Mourne Seafood Bar in Belfast

Food was sublime, music was perfect, but the service was the best thing about The Mourne Seafood Bar. Thank you for lovely meal and welcome!

They have a fish shop so I didn’t dine in but just picked up some oysters from the fishmonger, they were very fresh and delicious. They also had lots of fresh fish already cleaned and prepped ready to cook and other seafood and shellfish. Highly recommend. The staff were lovely. The fish shop is open on Tuesday-Friday from around 10am-4pm

Went with my son. Was possibly the best food I have had. Service was super friendly but the food..........

Everything was just awesome.. it was a great evening of the Belfast trip… luckily got the reservation… food was yummy, ambiance was lovely… staff was awesome… price is reasonable..

I had high expectations based on the Google reviews, and while the food overall was average, I highly recommend the mussels and seabass. The wine and atmosphere were good, but it didn’t quite meet what I was hoping for.

Love this place. The food is always so fresh and packed with flavor. I think value for money is great. One of my favourite spots.

Great Fish Restraunt serving amazing fresh fish dishes and more. Quality of Food outstanding! Friendly staff.

The risotto with chorizo ​​and clams is AMAZING. Highly recommended for the quality of the food it has!!

A wonderful meal, lots of delicious choices and the food was very good! The service was friendly and much better than in other local restaurants. It was a great choice for a family meal.

Food was incredible. Highly recommend the muscles and fries if you’re hungry! Service was prompt, really friendly and helpful. Food came quickly, potions were more than enough and plating was beautiful. Big thank you to the staff for accommodating us. I will be back the minute I touch down in Belfast again!

I have been going to this restaurant regularly for a number of years it has always been excellent.

Lovely seafood dinner, approx £60pp for starter (oyster), main course (fish chef's special) and dessert + glass of wine Was fully booked online but had a table by walk-in Friendly staff

Visit on Sep 29, 2024 Great seafood place in the heart of Belfast Fresh fish, warm service, the lighting could be brighter though One of the best fish and chips, very flaky, crispy dough, airy enough. The mussels are to die for, salty brine and light cream. Clam chowder is on thick consistency type, very filling

Somewhere I would highly recommend any traveller to Belfast make the time to visit. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable about their menu and took their time understanding your needs. Food was of the highest quality, excellent oysters, well presented and the beef was amongst the tenderest I've experienced anywhere.

Belfast is of course a sea town and you can expect to find amazing seafood here. This was a stop on the Belfast food tour. A simple pair of oysters, locally harvested this morning and shucked just before consumption, this was delicious. An absolutely perfect snack and I will need to return to see what else we have for a meal here later.

Get the scallop and chorizo risotto! Ot was delicious!

Service was quick and efficient, staff are professional and friendly enough. Food is not what I expected it to be. I was a little disappointed but then perhaps my expectations were too high. Would probably go again, but wouldn't rush to return at the same time.

Great seafood restaurant in the heart of Belfast. Book your table for having dinner on weekends. Delicious food, fair prices and a friendly service. I sat in front of the cooking area so it's been a warm place but I've seen people with jackets on. Maybe @Mournes you could turn on the heater :-) We will definitely come back!

Intimate space and super seafood. We had a range of options in our group so tried lots of dishes. Really enjoyable occasion.

Rarely have I eaten so well and found such excellent service... the fish is very fresh... excellent quality!!! Cooked excellently.... Iva is a fabulous manager who made us feel good!!!

I had a beautiful 1/2 lobster. Reasonable prices, great food

7 years ago my wife and I had the best seafood chowder of our lives. Even now that I have moved countries i still can remember the amazing chowder. will definitely come back if given the chance.

Underwhelming I'm afraid. I make a point of going to a fish resturant when ever I am away on a UK vacation and by comparason to many others that I have been to not so special. I cannot think of anything that stood out as exceptional

Great experience overall thanks !

Lovely food and excellent service, especially from Scott their very talented mixologist who took special care of us! Thank you so much 😊 👍

Absolutely lovely dinner, and I had the best cocktail I've ever tried- the Rhuberry Blast, not too sweet as I usually find with them, it was divine. Friendly and competent staff too! Thank you!

Let's start with the food, Amazing food, fresh, tasty, well presented. The staffs were very kind, attentive. The atmosphere it is cozy, do way I like, a small restaurant/bar with few tables. I recommend book a table in advance and definitely we will go back. There is a shopping close to the restaurant that you can park your car, the car park closes at midnight.

Went here when I still lived in Northern Ireland. Best mussels I've ever had. 5/5, would definitely recommend. Amazing place. Update for 2024: Came back here for a dinner with family, one of my younger siblings was indecisive and the staff were really helpful with finding something he'd like. 10/10!!!

