The Hoose in Belfast

Incredible cocktail, main course and dessert! It's full of good flavors, the cooking is perfect, the presentation is excellent and the service is impeccable. No, really it deserves even more than 5 stars. If I come back to Belfast, I will come back!

We visited this "wee hoose" for a pre show dinner, heading to SSE. Ross was so welcoming and great craic. (Another lovely girl was serving, but didn't get her name). Food was really good value. And the atmosphere (even though we were first in) was cosy and comfortable. Out first visit, but definitely won't be our last. Panna cotta was yum.

First time at Hoose and what a treat! Fabulous food, great staff and lovely atmosphere. An amazing wee find.

Beautiful and diverse menu for food and drinks alike, and lovely staff made the night perfect. Thank you!

Really fantastic, thoroughly enjoyable, food which is tasty and full of flavour - great menu, very pleasant, friendly staff, nice ambience, fair prices - what more could you ask for - can’t wait to go back!

We ate in Hoose Bistro tonight & had a great meal & good fun chat with the staff. Two menu choices & our table picked from both. A good selection & what lovely tasty food & a nice portion size. I have to mention a good range of veg! Again a nice wine selection, great service. Thank you Hoose for a good night.

Excellent food and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The staff were very attentive throughout. This restaurant is a hidden gem and I would highly recommend a visit.

Fabulous evening spent tonight in Hoose Bistro! Great food, excellent service and a lovely atmosphere. The cocktails are amazing too. Looking for to my next visit!

Absolutely cannot fault this place. Staff are super friendly, and the food is out of this world! Highly recommend!!!

We first went on a Wednesday night and we had a table in the ground floor as our friend would have never managed the stairs. Food was EXCELLENT, service was EXCELLENT and it was a fairly quiet night with only one other couple downstairs and a few upstairs. The waiter was a lot of fun and we had some great banter with him. It was so good we decided to book for the next night but were told we would have to eat a bit later than planned as they were busier. Food and service were still EXCELLENT but service was a lot slower and there was a young waitress serving as well as just the waiter we had seen the previous night. All tables were full and there must have been a lot of people upstairs due to the traffic we saw on the staircase. I would highly recommend this restaurant, free street parking is available outside the door.

This was my second visit to the Hoose Bistro and if you, like me, can recognize the work of a passionate cook, you must try this Bistro for sure. This chef knows his thing! A very pleasant welcome with good service. The tastes where all there and with the combination of the good wine it was a truly treat. Hope to visit again soon.

Amazing meal this afternoon. Great service. 👍

I booked Hoose for a choir night out and we had a fantastic meal - not aware of any complaints at all in a group of 17. Ross and the team provided exceptional service and we were given a private room which allowed for some craic after the meal. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Can't recommend it enough, you need to try here, outstanding food & perfect service.

Located over in East Belfast but well worth the taxi ride. Excellent and prompt service. Good menus albeit chicken slightly overcooked. Good cocktails too,

Endroit très sympathique chaleureux Avons passé un agréable moment autour d’un délicieux repas Très bonne cuisine et personnel très sympathique Je recommande vivement

Had a lovely time with friends.. so cosy and relaxing.. thought I was in someone's home.. where the hosts were just brilliant.. they know their stuff for sure.. and to top it all off..the food was yum...

We had a family dinner here tonight to celebrate a wedding anniversary! Everything was amazing from start to finish. The food was 10/10 and portion sizes were huge, everyone was really happy with theirs. All staff were so attentive, and shout out to Ross who was excellent - he made the occassion so special. We will all definetely be back :) The Hoose really is a hidden gem. Thank you!

Had a beautiful meal last night service was fantastic meal was beautiful Ross was so helpful in recommending a bottle of wine which went down a treat

The Hoose is Ballyhackamore's best kept secret. Exceptional menu. But better even than the food is the cosy atmosphere. The host Ross and his team greeted us with a warm welcome. Will be back.

Lovely food love the sea bass service is great specially Ross very accommodating. Been here several times

Wonderful small bistro, superb quality food all made on the premises. Helpful and friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for us. Visiting from Birmingham and celebrating a birthday in style. Would highly recommend.

