Called in here on our last night in Belfast and wished we had found it sooner. Lovely, friendly staff. Warm and cosy ambience. And the food was just amazing. Never have desserts usually but we did on our visit and they were delicious. In fact all our meals were excellent. Would definitely recommend.

My partner is a coeliac so it's always difficult to find a good gluten free accomodating restaurant. Well now we have, Actons can make 99% of their extensive menu gluten free. The service was excellent and very attentive, the food was delicious and reasonably priced and the overall whole atmosphere was friendly and welcoming.

We are regular customers at Acton & Sons. We have 3 coeliac members of the family, and find the food so tasty and the service fantastic. The scampi is probably our favourite, and my kids enjoy the burger. So many options available!! Thanks to all the staff for always making our visits so enjoyable.

Excellent gluten free options. I had the scampi and chips, gluten free. As a coeliac fried food (separate fryer confirmed) can be tricky but I was absolutely fine and food delicious! Others in the group had lovely food too.

A great, recommended dinner visit on a busy Saturday evening. This place was recommended to us by Bonita from the PremierInn Aflred street. We spoke to the manager Ryan who was really very pleasant and helpful, found us a table for 2 without booking prior (which having known prior we would have in advance). Excellent service from all staff with the drinks and food ordered and delivered to the table within 15 minutes of us arriving. The food was a generous portion, not greasy, extremely tasty and well cooked and very hot! Excellent quality and range to suit all people of all tastes. We will definitely return here and recommend this place to all that visit Belfast City Centre, originally family run restaurant that is clean and modern with a great vibe. It is rather loud during peak times, as with anywhere, but the staff and overall experience isnt any worse for it!

The food is of a very high standard and super tasty. I had the Halloumi Fries and the Sweet Potato Falafel which were presented immaculately and tasted superb,then the Strawberry Pavlova that was crisp on the outside and oh my word so gorgeous and chewy in the middle served with a Strawberry compote .

A panicked Google after realising our hotel food was dreadful brought us here by chance. The food and staff were so wonderful that we went two evenings in a row. I have a son who is an extremely fussy eater and he was delighted with his chicken and chips. The first night I had a vegan poke bowl and my partner had the cajun chicken and veg skewers. Both were absolutely lovely, presented beautifully we agreed we'd have them again. The second night was the same, I had the chorizo and red pepper chicken and sweet potato fries, my partner had the most melt I your mouth sirloin steak, gorgeous hot chicken wings and we both had cocktails and deserts too. The food alone would make you come back. However what struck us was the atmosphere and attitude of the staff. How friendly and accommodating they were with our buggy, the specifics on some foods (again, my son being a fussy eater) and coming to check in on us even though they were busy. We were even greeted at the door the second night by a staff member with a hello your back again, lovely to see you. And separately, the manager asked us if we would like the same drinks order as the night before. Little touches like that are hard to find and showed us how truly great the staff here are. The place the second night in particular was quite busy but watching the staff move about you could easily see how coordinated and together they were. The place itself is spacious and comfy, there's a lovely cosy waiting area, a beautiful big window letting lots of light in and tables to cater big groups throughout the restaurant. I couldn't recommend this place enough.

We had a lovely lunch here today very friendly good service .We shared a small plate of teriyaki chicken £6 as a starter and it was delicious. Both of us then had the lunch special of the prawn Thai red curry £10 again delicious. We had a lemon posset and a pecan pie for dessert they were very small portions costing 6.50 not as good as the other courses .Overall a nice experience and we'll be back .

The only issue we had was that one of our drinks orders was forgotten about, however once we flagged it with the manager she made sure they were delivered straight away and as an apology removed the drinks from the bill, which was extremely generous and such a lovely gesture.

Como un grupo de nueve, pedimos una variedad de opciones y, sin falta, la comida de todos se sirvió a la perfección.

Bien, qué puedo decir. Pasé por este lugar varias veces y el miércoles por la noche decidí reservar una mesa para el programa de comer fuera, asistimos mis 4 hijas y yo, nos sentamos muy rápido, por supuesto que habíamos reservado y una había llegado antes que nosotros. Los pedidos de bebidas se tomaron antes de que llegara nuestro conductor designado después de estacionar el automóvil. Se perdió la orden de bebidas original, pero la camarera vino y le preguntó si deseaba una bebida. Iba a pedir un refresco pero la mesera la vio mirando a sus hermanas Strawberry Daquiari y le preguntó si deseaba uno sin alcohol, para alegría de mi hija mayor que conducía ella estuvo de acuerdo y eso hizo sonreír a todos, incluido el camarera jajaja. La comida fue rápida y excelente. . . la lubina fue absolutamente encantadora. El único defecto que no fue la camarera o el personal fue que los mejillones se agotaron por la decepción de una de mis hijas, pero la camarera sugirió cigalas que no estaban en el menú y como este era uno de sus platos favoritos, estaba sonriendo. Cuando vinieron, estaban encantadores y la masa tan ligera (robé algunas en la mesa mientras comía). .Se pidió postre y se recomienda encarecidamente el posset de limón. Mi hija (que se perdió los mejillones) ordenó a Sorbet que le dijeran que estaban fuera de uno de los sabores para su decepción. ¡Qué mala suerte podía tener un niño pidiendo comida! ! Sin embargo, la camarera vino con los postres y le dijo a mi hija que se había asegurado de agregar una porción extra de sorbete debido a que se había perdido el sorbete de mango y maracuyá y los mejillones. Esto complació enormemente a mi hija adolescente de 18 años.En general, una comida encantadora para todos y el ambiente encantador tampoco nos apuraron de la mesa y pasamos una agradable velada. Volveremos a este establecimiento.

