City Picnic in Belfast

Went here for the first time since is opened a long time ago. Has changed alot. Went in with my family and they gave us a table with plenty of space for our pram and high chair which is good. Food was nice. Chips were the best part of it. Only thing I will say is... While it got crowded, it was hard to push the pram out of the restaurant. Might need some changes there.

Our server, Mahir, was lovely and the chips and cocktails are delicious!

Really wanted to like this place ! We got the two pizzas and cocktails deal on Thursday. Unfortunately the pizzas weren’t nice at all and one of them was smothered in oil… it was honestly disgusting. Didn’t eat half of either before disposing of them. The strawberry daiquiris were just crap. I’d say it’s good value for money but it isn’t. I would much prefer buying two goodfellas pizzas from Tesco and some pre mixed cocktail cans. The servers were so lovely… especially Mahir! What lovely, attentive staff members you have. It’s a real shame that they can’t take pride in the food/drink they are serving.

Food and service, all are top notch... Thanks to Mahir & Rivan...

Fantastic food and being Gluten free was great to have different gluten free options

Fine. Only had coffee. Nice coffee.

Went on a girl's night. The cocktails were amazing, especially the pornstar martinis. We got lots of food for the table which included pizza, nachos and the chicken strips. Food was class. Lovely atmosphere and staff were so friendly. A good experience!

Had a girl's night, filled with lots of cocktails and delicious food. Lovely vibes and the staff were very accommodating.

The food’s always fresh, packed with flavor, and comes out fast! So many cool cocktails to choose from too. Definitely one of my go to spots in Belfast!

Estábamos de compras en la ciudad y decidimos ir de picnic a la ciudad que hemos querido probar aquí durante siglos. Hamburguesas y cócteles es un combo! Tomamos unos cócteles. El servicio y la comida era 10 / 10 sin duda volveremos pronto! ¡Creo que fueron Jess y Afnan quienes nos estaban sirviendo! Volveré a probar más cócteles

Loved the atmosphere of the place,staff so helpful,food was delicious definitely be visiting again the next time I'm in Belfast

Food was exceptional especially the deal on for students on Thursday we got two pizzas and they were the best I’ve had in a long time. Cocktails were also great too! 10/10

Food was awful got chicken strips which didn't even have much chicken in them the garlic fries came out cold but the lady did change them so they came out fresh but no taste of garlic of them.. Got the pocket pizzas there was a few bits of bacon in them mostly the fat got a chicken salad and it was mostly lettuce it all came to £47 which definitely wasn't worth it got warm delutued juice which was £4.. Staff where lovely but definitely wouldn't go back not worth it..

Great spot for a meal before a night out. Food was delicious and service was quick. The Big Smoke burger was huge and very reasonbly priced. A lovely relaxed setting too without being overly dressy which we loved. Will definitely be back for more.

Comida y bebidas irreales siempre el primer lugar al que vamos cuando estamos en Belfast! 10 / 10 ambiente es siempre fabuloso, el almuerzo y la cena es increíble! Muy recomendable

Unreal food and drinks always the first place we go to when we are in Belfast! 10/10 x

Such a cool place for Drinks and the Food is amazing !!

Mahir the absolute goat deserves a raise PLEASE

Yummy, yummy, yummy. Really cool dining spot, I love the urban feel of the interior and the menu is very diverse itself. The food was absolutely worth it too. Can get a bit more than a bit busy, but what do you expect from a restaurant smack bang in the middle of the city centre? Overall, a-ma-zing.

Food was great totally recommend it

Simple and effective Sunday brunch. Great burger 🤌

Awful our delivery did not come

Staff were so lovely greeted us very quickly and got us seated so quickly by Mahan and Afran

Staff are so lovely we were served straight away by mahin and Afran ,the drinks are amazing. Lovely atmosphere

The time kept getting delayed and I ordered 7 tenders and I only got got 5 and they forgot my garlic sauce overall the food was nice tenders a bit dry

My daughter and I discovered this restaurant today and what a wonderful find! Everything from start to finish was thoroughly enjoyable. The staff were friendly, the restaurant has a busy but relaxed feel, they have a great menu with a wide selection of choices - I could have eaten everything on the menu. They also do a very good selection of cocktails. The food arrived quickly and was really delicious and affordable too. Would definitely recommend a visit. I hope to be back soon.

Realy good good, good price as Well. Nice stad. Restaurant is neat and cozy.

Amazing food and ambience. Mahir & Afnan were very attentive to our allergens needs and provided the best service.

