The Lamppost in Belfast

Friendliest staff and dog friendly place. Our brunch to go to with our doggie

Absolute love this place. Had a Lampost fry - perfect in all respects. Right content, not to greasy but still indulgent. High quality service. And affordable prices. What else would someone need from a local cafe?

Most adorable place in the east. Wish they were open more days.

What a happy place! I loved the interior design, which makes this cafe so cosy. My poached egg avocado toast and the blueberry lemon scone were delicious. We also can recommend the dirty chai Latte :-) We will definitely come back.

Ordered a French toast and it was yummy! The ambience is creative and beautiful. Highly recommend!

This used to be my favourite place to eat out and in but it's gone downhill. Very little choice now for vegans or vegetarians. The prices are extremely high and not value for money plus got served food with out of date sauces today. Not good enough certainly will not be recommending to anyone. Such a shame.

Food is OK, Dont think to visit again

Fantastic cafe particularly if you are a C S Lewis fan as the decor features lots of Narnia themes. Bit of a trek from the centre of Belfast but good to combine with a visit to C S Lewis Square. Delicious cake selection and nice tea/coffee.

This is a lovely C. S LEWIS cafe, it theme is the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe. It just magical. The food is excellent and coffee is good. I would highly recommend this it just ticks all the right boxes for me. It's also do friendly.

very expensive for the service you receive. Uninterested staff. No check backs and extremely slow. Food is ok although portion size small. Felt like the staff didn't really want to be there. For the price you pay its should be much more of an experience.

Lovely wee place for dog owners ❤️

Yummy french toast in this cute cafe

Narnia themed Sunday brunch at The Lamppost Cafe Belfast ✨ for chai latte, brioche maple syrup bacon and Ulster fry lovers. Lovely staff and faery decor. Pet 🐾 and vegan 🌱 friendly. Indoor or outdoor ☀️ experience with Patio/veranda seats option. Can even go Budget friendly £15/pp with a drink and a main.

a quirky cafe with friendly staff, good service and excellent food. it's dog friendly and has vegan/ vegetarian options

Disappointed to say that the newly "refurbished" Lamppost has lost a lot of it's charm. The menu is not as nice and much less extensive, they no longer serve alcohol, and they have shorter opening hours. These factors mean I won't be back - loved the previous cafe very much but these changes are for the worse.

Nice option for breakfast with a bit variable menu Food was tasty Friendly staff Nicely decorated though tight They need to work on the food odor smell and fix the space between the chairs Keep in mind its not close to downtown Recommended if you are around

Best GF bread yet had it in a toasties 10 out of 10

Really lovely, quirky cafe. Food is good, excellent tray bakes and scones and the coffee is very good. Staff are all friendly and attentive. The cafe is dog friendly which is always going to get it an extra star from me! It is relatively small, but feels like an intimate space where you can relax and enjoy your sustenance.

Lovely place for refreshments in a lovely area to explore and enjoy

Food delicious and speedy. Probably would be a nicer venue if it wasn't pet friendly

C.S Lewis inspired cafe. Fantastic decor in a converted home. There is seating indoors on the ground floor next to the kitchen as well as upstairs and outside. The seats and tables are each individual. Along with the eating and drinking utensils. Portions are not the biggest however, the food was rather tasty and they had a nice personal spin to it which was refreshing.

Very enjoyable experience at this quirky little restaurant decked out in CS Lewis paraphernalia. Lovely staff and good quality food and coffee. Love that it's dog friendly.

One of the nicest cafes I've ever been in.

Beautifully decorated and lovely food. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Love that you can bring a well behaved dog. Very good value for money.

Had an amazing breakfast, would highly recommend. 👌🏻 Plus it's dog friendly

This place is lovely ...it has though cut the menu right Doen so it's hard to pick something thats different if you go there alot

Tried today as it was dog friendly. It was a lovely atmosphere, and very relaxing for us and our pup. Staff were all lovely and the food & coffee was great too! Will definitely be back 😄

We won’t be back. Service was terrible. A Staff member was rude. There is s no booking but a table was reserved for ‘afternoon tea’ at 10am. Two of our party of 4 made the staff member aware of mobility issues but we were offered a table upstairs rather than vacant downstairs table. On our way out we saw the reserved tables was occupied by people having breakfast. Very disappointing to be given false story. Upstairs was cold and our food was warm not hot. The food was very tasty. No return by staff to see if everything was ok, so we didn’t stay for a second coffee as is our usual after breakfast. Very disappointed as this could have become a regular place for us. Try if you have a thick skin, a warm coat and can manage steep stairs easily.

