CT15 Cafe Bistro in Belfast

I go here all the time. Great food. Everything fresh and cooked from scratch.Staff can’t do enough for you. The gourmet nights (if you can reserve a table as they go quick) are fab. Plus it’s bring your own. Win win!

Compact but wonderful. Excellent food, friendly staff. Apparently there is a monthly gourmet night but the waiting list is lengthy.

Lovely. Sour dough bread fabulous. (Take some home.) Omelette was as good as it gets. Good coffee. Staff enjoying their work. Always a good sign. Not the ritz. If you want the ritz go there. If you want a good lunch for handy money go here. It’s a tardis by the way.

Some staff too prescious about seating guests where they require even when cafe not full and not all pleasant. Also cafe closes earlier than the stated opening and closing hours which needs sorted A smile and good service goes a long way. There are other places to spend one's hard earned money. Food decent enough.

Consistent, great service with a good selection of food. Freshly cooked food with specials, wheaten bread is amazing

CT15 opening times on their door and website shows their closing time is 3.30 pm. I arrived at 2.40 on a Saturday to meet a friend. The staff didn’t seem keen on a customer (even though there was almost an hour before they were due to close). I asked if we could have a table upstairs, but was advised that upstairs closes at 2.30 pm. I sat in the downstairs cafe for a few minutes waiting for my friend who was due to arrive at 2.45. A guy approached me and said that “everything will be switched off in 10 minutes”, so he and I agreed there would be little point in waiting any longer, and I agreed to go elsewhere. We were only planning to have coffee and a cake, not a 3-course meal. I certainly don’t think we would have enjoyed a leisurely coffee while the staff were waiting to close! I’ve been here several times before, with varying experiences. My friend and I were planning to ask about the next Gourmet Evening with a view to possibly booking, but I wouldn’t imagine either of us would be returning any time soon. There’s really no point in putting 3.30 pm closing time, if it is actually 3.00 pm.

On two occasions I felt the staff very rude went for lunch with my daughter in the summer and I didnt even get asking if they had a table for two when some young girl came straight down to the door and said no tables I said that's fine we will wait on one two minutes later the fella came over brought us upstairs and there was a table for two but yet no one came down stairs so there was a table upstairs.i decided to write this review as we went again with four of us and a baby we were given a table and considering it was empty we decided to move so we could put the baby in the pram so we could eat our lunch 2 minutes later we were approached and told to go back to the table we had a lady offered to move her chair so we could get the pram in but she still insisted we had to move I was prepared to eat at the next table on my own so we could put the baby down she still wasnt happy about this so I had to sit at the end of the table we moved to . Considering it was 2 o'clock and only ourselves and 2 ladies upstairs they made me feel uncomfortable that we brought a baby to lunch .I know they have highchairs for children but if you have a baby that's under 6 months old and cant sit in a highchair be prepared to try and est your lunch with your hands and a baby on your lap the only good thing about this place is the food

Owner of the restaurant thinks she’s better than everyone, average at best food for the prices that they charge. If your a student don’t go near this place as you will be treated as a price of dirt on the ground

This place is amazing, the food is freshly prepared and is delicious. Staff are so friendly and very efficient...service with a smile. Would highly recommend you definitley won't be disappointed.

Food is basic but not bad. Service is friendly. Could do with a freshen up as getting rather grubby. Spoilt by short opening hours and not being open on a Sunday!

Stopped by today on way out of Belfast. We had toasted sandwiches with salad and coleslaw. The staff were friendly and helpful. The menu had good range. Food was lovely, tasted fresh. Delightful to get gluten free bread! As a coeliac you are putting your trust in a restaurant that they will do what they say and indeed provide gluten free food. CT15 lived up to my expectations

Lovely food, great service. Clean restaurant. Plenty of indoor seating. The breakfast burrito was fantastic! Plenty of veggie options too.

Great selection on the menu backed up by great service. Pricing is a bit high but the quality of food is great.. proper home made chips. Well worth a visit

Probably in 1-2 times a week on our way into town. Great for brunch and food is always perfect. Lovely staff. Only small criticism would be the coffee - milk always seems overstretched from being steamed either too long or too hot (should be no more than 60 degrees) other than that we are happy regular customers.

