French Village Botanic in Belfast

Unfortunately think the driver helped himself to our food, and what was delivered was freezing, I would really suggest putting stickers on the boxes to stop any tampering! Could see on the tracker the driver taking d-tours then sitting in forestside car park for 25 mins before delivering only one meal and the deserts. Not the fault of French Village at all - actually ordered last Sunday and it was amazing, the food was hot and the portion sizes good.

Food was excellent and great value but items missing though just eat refunded me ok. Will definitely use here again

Delicious food. Speedy delivery. Food arrived hot.

The French toast is really nice. For me the compote was a little too sweet. The cappuccino is also very good!

Food was fine, three of us dined there and each plate was mostly made up of bread. Service was good if not a little forgetful although it was busy. Be prepared to wait for a seat. The tea isn't great, had to ask for extra teabags

Food. No complaints,Staff great service , just awee bit over priced

A long wait for the food to arrive and when it did my poached eggs were hard boiled, the flatbread was so overdone I could barely cut it with a knife and the tea was so weak I had to ask for another teabag. Even the waitress admitted 'they aren't great teabags'

Stumbled on this place on sunday looking for breakfast before leaving belfast and so glad we did , was a small wait but was well worth it. The staff were so nice nd couldnt do enough from the minute we got there, Will deffinatly be back again 100%

First time eating here. Staff were lovely, place is lovely but the food was just OK. It was the hottest burger I've ever had in my life, hot in temperature, not spice. I would say for the price I expected a bit better and a bit more. It was just burger and chips, no coleslaw, side salad, or anything like that.

What a real treat for breakfast. Pancakes were great. The Avo Toast was on point and the Turkish eggs are simply delicious. All topped of with great coffee and very kind staff. Go there for a very good start of your day.

French Village is one of my favourite lunchtime spots. It never disappoints. The food is always delicious and the atmosphere is cosy.

when the food got to me it was completely cold!! over toasted so not as if could be reheated in anyway and i was unable to contact french village to complain and try to get the food resent warm!!! disgraceful

3 star food hygiene rating. Look for yourself.

Very popular spot, excellent quality food, very busy likely you will Q at lunchtime 😉

Very tasty food However both times we've been service has been incredibly slow (both Lisburn rd and botanic) Including most recently we had to wait over 45 minutes for food

A tasty sandwich, but definitely overpriced.

This place always has great food, and the delivery service was excellent.

club sandwhich and chips were inedible because so cold

Good food, nice place. Maybe the music is a bit to loud

Only realised on the way out this establishment has a 3 star food rating and on reflection you can see why.

It's hard to beat this lovely café - the food is varied and very good and the staff is excellent.

A small but well served bistro, which we stumbled across for breakfast. There are only around 35 seats in the small dining room but we were seated and served very quickly. By the time we left (around 1100 on a Sunday morning) there were people waiting for tables (which is a good sign I'm sure). I had the "French Fry" and my partner had the French toast with Berry compote. Both served very quickly and was hot. Food was delicious and I couldn't eat all of my French fry as there was loads (shock horror). Very cosmopolitan feel and atmosphere and would highly recommend!!

Pancake with nutella is really good so was the lemonade

Absolutely fabulous brunch place. The French toast and the buttermilk stacks are to die for!!

We got the breakfast bap and the buttermilk fried chicken on French toast. As an enthusiast for black pudding, its crisp and flavour hit the right spot for me. It also compliments the hashbrown, sausage and bacon on the breakfast bap. I thought the toast of the bread was just nice it adds a crunch to the dish. Next was the buttermilk fried chicken. The big and chunky chicken filled me up for the rest of the day. I'm glad I got the French Toast as it's a lil sweet with that thick french-toastie taste which I loved. To add on, what scored the points had been its texture - how it just melts in your mouth. The waiter who served us this morning had been really sweet and attentive. Didn't get his name but his service gave us a good impression about this store!

Very tasty sandwiches for takeaway. Beef sausages rolls very good

The peppered sauce was just thrown in upside down and went all over the box with the chips, all over my drink and leaked out of the bag onto my sofa, had to scrape the bottom of the bag for some sauce.. first and last time getting from here..

Nice food. Reasonably fast service.

AVOID, we were sat at a table with an hour to go to close and after our main course the staff wouldn't serve tea or desert as it was too close time, 20mins still to go... Terribly Poor service and a very average over priced meal that was very salty. Won't be back, exceptionally over rated

Paid for order as a surprise for my staff team. Got an email to say delivered. Turns out it wasn’t delivered to the correct address. No idea who is eating my £50 of buns, but it isn’t my team

Great food as always from French Village

Good food. Not too expensive. Popular place. Nice atmosphere

Unfortunately my Belfast bap arrived with no egg, disappointed 🙁

Greasy food, poor service and inattentive staff.

Had avo and eggs on sourdough toast (gf option as well). Very tasty with a mix of garnishes including touch of hot sauce / chili's adding a mild kick. Eggs could have been a little bit softer to give a runny yoke. Coffee was good too, with oat milk available (if that your thing).

