Hope Street Restaurant in Belfast

Another fabulous evening at Hope Street Restaurant, everything about the restaurant is first class. Perfection, at its best!

BYO (Tesco express just around the corner if you’re on holiday) Food is absoluty sublime Starters Goats cheese fritters Thai chilli beef strips Mains Seafood risotto Pork belly Extra side of garlic potatoes High end restaurant quality at an affordable price Would recommend

Six of us ladies went to Hope Street restaurant last night, where we had a wonderful evening. The food was scrumptious especially the Goat cheese fritters starter, Daube of Beef main and the Salmon. Also the extra complimentary starters were a lovely touch as is the BYO bottle. The staff were courteous and nothing was too much trouble but the manager or lady in charge is just amazing, and has eyes on everything going on in the restaurant.

Ate here on Sat 2 March prior to going to Ulster Hall for a concert. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The pre theatre menu was very good and had plenty of choice. The food was very good in quality and quantity and at a very reasonable price. The restaurant was very busy but we didnt have to wait too long for our food. Chilli beef was excellent as was the chicken penne pasta and the other chicken dish. We will definitely return and highly recommend to others

Just got back to the hotel after a fabulous meal at Hope Street. The starters were delicious and the mains were both huge and fabulously tasty. I described it as fab but not poncey! Just remember to take any alcohol with you. There's a Tesco express 5 mins walk away. Excellent service and a bubbly atmosphere. Highly recommended

Great bistro style food. Soft brisket and the best battered onion rings ever. Close to town and close to the iconic pub The Crown.

My wife and I recently dined again in Hope Street on a Saturday evening - we've eaten here a number of times previously and have always thoroughly enjoyed the experience. This is one of the few consistently good restaurants that we have experienced in Belfast. It is a well run family restaurant with friendly attentive staff and has a welcoming and convivial ambience. Above all they have a great menu with not just the usual suspects that you find in most other places. We had the mouth watering cod bites and chilli beef to start (plus a chicken Caesar salad on the house) followed by generous portions of pork belly and sea bass which were cooked to perfection. Hope Street is reasonably priced and BYOB so easy on the pocket. Can't wait for our next visit.

Amazing Food! Great Service! Highly recommend stopping in for an affordable dinner if in Belfast City Centre!! Try the Cod Bites or the Chili Beef! Will definitely be in again!

Fantastic meal with great service. BYO which is a rare find in central Belfast. Coming to this restaurant for at least 8 years. Never had a bad meal. We are always warmly greeted by lovely served and her chef husband. Highly recommend

Great restaurant, service couldn’t have been better and staff couldn’t be any more helpful. Food was superb. Highly recommended.

We visited this restaurant on a Friday evening and got a table right away. We choose from the pre theatre menu. The food was excellent, with plenty to choose from. The surroundings were beautiful. The staff were extremely helpful throughout our visit. The food was excellent value and we really enjoyed our visit. If in Belfast please give this family run restaurant a try, but you will need to use ure sat nav to find it..

My wife and I had a delicious meal of Salmon and Sea Bass followed by Sticky Toffee Pudding and Rhubarb Crumble. Food was delicious. Service friendly and warm. Staff always had a smile. Restaurant highly recommended.

Amazing food. Accommodating staff and very welcoming. Great value. Would recommend to anyone looking for great Irish food in belfast. I only wish I had space for desert.

Visited with two colleagues for dinner on a Thursday night. Food was excellent and I have to say I found the service to be very helpful and attentive. The restaurant is BYO and despite a £5.50 corkage charge, it really is a big advantage. I will return

Our first time visiting Hope Street after a friend recently recommended it to us. Wonderful food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. We ordered the Thai Chilli Beef and Goats Cheese Fritters for starters and the Confit Pork Belly and Battered Haddock for mains. Great flavours with everything we had and great value. We’ll definitely be back!

A very busy and quite noisy restaurant. We had booked for 5.45 and had the Pre Theatre Menu which is good value.The food was delicious and the service very good.

Fabulous Restaurant. The staff are friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. The complimentary starter of cod was amazing. Can't wait to visit again this week.

Always a great experience when we eat at Hope Street! We were a large family party, but, as usual, the service and food were excellent. Here are people who know how to run a restaurant! Thanks to the management and all the team for another...

Went here with my family for dinner. The staff were excellent, and the food was great. In particular, I can highly recommend the Thai Chilli Beef, it was incredible. The location is great too, close to the station for the journey home.

My friend and I visited Hope Street yesterday evening prior to a theatre visit. Given it was Saturday the restaurant was buzzing with almost every table filled, having said that, the service was in no way compromised. We were greeted with a smile and shown...

We spent a few nights in Belfast earlier this month, and after reading TA reviews were lucky enough to eat one evening in Hope Street Restaurant. We were a group of four travelling from Melbourne Australia. What a wonderful meal this was, other than at...

The food was excellent and delicious. Enjoyed the chilli Squid and main course of pan fried salmon. Service was very attentive. A hidden gem in Belfast. Well done Hope Street Restaurant team

Delicious food and excellent service, would recommend for everyone to come here! Had chilli beef as a starter, followed by pork belly, and the sticky toffee pudding was divine.

