Cafe Red in Belfast

The best curry I had on my 2 1/2 week trip to Great Britan. The staff is wonderful. Can not say enough nice things about our experience. Tom from Saratoga Springs, NY

This is just perfect. Great coffee and food. Lovely service. Very good value for money. We loved it.

Awesome breakfast, great service, and staff. HIGHLY recommended by us. POP in, you will be very pleased.

After a 4 minute walk we stumbled across this place and I’m so glad we did. The breakfast hit the spot. It was so filling, I struggled to eat but because it was so nice I didn’t want to leave any. The 2 ladies there were so friendly, ensured we had everything we wanted an needed. The food was very tasty and cooked eggs to perfection.

Great little cafe run by two lovely ladies..Great service, great breakfast and all at a great price...did I mention how great this place is? If you are staying at Ibis I recommend skipping the breakfast there and crossing the road to Cafe Red.

We had breakfast every morning here during our 4 day trip to Belfast and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff are really friendly. We had the full fry up which was really tasty and a big plateful and also the porridge with fresh berries and honey which was yummy. Give this cafe a visit if you are in Belfast you will be made very welcome.

The best food we had the whole trip. We would definitely go back again. If this was the first place we’ve had eaten at the first day of our trip, we would’ve gone everyday for breakfast! The people working there were so friendly and helpful with any questions about the menu. The portions were great and the food was so fresh. It is a must stop for breakfast. Full with locals so you know it must be good. They might not have the same hype of some of the nearby places but they are by far the best.

Kerry and her staff were amazing. I stayed at the Ibis hotel nearby which was going through renovation at the time so they didn't have a restaurant and recommended to go to cafe red for breakfast. The food and drinks were of high quality, prices are fair and service is fast. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and there is a nice and cosy atmosphere inside. The place opens at 8am and on one day I had a tour booked for the early morning so Kerry suggested she will come 30 minutes earlier on that day and open up just for me so I could have my breakfast and coffee before the tour and she did come right on the time we agreed on. I travel a lot and I've been to 51 countries and it's not every day you meet people which are so nice and friendly and make your experience in a place unforgettable and Kerry was definitely doing it. Needles to say Kerry was also suggesting things for me to see and do in Belfast while I'm around. If you're ever in Belfast you must must must visit cafe red.

Ordered a bap with egg and cheese and a couple of iced Americanos. The service was quick and courteous, the bap was incredibly fresh and the espresso was quality. Top-notch morning takeaway.

Very nice and cool organised place, lovely food, excellent service. I would definitely recommend this cafe.

Great breakfasts at this wee local cafe. We stayed at the Ibis right next to it and went for breakfast everyday. Highly recommend. Good food great friendly service.

Stayed at the Ibis and popped in here for breakfast twice. Lovely Staff,good service and lovely food. Menu very good. No nonsense food at no nonsense prices. Going back to Belfast soon and will definitely drop in again 👍😉

Called in here for a Lunch The food and service was amazing! Will definitely be back again! Couldn’t fault the place

stayed at the ibis city centre and popped into cafe red for breakfast good prices and very tasty we were going on a coach trip for the day and they opend up early for us so we could have breakfast before we travelled very friendly would recommend to anyone

My Dad has raved about the Cafe for years! So first stop had to be Cafe Red.I had pancakes and bacon, Dad had a mini fry x 2! The coffee was so good and set us up for the day. Highly recommend!

Alojarse en el Ibis en Castle Street, esta pequeña joya de cafetería es perfecta para el desayuno y el almuerzo. Tuve la fritura tradicional (imagen de abajo) a la 1 pm (es un sábado, ¿por qué no?) Y una gran taza de té. Muy cálida bienvenida y un servicio oportuno del personal que es claramente feliz y eficiente. La comida era excelente, bien preparada, muy sabrosa y abundante, excelente relación calidad-precio en general. Regresaré!

Este lugar está a pocos pasos del hotel Ibis y qué agradable y pequeña cafetería. Cuando fui fue en su mayoría locales. Hacen un gran capuchino. Comí una hamburguesa para el almuerzo y tostadas en mi segunda visita. No proporcionaron ningún jarabe con la tostada francesa, pero eso estaba bien. El vaso de jugo de naranja era enorme. Precios muy razonables, gente muy agradable trabajadora. Comer local

Estábamos al otro lado de la calle, en el Hotel Ibis, pero no quieren pagar £8 por persona para el desayuno, así que una semana antes de nuestro viaje hice algunas investigaciones en Tripadvisor y encontré este lugar.Se lo recomendaría a una gran relación calidad-precio el desayuno irlandés. No puedo comentar sobre el almuerzos y cenas pero el desayuno era excelente relación calidad-precio mini fritos por el precio y se sirve en un muy amable y acogedor de señoritas. par Obviamente tienen sus clientes habituales como las mismas caras estaban allí por tres días consecutivos y también vimos con admiración esta mañana como la señora joven ayudó un caballero ciego en su asiento y tenía una agradable conversación con él.Incluso abrir 45 minutos más temprano para nosotros el domingo, así que podíamos desayunar en vez de coger un autobús de excursión.Un sobresaliente y muy recomendable si te alojas en el hotel Ibis en Castle Street. . .

