Taste Cafe & Bistro in Castlereagh

Must be the most expensive hot drinks in East Belfast. Can’t justify the price so won’t be back. Shame.

I have eaten in and had deliveries various times and every single time the quality of the food has been outstanding.

I ate here on Tue 20th Sept 22, and had a small fry. The meal was served promptly and with a nice cup of coffee. Standard of presentation was good and it was all served on quality IKEA crockery. Not just your ordinary white plates here!. Decor was nice with a Wood and Stone theme going on. Service was quick and efficient. Food tasted good and was of a good standard. Points to consider! When putting beans in a Microwave they can become (and were) boiling and would take the skin off your mouth. Secondly Mushrooms are a delicate vegetable, best not to power boil then in Oil when serving with food. Suggest using a little milk, water and butter.

Oh my word, what a find this was. Definitely by far the best Ulster fry in belfast by a country mile. My wife had the breakfast burrito which she commented on being very fresh, tasty & really filling, I had their “big fry” which was such a relief to find somewhere that can still cook a proper fry & make it to a very high standard. The decor Leads itself away from the hustle & bustle of the manic traffic & business of daily life, you will literally feel your body unwind, as your greeted by the friendliest staff that Northern Ireland used to be associated with many moons ago. We just arrived before before the rush around 12:30pm & you could literally see people relax away from the outside world, a very beautiful calming aura. Definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys a really peaceful place to eat, & the portions are very generous. Think I’ve found my new favourite brunch venue. Thankyou to the lovely staff who welcomed us & ensured are experience was one that would have us wanting & looking forward to return.

Wow. We had a great experience here today & could not fault it. The food was so tasty & the staff were so friendly, helpful & attentive. We will definitely be back.

Ate here today for the first time and will certainly be back again! Food was fresh, delicious, well presented and a generous portion. Great menu for brunch/lunch. The guys working there were extremely welcoming and attentive. Its so lovely to go somewhere that actually ticks all the boxes, and even better its right on our doorstep! Beats any of those well known, overpriced coffee shops that you find on every high street/ shopping centre, hands down. Keep up the great work Toast!

Really wonderful breakfast. Best so far in Northern Ireland. Ambience and staff friendly. Would definitely come again

Had not been here since they moved and decided to have breakfast today. Was happy to see they done Eggs Benedict. I have to say it was delicious, one of the best I have had. The fresh orange juice tasted great also. Staff very attentive, friendly and very helpful. Will definitely be back.

Working nearby. Called for lunch. Very pleasant service and quality of my food was excellent. Good coffee with a BLT sandwich, well filled using freshly cooked bacon etc. I was taking away today but sit in area looked welcoming.

As a local, it’s a sad fact that this was my first visit to this little café. We found seats outside on an Indian summer afternoon and ordered lunch from the extensive menu. Wow!! First class. I should have photographed the presentation of our small meal but I didn’t expect to be so impressed. Keelan was very helpful and could not have been more attentive. I won’t have to venture any further for coffee or lunch in future. Thank you folks.

I had a brilliant breakfast in this cafe the staff is friendly the food is delicious and the price was reasonable I recommend

The place is a quiet but very busy coffee shop that specialises in breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's a regular of mine to visit for breakfast and a place I'd recommend due to the friendliness of the employees and the quality of the food.

This small Cafe is friendly and does a very good Ulster Fry with all the traditional items present. The baked potatoes are also good.

A small group of freinds called in for lunch....great service. Fantastic food and fair price. The food was fresh and tasty and staff very pleasant!

Called into this place for a cuppa with a work colleague which turned into Brunch after we couldn’t resist the smell and range 😜 The place, tables and yip even the knives/forks where clean, small details but rare 👍 Service was polite and all delivered with a smile 😃 but above all the food was warm and tasty 😋 will deff be back and I might even just get a cuppa, although I doubt it.

This is a superb little restaurant, perfect for brunch or lunch. The fry’s are by far the best in Belfast and the best value too. It’s a local gem with a local vibe - perfect!