Beautiful interior, staff are very friendly and happy to help. Drinks where beautiful

Lovely inside, great food we got the chicken and it was beautiful and the staff were lovely would highly recommend

this was egregious, my food was cold… They also took an hour to bring the food. Horrible experience..

came in saturday 29th about 4pm, we had a pozza and a rice bowl , both were amazing it was pretty busy, and we werent waiting too long , kudos to the chef making the pizzas today they were beautifully crisp, and my friend said the rice bowl was so tasty , we will definetaly be back.

Extremely friendly staff especially Afnan. Very quick service

Beautiful place, very aesthetic, very friendly staff especially Afnan, cocktails and pizza are top tier!

Fast delivery. Hot food. Burgers and fries were both delicious! Gave us forks etc too

Lovely time at city picnic, service was amazing, very well looked after by Elena 🫶🏻

Great service. The double wings were really good and the cocktails are amazing. Mahir and Afnan are amazing at their job.

Had the most wonderful evening with dinner and drinks! The food was exceptional with great portion sizes, and the service was impressively quick. But the highlight of the night was definitely the drinks, they were gorgeous and tasted amazing. Mahir made us feel so welcome and comfortable, which really made the night special. I highly recommend this place, it’s an absolute must for a girls' night out!!!

food was delicious and the servers were the best. Definitely recommend coming here for a cheap but great experience!

Food was amazing! The service was impeccable! It made coming to Belfast worth while!

Gluten free celiac friendly. Had late lunch today food was fantastic could not fault anything at all. Staff friendly, great atmosphere and food superb 👌

Mahir was a great host and the food was decent

Arrived to City picnic late this evening and was greeted by Mahir who was very friendly, he served us very quick and was a true gentleman. I’ll definitely be back to eat here again. Great customer Service and phenomenal food!!

Food is ok nothing amazing but felt the staff were a bit lacking and rude at times. For what you’re getting I wouldn’t think it’s worth the price. Ceaser salad is absolutely terrible compared to how it is described on the menu. I’d not be running to go back if back up in Belfast

Great food and great service. Loved the Salad and the rice bowl. Afnan was great at his job

Food is poor quality, lots of food left uneaten on every table

Food looked great but was very bland, chicken gonna were like fried paper as where the boneless wings and the burger was just ok, no flavour. Although place looks lovely and service is great

Afnan was very helpful, great food and wide selection of cocktails

The guy who delivered my food was very polite and very friendly excellent service. I was disappointed with my garlic chips they were very greasy burger was OK

I’ve never been one to write reviews, but this place had the best comfort food during my trip. Everything was fresh, packed with flavour, and the service was fantastic—especially Afnan and Mahir, who were an absolute pleasure to chat with! In case you’re curious, I ordered the Chicken Caesar Salad, Piri Piri Chicken Pizza, and Chicken Strips with Fries. No judgement—sometimes, you just need some good, hearty food that hits the spot. Haha!

Afnan was a wonderful server! Food was lovely

Food was really nice, atmosphere was very good, great selection of music and our waiter Afnan was very polite, would recommend this place

Amazing food and service, Clare and Mahir took great care of us!

The food in city picnic was really good. Had the chicken salad and piri chicken pizza which was amazing. Afnan is an amazing server btw, he is really good at his job. Will be back again!

really fast service, lovely servers and the food was amazing! one of the best pizzas i’ve ever had.

Amazing food and amazing staff specially Afnan and Mahir who are amazing at their jobs. Will come back again.

Amazing service and food was unreal

Amazing food, Afnan made our experience more wonderful with his knowledge as one of the member in our party was Gluten free and he made sure all of us have a great experience. Food and service is superb. Will be back soon!!

Had an amazing time in city picnic. Had spicy bird which was really good and seeing their picnic boxes getting ready to deliver was an absolute delight. Recommend 10/10. Afnan is a great server and really funny as well as Mahir who is amazing at his job.

Such amazing food and atmosphere, server Mahir was amazing and made us felt so welcome!! Will most definitely be back🤩🤩

Get yourself down here! Unreal prices & the quality of food & drink is second to none

Came in after a busy day. Staff were so kind and helpful. The pizza and cocktails were to die for!! Mahir was the best and his customer service was amazing! Will definitely be back here

I loved the food here definitely recommended coming here for a nice lunch coming back on Saturday for the amazing cesear salad the dressing is so etiquette and delicious loved it

I have been here before in October 2024 and felt that time was better than this time. It’s disappointing you can’t order starters and mains separately. We ordered buffalo wings which I presumed came with a garlic dip, but unfortunately the garlic is all over the wings, which was not great as my partner doesn’t like garlic sauce and we hoped to share. The pizza pocket dough balls are a 11/10 can’t fault them. We also got the brisket fries which were amazing. Unfortunately I can’t say the same for the burgers, the meat wasn’t the best and didn’t enjoy the toppings. As for the cocktails I ordered a loop the loop which was completely different from last time was 1/10’this time. But I enjoyed the rest of them. I will return but would order differently next time!

