The Gasworks Restaurant & Bar in Belfast

Really disappointed with this hotel for the money we paid. The room was not luxurious as advertised it was dirty with very stained carpets. They failed to inform us they were doing construction work which went on from early morning till late. If we knew we wouldn’t have booked. The view was a wasteland and not nice at all to look at. The bar and restaurant were closed so couldn’t use. I raised my concerns but had no response!

Great grounds! Amazing landscape.

The hotel is under huge refurbishment and should not be open right now - or should be trading with huge discounts on rooms. Restaurant is closed and the bar was a hole in the wall in the main corridor. I’m annoyed I missed this which has been flagged by others in reviews. I insisted on having my booking cut to one night when I arrived as this is a shabby experience - I advise you to stay away until they are properly ready for guests again.

Lovely stay and super helpful staff. Relaxed stay, good bed and well sized room. Handy car park too. Will come again.

Hotel staff is super friendly. From front desk to breakfast. Restaurant is being renovated.

Very dissapointed with hotel. Feel ut shoukd have no rating at all but definitely not 4 star. Very shabby. Room not very clean. Premium price charged but it was not worth it. Think management should have closed until renovations were done. Staff were very nice and must be hard for them to try push this hotel to visitors. Food at breakfast was very poor. This can't be blamed on works going on at hotel. Not a happy stay in a beautiful city like Belfast. Mary

Here for a work function. All the arrangements were perfect and the food was lovely. Beautiful location.

We ate here on the evening of Easter Sunday as a party of 10, due to an elderly member of the family not being able to walk far and we were all staying the night in the hotel. The hostess, Meymar (apologies if not spelt correctly) must have seen us coming. She seated us quickly and made pleasantries before taking our orders. Drinks were brought fairly quickly. There were only 3 other tables dining at the time. You can see in to the kitchen and we saw two chefs on duty. Some of us ordered starters and this is where it went downhill. Now bear in mind, the starters are very simple (nachos, garlic bread, soup). Somehow the nachos arrived 20 minutes after the soup. Meymar made her apologies and also (somewhat unprofessionally) bad-mouthed the chefs. The mains were a disaster. Two family members ordered the steaks and we repeatedly asked for the accompanying sauces included. They weren't brought out until after the meals were finished. The (very basic) chicken burger was brought 45 minutes after the first main was served. The pizzas were cold and lacking in flavour. Meymar was running back and forth, scolding the chefs and trying to serve us more drinks to distract from the issues. The chefs seemed to be working in slow motion, looking like they had all the time in the world. We indicated we were interested in ordering some desserts. We had to wait 20 minutes to order them. We nearly gave up on it. Again there was a delay between the first (ice cream) and the last (sticky toffee pudding). Bear in mind that the sticky toffee pudding looked and tasted exactly like a shop bought sponge pudding that had been plonked on a plate. Absolutely disgusting and nothing like the sticky toffee puddings served in other restaurants. To add insult to injury, Meymar wanted to dissect every penny we gave her when paying the bill, and then assumed that the difference between the total and what we had given her was a tip - it wasn't. We were so fed up by this point that we just headed up to bed. On another note, Stephen, who was behind the bar that day, had a very odd sense of humour and we didn't appreciate it. If you are unlucky enough to stay in this hotel, don't bother with the restaurant. It is overpriced for what it is and the service is terrible.

We had a good breakfast that was included in the hotelprice. Enough choice, very good croissants, nice selection of nuts. I loved the tomato juice too. And you can have a cappuccino.

Arrived to the hotel and was greeted by the super friendly lady called Amanda. She was absolutely amazing with my little girls. She brought Colouring pages and crayons to keep them entertained while my wife & I enjoyed a drink. The food is amazing in the hotel and the room is spacious & comfy. It's a 10 min walk to the centre of Belfast so all round a top hotel to stay in 👍 thanks Amanda for being amazing your a credit to the hotel 👍💚

Stayed here overnight. Beautiful room. Staff were extremely friendly and professional, couldn't do enough for us. Had dinner and breakfast, beautiful. We would definitely come back again

Loved it here. My son and I went to a job fair held in this hotel & decided to have lunch before we headed for home. We were a bit unclear where to order. There was a bar with one girl staffing it (before we left, there were two). Originally we were just having coffee but when we saw someone eating, we decided to have lunch. There were four guys at the bar being served & I walked over to what I thinwas the dining room. It had a rope across, indicating that we could not enter. Although some staff looked up & saw me, no one indicated as to what I was to do. I walked back & forth to my son, about to give up, but then decided to stand with the four guys & the one girl serving. I was eventually served. The meal was very nice. The setting was outstanding, especially as the sun was out & we were able to sit & eat & watch the Lagan flowing past. We would go again. Service was pleasant but slow.

