Lúnasa Cafe in Belfast

Place to hangout with friends excellent coffee u get there nice place to chill with friends. Love it

Lunasa has now closed on 10 August. This was a brave experiment located in a challenging downtown part of Belfast. We had a standing reservation for Friday nights and got to know Elena and Jokin and their wonderful staff. Their tapas was authentic and better than 99.99999% of any tapas we experienced in Spain. Lets hope they revive and continue

All the tapas favourites served in a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. The best type of comfort food, the cashel blue croquetas are to die for!

Super little tapas restaurant, off the beaten track but well worth a visit. Authentic tapas prepared by Spanish chefs and super friendly service, looking forward to a return visit!

Amazing tapas at great prices and delicious food. Casual cafe but great service and the Spanish couple who are the chefs know how to cook. It is also BYOB so it is a very cheap night.

I live in Belfast for 2 years and I just discovered Lunasa! We went there for a date. Actually the interior was not really amazing - simple and not really cozy, but food was AMAZING! We tried 8 tapas and majority of them were superior (garlic/butter prowns YUM YUM). The other great thing is u can bring your own drinks. Team working there are all smiley and kind people. We will defo come back!

was brought here by friends and so had no expectations. Its BYO, and its a no frills cafe but food is excellent and the staff are lovely. would go back.

Would love to tried, but a very strange way to try and get a table booked. Slow response and incorrect phone numbers....

We were very excited to discover Lunasa. Somewhere different to go,with tasty food, BYO and great value. Alas, subsequent visits have not been as enjoyable. Service can be very slow, on ocassions you have to go and ask for a menu and it can take up to an hour before any food arrives. Don't even think about phoning to make a reservation as bookings are made via Facebook and calls are not returned. Doors open at 6.30 on Saturdays evenings, and guess what, the staff arrive at 6.30 too. Not a great start to the evening. The quality of food is suffering, as the staff seem to be under so much pressure, but when it's good, it's good. We won't give up on Lunasa yet. It's certainly worth one more visit, but staff need to review the running of their establishment to make sure it's as successful as it can and should be.

fantastic little tapas restaurant Cheap eat, but its good grub in a chilled enviroment and BYOB. The staff are very friendly and helpful

There are lots of good things about this restaurant so I don't want to be too harsh. It is a small place with a nice atmosphere and it feels quite unique in Belfast. However when I went here with my friends the biggest issue was service. We sat for along time without anyone coming near us and we had to eventually go up and ask to be served. We had to ask for water twice, the food took a long time to come and we were never offered a dessert at the end. I think they were busy but they may be need more staff. The food is good but some parts of it seemed to be overheated/ dried out. There were some bits of chorizo that we couldn't cut through. I wonder if they might benefit from a smaller menu. The bill was only £15/each but in reality that didn't include drinks (it's byo) and I probably has the equivalent of one course only.

Visited this afternoon 3.30pm, we had a selection of tapas including tortilla, croquetas, fritura mista, fried aubergine with honey, serrano ham tomato & garlic sauce, all first rate served by owner/ chef, very quiet in terms of guests, but can imagine on a busy weekend nite the place would be buzzing, no charge for b. Y. O. Food good, service great, totally recommend this place, support this great eaterie, a great place for a grand repast at a very economical price.

Visited Lunasa on a Saturday night, the tapas were great - we ordered 8 small plates between two people. Very good value, a total of £20 and it's BYO. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Nice relaxed atmosphere. We will be back to sample more tapas!

Wonderful tapas, friendly, laid back staff; bring your own drinks... when we visited, there was so great local artwork for sale at the restaurant. I think they also have music sessions on occasion.

Fantastic food. Great prices. Bring your own. Lovely staff. If you don't visit when in Belfast, then you're missing out.

Really nice place for tapas. We had about five tapas each and a cheese and ham board to share and it was really too much food. They offered nearly thirty dishes - impressive. And the food was really excellent. Informal place and good atmosphere. Very...