Best Gluten free fish n' chips I've ever had in the world!

Scallop seafood spaghetti tasted like leftover cat food mixed with a tin of Heinz spaghetti. I mean they tried, but it was dire. Gotta be blunt.

Delicious fresh seafood restaurant. Quick and efficient. Service is a little rushed. The mussels are fantastic!

Very good quality. Top freshness and taste

A relatively small and homely restaurant in the heart of Belfast. They have a select menu and everything is delicious. We went as a group with 3 special dietary needs and we were all catered for as almost every dish could be made gluten free. Our server was delightful, friendly, full of helpful suggestions. Highly recommend

The food is great, one of the best I had in Belfast.

Food was delicious. We shared the mussels, squid and a Lobster gratin special. Staff were all friendly and our waitress even took the time to write out the recipe for the post dinner cocktail (orange espresso martini) we enjoyed so much. Our kids enjoyed it too. Would definitely go again when next in Belfast. Book ahead though as it was very busy.

The sea bass is exquisite and the lobster with shrimp is very delicious. The service is good and exquisite.

Top quality food with a 1st class service

Excellent seafood in a relatively cozy restaurant.

Fantastic seafood eatery set in the middle of Belfast CBD. Service was fantastic, food was even better. It's a small venue, highly advise you to make a booking. Would return tenfold.

We were told by our local guide this was the best seafood in Belfast. We didn't try others but have no reason to. The food was excellent and the staff were great. I would recommend making a reservation as there is very limited seating.

Great atmosphere. Food was good and reasonably priced.

If you like seafood this is the place to be! With a beautiful ambiance and very relaxed. The waiting staff are amazing and nothing is to much especially Eva who made our experience special. The menu is easy with a great selection Everything is just so tasty! Highly recommend

Great service and wonderful food. Best fish restaurant in Belfast :)

One of our favourites. Staff are amazing just like the food.

Excellent fish restaurant in the center of Belfast. Small and minimal environment, very fast and efficient service, excellent cuisine

A nice little spot, with great and friendly service. I ordered the muscles and prawns and was happy with both.

The servers were rude and unwelcoming! The only damper on the evening Perhaps when the tip is being included on your bill ( the only restaurant that did this our entire trip) they don’t need to bother being either polite or friendly. Miserable attitudes

Fantastic meal at Mourne and the waitress was really nice and helpful.

Last night enjoyed a wonderful meal at Belfast’s best seafood restaurant, oysters, prawns, mussels & lobster all prepared beautifully and served by an attentive staff, GO!

Oysters🦪 are slightly fishy, ​​but fish and shrimp are good

Great place with delicious food.. Every time we come to Belfast, we visit this restaurant

This was by far our favourite restaurant during our trip to Belfast. The food was so fresh, comforting and well cooked. The oysters were the best we have ever had. What really set this restaurant apart was the excellent staff. They were friendly, welcoming, genuinely interested in their customers and had great knowledge of the products. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Belfast!

Best Customer Service I've had in a long time. Food was great too 😊

Great range of delicious seafood dishes and an excellent value lunch menu

The food was good, but in my opinion it wasn't great for the price. The Tuscan shrimp was a bit on the sweet side and everything was really bathed in sauce. The service was fine, but again, not great. We had to keep getting people's attention to order and get the check. We eventually went up to the bar to pay because the server wasn't coming back. All in all, it was good, but not great.

Booking highly recommended. Food was fantastic and well priced. Great staff and nice atmosphere.

Great food, classic recipes, casual atmosphere

After reading the great reviews we were terribly disappointed with our meal here; perhaps we chose the wrong dishes but the linguine was terrible, too much of the pre made sugary sauce with a herb that didn't quite work (perhaps tarragon) and not enough seafood. Linguine and it's sauce should be made fresh. The hostess /waitress heard one of our orders wrong and barked at us when we let her know, telling me it was what I had ordered. It wasn't. She seems very stressed and annoyed in general, stomping around the place. Would not recommend this restaurant but there's a good pub next door.

Despite slow service(the restaurant was understaffed with only two servers for the fully booked dinner seatings), the food was hot, fresh and well-prepared. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal and I would definitely eat there again on my next visit to Belfast.

Mourne Seafood Bar in Belfast offers a delightful culinary experience. Their fresh seafood selection is outstanding, prepared with care and expertise. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff make dining here a pleasure. A must-visit for seafood lovers.....