We have enjoyed lunch in CT15 a number of times and have never been disappointed. The seafood chowder with wheaten bread is delicious and the service very friendly and welcoming.

Totally lovely breakfast I guess the best little cafe on the whole stretch of the Antrim Road for Food / coffee Totally a wee GEM 💎

Visit! The best wee shop on the Antrim Road. Amazing food, great service and it’s an oasis on the Antrim road of peace and happiness Children, seniors, mummy’s and just those having an away day - best place for lunch in North Belfast

Visited this restaurant recently, it is very small but food is delicious and service is excellent, hope to visit again soon . Cannot give a rating a it wouldn't accept, but would give 5 for each category

I was very impressed by the staff of CT15 for their excellent service and quality of food. They went over and beyond what could have been expected and were very easy to work with.

Gorgeous good, great service and incredibly clean - a perfect wee place for a coffee and cake chat or a lunch when you need something special

I have been now two times to this little hideaway on the Antrim Road and totally had a beautiful Breakfast and lunch

Llamado para comer rápido y no me decepcionó. Pedí la sopa de mariscos y wheaten que era tan bueno como una sopa que he probado. Hubiera puesto 5 estrellas si el tazón de estado más grande, pero supongo que es una U felicitar por su propia cuenta.

Salida para el desayuno (mis amigos lugar local) y chico, qué encontrar. Primera clase de principio a fin (servicio, comida, variedad/calidad/precio excelente devolverle). El mejor elogio que le puedo dar es que volvimos a la mañana siguiente y fue igual, si no incluso mejor. Otra joya escondida para mi una lista.

Always call in her for a fry when in Belfast. Real little gem. food and service is outstanding and the staff are very friendly. Do yourself a favour and visit, big thumbs up.

Again, stopped in here for a cooked breakfast, opted for a fry. Food was nicely cooked and service was good. Good value for money. With a pot of tea and added black pudding it was £6.40.

CT15 sirve la mejor sopa de mariscos que he probado nunca. Lleno de peces macizos no es este sopa de patata con bulked como tantas otras. Delicias de crema. Servido con pan wheaten hace excelentes comidas regalo. Pruébelo. No te decepcionará.

CT15 es un lugar delicioso para comer rápido y barato. El personal intentan por favor. El marisco linguini es magnífica, mejor que he probado en un restaurante de mariscos. No puedo esperar a volver.

Mi marido y yo tuvimos el almuerzo aquí un par de veces y es muy buena.

Almorcé hoy en CT15 con mis hermanas y yo estaba realmente impresionado con la calidad de la comida y el servicio. Un delicioso menú preparado y servido a un estándar muy alto. Sin duda volveremos. Bien hecho a todos. Estupendo para tener una joya como esta en la zona.

Stopped here for breakfast with my other half and young son. See vice was wonderful, friendly and attentive. Bright, airy and clean inside!Lots of choice on the menu from a kids menu to multiple vegetable choices... and decent ones at that!!Food was tasty and very reasonable. Hope to return soon!

The food here is always good, best place to eat on the Antrim Rd. for a quick sandwich, breakfast or lunch.When they do a special evening menu the chef gets to show off her skills. I've been a few times and she really knows how to cook.I had a lovely scallop starer followed by an absolutely delicious Thai sea bass and prawn coconut curry, very light but yet so full of flavour.Service is very friendly, atmosphere relaxed and bring your own.Really hard to beat.

This is my third time here for breakfast and I cannot find a bad thing to say about the place. Menu range is really good with a few healthy options which makes a change. Smashed avocade on toast is amazing and the coffee is great.The price is very reasonable and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

Had breakfast here this morning . For all those members of slimming world I highly recommend the syn free fry! It's absolutely gorgeous and filling . This place was packed this morning with people. Real testament to the chef and friendly staff . It's BYO on a fri and sat evening at the minute and as mentioned before bus stop is right outside . Love this place !!

Visited this place for the first time this morning and had an enjoyable breakfast. The place is clean and service was friendly and efficient. The food was nicely cooked and it was extremely good value for money. Will certainly go again.

You know a place is special when it becomes 'your' cafe. It's a rare combination of home made food, Gourmet custom-made meals and family-friendly place, with great customer service to match the high quality tasty food. With any '1' buses stopping at the door, there's no excuses not to come and visit this little jewel of a café in Antrim rd. it's become our weekly Saturday lunch. You know a place is good when you compare every other place to this.