Listened to mt request in the order notes, food was hot on arrival and delivery was good especially for a Saturday night.

I hadn't been here for years, so thought that I would go back with a friend. We really enjoyed it. The menu is varied from burgers to wings to pizzas. We had a pizza each and really enjoyed it. Very pleasant staff and quick service. Reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

Delicious food! Totally recommended

Had the nicest salad ever today, will be dreaming of it tonight 🤤 Huge portions as well which is awesome! Staff are really friendly and it’s such a nice place to eat in, great atmosphere. Will definitely be back 😁

Usually don't leave reviews but I was in City Picnic today for lunch and it was absolutely amazing. The staff were really friendly and attentive. I had the big smoke burger and it had to be one of the best burgers I've ever had. Defo recommend trying their cocktails as well, not like anything I've had before 10/10. Will be back soon!

City picnic was absolutely mobbed when we got there which made for a brilliant atmosphere. Had the Maple Bird chicken burger and the garlic fries and both were delicious. Best fries I had in as long as I don't remember when. Cocktails are bonkers good and the young lads who whipped up these joys certainly know their stuff. If you want one reason to visit Belfast then this is it. Fantastic!

Food was great,delivery driver was unhelpful and rude.

Food was raw/undercooked. Avoid if you value your health.

I was looking for somewhere to eat during a short trip to Belfast, and always struggle to find somewhere safe due to being coeliac. A friend recommended City Picnic, and after looking at the menu we gave it a go. The staff were wonderful, super knowledgeable about the gluten free aspect of ordering, and very reassuring! It was a busy Saturday lunch, but nothing seemed a problem, the team were very attentive. I had a gluten free pizza that was so lush, absolutely loved it, and wonderful truffle fries. The service was quick, the team were fab, the cocktails were wonderful and the atmosphere topped it all off. Definitely worth a visit, I will be returning next time I’m over for sure!

literally one of the best places to eat in belfast. Caesar salad is amazing and their sweet potato fries are beautiful

order late, cold and the can of pop was missing

Good food. Solid bugers and chicken sandwich. Great sweet potato fries. Nice staff. Would come back For full coeliacs nothing here for you They use the same utensils so everything is cross contaminated The fryer is not dedicated frye¹r and they fryer gluten foid in ut so the fries and chicken are not coeliac friendly The bugers are made on a shared service that had gluten For gluten intolerant people may be ok

The food is good I would order again soon

Went for something to eat & got seated right away. The burger was fine but not really any sauce on it so the chicken was slightly dry. So I'll try a regular burger next time. The fries were pretty good too with the addition of the bacon bits & cheese, bbq was a good choice to get aswell. The strawberry milkshake was my favourite and I'd definitely try another one next time.

Food was delicious and is always the perfect temperature, delivery is always excellent would definitely recommend to anyone

Really good burger, had the Maple chicken burger and the girlfriend had the Carnivore, plus the salt caramel shake, highly recommend.

Great little restaurant, very clean and great atmosphere. Food was great and surface was perfect. Did get lost looking for the toilet though hint: its not the door on the right thats the kitchen.

We had dinner at this restaurant with my husband, he had a pizza which was quite good. For my part I took boneless chicken, I found that it lacked sauce and the accompanying cheese sauce was forgotten. A normal restaurant, quite good but which didn't impress us.

Atmosphere was amazing and staff were really friendly. Seating was a bit cramped and burgers were a bit bland but still delicious! Really enjoyed lunch here!

Couldn’t even find my address. Had to go and meet the driver on a different road

We saw this on line and walked past and was always busy so thought it was worth a visit. There was seven of us.

My order was not delivered at all. I am at a children’s hospital and my order was marked as delivered and it was not given to me. How did this happen when I had confirmation number? Called restaurant who said to contact Just Eat. Waiting on Just Eat to advise and refund me. I also tipped the courier.