My wife and I go here every Saturday to get a Fry. Staff are really friendly and the service is excellent. The quality of food is great and service is quick. Prices are good and I'd highly recommend to anyone.

Yo, mi hijo y su pareja junto con nuestra nieta de 18 meses hicieron de nuestra primera visita a tostadas. Es una cafetería bastante pequeño. El menú era variado, pero nos sentimos Ulster Fry £7. 95 poquitín cara. Mi hijo iba a preguntar si podía comprar una naranja el servidor dijo que no está a la venta! Dijo que era para su hija pequeña me contestó un poco bruscamente no son para la venta que son por el zumo de naranja fresco que ellos necesitan! Nuestra primera visita a este recientemente tomada cafetería será la última. Grosero!

Love this place, best fry in the east, also does great omelettes and do try the freshly squeezed orange juice

Food good. Staff great. Craic excellent. Small local place working very hard. Eggs Benedict were awesome!

My family and I go there every week, the lady Kim who always serves us is amazing!! knows our order as soon as we sit down. She is just so lovely and its such A welcoming place!!

He visitado previamente tostadas de café y un bollo. El café es muy bueno. Es un pequeño café, pero una joya escondida. Tuvimos un viaje con mi pareja. Él había un estupendo fry y lo un panini y patatas fritas. Ambos muy contentos con una buena comida, sabrosa, y a un precio razonable. Sin duda volveremos.

I had a lovely cooked breakfast last week in Toast. Food and service were excellent. Very friendly waitress who service me, possibly called Erin. Would recommend a visit. Service with a smile

Just had an all day Ulster Fry. Fresh, good quality and tasty. Coffee also nice. Staff very friendly and helpful. It has lovely fresh orange juice made on site as you order. Newspapers are also supplied Thanks guys

Very friendly, extremely busy, helpful staff - nothing too much trouble - always bunged - would recommend you try it lunch or breakfast - and to the last reviewer who complained about the coffee - you probably got a hot tasty replacement!

Decidimos por un capricho de la parada para el café. Terminamos temprano el almuerzo! Ulster Fry estaba muy bien presentado, con buena grasa sin selección de artículos. Tostadas francesas estaba riquísimo. Señora miembro del personal muy amable, acogedor y servicial. Café muy limpio. La única queja sería insípida, café frío (lo siento). No es barato, pero la comida es muy buena. Volveré, pero no el café la próxima vez!

This is my go to place for a comforting eggs benedict and a good cup of tea. Staff are so friendly and will do anything to accommodate you. Very generous food portions and cooked very well. Highly recommend this little treasure

enjoyed coffee and scone great atmosphere and plesant surroundings at a good price. Hope to return again .

He estado allí un par de veces, siempre ocupado, comida estupenda, bien presentado y a tiempo. Los precios son muy sean compatibles con otros cafés de la zona, pero el servicio y la calidad es mucho mejor.

Salsa de tomate para 20p, 70 p para un pedacito de cebolla roja en una ensalada de pollo y club? Tiene que afectó al país Brexit duro ya? No este no es barato para un cafe - ninguna indicación de "extras" en el menú, la palabra codiciosos vienen a la mente. Por estos motivos y compruebe precios existentes sólo encontrar aquellos pequeños extras sigilosos. No es mucho, pero que debe haber sido la cebolla última en Belfast.

Ordered a large breakfast with no bread but with chips instead! Delicious. Food came out in time, hot and minimal grease. Good service and reasonably priced. I would Definitely return

I have been a couple of times because a friend lives nearby and does not like to travel too far. Sometimes she pays, sometimes I pay. I find sometimes they charge their own prices... I've been too embarrassed to ask about this. It's also expensive for a Cafe... £7.50 for Filled Baked Potato?? Also the chips are frozen so for the price of the meals I would expect them to be homemade. The staff are really nice but the food is too expensive for what it is and too many times our bill has been wrong. Or seemed wrong for what we got...

