Stock Kitchen and Bar in Belfast

City Wedding Reception with a difference. Excellent quality of food and attentive staff. Great ambience.

Our meals were outstanding; the service was flawless. About a week later, we realised we’d been charged twice for a bottle of wine. We called Stock; without any quibble, they refunded the full cost of the wine. Moreover, the manner in which our query was received was exemplary. It’s a brilliant example of excellent customer relations.

Stock Kitchen and Bar is a fine dining establishment with impeccable standards with only the freshest ingredients sourced from various locations throughout Northern Ireland. The wine list is extensive as is the menu.The dishes we ate were absolutely delicious and moreish. The service was efficient and friendly. We look forward to our next visit to this fine establishment!

I always have excellent service and a pint here after a hard day working in the market on a Sunday and the barman who serves me is second to none. I don't know his name but he's a hard worker and is always a pleasure to talk to. Credit where credit is due.

Absolutely outstanding from start to finish ...can't wait to re visit many thanks

Fantastic food and attentive team! Great gf options. Cocktails were also really good!

Relaxed atmosphere in this unpretentious bar/restaurant above the market. Swift, cheerful service. Varied selection of comfort foods, freshly prepared and served in generous portions. Good selection of wines, beers and other beverages at reasonable prices.

Had probably one of the best fish meals ever! Flavours and presentation were first class and service was efficient and friendly. Highly recommend the seafood casserole ( if you don’t mind shells), and really I was spoilt for choice where the menu was concerned. It is on the pricey side but so well worth it. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.

We ate lunch here today. I've been in Europe since June (mostly France) and this was the best meal my husband and I had. The chicken was moist and perfectly seasoned; the vegetables were farm fresh and plentiful; the mashed potatoes were the best I've ever had (probably partly owing to the large amount of fresh butter in them!). The staff was friendly and wanted to make sure we were enjoying. Our server, Zara, was lovely and waited on us with a genuine smile. The setting on the balcony in St George's Market is an added bonus. I highly recommend adding a lunch here to your Belfast itinerary.

The Food and service here is excellent. Really enjoyed my dish… I had the Duck with a nice Rioja red wine😊. Definitely recommend!

Love this place. The food is always amazing but yesterday our hostess Charlotte made the experience. A lovely, genuine girl who gave us great advice on what to eat. Can’t wait to go back!

Can't recommend this place enough. In the upstairs part of the iconic belfast market building. Just stunning. Dover sole was outstanding as was the lamb. If you are in Belfast go and treat yourself, it is totally worth it!!

one tiny tiny oyster for 4 pounds??? poached egg was cooked solid hard like a boil egg. the food was disappointing

Excellent service Excellent quality Loved the meal (breakfast) only downside, don't sit by the fire doors on the balcony as they are noisy as staff use it

Well cooked locally sourced food. Mourne lamb was delicious. But could do with more veg!

Great value isn't always cheap. Case in point - £36 for a main course at lunchtime in Belfast is far from cheap but for a whole turbot roasted on the bone with a lovely selection of really fresh vegetables and a very generous portion of skin on chunky chips its amazing value. All delicious and perfectly cooked fish fresh from the market the restaurant is located above. Great value extended to the champagne - recent survey suggested Belfast has one of the highest mark ups on restaurant wine in the UK at well over 200% being the norm. Bottle of Henri Abele Brut NV at £75 is well below that and a lovely wine. This wasn't a cheap meal but it was great value and rest assured there are plenty of choices on the menu that are also cheap and great value - mussels, chips and a beer looked great and less than many pubs in Belfast. This Danny Millar venue really deserves to be packed.

Good place to eat in good company.

This place is a hidden gem. Great service, really comfortable.

Great food and drink in a nice atmosphere. Wonderful staff.

Absolutely delicious food and a great range of dishes to choose from. The whole experience from a great bar with various beer choices to keep everyone happy but also decent craft and cocktails, to the restaurant with knowledgeable staff who do a great job of serving the whole fish on the bone was superb. 2nd time in a recent while and despite being a touch more expensive than other choices in Belfast it is very much worth it for flavour ,quality and range of options. The location is on the edge on most Belfast entertainment but is also a great choice for non townies as it’s so close to the train station. Give this one a go…it will broaden your fish and beef experience and is really tasty

First time visit last evening. Cant praise it enough. Service was excellent, staff very attentive and above all food was amazing ! Thank you Stock, we will be back !

If you want something a bit different, this is the place to try. Great atmosphere set in St Georges market overlooking the stalls. Concise menu, offering a alternative breakfast, good fish, meat and vegetarian choices, gluten free also. Toilets are very clean and modern.