Excellent food, far surpassed our eco for freshness, quality and preparation. I would highly recommend. Friendly staff too.

My mom and I happened upon this restaurant just steps away from our Hampton by Hilton Hotel in the city centre. So delicious!! My only regret was that we were there for only one day, I would have gone back a second time. Friendly service...

Excellent service, superb food! The chilli beef was amazing!! Well worth a visit, might even go back before we go home!! If you are in Belfast, you must go here!!

Service was excellent , food was tasty and served hot. My husband had tomato basil soup, superb, and wild mushroom risotto also very good. I had the beef brisket which was slightly dry and stringy although tasted fine- would try again and order something different...

Lovely food. Irish with a little twist. Would thoroughly recommend the cod bites, goats cheese and chilli beef starters. We followed up with beef brisket and daube of beef, melt in the mouth.

We all had an absolutely fantastic meal……..was my first time and I will most definitely be back. Amazing food and service was also above and beyond….everyone so genuinely friendly and helpful.

Our waitress was very friendly and attentive when we arrived. The food was tasty, my main of grilled chicken was maybe a little under seasoned but the chicken was so tender. Our only issue is that when we asked for the bill we had to...

Since there were several events taking place in Belfast when we were visiting, our tour guide mentioned that we should reserve a restaurant for dinner, since they fill up quickly. A 2 or 3 course set menu was offered and we ordered the Soup and...

Picked Hope St for a well overdue date night after reading very promising reviews. Unfortunately we were left very disappointed &underwhelmed. I had the fish cake starter, 2 very small 3cm fish cakes. More like hockey pucks with no flavour & no seasoning just a...

I attended a family dinner of five to celebrate my sister in law's birthday. From the start to finish everything was excellent. Great ambience, fantastic service, brilliant and delicious food, and a wonderful host. Loved the starters, main and dessert. Will definitely be coming back!

Excellent food and service was top notch. Staff so friendly and accommodating. Will def be back again.

Really nice food and the BYO is brilliant.....brough an excellant bottle of wine that would have cost £100 in a Belfast restaurant.

We chose this restaurant after reviewing the online menu. I ordered a fish main course and my husband ordered the beef brisket. Both meals were tasted delicious and the presentation was beautiful. We also shared the rhubarb apple crumble for dessert -- it was a...

This restaurant is located near to the centre of town, and ideal if you're going to the theatre just a short walk up the road. It's a bring your own wine and beer restaurant which wasn't a problem at all with shops nearby, and the...

inventive menu with options for every dietary stricture. Helpful host and server and excellent food.

Food was absolutely beautiful, it was a busy night and still the service was quick, food was piping hot and the staff were lovely - Great for nights with friends, date nights or birthday dinner!

Wonderfully tasty food. BYO was great as could bring what we liked to drink. Lovely friendly staff too, would definitely visit again.

Food was great but equally really enjoyed the service. My favorite thing was the mushy peas. Super fresh and tasty. I had the fish cakes and mushroom risotto. I would order that again, but would probably try everything else too. There were three of us...

We visited Hooe Street tonight, and we were welcomed by a very friendly front of house who looked after us and everyone in the restaurant on her own. we had a starter each which both were great. I had a sirloin steak, which was cooked...

This restaurant was excellent! We received a warm, friendly welcome and the staff were so efficient. You can take your own booze, although there is a corkage fee for wine. But as we were visiting Belfast on a mini break, we were happy to take...

First visit to Hope Street for me. Lovely menu - not extensive but really interesting choices. I went for the fishcakes with minted, puréed peas and lemon and black pepper mayonnaise as a starter, with prawn linguini to follow. Both were delicious. My brother had...

Great food in a nice setting. We took our own Prosecco and wine. Soup and Caesar salad was delicious and Salmon and chicken entrees were wonderful.

Honest food and great service. Not sure I would rate this place so highly, particularly as I paid £5.50 for corkage on a bottle of wine I bought at Tesco’s round the corner. This seems like a lazy way of making money on booze without...

We chose this restaurant based on the excellent reviews on TripAdvisor. We were not disappointed. Hope street deserves all the 5* reviews. Service in the restaurant is friendly attentive but not intrusive. We had the pre-theatre menu which is excellent value. There was a wide...

Really accomodating for the kids, nice atmosphere and great food. I recommend the daube of beef or pan fried salmon.

Great food, with that extra touch of spices that livens up the fish/seafood dishes. Great service, with friendly and attentive staff. The place does not sell alcoholic drinks, but you can bring your own.

Such delicious food , best prawn linguine I’ve ever had ! My husband had the salmon which he said was perfectly cooked and to finish we had the best apple crumble ever !

Went here on Friday with my missus for a wee date night we had the pre theatre menu. The food was delicious and perfectly cooked I had the butterfly chicken with vegetables and garlic mash and the toffee pudding with ice cream for dessert. We...