Ahora estas costillas eran buenas para los estándares irlandeses (las costillas en general en el Reino Unido / Irlanda no son tan carnosas y jugosas como en los Estados Unidos).Uno de los pocos lugares en los que uno puede conseguir papas fritas / fritos.Ah, y el personal era razonablemente amable, no tan frío como Molly's Yard.

Mijn man had een waanzinnig mals stuk steak (Irish sirloin) en ik had op aanraden van de bediening een heerlijk kipgerecht. Ook de gerechten vooraf en als dessert waren om te smullen.

Good place to get a great dinner, place was busy so made a reservation for later in the evening. Back after a pint in the Crown Bar ( close by ) and made welcome, had the chicken pate followed by a Duffys steak, very good. You might walk past it from its exterior appearance, but worth going in.

Three of us had an early lunch here in a central Belfast area. We had a well lit booth (good for old eyes) at the back as we were some of the first clients in the restaurant. It got quite busy in the next hour. Our food was well presented, good, and the wine list adequate for red and white wine drinkers. An enjoyable lunch with family.

This is the first time I have been in this restaurant and it will NOT be the last! It is kinda off the beaten path but a definite hidden gem and I did not know it was there until a friend recommended it. The staff are unbelievably helpful and so friendly. If you get the lassie staff member Alexandra you are in for a treat... she really makes the whole experience in her service and friendliness a delight to dine there. The food was gorgeous... for starters we had basket of bread [onion bread is brill] with sizzling Portavogie prawns with chilli, chorizo and garlic...the prawns come with bread too!!! beautiful... For the main meal, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS, we had the Duffy 3 week aged sirloin steak which comes with the choose of sauce and side-order... I choose the Blue cheese sauce which was awesome but the steak!!! WOW! just melted in your mouth and what flavour...excellent :-) We rounded it all with a Knickerbocker Glory desert which was surprisingly light despite the amount..really really nice... also I noticed outside an attractive area where you can sit, have a drink and watch the world go by [I guess good for any smokers out there too] and have to say it is really pleasant in apperance... all in all a brilliant experience and a must go to restaurant... Thank you again Alexandra for your hospitality...

I visited this restaurant for lunch a year ago and made a beeline for it again, as I had enjoyed my steak previously and was in the mood for the same again! This time I was with two friends and we each enjoyed our meal. My steak was perfectly cooked and another diner had a delicious salmon salad, and the third diner had chicken kiev. Maybe there could have been a bit more garlic butter in the chicken (it's always nice when it oozes out), but everything was well cooked and tasty and the service was very friendly indeed. It's not a fancy place to eat but you'll get a good meal here at a reasonable price.

Great gluten free options. Food is wonderful. Service is even better. I now make a point to visit whenever I am in Belfast.

Nicest restaurant I've been to in a while! Went twice whilst visiting Belfast as i stayed just opposite at the Maldron Hotel. Drinks arrivee quickly and the food was outstanding - had the halloumi fries to start which were to die for! They were done in honey and chilli i think and they were so tasty and for main, both times, I had the Duck with Dauphinose potatoes and a red wine jus. Duck was cooked perfectly to order and everything about the meal was delicious. Our waitress was also lovely, (petite, pixie-hair) making sure everything was okay. Even on Saturday when it was busy and we hadn't booked, they managed to squeeze us in! Will definitely return when i come back to Belfast!

Tuvimos un pequeño almuerzo aquí en un día tranquilo. El servicio fue amable y el menú incluye varias opciones vegetarianas, y pueden proporcionar variantes veganas de la mayoría de ellas. Varios también pueden prepararse sin gluten y el personal parecía muy bien informado en cuanto a los ingredientes utilizados, etc. La comida era excelente. Tenía un curry que, sinceramente, sabía mejor que otro que había probado más tarde en un auténtico lugar indio, ¡eso dice mucho! Recomiendo el hummus con pan plano, que puede volver a estar libre de gluten, como entrante, probablemente fue el mejor hummus que he probado.

Vaya, este lugar estaba saltando el sábado a primera hora de la noche, pero incluso mientras caminábamos, nos sentamos casi de inmediato. Opción decente de menú, catering para veganos / vegetarianos también. El servicio era impecable, al igual que la comida. El filete plano de hierro solo está disponible cocinado raro, pero era muy tierno y no se dejó un trozo en el plato. La merluza especial de mi compañero también fue excelente. Sin embargo, los precios de los alimentos fueron promedio - el vino, como siempre, aumenta el precio - las garrafas de 500 ml @ 15+ son una buena idea.