My wife wanted to treat me for my birthday and having been twice before she felt it would be a restaurant experience I would enjoy. Sadly our experience was not a positive one. It is with a heavy heart we cannot recommend this restaurant to friends and family. So disappointed.

Great disability access, which is rare in Belfast. The food was excellent, nothing was too much trouble and they served a table, including children, to all of our complete satisfaction. The quality of service was if anything better again. Ari was a particular delight but all of the staff deserve warm praise.

This restaurant and drinks spot is excellent. The quality of the service is the first thing you notice. The staff pay attention, and know the food and menus well - they are keen to be a support and help. They are gems. The food is excellent. Truly, to be recommended to all. They have a slight problem with the outdoor tables being as warm as however warm St George's Market is on the day. This was forgotten as the bustle of the market added to the experience. The entire experience was excellent. Ari who served us deserves a special commendation although that is almost unfair to all the other brilliant and helpful staff. This is also a fully accessible restaurant.

We went on a sunny days, it gaves a lot to the ambiance. We ordered musées and fish of the day and everything was well cooked Service is very professionnal ans they have daily dishes which are very good value for money

Fantastic meal and setting. I would have been happy selecting anything off the menu as there was a great variety. The staff were extremely attentive and professional. Will definitely be back.

Our first time in Stock. Food was incredible, service was excellent, (thanks Charlotte). We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and will definitely be back.

Very disappointed to find out that Stock kitchen and bar have a policy which only redeems their vouchers for a year only. When we contacted them to enquire about using a voucher for £125 which was 4 months out of date they informed us that they would allow us to use £60 of this as what they described as a gesture of good will if we booked for use within a 2 days time frame only. This in our view was a mean spirited, ungenerous response to offer less than half the worth of the original voucher which we in error thought we would have longer than a year to use. Most Belfast establishments offer an at least two year voucher redemption policy such as the Visit Belfast initiative which includes 65 such businesses all facilitating thr use of vouchers for a two year period. When we contacted the restaurant to highlight this, they did not respond. Very poor and not customer centred business.

We've all had lots of food from many places around the world. A kind busman told me about this place in Belfast today while I was awaiting my flight. Honestly, it was one of the best meals I've had in any country. Don't miss it. Ask for Gema; she will take care of everything, and you just enjoy. It's the best food I've tasted in Ireland.

Great location above the market with excellent food and service. The lunchtime offer is good value. Staff attentive but not stuffy. All round, it's 5 stars from me.

Booked in for dads dinner - no issue with the food but staff are not given their tips! They operate a points system which means staff are given a pound per hour of tips even though every table has an automatic 10% service charge. At a restaurant of this standard which relies heavily on very very good service it’s a scandal not to give the staff what they are not only owed but what they earned!!

Trendy and a great spot for dinner. The food was so enjoyable. The chicken was a 10/10. Cool date spot. The broccoli Caesar salad situation was awesome. I would come back every time I’m in Belfast

Excellent food, staff and the restaurant is stunning. Such a varied and interesting veggie menu. The courgette fries are like little bites of heaven. Will definitely go back. Highly recommend for all palettes

Wow the food was amazing. Service was excellent and great place to eat and have a drink.

Delicious brunch, beautiful surroundings, service impeccable ❤️

Fab lunch at this restaurant, sitting on the Terrace, overlooking the stalls in St Georges market. We had 4 starters of Prosciutto Wrapped Monkish, Cod & Prawn fishcakes, Slow Cooked Squid and Crab.Delicious ! All washed down with a lovely Pinot Grigio. Great service by our Donegal speech therapy student. Lovely experience.

Lovely spot. Always a good buzz. Great menu, not only fish. There's now a full vegetarian and vegan menu. Recommended!

Our party of 5 had a wonderful meal to celebrate a special birthday on Friday Feb 9th. The food was absolutely delicious and all staff were helpful and friendly (especially our waitress) Thank you 🤩

‘Manager’ not a good example in customer service. All questions were answered like we were insulting him personally. We asked why a certain dish which was on the website menu was as not available. He said ‘The menu changes, we haven’t changed the website, is that a problem’? He was quite confrontational! We noticed he actually seemed to make some other guests uncomfortable. Food was ok, certainly not worth the price tag!

