Two courses for £23.95. Excellent value and the food was top notch! We hadn’t booked but luckily managed to squeeze us in. Also ate here just before Christmas, the festive burger was lovely. Would definitely recommend.

Was here for the first time on Wednesday Night. The place is lovely and clean. The food was lovely and decent size portions. They also offer Gluten free options which was great as my partner is cealiac The staff were very friendly and very attentive will definitely be back again soon.

Staff were very helpful and friendly, but the food was bland, I was talked into going here as I stopped eating there many years ago for the same reason, for me it has not changed, so I guess it will never change, and microwave Apple Pie yuck to follow.

Staff make this place .very friendly and helpful.

Hadn't been to the place in maybe 20 years as I live out of the country but overhead someone saying good things about it. I have to say I was expecting better. The restaurant is nicely laid out and staff 👌 I have to say though the food let it down a bit. My wife's chicken gouijons In batter and our chips and garlic potatoes could have been cooked a bit longer whereas my seabass, although nice enough was overcooked. Reasonably priced but would necessarily rush back.

Amazing food and great service.

Waited over 30 minutes for drinks when they came they were flat,no one came to check on us to see how everything was, when leaving to pay the bill we were given the wrong bill and paid for that bill to them be told it was in orrrrct and still had more to pay, with all the inconvenience we were offered one desert to take away considering there was 5 of us, the manager wasn’t much help and all the staff seemed under trained and laxadaisy,won’t be back

Very good good, good pints and good vibe. Can't ask for much more, prices was reasonable aswel👍

Great friendly staff. Say at the wrong table at first. Maybe too many staff, often lined up close to our table and felt like we were being watched while eating. Plates removed very quickly. Asked for the bill but wasn't told just to go to the bar and pay for it, sat for ages waiting and had to ask again. Good was delicious!

Great place ,staff were very welcoming had quick drink downstairs in bar ,then upto the restaurant where we had booked a table for the 3 of us,great views as we were lucky to have a window seat ,again great customer service I had the garlic mushrooms with salad which was very good portion tasted great,and had the turkey ham roast with mash vegetables and roast potatoes, gravy which was lovely too highly recommend if in the area.many thanks.😉❤️

Great grub at reasonable prices. Staff very attentive

We went here for a family meal a few days after my grandad’s funeral. The food was really lovely and the portions were great for the price, we had the Sunday menu £20 for starter and main course. The customer service was great, the staff were very attentive and really friendly and nice to deal with. We really enjoyed our meal. The only issue was that a party of around 22 people were sat behind us and were very loud and boisterous, it made it difficult to hear each other and ruined the atmosphere a bit. If parties of that size had been seated in a private function room or something like that it would have solved that problem, but we can’t fault the food, the prices, or the service we received, it was great.

Had lunch there today, all the food was beautiful as usual, and really reasonably priced.

One of our favourite places to eat. The staff are warm welcoming and friendly. The food is delicious and priced well. Always a pleasure to dine there.

Friendly staff excellent service and food ar goo price

Lovely service food was excellent. nice clean,relaxed atmosphere, definitely be back we haven't been back for 5 years we won't be leaving it so long next time.

Can't say much about the place just called in for a pint had a snack and went

Went here with my partner and had a great time! The food was a bit expensive but everything was delicious and the cocktails were amazing and they don’t over-ice them either (Classic mojito and mixed berry bramble pictured). The staff are all so friendly too; our servers were Maria and Chantelle and they were the sweetest ladies ever <3.

Lovely place, went there with my partner and they were very accommodating of us being on the autism spectrum. Service was incredible, so attentive and friendly. The food was a bit expensive but you got so much, it was nice. It’s a cute aesthetic little place with nice lighting/views

Food just really let the place down, from chicken caesar to gammon, nothing felt cooked right, nor did it really feel fresh after being over cooked. For the price there's loads of better quality out there sadly.

Always loved the Bellevue but unfortunately the menu no longer caters well for vegetarians/vegans. Was there last night and there was literally one option for me, a veggie burger only suitable for vegetarians not vegans. I asked the waitress if there was anything else I could have, she asked the chef and he said “No” so a veggie burger it was! They used to do a really nice vegetable lasagne and mushroom stroganoff. It seems very lazy to have one vegetarian item on the menu in this day and age, no vegan option. Also no lift so my friend had to take my son out of the buggy and lift him up the stairs whilst I carried up the very heavy pram. Service was good and food arrived promptly.

Great place for food and a drink it's old style pub with loads of atmosphere

We were early for our table, waiting on 2 others. The waitress actually gave us a warning that if the other 2 didn't arrive soon the kitchen was closing. Our table was booked for 6.15 because I was advised that the kitchen closed at 7pm. We received the 'warning' at 6.10pm as the other 2 guests were arriving. Not a very nice welcome and delivered sternly. The restaurant was incredibly noisy. Very hard to have a conversation. The food was excellent and served very promptly but even the 20 year olds with us complained about the general noise.

Called in on a spur of a moment for lunch. We were seated very quickly. Staff very friendly. Food didn't take long coming after ordering. Absolutely delicious. Unfortunately didn't have a dessert as was too stuffed 😤 Will definitely go back again.

Delicious food, excellent value (especially on a Sunday, 2 courses for £19.95), attentive and friendly staff and service is speedy.

I was there with my family, my sister's 60th, so about 12 of us, the staff where great friendly and very helpful, got seated right away, drinks ordered and menu's were given. Everyone had something different and we waited, for the food to come , one by one everyone's food came , then mine arrived, I had ordered The Bellybuster burger, without cheese as I hate the stuff, I watched as my food was put down Infront of me and guess what , it had cheese on it, so I said to the waitress about the cheese and it was taken away, so after what seemed like an age my order came, by now I was so hungry I would have eaten the shoe off my foot!!! But I can honestly say it was great worth the wait.