Lunasa is a fantastic hidden gem of Belfast, with spanish owners who clearly have a passion for their craft! Really recommended, and brilliant for dinner with large groups with wine!

Absolutely super tapas. Probably the best I’ve had outside of Spain. Really friendly and knowledgable staff. Me gusta mucho 😍

This cafe is run as a cooperative, the food is really good, the people friendly, the atmosphere warm and the prices cheap. It is also a good community hub, supporting many worthwhile local causes.

Helena. - the lady in charge - is a properly qualified tapas chef. And it shows most food cooked from fresh so you may have a shortish wait but well worth the wait. Some people might be a bit wary of some dishes but the...

Absolutely delicious food that tastes just as if it’s homemade accompanied by very friendly and good service. The price makes it a great value as well. I will certainly be back.

My wife and I dined in Lunasa on Saturday evening - our daughter had previously visited this restaurant and recommended it. It can be quite hard to find as it is in King Street - a small street off Castle Street. Our taxi driver didn't...

I’ve visited this restaurant a few times throughout the year and keep coming back as I’m very impressed with the food at Lunasa. It has a very casual interior and casual atmosphere so it’s perfect for dinner with friends. Food is very tasty, authentic and...

We use to go every Friday for tapas! It is the best place in Belfast for an informal and super tasty dinner. Not just really good mediterranean style food...they serve the best tortilla in town! The staff is really friendly and helpful, excellent quality and...

Food was okay nothing special, but if you are a big group of people they don't let order individual tapas, you have to order the shared tapas which is inconvenient.

Loved Lunasa's bohemian interior and relaxed ambience. An unassuming cafe which serves Spanish tapas and paella late on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. The BYOB policy plus a wealth of vegetarian/ vegan dishes equals an eatery, which once discovered, is so good you'll want to...

They have the best tapas in Belfast as Spanish style in town! I have tried all tapas on the menu, every single week :) I have started to feel an addiction for Lunasa because is like being in Spain but in my lovely Belfast, and...

I was invited for a birthday party of Miss Kelly Morris. The tapas are very delicious with reasonable prices. I enjoyed them all. Tasty, yummy. I will go back here for more. The best tapas in Belfast.

Great tapas, freshly cooked, good choice for vegetarians and vegans. BYO. Lively atmosphere. Service can be a little slow and chaotic so be prepared for that. Recommended.

Go on a Fri or Sat night for the best tapas west of Granada ! Prices are very. reasonable for such all cooked fresh ---as tapas should be

We went in last night, for a dinner with friends. The place was packed as we walked in, but we had booked a table in advance, hence we sit right away. The restaurant is a bit messy and spartan, as if you are going to...

Me and my wife went there for lunch. The tapas were amazing. Staff very friendly. Complimentary desserts were out of this world...i can still taste the cheesecake. The price was unbelievable. Planning our next visit on a byo night.

Authentic Spanish food - Great prices and even better food - absolutely delicious! Its on my very short list of places to eat in Belfast. Owners super warm and friendly!

Very busy but friendly and helpful service and good choice of tapas - nearby off licence for extra wine !

I spotted lunasa by chance a while back and stopped for lunch. Menu was different from your standard cafe food which was a welcome surprise. Food was amazing and a bargain! The guy that served us was lovely and knew the menu very well. Definitely...

Stopped of few times and the food is good and the friendly service at all times - one great place to visit.

I love Lunasa. Especially Tapas on a Friday. Family friendly vibes in the heart of the city. Its BYOB which is great and there is music and art and photography. Chirpy place. I <3 Lunasa

Probably the best coffee I had in Belfast. Staff is talkative and friendly too. I had not tried the food on display as already had breakfast but looked inviting.

This is possibly the best cafe in Belfast. Fresh home made food, both from the local and Spanish tradition with plenty of vegetarian options (tortilla baguette is my favourite) and some vegan ones too. Gluten free options available. Popular prices!!!

Cafe is run by a socialist collective , so it's relay cheap. They chat to all the customers, but if you are in a hurry or hungover just say , they won't take it personally. The food is excellent, the chef has an excellent Palate...