I haven't been able to get out for dinner for a considerable time and when this place was suggested, I was a little bit worried because, while I knew there was an eatery there, I hadn't heard anyone talking about it and I made an assumption it was just a middle of road type restaurant based above George's Market. I have to say, I went in not expecting much, but was absolutely gob smacked! It definitely wasn't what I was expecting! The place isn't massive but the use of the space is fabulous! There is a bar area where you can sit pre and post dinner. The decor is first class and the atmosphere was excellent and a tribute to the owners, but more so the staff working there! While it is a little on the pricier end of the scale for me, although not wildly priced, I have to say the food was outstanding and the staff helped us get enough food to share between 5 of us!! We had parmesan fries with a few drinks while deciding what to have. We had a variety of starters before the fish and meat sharing meals and a steak, that was one side of a cow! At the end, a few deserts were then taken and others had an alcoholic refreshment instead. The wine list is extensive and to be honest above my head, but we shared a terrific bottle of red that I hate myself for not taking a note of to look it up! In total, it was £70 a head! A little more than my usual financial envelope, but it was a special night out, so I was a bit surprised because I was genuinely expecting it to be more! Overall a terrific night out and great experience and a credit to the owners and staff! I really do mean it when I say I want to go back!!

just out of Stock restaurant. honestly, the best meal out i've had in ages. a lovely warm restaurant with great service. i started off with the scallops starter. simply superb. then the wild vernison . tender, tasty and with plenty of jus. Partner had the fresh brill fish which she loved ! Great chips with the skin still on . pear and choc tart to finish . so pleased.

Fantastic set menu with paired wines. Every dish was spectacular. Great staff, beautiful venue.

Fantastic set menu serving dishes I would never choose but which totally opened my mind to the amazing food on offer. The wine matching was totally worth the money. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable the kitchen can be seen from the restaurant which is really special. Fantastic place to eat. Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Booked for pre theatre dinner Everything was 100% Will definitely be back!

Amazing food and the team are super!

Great steak and great atmosphere for a Christmas dinner! Would recommend!

Unfortunately it wasn't great. Last time we were here was for our anniversary, it was late August and not as busy and the experience was amazing. This time, for my wife's birthday, it felt like we were treated like we were on a Christmas dinner. We ate off the main menu and had oysters to start, they were lovely. The starters were just ok, and compared to last time, a little less of it too. My pigeon had 2 small slices, not sure where the rest of the pigeon breast went. The main courses were the biggest let down and actually felt the played had been sitting a while, not overly warm. My wife's fish was overcooked and quite dry. The pasta was heavy and grey, not at all appealing, so we sent it back. This left me eating on my own. They brought another for my wife and it was much warmer and looked more appetizing, with gorgeous fluffy prawns on top. Unfortunately, the fish just wasn't great and the pasta was yet again thick and grey. They took mine away to heat and came back warmer but not great. Service was great, just felt standard had dropped to cater for the Xmas period. Very disappointing.

Fabulous meal this evening with my family. Outstanding food and friendly, helpful staff. Will definitely return.

Atmospheric, great food and the friendly Belfast service that makes this city legendary!

Great quality food. Not the cheapest, but well worth the money. Different atmosphere overlooking the market, good service. We went for the mushroom pasta and the beef cheeks, lovely!

How have I failed to get here earlier? The space is lovely. If eating in the winter on the open balcony above the market... bring a pullover. Today we ate inside where it was totally comfortable.. But, the food... the food... the staff. Fantastic. For me starter of crabs claws and langoustines. Main of ham-wrapped pheasant. Both were absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked.. umami needs fully satisfied. Brilliant. Thank you Danny M. and all the team. Not cheap, but we did enjoy the delights of the bar, as well as the kitchen! Would I go back?? Would tomorrow be too soon???

Really great in every respect. Staff and food were perfect.

Fantastic food and service thank you

Overrated & overpriced. Food wasn’t that great (especially the vegetarian menu), but it’s wasn’t bad. It’s just that I expected better given the ratings. Oysters were more expensive than other spots in Belfast (but were still good). Service was a bit slow (although the staff were friendly). There are better spots at this price point.

One of my favourite restaurants in Belfast, the food and atmosphere is amazing

Disappointed. Very average meal and service . It was like dining on the Marie Celeste - whilst eating, the waiters started to clear the cutlery and glassware from nearby tables , as they were closing in half an hour at 7pm. Poor standard .compared to other celebrity chef restaurants in Belfast . Overpriced. Will not be back .

I think the food served here is well cooked and very tasty and the portions are very adequate. I think though it is becoming a bit overly expensive for what it is. Our bill on this occasion was significantly more than on the previous occasion.