Excellent service, 'craicing' breakfast

Having stayed here on Sunday 18th February I could not believe how this hotel had declined since I stayed previously when it was Raddison Blu. Although the reception, bar and dining areas all remain the same, when you get out of the lift it is clear it is in need of major refurbishment. The corridors are grotty and carpets dirty. The room was basic and I don't know what they think is on the bed but that is certainly not a quilt! More like a sheet. The room was cold and no amount of setting the temperature control could improve it. The bathroom was roasting! - should have slept in there. Breakfast was a disaster. Had tea and toast and then discovered that there was no hot breakfast left, 10 am. Pointed this out to the server and then "the ladies with badges" started to rush about as if they had it under control Although none of them spoke to myself or the other guests who were standing waiting to be fed! 10 minutes later still no hot food or response from staff so we left. I did tell the receptionist when checking out that we had no breakfast but she was not interested either. Disappointed that the hotel has lost it's mojo, used to be a lovely place to stay.

Awesome location for family gathering.

Clumsy front door, slightly worn-out interior.

Good food but seriously awesome service. Particularly Dagmar who was working breakfast the day I left. She was so kind and sweet and helpful. Really decent for a hotel breakfast. Atmosphere was classic hotel so nothing special. But really sweet service.

Room on 4th floor dirty carpet and curtains broken lamp bulb hanging out. Bed untidy duvet lumpy bathroom dirty Not representative of advertisement. As per standard room. Def not 4 star at all more like 2 star Rang 4 times to discuss same. No one returned calls Eventually spoke with Rebecca who was curt on the telephone This hotel does not offer what it is advertising for a standard room Very disappointing Would not recommend

Steak sandwich was awesome but it took ages to arrive 😄, staff were very helpful and friendly.

As other recent reviews have said service extremely slow yet bar empty of anyone else eating. Weren't approached on sitting down or offered menu ( prices have also noticeably increased since rebranding in last few weeks) Had to go looking for staff. Simple order of 2 burger and fries and a Caesar salad took best part of an hour to appear despite further prompting, as 1 of our party had to be back in work. There was no chicken in the Caesar salad either. My advice would be stay away until the Cork based hotel chain take over.

The restaurant is large and was noisy with music being played loudly. Menu is quite short but a decent amount of choices. Service was slow despite the restaurant being almost empty. Food was good quality

Not worth it! Restaurant closed for a private party of 12! So we had to sit in the bar, which was fine except for the SLOW SERVICE! Ordered fish& chips, 25 minutes later we asked the server where our food was, his response was this isn’t a fast food fish & chips place!! We really wish we would of known this beforehand so we could of ordered another dish! Wow, the place was really pretty empty! Very small order when it did arrive, no one ever came to check on us, he basically disappeared. We will never return to this place!

I keep coming back here when ever I need to work in Belfast. Absolutely amazing staff, breakfast is really good and also the a la carte. Rooms are large and the beds are suuuper comfy. I will never choose another Hotel than this in Belfast!

Nous avons manger une pizza aux champignons et des frites . Comparer à nos pizza celle la est pauvre en garniture sauce tomate , mozza et champignons mais pas mauvaise . La serveuse etait tres souriante et simpatique

Not a lot of menu choice, I’m afraid. There are much better restaurants within walking distance.

The restaurant is part of the hotel and is where breakfast is served daily. We decided to eat here rather than go back into the City Centre and it didn’t disappoint. We did only order 3 items as we weren’t that hungry but each of the plates arrived hot, nicely cooked and with great flavour. The very easy garlic bread had crispy edges, a good amount of cheese and garlic butter but a very soft and chewy inside, off to a good start. The Chowder main dish and Chicken Stack were lovely. The Chowder could have had a bit more fish but the flavour and amount was very good. The Chicken stack was nicely cooked with creamy champ potatoes, a very nice sauce, a kick of black pepper running through it but I would have preferred more, but that a personal choice. No Dessert this time but we did have the Ice Cream Sundae the night before whilst drinking at the bar, nice enough but the Biscoff sauce was replaced with salted caramel which was too salty. Even though the restaurant and bar are part of the hotel it seems like it’s two separate ventures as they are run differently, with the restaurant being organised and clean but the hotel to a certain degree not. As this restaurant is in the hotel and out of the way it will probably only be residents eating there. Very good efficient service with a smile and can do attitude.👏👏👏 Maybe the hotel part should take note.

Best place to stay. High level service. Truly recomended.

Great location, short walk to the city center. Staff very helpful. Decor is starting to show it's age, could do with a revamp. But it's clean and comfortable.