Came in for a late breakfast around 11am. We had the soup of the day an apple and leek that was very good. The soup tasted very fresh, bright and sweet. We had 2 butter croissants, we were hoping for almond but they sold out. The butter croissants were absolutely amazing! We would have loved to have tried the almond. One of us oregano the Turkish eggs and was extremely pleasantly surprised. They were different menu item then what we are used to seeing and tasted great. The flavors of the yogurt with the eggs and seasonings were different and absolutely a delicious combination. Someone else grabbed the open steak sandwich and was in love with the flavors of the sandwich. Three of us order a coffee of sorts, iced americano, cappuccino, and a latte with oat milk. The coffees were great and hit the spot! The other member of our party ordered a tea and that also hit the spot for them! We really enjoyed our brunch at the village cafe and bistro. What would have made this a 5 star experience was if our server was a bit friendlier and attentive. We had to ask for our check twice and waited a bit for her to be able to pay. The staff who brought our coffee and food over were helpful and attentive though.

Sat down to eat lunch and told staff that I had to take my child to the bathroom and we arnt finished food yet only got a few bites in and came back and the food was gone what a disgrace

Enjoyed a tasty Veggie Fry breakfast and was impressed with the quality of ingredients and portion size (the smashed avocado was delish). The girls working were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere perfect for afternoon brunch. Bonus: Got an entire carrot cake for 50% off on the way out - great deal!

Gorgeous food, lovely staff, quick service, happy customers! 4 of us had lovely breakfasts here today all very happy 😊

Very busy and had to wait to be seated Food delicious especially The French toast.

Had lovely breakfast here the choice was great coffee was great and option to eat outside in sunshine was fab!

Has an unwarranted air of sophistication about it. Why do they not take bookings? Food was alright, not the best.

This is a lovely looking place, really nice vibe, interesting menu, and tasty food. Would just be nice if the staff could smile a bit, they're all very glum 🙁

Me and my friend just walked around wanted to find some place for a coffee and sit outside for a while. The guy who came to take our order was super nice, smiling, refreshingly friendly, so helpful in regards to our specific wishes :) so we got exactly what we wanted. It was only coffee, but it was excellent and we definitely come back for some meal.

Fry arrived cold. Eggs rubbery and over cooked. No bacon a in both breakfasts and a half pancake each and no extra items to make up for the missing items. £28 for two inedible fry’s and the quality of the products has seriously went down hill. We would have went to the cafe on Sundays for a fry regularly and one of the stand out items was the quality of the butcher standard bacon and sausages used. These have now been switched to the cheap deli sausages. Can’t comment on the bacon. Generally just disappointed

Got some takeaway rainbow cake here last week. It was beautiful!

Great place for lunch, service was great and probably the best burger I've ever had, highly recommend 😃

Fine for what it is. Very basic lunch spot if you’re in the area and can’t find anything else. Basic food that is overpriced and probably out of a packet. Had the chicken and chips.

Dined here previous day for breakfast and had the French toast which was amazing, and as was close to where we staying decided we go again next day as said was open at 8.30am which suited us as travelling but when got to store and walked in the unlocked door were told they don't open until 9am. Advertised hours don't appear to be correct. A shame as was looking forward to the vegan stack.

Food was lovely but would appreciate a bit more variety with their vegetarian options. Staff were all fabulous!

Very nice start to the day, thanks!

I had the avocado toast and it was very yummy, along with a smoothie which was also great! They also have a to go cafe area in there also. Tasty food

Nipped in late morning for quick snack. Shared club sandwich which was very tasty and ample. Staff were so friendly and were there when you wanted something but not making you feel like it was time to move on. Busy place but would recommend.

You placed the caramel Square on top of the hot food item which meant it was melted everywhere on arrival and left it on edible

Ordered French toast the French toast wasn’t great the bacon was so fatty the best part was the blueberry compote.

Cold. The delivery driver couldn’t find the correct house. Was on the wrong street and tried a number of different addresses.

This is a godsend in a food wasteland haha Ireland is not known for its great food but this is a hidden gem - Staff lovely food really good …a little taste of home ! It’s a busy place so grab a table - you can even make your own sandwich choosing whatever you feel like ! Really good food and great staff in a pretty location - worth a visit !

Fantastic breakfast and super delicious french toasts

Eaten twice here in the past week. Lisburn Road ordered French toast and was served stale dry bread with absolutely no egg soaked through it. For 8.50 not acceptable 😔

Hard to understand the identity of their food

Bang bang chicken ridiculously small for price

Easiest Sunday morning ever. Delish 👍

Was delicious!!! Many thanks indeed 😁

Top class as always, Ashley should be proud of you all :)

incredibly delicious breakfast, despite the full room we received the order in about 10 minutes, and the coffee after a while after ordering. The portion is really big. If you are looking for a place where you can eat a really delicious breakfast, we recommend it wholeheartedly ❤️

Excellent service and experience

Delivery time got changed 4 times and once my food arrived the driver rang me to come outside and take my order of him from his car!