Had catch of the day. Half a Turbot on the bone. Perfect sides. Glass of Hugel Tradition. Hard to better. I'm sure atmosphere picks up later, but I was a solitary early diner, there for the food!

This was our first time in Stock and it won’t be our last. We were very impressed. Nice friendly staff and the four different food choices were all excellent. .

Having walked past a stunning display of fresh fish and vegetables at St George’s Friday market we were eagerly looking forward to our lunch upstairs at Stock restaurant. All four of us chose the fish Specials. Our plates of fish, decorated with split langoustines and vegetables arrived. Served with 4 bowls of chips. The job in hand was to try and find the flesh on the fish which we could eat! Bones were turned over and scraped in the process. Needless to say we were extremely disappointed with the fish content of our meal for £30 each. Sitting on the balcony looking down at the busy market we really felt let down by a respected chef for allowing such inferior food to be served to his customers.

Lovely place .friendly and helpful staff .lovely ambience. We chose fish of the day with langoustines..£30 The langoustine and fish would all have been better staying in the sea for another 6 months .more bones than flesh . My green broccoli was part of thick stump .. Very disappointing/ very overpriced.

Had our breakfast here this morning, it was beautiful, Zara the waitress knew what we needed when we lifted our heads to ask before we even spoke, unreal service from her, will be back with the kids very soon

Brought a family member who was visiting from Canada to show off St George’s Market. I had previously dined on the balcony before it was under new management. Found the Stock menu quite unusual. Opted for the fish and chips, Caesar salad and “proper chips”....

Dined here on Saturday evening I had chicken spring rolls and sautéed chicken livers with black cherries my wife had scallop and crab soufflé both were excellent. We ordered the sirloin of boef sharing platter for two at £90. The vegetables and sides were excellent but the main event, the beef was perhaps one of the poorest cuts of meat I have ever had. We were offered a free dessert by way of an apology but we declined and the service charge was taken off the bill (which in essence punishes the staff with no tip) I tipped the waiter with cash as the service was really decent. I was, and remain very disappointed at being charged for the main course as it was not enjoyed nor finished. I feel £40 for a bottle of red wine I can buy for £9 was over the top.

Nice food with good atmosphere!! Very nice service. The oysters are fresh and loved the apple crunch on it. Seafood was great taste and fresh too. A good selection of cocktail and wine

Lovely breakfast sitting on the terrace over the market. Food tasted fresh and delicious

Situated on top of St George’s market, this restaurant is just excellent. The seafood is the freshest that I have ever had the pleasure to eat and the oysters just fabulous, made all the more enjoyable by their own twist on the French shallot and...

Great food plus wonderful friendly efficient service.

Had the most amazing homemade Orange and Almond tart.

Had a great experience in this restaurant, the quality of food was excellent and the ingredients put together had a really good taste!

Nice atmosphere looking over the market below. All the food was over seasoned for my palate which took away from the food experience.

We love this restaurant for its location, vibe, and excellent local food offer. A table overlooking the wonderful St.George’s Market makes you feel part of the Belfast food offer. A great professional, yet relaxed welcome. Food is fabulous, and feels very local and thoughtful. Oysters...

Airy restaurant above the weekend market with fresh seafood. Crubeens are excellent. The pig trots are tender and delightfully savory, wrapped in crispy shell. No need for the sauce :> Prawn & Brown Crab Orzo tastes great. Bouncy shrimps and pasta, crunchy breadcrumbs and veggie. The crab is invisible though. Market fish is Dover sole today. Tender and fresh. Love the grilled lemon. Casserole comes with tender hake/cod and meaty monk fish, delicate mussels, and plump langoustines. Crab claws are missing again. Maybe the restaurant has run out of crabs today… (though we saw crabs for sale downstairs at the market earlier in the morning). The mayo is quite heavy for the sourdough. Perhaps it’s better to have it on the side. Service is friendly and food comes fast. Glad that we made it before our Friday ferry. Veal ravioli also sounds appetizing, and no time for desert today. Next time :)

Attended yesterday and had high hopes. There were some good parts with certain dishes like the lobster starter being excellent. Unfortunately we found other dishes like the lamb main to be abit confused in flavours, my lamb was also over cooked. The restaurant is not...

Fabulous restaurant- the choice of fresh fish is fantastic. Even my not so fish loving partner really enjoyed it here. Service is superb.

ABSOLUTELY delicious food each course was perfect staff where brilliant. Danny has done a great job and should be proud of his team.