Great food, staff amazing. Definitely be back

There was a good choice of food for breakfast - cereal, fruit, pastries, fry etc…. We went for dinner one night, it was ok, we didn’t love it. Found it quite expensive considering we had burgers & pizza. The atmosphere in both the restaurant and bar were quite relaxing and the staff were both friendly and attentive.

My friend and I stayed at the Radison in Belfast and with our daily breakfast we had the best breakfast and attention. Dagnar was so attentive and happy, she said how grateful and blessed she is to take care of her clients. Sharmin’s smile lughts up the room and Brandon makes the best hot chocolate! Thank you so much for making our trip special

This restaurant, its food, staff and aesthetics has made me be a regular customer. I visit it once a fort night. The food is phenomenal, the Polish chef put all his love and attention to every ingredient and detail of the dish and makes your...palate to ask for more! I have ordered the last couple of times burger with homemade spread, coleslaw, and another time burger with pulled pork. Big, soft ban, big portions, so yummy you don't want to stop eating. From dessert I ordered the most delicious lemon tart. I didn't even share it with my partner, he had to order his own. The restaurant is big, clean, with large glass wall that allows you to see the lovely pedestrian surroundings, beautiful artworks and sculptures all over and with enough space in between the tables. Staff top notch, helpful, friendly and accommodating. Especially Alan, the waiter is amazing, he has a natural kindness and he is so funny, he makes you feel like you are at home! Keep up the good work, you sure have a devoted customer

Lovely meal and service friendly staff

Insane food, Michelin star quality up there with merchant, Edo and Deanes at Queen except a third the price. Great portions, excellent presentation. Exquisite taste and cocktails also Merchant world-class standard. Would go to again and highly recommended. Great decor, private seating and spacious not cramped like many city centre Belfast restaurants these days. Clearly understated and underrated restaurant with hardly any time it’s fully booked out. Only 10 min walk from centre.

Great spot for sitting outside in good weather. Menu is small but beautifully cooked. Very reliable.

Very good food and bar. Best in Nice and shiny weather.

Food was very good and quick service

Enjoyed a great meal here. Friendly and attentive staff.

Enjoyed steaks in the restaurant. Alan's hospitality and wonderful service both in the restaurant and the bar made our stay one to to remember!

We got a burger and chips for lunch, Burger perfectly cooked with french fries. Just a suggestion but nowher seems to give you an offering of different sauces to go along with the fries. eg barbeque, spicy brown, even guacamole, garlic

Plates hot and great selection of food. Good service with friendly Speedy staff. Nice looking out over the water.

Lovely hotel, decor beautiful. Our meal was very delicious, I can recommend the chicken stack & chocolate brownie for dessert yum!

Wonderful evening meal and breakfast.steaks juicy and so tender.melt in your mouth.mmmmm.desserts great.chocolate fondant amazing.breakfast full irish with 2 perfect poached eggs.so tasty.worth every penny.good job we do not live in belfast as would have to diet or go to a gym.wonderfully cooked food 5 *****

We had business in the area so called in for lunch. It has modern decor and is very clean and tidy. There was a friendly lady doing the bar and floor. We just had a panini and fries and a sandwich and the food was nice. I think his would be a good hotel to stay at and within walking distance of the city shops and nightlife.

Three of us had lunch here as in the area. Very cosmopolitan vibe on arrival as looks over the water. It wasn't busy but the service was slow. Food was nice.

Great place to eat and close to the city centre

We read the reviews and decided to go out for our meals and not eat here even though we are staying in the hotel for 7 nights. But the other night Monday 21st October we were too tired to walk anymore so ate in here....

I ordered the Steak sandwich from the menu and was incredibly disappointed about the quality of the food. The chips were like frozen oven chips and the steak was almost entirely fat and grizzle. I was with a party of 12 so didn't want to...

Used this restaurant twice during our stay after long days either travelling or sightseeing and not fancying a walk into the centre. Food is of reasonable quality and value, and the service was very good. Would eat there again if we stayed at the Radisson,...

Beautiful modern restaurant with very good food.

The gas works? I sure hope it does

Stylish neutrally-toned setting for Italian classics alongside more contemporary options.

Friendly place with some booths that are great if you have children with you.Other tables overlook the lake. Good range of foods for breakfast and all well cooked. Dinner menu a bit uninspiring but the food was very good, fresh and tasty. Desserts were good...

Had dinner at the restaurant. Ordered a margarita pizza and the spinach and ricotta tortellini and some garlic bread. To drink, we had a lime and soda and a diet coke (200 ml). The tortellini was very bland. The pizza even less impressive: pretty much...

Every so often we treat ourselves to a night at The Gasworks Restaurant & Bar. While we live close by, it feels like our home a few minutes away from home. The staff are impeccable. We were in a bit of a rush for food...