If you love, CS Lewis and Irish breakfast, you’ll love going here. The dirty chai was delish too. 10/10.

Boa comida em um lugar aconchegante.

I have visited this lovely cafe with my sister on our trip to Belfast. Since the moment we stepped in we loved it! The atmosphere is amazing, the staff is very kind and attentive and food was superb! I had the lamppost fry up and my sister had the avocado and poached egg on sourdough bread and let me tell you, we demolished it. There is plenty of little touches that make the cafe homely and comfortable and as a dog lover myself I loved seeing all the little furry friends in there too. Definitely recommend and I know we will be going back for sure!

Fantastic spot for breakfast, thoroughly enjoyed our visit, the food was excellent, my boyfriend had the poached eggs with avocado and he raved about it. The staff were so friendly. The next time we are in Belfast we will be back.

Grest staff great food highly recommend. Quirky

Absolute best venue in Belfast for private dining. Loved every dish and every second of our night celebrating my dads 60th. Superb staff, superb food - celebrating in style 🤗😍 Called in again for a chilled Sunday breakfast after a walk with the dog. Milo (the dog) loved it, we were so welcomed and the food was gorgeous as ever- best chicken Miles had 😋 and the poached eggs weren't bad either

Great place after a long walk. The best puppichino in town. Biscuits sprinkled over the top and I managed to scrounge some bacon off the humans at the next table. Would recommend for a casual lunch with friends or a blind date......better than casual encounters in the park. Excellent service. Brilliant dog-friendly staff. Dexter x

Had a great lunch, food excellent as was the service.

Beautiful food - all day brunch/lunch menu. Just what we needed on a rainy morning.

Absolutely lovely cafe in East Belfast. I really enjoyed it here. The food was really creative and well priced and it was very cozy and well decorated inside. Definitely will be back.

Late night menu was gorgeous . Service was 5 star ++. Will definitely be back .

Lovely spot! Dog friendly and great service.

Super breakfasts - good for vegan options ❤️

Sehr nettes kleines Café, das auch eine Abendkarte hat. Lustiges Interieur! Nettes Personal! Gerne Wieder!

Very nice, calm atmosphere. I had coffee and scones for breakfast and everything was simply amazing. They have a nice patio at the back and also another seating area upstairs. they are against smoking so they don’t even have an ashtray outside in front of the cafe, so maybe bring your own.

Very nice place to take a coffee and breakfast. They have good variety and the decoration is lovely

Myself and my daughter Karmen on her day's of work we would go to the Lamppost for a meal. The food is so yummy I could eat more. The staff are BRILLIANT 👌. They are so lovely and very kind. The food is to die for. I am hopeing to go in next week,when my daughter is not working that day. We will be seeing you all very soon 🔜 I tell you all now go into the Lamppost and try their food. Brilliant, tasty 😋 they remind me of my grandmother with the welcome we get and the old fashion dinning area so beautiful ❤️ and cosy I bet you with all come back. Xxxxx👌👍💌

We have visited this cafe on 3 occasions and loved the food! Nathanael and his team offered top notch customer service They were always smiling and we’re very kind to us! My family and I are from Rochester NY and went to Belfast recently and out of all of the other cafes in Belfast this one checked all of the boxes. Nathanael was very charming and answered many of our dumb questions about the menu !

Beautiful Café. The decor is wonderful especially if you are a Narnia and C.S. Lewis fan. The food was delicious and the service exceptional.

Excellent vegan Belfast bap, my dog really enjoyed the puppachino and generally just a lovely little cafe.

Had a lovely catch up with a friend here today. We were greeted immediately on arrival and shown to a seat. The staff working were polite and friendly and our order was taken quickly. Food was delicious and good quality and I will definitely be back.

Excellent service, very friendly, highly recommended! Would come back - loved the jelly tot biscuits.

Such joy and passion from the front man. The place is decorated with such creativity and taste, an absolute treat. Transforms you to the magical world of Narnia!

Loved it got French toast with seasonal fruit and coffee. It was really lovely. Plenty of seats even allow dogs in.

Great spot with great vegan options! I really enjoyed brunch here, although the coffee isn't as good as many other places in the area but the food and buns make up for it.

What an absolutely fabulous café , have been in multiple times for breakfast once for dinner, unique décor, very friendly staff, excellent service and delicious food and an added extra it's dog friendly so can bring the pup, would highly recommended as one of the best cafes in Belfast.

Staff excellent, fry and French toast lovely, list one star because fry only lukewarm

Great little spot and super dog friendly with a little mini menu for dogs.