The food is great. This would be an easy four stars if the service was better. I think we waited over an hour to eat. The Hake (which was chefs special) was a favorite. The casserole is more like a stew, and each bite is a surprise to what it might be. It’s also a messy dish to eat.

Really lovely place, nice decor, great atmosphere including the music and the food is wonderful. The staff are really nice and make good cocktails.

Was a bit disappointed, had the fish and chips, batter was soggy Salted chilli squid was nice tho

We enjoyed a splendid dinner at Mourne, with brilliant food and wine, a lovely cocktail and exemplary and attentive service in a very lively atmosphere. The chowder and the monkfish scampi were particularly lovely and the whole dining experience was memorable. It was also great value. Mourne Seafood Bar should be on every Belfast visitor's itinerary.

First night in Belfast, booked based on reviews, and ate some of the best seafood I've ever tasted. Started with oysters which were superb, and thoroughly enjoyed the hake & champ main course. My wife loved the monkfish scampi. What a great star tto our trip.

The restaurant is a gem. Absolutely delicious, fresh seaford - we had the mussels and the monk fish scampi. I have never ever tasted better scampi in my life, absolutely amazing. Along with this the service was efficient and very friendly, the atmosphere was buzzy without being too noisy and we loved the whole experience. Outstanding! If you get the chance, go.

Everything was perfect, cocktails, food, wine, service, our waiter went above and beyond and we were so pleased with everything. Can’t wait to return to Mourne Seafood.

We were very eager to have lunch at Mourne Seafood Bar, and the Carlingford oysters and seafood chowder were exactly as amazing as we hoped. The restaurant is cozy and comfortable, as well. However, our service was erratic. We sat unattended for over 30 minutes after being finishing our oysters, waiting for our soup to be served, and the waiter did not bring a condiment as requested for our chips. We had to get up and ask about our food. I recommend Mourne simply because the food was delicious, but don’t go if you have somewhere to be afterwards.

Very disappointed on meal....has been a favourite for many years..I bought this gift voucher for family as I always do,their wish....not again....

A great spot. I got the chilli squid and the mussels. Super yummy. The mussels had a sauce that was really nice and creamy. The squid wasn't over fried and actually decently light. Also the Parmesan truffle fries were very tasty. I got the mezcal dessert drink that was pretty decent. The sticky toffee pudding, was pretty yummy. The whole place was quite lively!

Good but nothing special. Expensive in comparison to other establishments offering better food. The most disappointing meal of our trip to Belfast

My husband and I were excited to try this place out when visiting Belfast after a recommendation from our friend. We ordered the mussels and squid for starters. The mussels were beautifully presented and tasted excellent. The squid was great but the portion size was a bit small for the price. For mains, we ordered the seabass on the bone which was seasoned perfectly. I really enjoyed the flavours of this dish. The seafood casserole was also delicious. We ordered a chocolate fondant to share for dessert, but there was some confusion amongst the staff. We waited 20 minutes to finally receive it. I assume the waiter who we initially ordered with forgot to put the other through to the kitchen, and the second waitress followed this up for us. The chocolate fondant itself was a bit dry and a bit of a let down for the evening. All in all, some great seafood and a relaxed atmosphere.

Food always great. And front of house staff always pleasant and very welcoming.

Wow! Great service and amazing food! I had oysters for starters and the seafood pasta for mains, wow, best seafood pasta of my life. It was perfect!

Great service, absolutely amazing food! I had the seafood pasta, it was absolutely delicious. I’m thinking of going there again tonight to have the same meal!

As two seafood lovers, we had been looking forward to going for ages, and it did not disappoint! We booked a Saturday night before a concert in St. Annes Cathedral. We found the staff to be very helpful in explaining each course we enquired about and accompanying wines. Service was great, and the food and wines were delicious. I'm definitely going to book a return visit.

Everything was impeccable and the staff is amazing. I definitely recommend it.

This was brilliant food and fantastic service making the whole evening amazing! Possibly some of the best fish I have ever eaten also! The staff were super friendly and helpful and make the experience superb!! Can’t recommend enough!