First visit here for early lunch, nice welcoming place. Varied menu and what we both had was faultless. Good service, all plates empty, pretty good value for money.

Great place to eat good selection to choose from best lattes frys sandwiches etc there is nothing to beat it the Christmas dinner was lovely only thing was I couldn't finish it to much to eat

Fantastic little cafe, food is amazing - this is the place to go for the ultimate Ulster Fry in Northern Ireland. Consistent excellence, staff extremely helpful and friendly.

Have been here many times now, mainly because they do a great choice of breakfasts! I'm always changing what I want from the menu and wanting my eggs cooked a certain way, items grilled etc, nothing is too much trouble! Good portion size and good quality bacon! Quick service and milkshakes are fabulous for a hangover. I happily go back time and time again!

Absolutely class fry-ups, and good, homely service. The cafe is small and intimate, as if youre sitting in someones living room. Winner :)

Called at 4pm on a damp Tuesday. We were made very welcome. Cafe was warm food excellence. Will stop again. Waiter very friendly and made to feel at home. Food well priced.

Been going here for years. Not surprised to see it with 5 stars. The selection is great, the food tastes lovely as well. My preferred breakfast option in Belfast. Top notch.

This cafe is small but the menu definitely is not, so much to choose from! The freshly squeezed orange juice is amazing & hard to come by in most places so I will definitely be back for that! Only downfall is because it's small and the kitchen is close to where you're sitting you do leave smelling like cooking but this is only a minor issue and it wouldn't stop me returning!

Just had fantastic fry up at TasteGood value and good quality food need to get there early as it fills up especially at lunchtime

This is our second time at this resturant and we can't wait to go again. The food was presented lovely, fresh and homemade. A five star meal at a two star price. Would definately recomend for anyone looking for a great meal at a great price.

I have been here a few times for breakfast and lunch, and I have to say it was fantastic. Great food, cosey atmosphere and pleasant service. Taste has an extensive menu to choose from and does not disappoint. The homemade pancakes are a must and the burgers are great.The honey chilli chicken dish is also a surprising yet tasty choice. Looking forward to another visit to Taste soon!

Really good, honest food without the wait. With a wide variety of dishes and the accommodating staff, there's something here for even the fussiest eater! It's small inside, with only a handful of tables but I think this adds to the cosy atmosphere, as does the music choice. There's plenty of parking outside, and even an outside sitting area. A hidden gem in Castlereagh!

Great little cafe offering typical Belfast food. First item in menu 'Ulster fry' . Have been in a number of times late morning after visiting printer nearby and had tea and bacon buttie. Very good and very busy. Would recommend.

My sister brother mum an myself just love this place. Never disappointed. Fry is amazing. Tea hotter than hot. Friendly staff. Hard to beat. True gem

This café is just perfect. Warm, cosy & comfortable with car parking at the door!. The menu is vast & varied, you will find something you want to eat here, guaranteed!. My favourite is the huge choice of all-day breakfasts (Ulster Fry, French Toast, Choose your own combination!!), food is always top quality, piping hot, cooked to perfection and very clean, not oily at all. Great Tray Bakes too!. The gentleman that serves is always very friendly and polite. The blonde woman who serves is always miserable. Nice touch that you get a bottle of water on the table, mints when you leave and a loyalty card!. If you haven't been, call in, you won't be disappointed. Excellent value for money.

Although it looks lovely on the outside and a little cosy on the inside, this is nothing compared with how good the food is.Wide variety on the menu from wraps, paninis, soups, sandwiches, potatoes and mains, with lots and lots of choices of fillings. Really good home cooked food.Personally I think the service is quite slow but the staff are all really nice, friendly and will do your meal just the way you want it.It is a great place to take your grandparents or elderly parents- you know the way sometimes if you have elderly folks, they don't like going somewhere knew? Taste is perfect- nothing fancy or over the top, and they most definitely respond well to older people.