Couple of friends suggested me to eat at The Lamppost Cafe during my trip in Belfast. I had a very good Chicken Caesar open sandwich with soup and finished with an excellent cappuccino. Nice and very friendly staff! Highly recommended. There is free parking across the street

Recommended for lunch after a tour of C S Lewis square. It was a delightful experience. The food , decor and staff were fabulous. Will recommend to friends and I will definitely return very soon

Sitio muy agradable, acogedor y divertido. Ambientado en narnia. Me ha encantado!!! El personal suuuer amable. Los desayunos variados y riquísimos. Recomendable 100%

Well we came across this absolute gem of a place . The ambience and decor was incredible. The service was warm and friendly and the food absolutely delicious . Just a 5 minute ride out of the city in a bus or cab . The place was the best we had in Antrim and we will certainly return. Just wow Chris&Donna Isle of Man

The Lamppost Cafe has another branch in Linen Hall, Belfast! The menu remains the same, with their signature yummy egg and avocado dish. The staff are even friendlier and make for a delightful visit. Highly recommend treating yourself here. The ground floor for dogs while the second one for people want to be away from dogs. I like to see dogs all the times!

Had a splendid experience having afternoon tea on the top floor of the venue. Have always loved the quaintness of The Lamppost Cafe so much so that I wanted to share my birthday celebrations with friends & family here. The food was so fresh and delicious and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Thankyou Lamppost Cafe for a memorable birthday x

Had a quick coffee while waiting for something and really enjoyed the vibe. Nice!

Just enjoyed a very pleasant Sunday brunch, delicious food and attentive service. Special shout out to Barista Matthew - ‘Top Tier’ coffee 😋 21.05.23

Lovely place with great staff! Super friendly team and delicious drinks and food! We love to come back soon.

A super wee cafe near CS Lewis Square, with great all day breakfast menus, lunches, traybakes, and brilliant vegetarian and vegan options. Nice afternoon tea too.

This pretty CS Lewis inspired café in east Belfast is a treasure trove of vintage crockery, quirky Narnia-themed artwork and with its perfectly pitched playlist, is a delightfully cosy family run affair offering fabulous food, coffee, tea and delicious tray-bakes all using local produce and suppliers. The Lamppost is now open on Friday and Saturday evenings with a brand new menu featuring a great selection of large and small dishes with suggested wine pairing, and some great vegetarian and vegan options, so we were delighted to have been invited down to be one of the first to try out the new menu. We began with a gorgeous Mackerel Rillette with watercress, cucumber pickle, and toasted sourdough, a Tempura Oyster Mushroom with maple glaze, kimchi bean sprouts, and an incredible gochujang mayo, and Grilled Asparagus with harissa yogurt, dill and toasted almonds, all of which were perfect sharing starters. To follow, the Mussels with Orzo, leeks, peas and saffron cream were fresh and bursting with flavour, and the Lentil Dahl with miso tofu and crispy onions with triangles of pitta bread for dipping was one of the tastiest vegan dishes we’d had in quite a while, accompanied by some steamed Asian Greens in sesame and ginger. To finish we had a light yet luscious Lemon Roulade with fresh fruit and vanilla cream, and some vegan cheese, a plant based, spirulina blue-veined wedge of Cashew Blue from Nourish Good Food, with crackers and Irish Black Butter. All washed down with an excellent bottle of Porta 6, and some great cocktails, this is a terrific new menu. Many thanks to the team at the Lamppost for a wonderful evening of fantastic food, service and warm hospitality.

伯爵点了vegan breakfast 自制的🍅酱味道很赞 sausage 也😋五星

This is a great local independent cafe , family owned , serving lovely home made food . A doggie friendly cosy atmosphere with fairytale interiors. Now open on Saturday night also !

Amazing food and really helpful and nice staff. It has a great vibe, full of lots of little trinkets and the place is spotlessly clean. My favourite cafe in Belfast. My recommendation is the poached eggs, with avocado on sourdough, sprinkled with feta, walnuts and chilli flakes! Drool!

My first time in The Lamppost and found it charming and friendly with excellent service and delicious food. The layout and stairs may make it less accessible for people with mobility issues but this did not apply to our group. The red toilet seat indicated a dementia friendly establishment.

Lovely cosy little gem. Super friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was top notch. Would highly recommend.

The staff service was amazing and the food was great i came from Scotland and i really enjoyed the meal

This place has such an old English vibe! With teapots, paintings and florals everywhere, it really felt cozy and warm. The food was above average in quality and taste. However, the quantity can be slightly more. The afternoon tea menu looked nice so will probably try that next time. But overall, it's a great place.