Great spot. Food, staff and atmosphere are unreal, highly recommended! Lamb and seabass were great! Thanks for an awesome meal!

I had the seabass, my sister had the chicken. Our meal was lovely. We will be back.

Super place for a bit of Sunday lunch!

Excellent food. One of our party has a dairy allergy and they accomodated their needs really very well. The service was excellent and the staff were pleasant and professional, with good rapport. Steak was cooked to perfection for me. The ambiance was lovely, and the decor is exceptionally nice. We were, however, sitting beside a radiator that was pelting out heat - so it was very very warm! Overall, would recommend and would return; lovely spot!

Have been a few times now for different occassions. I have to say, this a gem of a restaurant. Delicious menu, lovely atmosphere, excellent front of house staff and just beats all the other local restaurants hands down! Totally recomnend!

Really nice spot in East Belfast. We were there for Sunday Lunch and they had a Sunday lunch menu and an a la carte menu. One thing that really annoys me about lots of restaurants is not having an a la carte menu on Sunday afternoons. Both menus were very good and the staff were very good especially with the toddler that was in our party. Check it out it’s well worth a visit!

Outstanding in every way, so much on the menu to pick from. Will be back so I can try everything else on it 😄 service with a smile so friendly and great value for money. I highly recommend you try this gem of a place . Thank you to the staff tonight for putting up with the five ladies who were the last to leave , brilliant wee night 5 🌟

Excellent food, excellent host (Ross), just a brilliant day out . Overall great restaurant and a lovely ambiance . A great visit

Food is beautiful here, and the staff are wonderful. Would totally recommend going here for a Sunday lunch.

Ross as always 1st class food and service . We Recommended for a family reunion. Everyone was delighted with food service and staff. Thank you so much 💓

First time visiting The Hoose and we were not disappointed! Staff are extremely polite and welcoming, food was excellent and the venue itself is unique. The beat the clock is such an amazing deal, can't believe that it wasn't as busy as I was expecting, people are missing out!! The only issue that we had was that the restaurant was way to warm and we were seated right beside the radiator. Other than that, it was great and we'll definitely be back again!!

Great varied menu...attentive and friendly staff, delicious food, great value for money....what is not to like...it has it all going for it....and the three young founders deserve a pat.on the back for a great achieve

This is a lovely restaurant-great value,homely,warm and professional staff and lovely food. You will struggle to find a restaurant in Belfast,that ticks as many boxes as Hoose.

A fabulous meal with friends. Food was delicious, service was excellent, wine and cocktails (and port and limoncello) flowed … what’s not to like?! In my opinion, one of the best restaurants in East Belfast.

Great spot. Bit of hidden gem as it’s bigger than it looks being over 3 floors. Only sorry we’d not tried it sooner. The food was very good. Great attention to detail, well presented and delicious. Service was good and staff very friendly, but a little bit too slow.

Finally was able to visit this restaurant that I wanted to try out for ages. Really nice food , interior and the best service you can ask for. Lovely dining experience will come back in the future for sure :)

Visited on Friday night staters mains dessert excellent and fantastic wine selection Ryan front of house extremely helpful and great engagement this restaurant deserves all the great reviews best in the East

One of my absolute favourite local restaurants! A complete hidden gem. Food is delicious and always well presented. Cosy atmosphere and service always 100% Have been going to the Hoose for over two years and can’t believe I haven’t posted a review sooner. Looking forward to my next visit.

Fantastic little eatery in the East Belfast. Been there several times, both with family & work colleagues - never came out disappointed with food or service quality. And, in my opinion, it is budget friendly, specifically considering quality of food you get in it. Don't pass it buy - it's a gem.

Decided to go here for our 13 year anniversary. The food was outstanding good value for money definitely go back there. All round amazing night.

Came here for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Been recommended many times and safe to say it did not disappoint. The guy that served us was super friendly, attentive and such a good laugh. The cocktails are superb, wine choice great and food even better. Really rate this wee bistro in East Belfast. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed

Really lovely visit on New Year's Eve. Food was delicious, could not recommend the Korean Beef starter highly enough it was superb. Very well cooked duck for my main that came with what may be the best cauliflower cheese I've ever had. Sticky toffee pudding for desert which was really tasty. Will most certainly be back.

