Stock Kitchen and Bar in Belfast

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 When we contacted them to enquire about using a voucher for £125 which was 4 months out of date they informed us that they would allow us to use £60 of this as what they described as a gesture of good will if we booked for use within a 2 days time frame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.

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!!

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.

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 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.

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

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...

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

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

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.

We enjoyed our lunch starters, pizza and the kids meals. Nice interior, pleasant ambience and service. Good for kids, too. They would go back 👍

Saturday night, table of 7 at 7. Food excellent as always (particularly the lobster/prawn starter and the sole main) but we didn’t have desserts, coffee or after dinner cocktails, as the waiters were clearly keen to finish early. Especially surprising, as my previous review (March...

Big recommend and would go again. Delicious food with an ample vegetarian/vegan menu. Also felt quite healthy without compromising on taste. Wine list good with wines by the glass (not cheap mind you but a generous pour). Service friendly and efficient. Music was good too - maybe a little loud but a solid playlist.

A decent restaurant but by no means great. The staff, service and food were all perfectly good.. I ordered chicken, which was overcooked, I could have sent it back but of the kitchen were happy to send out so that's the standard....Deep fried monkfish starter was okay but the veggie starter (which my partner had) was a far better dish and was really exceptional. I would like to go again and go off the full menu. Perhaps I chose a poor time to visit, Belfast on Easter Sunday was very sleepy...

Had our lunch on the veranda overlooking the busy market. Great food, service, and atmosphere! Look forward to our next visit.

Superb food and drinks (had the venison and an ‘oh mummy’ cocktail). Quick and friendly service - the staff are a credit to the restaurant. Bit of a hidden gem in Belfast and will certainly be back.

Absolutely excellent.What a brilliant experience.If you haven't been- you have got to put it on your go to list.I've been here a few times and have never been disappointed! Danny Millar excels again.Thank you.Had a fantastic meal.This time there was a group of us.Great selection of starters and with the main courses there was something for everyone. Light monkfish & crispy egg were just 2 of the starters which were a big hit! ( My description doesn't do it justice) The lamb rump was beautifully tasty & tender,I had the beef cheek which was literally melt in your mouth.The accompanying vegetables were cooked to perfection.There was a great selection of desserts which were all tested and enjoyed.The wines selected enhanced the flavours of the food.We had a light elegant Alberino.. which we could sample before getting bottle and a cheeky Malbec,juicy on the palette which of course was so good, we just had to indulge on a second bottle!This did bump the price up from the food bill but we'll worth it. Paul's customer service was excellent aswell.He was great at advising and explaining the dishes & the wine along with just the right amount of attention to detail with the service without it being interfering.Anticipating our needs at always the right moment and checking that everything was to our liking.After the meal was over we moved to the balcony to finish off with teas & coffees,overlooking the indoor bustling St Georges market. If a visitor to Belfast.. or local you should go to Stock and Bar at least once.Its a prime situation were you can then have a wander in the market to browse and buy anything and everything from artisan crafts,pictures to second hand and antiques.Either way it's a great place to go to either before or after Stock and Bar. Will definitely be back..but you should go too if you want excellent food and wine!

Asked to order as we arrived and before even being shown to a table which I had booked online , it wast even busy . I was expecting big things here and a nice meal .unfortunately it was very disappointing .lots of issues ,cold plates ,burnt fishcakes and a very bland and dry Dover sole @£35. Head waiter with a little attitude . We did get £8 knocked off the bill for a starter but it felt like a double whammy we weren't looking for anything just wanted some good food . Its rare i will leave a review good or bad but something had to be said . We left feeling well and truly shafted . I have emailed but have yet to get a reply and I don't expect to get one . Need to up your game im afraid .

Stopped off from a hard morning in the market. We had two great pizza's and some oysters. Food was excellent and the service top notch

We were there for pre concert dinner. Excellent food, service and atmosphere.

this unassuming restaurant overlooks the buzz of the St George’s Msrket, and here’s a tip from a local for the tourists reading - rather than picking at the stalls food offers at £4-5 a shot, just take yourselves upstairs where the professionals who know what...