Place has changed alot - used to have an extensive menu and everything seemed to be homemade. Now the chicken goujons seem like they are from out of a bag and the menu has shrunk but prices inflated. Sad to see such an icon place do that after years and years of catering to the surrounding student community so well.

Not great service, good atmosphere though and good food

A beautiful fry up. No grease just perfection.

Was ordering cupcake gift for a friend living in Belfast. I had to phone the bakery to help with my order since online has a payment limit. Shannon who I spoke with with was absolutely superb and helped place my order for delivery to my friend. I live in Dublin, so could not arrange collection of the cupcake gift. Really appreciate all the time she spent on the phone to me and advising with the order. Customer service was excellent. Thank you Shannon!

My Aunt and Uncle brought me here for Sunday brunch. The queue was brief but worth it. We got seated down in no tim and in no time our food arrived. For the first time I tried the loaded fries with a side of sausage. Was really tasteful and filling. Staff were lovely and very polite. Loved their dress sense. Reminded me of Shoreditch on the weekends. Thank you guys 🙏🏽❤️

Order was extremely late and cold as well as missing items. Unable to contact customer service on this order for refund,

Very friendly and efficient staff. Our first breakfast as tourist from Malaysia was at this place.

I am glad they had plenty of kids high chairs as our twins were with us. They absolutely loved their avo toast, just wished the scrambled egg we ordered was more cooked as it was for infants. I ordered the French Mac burger and it was really good and a good amount for the price. The service could be a tad better as they seemed quite overwhelmed when we arrived, but the kitchen had the food out in no time.

Helpful friendly staff, fantastic service and the food was excellent 👌. Definitely worth a visit 😀

Food is excellent - the avo on toast with perfect poached eggs is a triumph. It is noisy however and the space is cramped with over half the usable space either a corridor or a takeout section. In the summer it's possible to sit out and that's very needed. Good place

Amazing avocado and poached eggs on toast. Thank you.

Food had brown sauce all over it which was not ordered

مطعم فطور طول اليوم زحمه بس ما انصح فيه تجربه فيه افضل منه

We all had delicious food, though I was slightly envious of my friend's particularly amazing looking French toast! 🤩 Nice that you can choose to order at the table by app, or at the counter.

Food was cold and the bacon was very fatty. Sausages were a horrible flavor

Fabulous atmosphere and excellent service. Food was hot and delicious and plentiful. Tea and coffee were hot as well. All in all, I would recommend this lovely café and its friendly staff. Spent £30 including gratuity and we were both extremely satisfied with everything. We'll done to all concerned!

Half of my fry didn’t arrive, it arrived opened and cold there is no excuse that would explain why it arrived open, and my club sandwich was made with sandwich spread and about 100 tomatoes it was overpowering and not nice to eat

Food wasn't delivered and wad told its not their responsibility as the Just eat driver had collected it. Awaiting a refund through the app.

Only had 1 slice of avo toast when menu stated 2 slices of sourdough. Sandwich didn’t come with coleslaw and drinks spilt.

French toast, maple syrup and bacon. Plenty of bacon but cold and rock hard. Whole thing drowning in maple syrup (better served on the side). £9 for that...disappointing as I had been wanting to try this place for a while. Oh and coffee is so so.

Great! Delivery was on time and driver was very kind.

Came in this morning with my mother and father for breakfast, and saw we had to look at the menu online which is a bit of a hassle when paying online as well, the inside of the cafe was nice quite busy. But if you can’t order online the cafe will give you menus and you can go up to the counter and order. 40.00 pound for 2 fry’s and a French toast with bacon. The meal was just okay but so expensive for what? But the staff were very lovely apart from that.

FV was welcoming for us as lunchtime drop-in customers. Food was good, variety good, service good, ambience good...but a tad pricey. Would I return ? Yes !

Tasty breakfast amd gluten free bread option.

Food was alright, service was lacking

HORRIBLE! food (brownie) was ice cold and brick hard. Like concrete. Everything smelt disgusting, from the actual cafe to the food. Expensive food with horrible quality and taste. The ceiling looked like we were sitting in an abandoned building they were that dirty. 0/10 definitely would not recommend.

Love this place and you will toooooooo

Buon posto, per lo meno perché puoi trovare un menù che esce leggermente t dagli schemi ripetitivi presenti in città . Buone le colazioni dolci tipiche del continente centro sud.

I do not like ordering via QR code. Where is the experience in that? It's robotic. It's so cold! Food nice.

A nice place to have a meal in Botanic avenue. Various food options are available including sandwiches and burgers. Vegetarian and vegan options also available.

Excellent food and presentation! Definitely great value for money. Perfect for office events, family occasions etc..

Overall quick and polite service with decent, tasty food

Although very busy, was looked after quickly and friendly. Good food and kids loved the pancakes!