My partner & I visited in Dec 23 and it was amazing. Very cosy atmosphere, we dined upstairs & it was fairly quiet at the time although it was just before closing. Our server was fantastic and offered lots of advice on the dishes and made the evening pleasant. The food was fantastic & when the bill came I was pleasantly surprised at the price compared to the quality of food. 10/10 will recommend to anyone visiting Belfast

Loved it. Server was lovely. Food was super for all four of us.

This place is excellent great decor staff fantastic we had goats cheese stater turkey and cod mains lovely Spanish wine highly recommend

This is the best restaurant in Ballyhackamore East Belfast staff superb décor fantastic and we had goats cheese starter turkey and cod lovely bottle of Spanish wine

Great food lovely staff and prompt service.. Had a Thursday night special. All mains £10.. steak was devine

We had a lovely meal there last night. Food was excellent and the range of options for gluten free was fantastic. Lovely friendly staff too. Look forward to eating there again soon.

Great place, will definitely be back

Lovely food selection, deserts are to die for! Great wine selection and staff very friendly, would definitely recommend

First time at a birthday party !! Excellent all round, definitely be back . Thank you guys .

This hidden place is a very cosy and romantic place to have a good dinner with friends or partner. Waitress was very lovely and super nice 👍 I loved they offer a birthday cake and it comes with a little candle to make it super special. Very recommended

Dining solo, with food intolerances, is not always easy. Tonight I was very impressed by the understanding waiter and flexible chef who adapted what I chose and delivered one of the best meals I’ve had in three weeks in Ireland. Serves were generous, so much so that I couldn’t eat all of either the starter or the main and certainly had no room for dessert. Coffee at the end was also excellent, and much appreciated. Kudos to Ross who looked after me and chatted while things were quiet, but also left me with space to enjoy the meal. All in all, a dining highlight. Thank you to all the team at Hoose!

Just back from Hoose Bistro after having a great meal for my wife's birthday. The service is always fantastic The food is fantastic The cocktails where fantastic.

Love this restaurant, staff excellent, a varied menú and nice atmosphere. Very importantly for me, it is coeliac friendly too!

Visited on Sunday for dinner and was blown away by the experience. Food was delicious, wine menu excellent, cocktails top notch. Can't recommend this restaurant enough.

Very glad we followed the reviews for The Hoose Bistro. My wife is a coeliac and they could not do enough to cater for her gluten-free needs. I highly recommend the Goat's Cheese Mousse starter. The food was absolutely delicious with an amazing array of choices. We usually share a starter but this time we had to choose two starters. Service was excellent with the staff very friendly and genuinely interested in our travels. I would easily come back to The Hoose Bistro.

Lovely cozy vibes, excellent food and fantastic staff! We had such a wonderful time and the prices were wayyy better than the service and quality of food led me to expect.

Absolutly fabulous, a lovely place, food and staff. A gem of a find, I felt like I was back in Greenwich Village, so chilled, relaxed and just a lovely atmosphere. My new favourite place in Belfast, a thrill when you just don’t want the meal...

First night in Belfast and we ate here! Absolutely amazing restaurant! Food and service 10 out of 10! This is our first meal in northern ireland. We have 3 more days I hope every restaurant is the same! We had the lamb dish and chicken...

Had a terrific evening at The Hoose, we were a party of 12 and have only great things to say about this place. Homely place with friendly professional staff, Ross and his team are just great. Food and menu choices excellent too. Great night had by all 👍

What a great place!! Beautiful food! A really lovely selection on the menu that left us spoilt for choice. Sea bass cooked to perfection. Lamb sooo tasty. Staff friendly but unobtrusive. Wonderful!

The food was excellent and very good value. The teatime menu was particularly so at £22 for 2 courses. This provided a perfect stop off before catching the overnight ferry.