I went there around 1 p.m. on a Sunday in July, I was seated on the terrace, an open terrace which gives a panoramic view of the market, the atmosphere was pleasant because it was not too warm. I ordered "Whole Market fish on the bone, Roated fish Bone sauce, Market Vegetables, proper Chips." The vegetables were cooked al dente zucchini, broccoli, peas... The sole was roasted in a pan and lightly buttered, a bowl of fries accompanied the whole. The whole dish was perfectly balanced, there was crunch, tenderness, softness... take the lemon and put a few drops on the fish, you will see this little tangy side will make everything divine. I did not put 5 stars because even if I am very satisfied and I know how to recognize the efforts, it was too expensive I paid 35 pounds for this plate. Reasonably 25 would have been more correct and appropriate.

Went for breakfast on a Saturday morning. Seated in a lovely spot on the balcony overlooking the market. Nothing pretentious but attention to detail was second to none. Grilled tomato properly trimmed with garlic and thyme. Butter with fresh sea salt and perfectly cooked bacon,...

What a hidden gem! My husband & I had an amazing meal, food was superb, try the crubeens for a snack and the steak was one of the best I’ve had. Couldn’t fault the meal at all. Staff were great, attentive & happy to answer...

Myself and my husband booked dinner here for our wedding anniversary as we had eaten here before and it completely exceeded the expectations we had from our previous meal, our server was lovely and the food was absolutely beautiful, I think the steak I had...

Very good place at St. George market. They had room for us without reservation. According to my family, the pizza was fantastic. My self I had the battered cod - it was great.

Went for lunch today with my partner, we arrived slightly late and rang ahead, the staff were very accommodating. We were looking forward to the Grilled Mackerel that was on the website menu for weeks, but the waitress said it was unavailble. The waitress was...

The best Resturant in Belfast by far foods amazing Danny certainly knows his stuff

Atmosphere is next to none and the food is fantastic the service is top notch too will be back.

First time eating here and didn’t disappoint! John Dory for two, cooked whole on the bone. Served with a fish bone sauce, chips and market veg. Absolutely amazing- cooked perfectly and everything tasted beautiful! Staff were so friendly and knowledgeable and a real buzz about the place. Quite expensive but not at all pretentious which we loved. Def be back.

Our Saturday night at Stock lasted about 40 minutes, from aperitif to the end of our two course meal. It felt like the staff couldn’t wait to get home. I was a quarter of the way through my first drink when the starter arrived. As...

Are 6 stars possible? Everything and everyone was amazing! The seafood casserole, while it was a bit of work for some of the shellfish, was fantastic. The wife had a roasted lamb rump dinner, and it was arguably better than mine! The lamb was cooked to absolute perfection. We finished off dinner with a chocolate tart and a lemon tart, both were superb and what would our final Irish dinner be without an Irish coffee!? Overall it was a fantastic meal and great way to close out our NI vacation. Kudos to Danny and his staff for such an amazing evening!

Excellent food - great location Initial service a little slow

I had dinner at this restaurant 2 days in a row, and totally enjoyed both visits. The food was nicely presented and very well cooked. The service was very friendly and attentive. Out of all the dishes that I have tried there I can recommend ordering their market fish that is served whole on the bone. This was probably the only restaurant that cooked and served John Dory and Dover Sole whole on the bone, and they were unbelievably good. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great food and excellent service. The locations is great and the interior gives very unique ambiance. The fish was cooked perfectly, duck liver salad had a very good dressing and combined well with chicory and the rest of the salad. Lobster bisque was excellent. Everything...

Another Guinness stop!!🤪... this is a great venue, very nice atmosphere, staff friendly and attentive.....and you can sit out on balcony overlooking the market ..... so more people watching 🥸

Lovely Sunday afternoon spent with friends at a birthday party and nothing was too much trouble. Food was delicious. 5star no problem.

Been in for breakfast the last two Saturday mornings. Love it, great food great service . Highly recommend

Another amazing night at Stock Restaurant & Bar. This time with our family to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Peter and the front-of-house team looked after us with their usual friendly and attentive service. Danny and his team provided us with an amazing meal to...

We went for a family celebratory dinner and had a fabulous time. We had cocktails in the bar area which were excellent. Once seated at our table we had to wait a while before being served. The lobster & prawn starter was particularly good. The...

Attentive & well trained staff, lovely vibe and stunning food. Chef popped out to say hello, great welcoming touch. Wonderful place.

Super repas bonne cuisine je recommande vivement

Great food with mains about £30. Thoughtful combinations and flavours. Excellent service and good range in the wine list.

Seasonal menu prepared in full sight. Beautiful presentation. Obliging staff.