Nice to get of the bar menu and sit outside,nicely decorated with a summer look

The perfect place for " ladies who Lunch " Hadn't been there in 15 yrs, wasn't disappointed, everything was A1. Apart from the weather, .... Nothing they could have done about that. will definitely be back Soon.

Lovely restaurant nice choice of food set menu as was Sunday the pub underneath was busy too nice selection of drinks staff staff very pleasant 😀

We went there for a birthday celebration the food very good as was the service too

Firstly, the service was pretty good. The area doesn't offer much unless you go into Belfast itself. Upstairs restaurant was drafty, quite cold and the roof was leaking in at least 2 places. Not particularly inviting but not the worst. We ordered the steak sandwich. The chips and sauce were perfect as was the chiabatta but the steak, although tasty, was most fat and grizzle than actual meat. Not too expensive but I doubt we would come back.

The inside is not for couples as it has big tables and booths. But I must say that the food was great.

They found us a table on a busy Saturday night without prior booking. The meal was lovely and staff very friendly.

Food was excellent and decent service. Gents toilets were disgusting though. Needs modernised.

Brendan, Christine and Marie were absolutely fabulous and couldn't do enough for us! Will be back again

Absolutely diabolical from start to finish !! Thought the server was away to the coke factory for 4 drinks, the other drinks came 20 mins after the 1st ones. When they arrived the server smashed 2 glasses and the waitress tried to brush the shards...

First time customer but always heard of the place. It's definitely better inside than it looks outside, especially if you were to sit by the window. Ordered starters and mains to come together and everything was fantastic. So much food and everything tasted great. Friendly...

Extremely disappointed on a special occasion. Service was poor as staff were more concerned with other tables. We also waited almost an hour for food to arrive. One meal had to be returned as it was cold, vegetable side order was soggy carrots and waterlogged...

Hi, Went to Bellevue arms restaurant for my elderly mum's birthday. Just like to say we bad a beautiful meal at a very inexpensive price. The staff were very helpful and the ambience very welcoming and I would recommend to anyone without hesitation!!

Absolutely amazing food, really nice restaurant to dine in, it’s not a smart casual place but more of a relaxed family restaurant plus the waitress who took our orders was fantastic, (she was young-Black hair, maybe late teens, I didn’t get her name) but she was very polite well mannered and very professional at her job and really caring to every need, definitely needs some recognition for her job - I’d recommend this place over and over again, down side, it did get a bit nippy to the end of our time there, as if the heating had been switched off, but it could of just been because of the weather outside, but definitely a 10/10. Highly recommend.

This place had a lovely atmosphere about it and the staff were warm and freindly. I ordered the vegetarian lasagne not expecting very much as this restaurant is more “meat with veg” dishes but I was very pleasantly surprised. It was the nicest vegetarian lasagna I have ever had and the garlic potatoes on the side were delicious also. I would definitely recommend this. Portions were large also.

Food is very nice. Come here regularly. Always go for garlic sautéed potatoes with pepper sauce chicken and it is to die for. Staff very pleasant, helpful and nice

We went to the Bellevue for Sunday lunch an I have to say the place does look well, but that’s were it ends. It has been many years since I was last there and it will be many more years before I go back. The restaurant was full an the staff were plenty but doing nothing when we ask for a drink we were told go get it yourself as they were to busy serving the food. This I done and when I got to the bar there were 5 staff standing there doing nothing. When we food came it was nice but the side orders were not, the chips were cooked to quick and were hard so were the garlic potatoes. The veg was presented in small bowls but it looked like the left overs that were scraped together. The side dishes should never have left the kitchen in that state. The children got even larger chips they were under cooked too. An were left on the plate. All in all the food was let down by simple issues and the service poor. If you want well cooked food go else where.

Went here after a recommendation. Glad I did . Very friendly accommodating staff. Very reasonably priced menu . Tables were very spacious. Food was absolutely 1st class nothing could be faulted. Will definitely be making a return visit.

Very disappointed with our experience tonight in the Bellevue. Firstly I asked if I could order something from the normal a la carte menu but was told no. Then I ordered the lamb shank to be told they had none left. I also asked for some tobacco onions but they apparently don't do them on a Sunday ??? I then ordered banoffee pie for dessert and my son wanted chocolate fudge cake but alas they said the chocolate cake was finished. The waiter then returned to say that they had run out of banoffee. We left feeling very disappointed that from such a limited menu, they were unable to provide several things on the menu. This is the first time I haven't tipped after my meal and it is not a reflection on the table staff but rather a problem with the organisation and management of such a busy restaurant. The Sunday menu is limited enough, never mind not having several items on the menu. I won't be rushing back.

Went to the Bellevue arms for some lunch after not being here in years. I have to say i was not disappointed. Once we sat down and got our menus i looked to see there was no vegan options but after speaking to a member of staff who was more than helpful, i was presented with 3 options. I choice the veggie fajitas and was not disappointed ! There was so much food i couldn't finish it all ! The food is really delicious but the only comment i would make is for the restaurant to add the vegan / veggie options to their menu. Can't wait to return.

Just had worst breakfast ever, burnt potato and overcooked bacon. Sent back the rock hard egg to receive an even worse one. Left without finishing after finding hair under the bacon, paid the bill and waitress must have been to embarrassed to ask if everything was okay, it's a pity theres no option to give a 0 rating, save yourself a headache and make the 5 minute trip down the Antrim Road to Nouvelle Cuisine/The fort.