This restaurant was byob which helped as the cost of drink in restaurants is soo expensive here. The food was really well cooked and beautifully tasty. In addition the atmosphere created in the restaurant was calm and welcoming- this was helped by a sole Female...

Delicious food, friendly service. Great menu choices. Really couldn’t fault it at all! Best meal we have had in Belfast.

I reviewed this restaurant by mistake trying to review another restaurant I want to apologise to all concerned for my mistake as I’m told it’s one of the best places to eat near the hotels on hope street Belfast worth a go lads x

Absolutely great night to celebrate a friends birthday . The staff were truly fabulous . Thank you . We were a party of 8 and everyone loved their food too and such a delight when the lights when down for ‘ happy birthday ‘ ....

Excellent restaurant with friendly and helpful staff. Absolutely beautiful food with perfect presentation. Our group had beef brisket, 2 salmon, daube of beef and kids burger and each one was superb. Lemon posset dessert really tasty aswell. We would definitely call again when in Belfast.

Food was well presented, sea bass was well cooked and flavours were an interesting combination that worked. The butternut squash soup was excellent, perfectly balanced spice and sweetness. BYO drinks is a great way of having your own favourite drink without paying high restaurant prices....

Firstly don’t be out off by the location and interior look of this restaurant - it very much feels like a ‘back street Indian’ restaurant, but the reality is somewhat different. The menu is very good and service attentive and friendly. The restaurant don’t have...

It's been too long since our last visit and it was no surprise that Hope Street is maintaining the highest standards of food, service and all-round welcoming hospitality that some other venues can only "hope" for. It was quite busy - and deserves to be...

Hats off to the chef for the scrumptious food and to the manager for excellent customer service. The steak was a lovely medium well and Thai green curry was superb.

Bustling, busy environment with super good food. It’s a bring-your-own-bottle restaurant, which was no issue.. the place was packed (make a reservation!). The menu is vegan/vegetarian friendly but also has excellent protein options. Don’t skip out on the dessert menu, either. The service was absolutely...

Visited for my husbands 30th on a trip to Belfast. The taxi driver had no idea where it was which worried us initially and it was up a backstreet in Belfast. However once in there the atmosphere was fantastic, busy and you can see why....

A wonderful restaurant which served a delicious meal. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the service was fantastic. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to friends and family

Excellent food and fantastic service with friendly and welcoming staff - Would definitely return to this restaurant and would recommend to friends

Fantastic service and delicious food, very friendly and helpful staff, lovely relaxing evening over a beautiful dinner

Very friendly and efficient service and excellent food; and BYO ! Enjoy your own choice of wine at £5/bottle corkage rather than the usual trebling and quadrupling of the retail price.

Just eaten there 2 nights in a row. Couldn’t wait to go back. Had the Pork Belly first time and Brisket tonight. My wife had the Salmon night 1 and Sea Bass tonight. Unfortunately leaving Belfast tomorrow so we can’t continue through the menus, which...

A cosy setting full of charm and atmosphere. The early menu is full of choices for all tastes with the starter selection being impressive. There’s a great range of mains and we were stuck for choice. I chose the sirloin and my partner the sea...

Excellent centrally located but secluded little gem . Lovely courteous staff , very nice food , BYO for a small corkage fee. Very buzzy atmosphere without being noisy . Pre theatre is excellent value . Loved it ! Absolutely nothing to quibble about . We...

Very Good. Although it was loud, they noticed and moved us to a more quiet location and gave us a little starter (that they didn't normally give out, just to be nice) The kids menu was great.

Great menu with wide range of dishes including very good vegetarian options. Friendly & welcoming staff . We will visit again when next in Belfast. Thank you.l

We visited this place Saturday night and place was full .we were a group of 8 family members visiting Belfast. Our table was pre booked and was available on time. Every thing was just perfect from starter till desserts . Food was really fresh, flavourful...

Food was very average. The kids goujons were very very greasy. My wife had the haddock and it was grease puddle. I had the Thai curry and it was ok, not long enough cooked through so the spices hadn’t mixed through. Unfortunately I will not...

Delicious and great quality. Top class customer service. Food is cooked to perfection and staff go above and beyond!

Best food my partner and I have had in a long time at a restaurant, staff are very friendly and professional, table service wasn’t an issue, as well as the atmosphere! Great value for money also, 10/10 will definitely be back in the near future!

Lovely meal with friends. Delicious, well presented and clean. Staff were helpful in taking our orders and serving food. Very attentive with us, going above and beyond. Would highly recommend. A big thank you Team Hope Street.

The food here is fabulous. Great choices of starters and mains. BYO drinks. We had the pre show menu which was fantastic. Very well run and great service. Can’t recommend enough.

Beautiful food and really friendly and helpfull staff had a lovely evening will go back not expensive definitely worth a visit

Went here at the recommendation of the reception manager in Hampton by Hilton as we needed last minute dinner plans. He was able to quickly phone and get us a table sorted and oh my it did not disappoint. Service was next level and the...

Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this place is a little gem. We are over from England on our wedding anniversary, and so when reviewing restaurants I wanted somewhere really nice, and this place kept coming up in all the reviews,...