El ambiente era maravilloso. Encantadora música en vivo El servicio fue estupendo. Tenía 2 platos pequeños: champiñones rellenos y pan con chorizo. Muy bien hecho, único y de buen gusto. Tal vez no sea el mejor lugar para la carne por mi marido. Sundaes para el postre eran excelentes. Lo recomendaría encarecidamente, me alegro de haberlo hecho. Intentaremos visitarlo nuevamente antes de irnos.

He estado aquí dos veces en el último mes porque hay muchas opciones para las personas que siguen una dieta sin gluten.

Rigtigt lækker mad (jeg fik spareribs) og til en god pris, selvom de er dyrere end de andre steder, der ligger omkring, så er maden så meget bedre. Det er hjemmelavet og sundere end de andres fastfood-tilbud.

Mi novio y yo nos quedamos en Belfast el sábado por la noche. Hombre típico que no reservaba para cenar. Telefoneamos a Acton & Sons a las 5: 30 o del sábado por la noche y nos pudieron exprimir a las 7: 30, lo cual agradecimos mucho. Era un paseo de 30 segundos desde nuestro hotel, que era muy conveniente. Muy céntrica ubicación. Llegamos para ser recibidos por un hombre que abría la puerta a los clientes, hermoso gesto. Nos sentamos y todo el personal era muy atento. Habíamos pedido nuestra comida y tuvimos nuestra primera ronda de bebidas servidas a los 5 minutos de estar sentados, lo que creo que es genial. Tuve una serie de cócteles que estaban fuera de este mundo. Nuestra comida fue servida rápidamente y fue cocinada a la perfección, comida increíble. ¡Sin mencionar los postres, para morirse! En general, tuvimos una gran experiencia aquí y sin duda volveremos! 100% Recomienda.

Visited here last week for the first time with friends for lunch . Nice place.... not amazing but nice . Food was good and we all enjoyed it . I would come back .. strange looking decor on the outside but really there’s nothing exciting that I can say about it ... and on the other hand nothing bad to say either .

I used to eat weekly in Acton’s (when they still had a Son), and remember writing that I had never had a bad meal there. My circumstances changed, and it’s probably been a year since I last visited. I found myself in that neck of the woods today, and decided to treat myself.

Muy decepcionado. Íbamos al Teatro Lírico por 7. 30 pm y pensé que esto sería útil. ¡También pensé que reviviríamos algunos de nuestros recuerdos de nuestros días de estudiante mientras estudiamos en Queens! ! El menú sonaba bien. También nos sorprendió gratamente las ofertas de bebidas. Llegamos poco después de las 6 de la tarde y, aparte de una pareja sentada en el bar, éramos la única mesa ocupada, 7 de nosotros en total. Pedimos nuestras comidas a las 6. 20 pm, 4 hamburguesas, 2 papas fritas y una lasaña. Por 6. 50 pm nuestra comida todavía no había sido servida, así que llamé al barman. Se disculpó y explicó que estaban teniendo problemas en la cocina y que tendríamos que esperar más para nuestras comidas. Le expliqué nuestra necesidad de ser atendidos rápidamente. Aparte de las hamburguesas, las otras comidas llegaron unos minutos más tarde. ¡Las hamburguesas llegaron justo después de las 7! ! Estaban secos sin absolutamente ningún aderezo, a pesar de que me dijeron que habría queso y tocino, etc. Me quejé, pero no tuvimos tiempo para una alternativa, así que tuvimos que comer lo que nos sirvieron. ¡Las patatas fritas también estaban frías! ! Nos ofrecieron cobrarnos la mitad del precio por 2 de las hamburguesas. Nuevamente no tuvimos tiempo para discutir o negociar nada diferente. Ya estábamos llegando tarde al teatro. ¡Solo tuvimos que pagar y correr! ! Cuando revisamos la factura de camino al teatro, nos dimos cuenta de que nos habían cobrado de más por TODAS las bebidas. Ninguna de las ofertas se aplicaron: el 1 para todas las bebidas al pedir un plato principal y el 24/7, es decir, 2. 47 para el vino sobre el que había preguntado expresamente. En lugar de comprar dos hamburguesas a mitad de precio, habíamos pagado las probabilidades. Comida extremadamente decepcionante, servicio lento e inaceptable y estafado con "ofertas especiales" como se anuncia en todo el bar y en los menús. ¡Come aquí si te atreves! ! !

Coffee & muffin enjoyable. Pity about the 2 rude staff members on the till. Discussing how they didn’t like a prefectly reasonable request from a customer within their ear shot - not too nice. FYI I visited at 11am on 16/2.

Had a great lunch here at the weekend. I had the buttermilk chicken on a waffle with poached egg and salsa and it was super; the chicken was perfectly cooked and the flavours and textures worked perfectly together. It was so good I ate it slowly as I didn't want it to finish! My wife had the smashed avocado and it worked in exactly the same way. Add to this their lovely locally roasted coffee, a shared brownie to finish, really nice staff leaving two happy punters. Will definitely be back.