Seated immediately and given good advice on the food. When we asked about allergies (coeliac), the (new) waitress asked the chef/owner to help. We had a detailed discussion about what was fully gluten free, what was no gluten ingredients and what wasn't gluten free. Really helpful and understanding. Just about the best I've seen. And the food (rice bowls) was great. Just the right amount, filling and really tasty. Definitely would recommend it to anyone with allergies.

Originally I left a review as below. However I have edited to reflect a great experience. The manager, Katie showcased great ownership and invited us back to try again, with assurances the service would be better. It most certainly was!! Staff attentive, food amazing and atmosphere was lovely! Very well decorated for Christmas and a great ‘buzz’ in the restaurant. Service was really on point! It was busy when we visited today 19/12/24, but the service and quality of food was not lacking!! Originally 2 stars based on service, now a well deserved 5 stars! Well done Katie and team 😀 Original review below… Dined here with my wife around 3pm 14/11/24. Not one to leave low star reviews but I’ll explain why….. Staff really friendly and pleasant ✅ Food was fantastic ✅ But, that’s where it ends. We were one of only 2 couples in at the time and 3 staff were working. Seated immediately and given menus. 10-15 mins passed and my wife had to go to the bar to ask if we needed to order there, or if someone comes to take the order. Guy behind the bar came over and placed order. Asked for water for the table….. Food arrived within 10 mins, but no water - had to ask for it again. Nobody checked in during the meal to see if everything was ok. I found this disappointing. In this day and age - service is everything. Staff as I said were very pleasant, but lack the attentiveness expected in hospitality. One member of the team was constantly looking at his phone and ignoring customers. Not a good look. We would come back as the food was first class, but I would hope the management would address the lack of service. I could appreciate delays and a lack of attentiveness if it had been busy - but it wasn’t.

The only thing I had an issue with was the tables were very rocky , I had to keep my foot on the leg through the meal to stop it from spilling our drinks

Waited 30 mins for starters which in all honesty were actually quite nice. We ordered some pizza for main, one arrived shortly after while another had to wait another 10 minutes. Pizza I ordered mention a garlic drizzle, I assumed this would be a garlic drizzle not a massive pouring of garlic mayo. When I mentioned this and asked for a new one due to my egg allergy I was almost refused. I was asked if I mentioned this to my server and I said no because it did not mention anything to do with Mayo and the lady at the table next to us agreed that she would interpret the menu this way. Lady just said fine and walked off. Customer service was not understanding or helpful. I will always mention my allergy if anything on the menu states any form of egg, mayo or coleslaw which it doesn't. Even the burgers stated they come with a mayo not a sauce. Not happy and won't be back. I've actually edited this. Table next to us ordered parmesan and truffle fries, only to be told by the same server she didn't even tho ourselves and the table on their right heard this. This server had been nothing but rude, did not catch her name but retraining needed.

Just eat driver arrived 3.5houra later

Third time eating out of city picnic. Got a rice bowl with half rice and chips and chicken wings. Drinks came first and 30 mins later the food came. There was another table seated after us and had the food ate before we got ours. The chips were cold and the chicken wings tasted off. Portion sizes were small. Very disappointed.

Took over an hour to be delivered, asked for the burger with no salad or sauce and it came with everything on it

Looked around for City Picnic whilst visiting Belfast as they serve gluten free food. Was welcomed by Gavin and all the lovely waiters/waitresses. The food was amazing and being celiac was the best experience as it's so understood and inclusive ! The best chicken burger and chips I've eaten in a while (3 years) . Also enjoyed a gluten free beer and the best music taste ! :) recommend to anyone celiac and non-celiac !! Worth a visit to Belfast for this place alone !

Had the chicken burger. Nicest burger I v e had in a long time. Excellent service excellent prices

BBQ pork fries were too sweet and chicken burger was bland

I never leave reviews but I felt i had to so others could avoid and City Picnic can hopefully improve! The food was really hard to eat and I left near all of it, I got a margarita pizza and garlic pizza balls - both were completely bland and cardboard texture. I really wanted to eat it but it was very poor - Im not fussy and I never leave food!! My boyfriend had the same experience. Had the atmosphere of a posh uni campus dining hall/canteen Our order was messed up as well but the servers were polite and prices were okay. Could be a nice city spot if they sort out the food!!

The food was nice but the staff wasnt friendly, i was told i was getting chips with my burger then when the food came there was no chips and i questioned this with the staff member who was rude towards me!

Chicken burger tasted good though it had the tiniest onion ring in it and it came with the smallest portion of chips. The nachos were even worse in term of size, wouldn’t have filled a hole and the cost £10. Overall food tasted good but small portions and not worth the money.