Went with my daughter for a Sunday dinner, food was gorgeous and prices are great This place is a little hidden gem I would recommend this place to my friends and family

Lovely place but a bit tight for space, although there are 3 floors

Fantastic atmosphere, great food as normal. Had great craic with Ross and everyone went home well fed and happy. If you haven’t been to the Hoose you are missing a treat.

Delicious food, great atmosphere and brilliant service. They had a separate vegetarian/vegan menu which is always nice to see. Couldn't fault it and will definitely be back!

Everything about our dinner experience was excellent. When you visit a bistro and it is on multiple levels, sometimes the service is slow. Not here. Ross and Holly were amazing. They ran the steps to the second and third level with maximum speed while being...

My seabass meal was absolutely fabulous!

Best restaurant in Belfast! Amazing food (great vegetarian options too) and super friendly service every time.

Love this place, Ross and the staff as well as great food , make for an enjoyable dining experience.

Fantastic we place for a relaxing dinner it looks like it somebody used to live there and they converted into a restaurant and with 2 courses for £21 you can't complain about the price either lol

Absolutely beautiful meal yet again. Super vegetarian choice. Excellent service, very attentive but not overbearing staff. Highly recommend a visit.

A really lovely little bistro with a great menu and attentive friendly staff. Food is delicious and there are good vegan/vegetarian options. Would strongly recommend!

What an amazing experience we had from when we entered until we left. The food was wonderful and the service was amazing. We will be back, loved it.

Beautiful food, great cocktails and fantastic service. Loads of gluten free choices (they have separate fryers) . Highly recommended.

We had booked to have a retirement dinner at hoose and all of us were delighted with the whole experience. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the room/atmosphere was beautiful. Ross who had dealt with my entire booking could not have been anymore helpful and accommodating. Everyone said they would definitely be back soon.

Lovely restaurant, delicious food and very friendly but efficient staff. Had an amazing Sunday lunch here, roast lamb cooked to perfection.

Excellent food as per usual, great service!

Here on holiday but I'm guessing this is a total hidden gem since we were able to walk in. In love with the decoration of the place, staff are so friendly, welcoming and on the point with service. Food was outstanding, highly recommended the chicken supreme. Burger delicious. Drinks were great as well. Couldn't believe how cheap the bill came to considering the quality of food and service. Also I must have their wallpaper, it's amazing

We have visited The Hoose on a number of occasions, and it never disappoints. Service, food and atmosphere amazing. We will be back again soon!

This is only the second time we have been here but both times have been really impressed with the food and the attention to detail from the staff . Compared to other ( more expensive ) restaurants that I have been to in Belfast recently...

Service was top notch, environment and set up was amazing. Food was even better! Drinks were phenomenal! Would highly recommend. You’d be doing yourself a disservice by not going here.

This is my third time eating here and again it was wonderful. You can't go wrong with any of the meal choices and the desserts are amazing! The staff are friendly and Make you feel welcome. I'm looking forward to my next visit. From making the reservation to finishing the meals,we were made to feel welcome.

The restaurant was lovely and relaxing The food was excellent and well cooked lovely wine and fantastic staff. Great chef We had a great time. Thanks to all staff at the Hoose restaurant We will be back soon

Fantastic night in the house for a double celebration food atmosphere and service second to none. Ross our server is a total asset to the restaurant. This is our 3rd visit and we will be back a lot more. Really can't recommend it enough amazing total experience. Thank you

Lovely place, great food, great staff - so friendly. Highly recommend a visit

We dined in this lovely Bistro for my 60th birthday. There were 6 of us on 23rd December. We had excellent service from start to finish. One of our diners wasn’t enjoying the soup and was immediately offered his choice of alternative. This was served very promptly and throughly enjoyed. We will definitely return, the food and service was exceptional.

Lovely decor. Lovely food. Lovely Service & Warm-welcoming hospitality overall! 🫶 Great food · Indoor dining · Cosy atmosphere

What a fabulous Christmas dinner . The cranberry fritter was to die for. Veg perfect. Like a home cooked dinner. Profiteroles yummy also. Always a special twist on the ordinary at the Hoose .