We were evaluating the restaurant for a future special occasion. It did not disappoint. The welcome was exceptional. The food and wine, excellent. We will certainly return with our family for our Ruby Wedding Anniversary. Ideally situated a few paces from Lanyon Place Station, and...

Came for just a glass of wine at bar; nice atmosphere and was able to watch the rugby.

Best meal I’ve had in a while! Couldn’t fault a thing, service, food and atmosphere all top drawer. We shared a load of the snacks to start, crubeen’s were delicious. I then had the venison which came with a bourguignon potato gnocchi - next level!

The food here is lovely. The scallops had that beautiful caramelly crispy edges. The beef was perfectlycooked … just exactly right… the issue is the wine.. they serve wine from the supermarket… I love a glass of Porto 6 but you can buy it from...

This restaurant definitely lives up to its reputation. Myself and a few of my work colleagues booked here for our Xmas lunch and OH MY GOD it was just delicious. From the food to the bespoke mocktails i could not praise this restaurant enough.

Saturday lunchtime in January, steady flow of customers, but everyone got attentive service. The atmosphere was relaxed yet semi-formal. The food was amazingly prepared and the dishes were bursting with fresh flavours. Our server explained every question we asked (lots). We asked about what he would recommend off the menu, and a nice young man looked after us, Carter and made the most fantastic espresso martini. For a special treat, I would recommend this beautifully decorated hidden gem in the heart of Belfast City centre.

Friendly and inviting, I stayed for coffee but it was perfect. Prompt service with a smile.

First visit to this restaurant. Welcoming staff. Very professional. Knowledgeable on meals available--and the wine. I had the beef cheeks--very tasty-and the vegetable selection was cooked to perfection. The Pinot Noir Wine was good value--and very tasty

Great way to finish our weekend. Always love this place with it's balcony overlooking the vibe market. Recommend it to anyone.

We had a brekkie and it was beautiful and tasty..

Our meal was fine, the evening menu is heavily weighted with meat dishes; pheasant, rabbit, beef cheek, steak. Service was attentive from the female staff....but we were disappointed not to be offered the pre-theatre menu, despite booking for 5pm. We had booked this time specifically...

Christmas Dinner with Colleagues! Totally enjoyed the food and time out! Each plate beat my expectations and I would strongly recommend this spot for nice hot steaming meals 😀🥣

Absolutely amazing food, definitely worth a stop here

My wife and I have dined here several time & have never had a bad meal. We both had Christmas fare on this occasion & found it to be to the usual high standard. Service is always exceptional.

The food here was amazing. A must for anyone who enjoys a great meal and great service. Cant wait to go back

The staff were very friendly. Food was amazing. Warm plates. Time well spent

The atmosphere and prices just didn’t match the food we received..We ordered pizza and it came out swimming in juice. The base of the pizza was soaked through! The quality of ingredients used was very good and you could tell that, however it was being let down by the water/juice that made the toppings and cheese slide off the pizza. £15 for a soggy pizza isn’t justifiable. Sadly to add to the disappointment there was a service charge of £1.50 which was a sting considering they forgot to bring out our drinks. Nobody asked how the food was or checked on us throughout the meal..for such a nice setting, they could do better. :(

Went in for a bite to eat but the menu is very limited. The prices are higher than normal. I had toast and bacon my husband had the market breakfast. We had two tea and it's still a shock for the price. No one asked if we were happy with it so I paid for the service I didn't get. Here's a picture of my bill.

We called in for breakfast while visiting Belfast market. The breakfast was excellent, the service friendly and efficient. We had a table outside overlooking the stalls and the market, my photos are the vista we had. On our last visit to the market we couldn’t get a table so we booked in advance.

We were a party of 4 and arrived early to book a table. Told to wait in the bar until 12.15. Then when we went to get our table, told all tables were booked. Unreal incompetence. Avoid.

We’ve been here before and our expectations were good. We arrived early and wanted a drink at the bar. But no, they told us we couldn’t use the bar and directed us straight to a table. Took about another 10mins to order a drink. We...

14 lads for dinner, food and service great considering there was so many of us.