Great chips decent price not to expensive well enjoyed Burger was a nice size and topping tasted really fresh

Es un poco poco prometedor, este lugar, pero la comida es fresca, rápida, sabrosa, barata y caliente.El servicio fue amable y relajado.Tuve huevo y patatas fritas aquí para el brunch dos veces durante mi estancia en Belfast y no me puedo quejar.Si estás buscando la experiencia perfecta de cuchara grasosa, aquí está.

Myself & 3 friends went here for breakfast on sat morning hav to say we all enjoyed our breakfast.It was lovely as usual can't wait to call again.

Belfast best breakfest always bussing and friendly ,fresh food and great crack ,handy to all belfast ,bus & train stations

My friend and I happened to pass the café and popped in for a late breakfast just after arriving in Belfast from the airport. Lovely freshly breakfast, very reasonably priced with a pot of tea...all for under £5.00 each...job done!

small café just around the corner from ibis hotel city centre four of went for breakfast I had the full ulster for a fiver it was excellent the others had the half ulster also good and a great price

Just a few steps fro the Ibis Hotel this place is great for late breakfast or brunch. Food is delish and great value!

My friend & I had breakfast here & the food was lovely.Staff are very friendly can't wait to visit again.Well done girls.

Great little cafe, ticks all the boxes, great staff, and service. Obviously the food was great as well, great value will deffinately be back again.

Stayed in the ibis & a friend recommended I should eat here, have to say it was the nicest breakfast I've had will def be back.

Buena comida y personal amable podría estar más limpio en mi opinión. Los precios son buenos, y dice que tienen 4 estrellas, pero la higiene y mesas y suelo menús estaban sucios

Descubierto este wee cafe en nuestra primera mañana estancia en Belfast. Cumplía todos los requisitos y alimentado tanto de un gran desayuno a un gran precio. Ahora es nuestra parada desayuno diario para el resto de nuestra estancia.

Been here a number of times and have always enjoyed the mini fry and americano for less than a fiver. On our last visit the cafe was extremely busy yet the service and quality of the food was top notch. Very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.

Freshly served - friendly service was so good and the food was freshly done at all times. been few times and it was excellent.

this café was good. Two members of staff lovely. Just wish I had taken the baps every day (although there was nothing wrong with the scrambled egg and toast I did choose or the fry my husband chose).

Glad we stumbled upon this place as the breakfast was excellent and good value for money. Friendly service too and the ladies welcomed their regular customers and new customers alike.

I think it was one of the worst we were even in.....the main course had no Veg or Chips everything was extra, a few more friends that were with me were going to walk out....one lady with us had soup and a little piece of bread she asked for Butter the waitress said that is extra.....

Always a pleasure popping in for the friendly service great value food and cute cafe atmosphere ! Great breakfasts here too, you won't be disappointed

Does what it says on the tin. Hearty brekky. Service is quick and friendly. We both had a mini fry which comes with soda bread/potato cake. Really nice! Cheap too

If your in castle street, there's no better way to start the day if you want some food, I went for the full Ulster fry, girlfriend had bacon and scrambled eggs, cooked to perfection, friendly staff and locals , no complaints, great value too!!a good local cafe

My first Irish breakfast, with soda bread and potato farls. yummy!Don’t bother with the expensive breakfast in the Ibis hotel just eat here.

My wife and i visited belfast for the week.Our hotel breakfast was to say the least not appealing. The cafe red was just along from hotel and we had breakfast there for 3 of the days we were there . service was excellent food was excellent and very cheap and cafe was very clean.staff were welcoming and all in all i would recommend this wee cafe to anyone in the castle treet area of belfast.

The best full Irish breakfast ! The soda bread and scones are amazing ! Always look forward to my breakfast when I visit Belfast at this great wee cafe ! Great food, lovely staff who actually remembered us from last 2 years in a row of visiting this cafe.

Idéal pour les clients de l'hôtel Ibis situé à 2 minutes.L'établissement n'ouvre qu'à partir de 9 heures.Le choix et le prix associé sont très corrects.Le jus d'orange est excellent.Nous y retournerons tous les matins pendant notre séjour.Je recommande.

Just a trip back to good old fashioned breakfasts. Always busy always full, great value ....What more can you want

Stayed in the Ibis and found this wee cafe for breakfast. Well worth a visit and mini breakfast is great value. Had the big breakfast on our last day and we were not disappointed. Everything made fresh and served hot.

Me and the wife came to belfast for St Patrick's and stayed in the ibis hotel which is opposite the cafe. We tried a fry there on our first day and safe to say we ate there every morning after that. The food is lovely and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Can highly recommend this as one of the best cafes in Belfast.