I've been here so many times with my friends and family and I can honestly say the staff and food are amazing! I especially love the sandwiches with the tortilla crisps! If I'm ever arranging lunch with anyone this is our go to place :)

Not a fantastic restaurant, the noise of the people getting out of the school across the street is disgraceful, the restaurant is very cold! Wouldn't visit, the food isn't very good either.

I can whole heartily recommend the burger, unforunatly the only steak they serve is rib eye. There is usually a pasta or chicken option however it quite often is the same sauce on both!! I did have the seafood chowder and while in some places you may not get enough fish, this was the opposite, with not enough stock!! It was a bowl of different seafood in a table spoon of liquid !! but very flavoursome. You can bring your one wine which is always an advantage. £1.50 corkage

Lovely staff and lovely breakfast, tailored to what you want not just given everything and leave it you don't like things. Tray bakes are to die for made by the chefs mum!!

I eat here quite regularly with my brother and sister-in-law.The staff are very friendly and courteous. The food is varied and there are usually 2 soup specials to choose from. Very good value for money. Would highly recommend for lunch .

Ended up here by chance twice in the one week. Looks small and unimpressive from the outside but don't be fooled. Good menu with daily soup and specials. I had the signature sandwich the first visit and special panini the second visit. Tasty lunch menu. Staff were very friendly and helpful and seemed to know may of the customers by name. There was a great range of tray bakeson offer which looked delicious. Not being a coffee or tea drinker it was good to have a choice of other drinks.Parking was a tad difficult because of where this is located but work a visit. The friendliness of the staff helps makes this a great wee place.

Have had many visits here and all were perfect. Today`s special was great. Lovely atmosphere and super staff. Back again soon.

The food in this cafe is amazing, had the chicken and Chorizo special wrap today and it was mind-blowing, great service too. Highly recommend!

My friend and I had a lovely brunch there. I had been a few years ago but will definitely be back. There is a slimmers brunch option which was very tasty and in keeping with my slimming world plan. Well worth a visit and apparently it is open on Friday evenings for dinner and is BYO. My friend intends to go back for that. Staff very friendly.

Do you ever go to a place and everything is great and then there are a few things that get you bothered and ruin the experience. This happened to me. Firstly the food was really nice and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We had a polish waitress and she was great. However, it was very cold in the cafe. A little bit of heat would have been perfect. In saying that though, there was a another thing that has really bothered me up. We had went to pay for our meal and i swear, the chefs face was tripping her while she took the money from us. She was uninterested in what she was doing and seemed to unimpressed. Not pleasant in anyway.In saying that we all have our off days and I will return... when the heating is sorted out that is.

I was there for the first time with my Daughter. She's a bit of a regular there and it's easy to see why.I had the seafood Chowder.Have to admit I had never heard of it but my Daughter had tried it there and recommended it to me.Very nice it was.Price wise, all seems very reasonable.Nice friendly girl served us.As title says it is a nice relaxing and friendly feeling Cafe.I will be back.

Have been to CT15 a few times for brunch. They do a great job of it, good selection and friendly,courteous & efficient staff. I hear that the evening meals are very good too and hope to try it soon.

Would definitely recommend this place as the staff are so helpful and the food never fails to impress! I've had food from the breakfast, lunch and evening menu and everything has been very high quality and good value for money. Make sure to try one of the traybakes as you won't be disappointed :).

Highly recommend this restaurant! The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is delicious! Have been here many times in the past and each time it has never disappointed. Fresh, affordable and tastey! Great for families and group dinners. Talented chef :)

We have been here many times. Breakfast, lunches and the evening menu. Great atmosphere, high end food and reasonably priced for the quality. Delicious French toast with fresh berries, signature sandwiches and the best steaks in Belfast. There's foods I wouldn't eat at home, but would eat here, all because of how it is cooked and complimented with other flavours on the dish.We try to get here at least once a month for the evening menu with a bottle of wine for a night out and it's our little gem.Lastly, I cannot forget the staff. Very personalised, attentive, professional and friendly.Try it once.. You'll be back again and again.