Stellar customer service, wonderful atmosphere; highly recommend the baked goods!

Cute, comfy cafe with delightful staff. The food was nice, particularly the baked goods. Dog friendly and also great for veggie and gluten-free options.

We had the best experience, we were able to bring out dog and have a lovely brunch. The two guys who own it were so great, very friendly and welcoming. They made a big fuss over our dog and he was treated as well as (if not better haha) a paying customer. This was such a lovely experience, we had the the French toast and my partner had the stew. Will definitely be back!

Happy with overall service staff are lovely and pleasant.

Loved the décor and atmosphere of the place. Service was friendly all the food was tempting, would have liked a veggie fry as well as a vegan fry or a couple more veggies choices not vegan but understand why. Will be returning

Lovely food and coffee in a cosy setting - much more pleasant surroundings than a chain restaurant

Very poor service. Dark and dingy atmosphere. Would not recommend this cafe. Hard to accept all the good comments.

Went for lunch today and we both had their 'Lamppost Fry' which was great and the service so friendly and helpful. Thank you! Lovely lunch date!

Very disappointing Afternoon Tea. My daughter treated me as part of my Mother's Day present. Very sparsely filled sandwiches, the pastries didn't taste like homemade, they resembled something from the freezer section of a supermarket. Scones weren't homemade either.All in all very poor value and not good food. It was pathetic. Definitely won't be back.

Lovely little cafe in Belfast. Gorgeous decor, friendly staff and delicious food. The coffee is great. Will be back for sure.

Amazing food and great friendly staff. Been there on breakfast while visiting Belfast. Would definetly come again.

Lovely place....music very quaint and a welcom change. Food choices great to meet all needs and staff very friendly. Dogs welcome. However, this place could go a step beyond. Quirky and quaint, it could just use a little fine tuning. Maybe a lick of paint on the way in and at the main desk in the front room, and ensure the bathroom is ultra taken care of and be attentive about its presentation. It's a great place to stop at on the Newtownrds Rd.

A great find for lunch. I had the Family Beef Stew with home-made Guinness bread followed by an apple & cinnamon scone. All was absolutely delicious with friendly, efficient service. I did leave my scarf there so I hope I can get it back next time I'm in Belfast.

Food is always on point and ts great you can bring your dog. My boyfriend loves it, the only thing he would say is the portion size of rhe fry is a little small for the price

First time in this cafe and definitely will be returning. 4 friends for afternoon tea celebrating a birthday 🎂 Lovely food and atmosphere

It's the loveliest place, the staff are fab and the interior is so quirky!! The food was beautiful, I like the kids menu didn't contain the usual beige mass of nuggets and chips!!

One of the nicest fry's ive had in a good while. Staff friendly and dogs are allowed actually encouraged.

Went on Saturday for the first time and wasn’t disappointed! The menu and food is outstanding and it’s dog friendly what more could you ask for

What a delightfully perfect evening we had! Fourteen of us gathered for a surprise meal to celebrate my husband's retirement in the upper top floor room. We all left with special memories of a unique venue, outstanding service and food perfectly cooked. The inclusive service was reminiscent of gentler days, with food served on an eclectic collection of fine porcelain crockery. Correspondence and planning with Victoria could not have been easier. She was incredibly accomodating and all dietary requirements were easily met. Nothing was too much bother. This is a perfect place for a family function or special occasion. The Narnia decor adds so much charm and it truly feels like a step back in time. The food was delicious...Starters included Winter vegetable soup, Buffalo chicken wings and Chicken liver pate. Followed by Roast beef, Teryaki pork and Thai green curry. Finally desserts of Sticky toffee pudding, Lemon tart and Vegan chocolate tart. Everyone agreed that the food was lovely and service impeccable. This is a perfect place to spend time with dear ones. We will be back and highly recommend. Thank you to all the staff who worked hard to give my family a very memorable evening!

Popped in for brekkie Sunday 29.1.23. Quirky but lovely interior. Opted for a fry which was outstanding. I’ve had a number of fry’s over the years in Belfast which were extremely disappointing. This was head and shoulders above the rest. Really chilled vibe, great tunes, lovely staff, beautiful food. What more do you want! Highly recommended.

Wonderful atmosphere and dining experience. It is beautifully decorated and so quaint. Dog friendly with lots of nods to Narnia. Amazing menu and food.I took the photo after our meal we were a large party at all the tables.

Food was gorgeous. I would highly recommend

Love the food choice, quality of the food, the friendly staff and the whole ambience of the place. They have a doggy menu as well

The owner is 5 stars. I love the place.

We had afternoon tea for a large group and it was lovely! Would recommend.