Upon arrival we wandered around for a few minutes deciding where to sit and whilst doing this playing find the staff member. Eventually found them having a conversation at the far end of the restaurant. Lovely airy decor and food was delicious - had the...

Waited 45 minutes and still was not served before leaving. Previous visits had cold food and small portions. Only restaurant on site with meetings. Will certainly never eat here again. Staff need trained on table service, hospitality and manners

Food was good, can be little bit more warm. Staff not to bad, they need more attention for the guest.

Handy enough if staying here on a rainy day , big and bright, but has to be better in town. Burgers £14 Steaks £24

Overpriced for the meal provided. Could not recommend given the other options in the city

Whilst on a recent business trip, we enjoyed Belfast as an aside, however after trying several busy restaurants we decided to return to the hotel (where we'd spent the previous night). We weren't disappointed, a good menu choice, good freshly prepared food - will definitely...

amazing room. great breakfast. lovely, friendly staff. close to city centre

Considering the restaurant catered for around 30 people at one time, they did really well. The food is well presented but my pasta was over cooked and the tomato sauce was bitter. Its an italian restaurant so perhaps I should have ordered something else.

This is a nice relaxing place. We were seated in a booth and assured someone would be with us shortly. Ten min. later someone took our order, only after she finished chatting with some other customers. We ordered burgers medium rare but they were well...

Good and delicious snacks. Convenient when you just arrive to the hotel. Nice view to a water fountain and gardens of the hotel. Staff is friendly and very efficient.

Whilst on holiday we ate twice in here and on both days the food was delicious. Service was efficient and the staff are very courteous.

The seafood chowder was one of the best I have ever eaten. The steak with red wine sauce was rather middle of the road but still good. Service was attentive and proper without being too much.

had the fish and chips. wasn't the best I've had for the price paid. but staff were friendly. wife enjoyed her meal

The best group dinner and service we have had on our trip so far. The turkey breast entree and dessert medley were especially good. Service was attentive and very helpful. Kudos to the whole staff at Gasworks.

Most enjoyable stay made better by the good service and meals enjoyed at the restaurant. Can definitely recommend.

Excellent breakfast poached egg cooked to perfection by chef. Had a snack and ice cream excellent.Only fault was crumbs on floor and needed general cleanliness.

We stayed here for 4 nights recently and ate here on two of the four nights. We were a party of 4 and all ate different meals and we enjoyed every one of them. we also ate breakfast in the bar on the last morning...

Chef did his utmost to accommodate two vegetarians who are also gluten free, breakfast was very good and the evening meal was very good, although choice was limited.

Nice friendly bar as a lone female travelling this can sometimes be a challenge! Ordered at bar drink bought to me at the table, nice Comfy chairs to watch the world go by! I had a gin and tonic from their extensive menu!

I enjoyed the food but it wasn't so great that I would recommend it. Plus they were out of the beer that I wanted.

Good food, great service! Lovely atmosphere to eat and drink in!

Sent back the first main, which was a poor excuse for a Thai Green Curry. The second main was bangers n mash (how could one get that wrong, me thinks), sickeningly sweet and couldn't eat it. Poor for a 4* star hotel.

Food was great, service was friendly, no complaints at all! Highly recommend the clam chowder

Rooms quite large and clean. Quiet area and comfortable beds assures a good nights sleep. The bar menu is assorted and food is good although the burger I had was a little to salty. Breakfast is assorted and something for everyone presented in a very...

Ate breakfast twice at the Gasworks during a two day stay at the Radisson Blu hotel. Have to say it was the most disappointing breakfast during two weeks in Ireland. The staff were friendly and helpful but the food was okay at best. Lots of...

regularly popped back to eat here at lunchtime always very busy so order early. The chowder and Caesar salads stand out.

a way better than normal restaurant & bar, good food choice, drinks, etc, reasonable prices and a very very good staff

We ate in the restaurant on two evenings. The fish and chips were delicious and also the chicken. The service was also very good

Food is fantastic quality service from the staff and reasonably priced kids eat free with paying adult

Nice food. Nice setting and close to the city center.

This was for a staff do. The hotel staff could not have been nicer and the food was better than the generic group order Christmas rubbish.

Thoroughly enjoyed the lamb, it was tender, lightly seasoned with red wine sauce... STUPENDOUS MEAL! loses a star because portion was poor..

This restaurant is situated inside Radisson Blu hotel in the Gasworks complex. The restuarant is very welcoming with lovely decor & attentive friendly waiting staff but whilst the menu is comprehensive there is the distinct feeling that it is more of a casual dining venue...

Bright, open plan restaurant with friendly servers, a welcoming patio and an extensive grill-bar menu. However, not for a formal evening out.