Been to CT15 a few times for breakfast and lunch and food is always excellent. Staff are friendly, attentive and good generally at what they do. One of the times I went there were around 10 of us and it was no problem to staff to rearrange tables etc and all our food order was correct when it arrived. Cafe has lovely decor especially upstairs and is so clean and modern. A great find and one I'll be going back to often.

Dined in CT15 on Fri night and cannot rate it highly enough. The service was wonderful. The two girls who served us were attentive and very pleasant . The food was absolutely beautiful . To start I had the salted chilli chicken which was a very generous portion and full of flavour . My husband had the seafood chowder which was also beautiful with a big slice of homemade wheaten . For main I had the hake and my husband had the steak. Both were cooked to absolute perfection and we thoroughly enjoyed this meal . It's great to finally have a place in North Belfast where you can go and enjoy a beautiful meal that is all completely fresh and cooked by a brilliant Chef who obviously takes great pride in the food she serves . Can't wait to go back again ! I have been here for lunch also and there is a great choice of food . The soups are always delicious and you can't beat the Syn free salad . I could go on and on and do recommend people give this place a try.Great food and more than reasonably priced!

I visited this restaurant today for the first time. I had a lovely lunch and was very reasonably priced.They have a good menu & food all freshly prepared.The staff were very friendly and service was excellent. I will definitely go back as is very close to where I live but I didn't know it existed.Would highly recommend.

My girlfriend and I are regulars here, I've had nearly everything on the lunch menu at some point and its all great! I recommend the chicken goujons (best in Belfast) and the signature sandwiches. Open late on Thursdays and Fridays for the dinner menu which is absolutely delicious, very good value as well, especially with the early bird menu. Fantastic restaurant, would highly recommend :)

Been to CT15 for lunch a number of times, food had been fantastic every time, always fresh and served nicely. Sometimes they have thai curry on their specials menu which is delicious. I've also had their toasted sandwiches and burger and chips which are also very tasty. Staff are friendly and helpful. Definitely a hidden gem! Highly recommend as a good meal is guaranteed.

Ct15 is like a little hidden jewel in north belfast! The breakfast is amazing and non greasy, the soups are seasonal, the early bird is reasonable and the specials could rival st Ann's square!!! I almost don't want to post a review in case it gets too popular!!! The staff will attend to you when needed but will leave you alone without hovering when you don't need them. Give it a try and I bet you will be raving too!!!!!

Went on Friday night to the bistro, the food and service was amazing. I had the scallop and chorizo starter which was probably the tastiest dish I have ever had followed by the salmon and prawn pasta which was also incredible! The girls I was with also really enjoyed their meals and its BYOB, so it was a great night had by all!

Have eaten here couple of times and been pleased.Yesterday I went in for a scone to take home.DRy scone cost £2.20p.Never again.As senior citizen my finances could not sustain ,delicious as it was.

I'm not a big fan of the usual fry, or sausage/bacon for breakfast so it's nice to see somewhere that caters for so much more in this part of the day. The best French toast I've ever had when eating out. Had it three times now and consistently delicious - light white bread, fresh juicy berries and a runny syrup. A cracking black coffee - nice and strong, is the icing on the cake. Doubt it'll be topped for my kind of breakfast any time soon. Brilliant!

Had lunch here last week fantastic coffee and delicious burgers !!!! Diedre was an absolute star and made our visit so special. Great little pace would highly recommend.

My sister and I called a few times with our young children. The staff were so welcoming and didn't even mind when my daughter through her toast across the floor. The food cannot be beaten in North Belfast. The breakfasts are delicious. I recommend the French toast and 'sin free' breakfast. It is the nicest I have ever tasted. We will definitely be back!

We had an electric outage last week, so we thought we'd treat ourselves to dinner out! We really like bistro style cafes and had heard about this one on the grapevine, so decided to give it a go!The cafe is bright, vibrant and comfortable, a really nice ambience for the evening. I ordered the Steak and triple cooked chips and it was just fantastic. The steak was cooked perfectly for me, it was a good size, but most importantly tasted amazing. I could have eaten the steak alone with nothing else, but the pepper sauce was an added bonus! The chips were big and chunky and lots of flavour, I couldn't fault it. I had to indulge on dessert, because everything on the menu just sounded so good. I went for the Panna Cotta with peaches! The Panna cotta was dotted with yummy vanilla, it was smooth and silky, and really complimented the peaches, every mouthful was a treat.The staff were friendly, responsive, and the food was served quickly. We didn't realise but it was the cafes one year anniversary, so we were given a glass of champagne each with strawberries! Another added bonus!There were definitely other options on the menu we really wanted to try, so we'll definitely be back!