Great find,lovely staff with great food at fantastic value for money prices. A traditional fry is a real filler that should be tried,better vfm that hotel buffet breakfasts.

This is a great little café for brunch. Nice big portions, great coffee and fast service. Very good value also.

Our experience was as everyone else's here - cheery staff, good value, quick service, good food, generous portions. But take note that on weekdays it doesn't open until about 09:30. So if your idea of breakfast is something like 07:30, then this isn't the cafe for you. But if you can wait until half past nine for an Ulster fry to set you up for the day, and you're happy with the great British 'caff' with its classic fry-up and slightly sticky plastic tablecloths, you'll be happy at Cafe Red.

Had the famous potato bread here! lovely breakfast, sets you up for a good day. Cheap prices, fast and friendly service, nice cliental.

We had our breakfast here.......right beside the Hotel and their traditional breakfast is HUGE! prices great as well.

any time my wife and I stay at the Ibis hotel or at castle court we eat in the red café . . the food is freshly cooked the service is quick and !!!!!!! cheap !!!!!! but that's not the reason we eat there ,, food is lovely no greasy frys in red ,, we ate there sun/mon 16/17 feb I had 5 piece fry my wife had a bacon/mushroom omelette which she said was scrumptious ,, as for comments re milk left on table that's nonsense we jug of milk brought out when you order your tea coffee ,, 5 piece breaky tea toast my wifes omlette coffee toast all for £10 ..Tommy

café red is a small café we discovered after black taxi tour as it's close to their office in King Street. We had late brunch, full breakfast and fish and chips. Large portions and good fare. Very quickly served and friendly staff. Nothing spectacular but worth a visit if you're in the area and need a quick breakfast or lunch.

Le café red est l endroit idéal pour ceux qui sejournent a l hotel ibis. Un petit dejeuner brittanique de qualité à un prix très modique (comptez 4£ pour un petit dej complet). On ne peut que recommander.

Milk is left out on the table for all the kids to sneeze over.Food was average- bacon burnt, mushrooms tasteless, beans were tasty (Heinz! ;-) ), sausages were cheap and the fried egg is a fried egg! Nothing special but for £4.95 it does the trick.

I have no problems with the Ibis its a very good hotel and enjoyed my stay but the breakfast at Cafe red just round the corner from the Ibis is hard to beat . Freshly cooked and ridiculously cheap. Sahusage, bacon, egg and soda bread for £2.00 with a pot of tea coming to under £6 for two people set us up for the day.. Larger breakfasts are available.

What can I say, Lovely staff, wonderful food. stayed in the ibis next door, but got my breakfast here, a 5 piece breakfast for £2.50

stayed in the Ibis hotel, offering a breakfast for £7.50, got a full fry up with juice and toast in here for £5. Great service, very quick, delicious. Definitely recommend it!!

defo recommend food there staff friendly 2 secs away from ibis hotel food was lovely staff very helpful

We were there every morning from Friday 12th till Monday 15th.... Very quick service, great value for money and well cooked. Even opens on a Sunday from 9 till 1pm which was great for the hangover lol and only a few steps from the Ibis hotel which was great for us..... Will return when next in the city..... Cooked breakfast's were awesome

This small cafe is a perfect place to start your day with a breakfast. Cheap and plenty on the menu and pleasant staff and very popular.

Cafe very close to Ibis hotelLovely breakfast and good value for money5 items of breakfast for £2.50 very generous portions especially mushrooms

Tasty breakfast and a super value as the other reviews mention. It's about 30 paces from the front door of the Hotel Ibis, so this is the best option for breakfast if staying there. Wait staff was excellent and I think they have all day breakfast available.

Lovely staff, excellent value for money, quick service and freshly cooked, just round the corner from Ibis city centre, well worth a visit

Cafe red in the heart of castle street Belfast! Welcoming friendly staff and delicious food at quite the bargaining price at £2.50 for a 5 piece fry served all day! Definitly worth a visit!!

This has to be one of our best finds in Belfast. Tucked away at the top of Castle Street two doors down from IBIS Belfast Central..We were fed up of £8 , £9 , £10 breakfasts curling up under a heat lamp, so we gave it a try and have used it ever since. 20/24 coversneat little tables…. Clean cutlery and china.. And best of all….. Your selection cooked to order. Very tasty wonderful value ... A mini 5 piece Fry for £2.50 ..or a whopping full Ulster Fry for under £5 that will keep you going for the rest of the day .. Wonderful big mug of lovely coffee ... Fresh brewed tea.. Eat in or take away… Cooked by the very welcoming Kerry ably assisted out front by Laura.. Even if we dont see them for 6 to 12 months, we are recognised immediately and have a laugh and a joke.. Best of all ... They even open on a Sunday at 0930 while it seems the rest of Belfast recovers !.Whilst not in the most salubrious area once through those doors the locals chat with the visitors, always a bit of craic with the numerous trades people calling in for their take-aways and the area is least from your mind. Well done to all the team.