Best oysters in Belfast! Amazing seafood chowder. And the coconut margarita was yummy! Other dishes looked great too but this was all I tried. They're always busy. Make a reservation if you can or come when they open and be really nice to the staff and they might be able to sneak you in 😉

My recent visit to Mourne Seafood Bar, touted as a must-visit spot in Belfast, unfortunately, left a bitter taste in my mouth. Recommended by the host of my Airbnb, my friends and I were eager to indulge in what we hoped would be a memorable dining experience, especially as it marked the final meal of our Belfast trip. However, what should have been a delightful evening quickly turned sour. Upon perusing the menu, we were served glasses of water by a female waitress, only to discover a fly resting on the water's surface. Politely, I requested a replacement, but to my surprise, no apology was extended, and even after my repeated requests, a new glass of water was not promptly provided. The disappointments continued to mount as our drinks were inexplicably delayed, despite the restaurant not being particularly busy. To our dismay, upon finally receiving our drinks, we discovered an unknown a blurry foreign substance floating inside one of the beers. Once again, our concerns were met with a lack of apology or acknowledgment from the waitress. Frustrated by the series of mishaps, I sought out the supposed manager of the restaurant to address the situation. While he offered an apology and promised to provide our ordered drinks for free as compensation, it was disheartening to discover upon receiving the bill that the price of one of the drinks had not been removed. Expressing my disappointment, I requested the removal of the service charge. However, to my dismay, I was informed that the complimentary drinks were considered the compensation for the service charge. Feeling as though I had no other option, I reluctantly paid the fee. While I understand that mistakes can happen in any establishment, the lack of accountability, disregard for basic hygiene, and dismissive attitude towards customer concerns were deeply troubling. Furthermore, the subtle microaggressions encountered throughout our interaction left me questioning the inclusivity and professionalism of Mourne Seafood Bar. In conclusion, my experience at Mourne Seafood Bar was overshadowed by subpar service and unaddressed microaggressions, detracting from what should have been a memorable dining experience in Belfast.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. We both had whole roasted sea bass with vegetables. So fresh and well-cooked. My friend had panacotta for desert, she loved.

Maybe my expectations were too high, but I was disappointed in my dish. I got the Seafood Casserole which wasn’t well described on the menu and I wasn’t able to determine what fish were in the dish. Disappointed no scallops. My starter of avocado ceviche had almost no avocado. The sticky toffee pudding tasted old.

Visiting from Dublin. Booked here for dinner. We were very happy with out meals. Really well prepared and tasty. Our waitress was really nice and friendly. Definitely will be back.

Lovely little restaurant, lighting great, music good, service excellent and food was great. I had the seafood chowder to start which was absolutely delicious. The scampi main was also lovely with a nice amount of sauce and delicious salad. complementary water always welcome and the Rioja by the glass is highly recommended.

Very good seafood place - we all had the fish and chips and were very happy with it! Usually quite busy so recommend booking in advance.

A super seafood restaurant. We were 3 and had seafood for starters and main. Everything was delicious. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

Great evening in a brilliant venue. Food and service were excellent.

Good food and great service! Very welcoming staff

Excellent value for money, with fresh ingredients and a very classic seafood menu. Chowder was the star of the show for me, and the Carlingford oysters hit the spot. As a manager of a seafood restaurant back home, it was nice to be the other side of the experience. The service was pleasant and not over bearing, a quick recommendation on specials and then into a simple and quick dining experience. Would happily return next time I’m in Belfast.

Highly recommend mourne seafood, our meal was flawless, portions were fair and flavour was beautiful.

As always, the food and service was excellent.

Looking at the dark lights in the store from the outside, I thought it was not open, but in fact it was open and there were customers in the store; their oysters were crispy but very small; there were six langoustines in a portion, which looked very good. It was ok but the food was bland and tasteless.

What a fantastic eveneing. Myself and my Partner came here to celebrate our 2nd anniversary (as it was where we had our first date) and we were blown away by the kindness of the staff and of course, the quality of the food. We were accomodated in every way, with well wishes for our anniversary and fulfilling the request of letting us have the table at which we had our first date! Hats off especially to Scott and Eva for outstanding customer service, friendly nature and welcoming personalities. Keep setting the bar for kindness! Will for sure be back for anniversary number 3!

Service very poor, felt as an English person we were ignored in favour of local customers. Waitress attitude dreadful. Food no better than OK. Definitely not London standards but London prices.

Food was lovely, would have liked one extra bit of scampi. Dont know how I feel about the optional service charge.

Just got some oysters at the fish bar, better than waiting about

Lovely food, friendly staff, reasonably priced. The menu is not extensive but when it's done this well that's not a problem in my book. Recommended!

fabulous seafood restaurant, great choices on the menu. Good service

Eva and Conor were booth outstanding and food was delicious will definitely be back 10/10 highly recommend ……………………..

We made a booking ,we were very interested in trying this restaurant. I ordered Fish & chips, usually very good. The fish was OK it was on a bed of over cooked, reheated chips. I ate the best ones. My wife order the seabass on the bone. She asked the waitress to have it deboned. It wasn't. When I went to pay the bill she said she hadn't asked the chef. There was a 10% service charge on the bill. All in all it was a disappointing experience. I will not be back.