Great staff, hearty food and well priced :)Been in a few times for coffee (& cheesecake!). Had proper meal a few nights ago - excellent fish with chunky "triple cooked" chips and crushed peas.BYO corkage charges are the best I've seen - would be a good spot for a party booking.

regular take out customer in ct15, recieved terrible service from a waitress when i was told to move after buying chips to take out, sitting on their outside seats!, not to mention the chips were undercooked and oily, the women was soo rude will not be back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a beautiful meal in CT15 recently. My chicken was cooked to perfection and my partner had lamb which was just divine and I will have this next time! Our desserts were also remarkable. I had panna cotte with caramelized peaches. I can still taste them! Wonderful!A few suggestions though:I telephoned earlier in the day to inquire what was on the menu and was asked to look at the website. At work certain parts of the website are blocked therefore I very nearly did not go as this was unhelpful.We were placed right beside another dining couple even though there were only four others dining. After being seated we were asked did we want to move as the other couple were loud and I thought it would appear rude to move away. It would be easier not to sit people almost on top of each other if it can be avoided.Lastly, a little bug bear of mine. Why have a candle if you don't light it? I happen to think it is important and actually candles lit around the upstairs would be very pretty as there is plenty of glass.None of this detracted from the magnificent meal and excellent waitress service. i will definitely be back.

My family went here last night for dinner and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Great service and attentive to needs of the elderly. Hope to be back soon.

Went for lunch twice - tried two different sandwiches!! Gorge!! Will def be back to try dinner...and am looking forward to it! Do not pass if you are up this direction! Def a hidden gem!!Waitress staff were so friendly and kept busy keeping the place extremely clean and tidy!!

Lovely food, decor and staff. Take away prices pretty steep however reflect the quality of food. Caramel squares and breakfast burritos are a must try.

First time there but will definitely go back. Great food - both value and quality -and very friendly and efficient staff. BYO definitely a bonus. Thank you. Maybe a little background music and extra lighting would add to the atmosphere?

CT-15 hasn't been open for long but is gaining a reputation for good food and friendly efficient service. I have been a few times for coffee with friends. Their French toast is delicious. My only criticism is that it is on the breakfast menu you can't order it in the afternoon. It is a small venue with a few tables downstairs and more tables up stairs.I had dinner there recently on a Friday evening ( they open Thursday and Friday evening BYO). It was a family gathering and we had the upstairs to ourselves ( about twenty of us). we had the choice of three starters, three mains and three desserts. I had the prawn cocktail to start...a very generous serving . Delicious. I chose rib eye steak for my main and it was cooked to perfection ( chicken or salmon were the alternatives) and I could only manage ice cream for dessert. The service was excellent - friendly and efficient without being intrusive. My only criticism is that it is rather cold but I think maybe that's just me ! It's great to have somewhere in North Belfast to have a good meal.

Been here a few times now and plan to return. Food's very good, staff friendly and helpful, good portions and reasonably priced, especially as it's "bring your own" in the evening.Surroundings are pleasant enough, could probably do with a few soft furnishings on the walls to keep the noise down a little.During the week they do a decent fry as well as good sarnies for takeout or sit in lunches. Smoked salmon, prawn and smoked cheese is excellent, who'd have thought it!The main lunch menu has a few veg and syn free options as well as the best chicken goujons I've tasted, fantastic batter. The twice cooked chips are fab.They do a nice, quite sweet, burger and a good seafood chowder too.Topped off with good coffee and a proper tray bake.They open late Thursday and Friday and have an early bird menu.We went on Valentine's day, complimentary glass of fizz and the best sea bass I've had, superb sauce and loosely crushed spuds, far better than I'd had in James St. South not long before.Only problem with the huge cinnamon & apple desert with homemade custard was that I just had to finish it.Overall, excellent and really good to see decent places to eat opening up outside the City Centre.

Great café for breakfast or tea and a scone. Friendly and good selection on the menu. Plenty of space upstairs and overall very pleasant
