The Muddlers Club in Belfast

La mejor comida y servicio que hemos tenido! ¡De principio a fin todo fue realmente digno de su estrella Michelin! ¡Tanta relación calidad-precio!

He estado allí junto con mi familia recientemente. Es un ambiente muy agradable y un servicio perfecto allí. Acabamos de disfrutar de una comida muy sabrosa con precios asequibles.

Tenía grandes expectativas de The Muddlers Club dado su estatus de estrella Michelin, sin embargo mi experiencia gastronómica no estuvo a la altura de las expectativas. La comida estaba muy bien presentada, pero era imposible escuchar la descripción verbal de la comida durante cualquier curso que era menos de lo esperado en este estándar de comida y esto resultó en la experiencia de comer siendo un juego de adivinanzas. Los favores de algún curso fueron equilibrados pero a veces abrumadores y además, impactados por un olor sensorial desagradable y cuando se plantearon con el personal, dieron lugar a que olieran el plato para impugnar nuestra propia descripción. Somos conscientes de que el olor de una serie de ingredientes, incluido el azafrán, a veces puede traducirse como un olor a «agua sucia de los platos», esto no se consideró, sino que se produjo un olfateo poco profesional de los platos. Mientras que antes del último curso se ofrecía un gesto de buena voluntad, esto se sentía medio entusiasmado en lugar de un deseo de garantizar la satisfacción del cliente. Espero más de un establecimiento estrella Michelin en términos de recuperación de servicios. Además, me sorprendió el servicio, por ejemplo mi vino servía sin ninguna descripción o detalle que se sentía impersonal. El ambiente era elegante, pero demasiado ruidoso para la comida, lo que hizo prácticamente imposible escuchar al personal de servicio. En general, aunque reconozco los altos estándares de los restaurantes, mi experiencia no cumplió con el nivel de excelencia que esperaba. Es decepcionante, sobre todo dados los elogios, y no estoy seguro de volver basado en esta experiencia.

El servicio era amable y fácil - ir pero todavía muy profesional. El ambiente era casual / relajado. Y la comida era increíble - incluso para un restaurante estrella Michelin. Tuvimos el menú degustación de la noche con vuelo de vino. Cada plato era perfecto: lleno de sabor, grandes maridajes de ingredientes y texturas, bellamente presentado. Imposible elegir un plato favorito, pero los recuerdos más fuertes son las bolsas de diversión, el sarro de ternera, el bacalao con alcachofa de Jerusalén y el postre de choc/caramelo/naranja. El precio era normal para un michelín - restaurante estrella - que creo que significa una buena relación calidad-precio dada la calidad de la comida.

Primera vez de vuelta en muddlers en un tiempo, y aunque la experiencia es mucho más caro que nuestra visita anterior, valió la pena (sobre todo! ). El equipo es súper atento sin estar sobrecargado, y la comida era fabulosa. La carta de vinos era algo restrictiva, lo que nos empujó hacia la opción de maridaje de vinos. ¡Nos quedamos satisfechos con esta elección ya que los servidores no eran demasiado ‘ahorradores’ con las medidas! ¡Esperamos volver a los embrolladores de nuevo en el futuro!

Das Restaurant reiht sich nahtlos in die derzeit so beliebte internationale nachhaltige Küche ein, die auf frische, lokale und kreativ verarbeitete Produkte wert legt. Unser Überraschungsmenü war ein fein abgestimmter Genuss von Anfang bis zum Ende. Der Service war professionell, was an sich auch ausreichte. Die Stimmung im Lokal war prächtig, was die Geräuschkulisse auch sehr schön widerspiegelte. Wer in Belfast gut essen gehen möchte, sollte im Muddlers Club unbedingt einen Tisch reservieren.

The remarkable service took this dining experience above and beyond. The seasonal tasting menu truly is a treat, we recommend the wine pairing as well. The service was above and beyond, with knowledgeable and caring staff.

Realmente me encantó este lugar cuando abrió, pero ahora que tienen una estrella Michelin siento que todo es un poco decepcionante. No me malinterpretes la comida es excepcional y todo lo que te metes en la boca es impecable, los tamaños de las porciones no son para la persona hambrienta, incluso con tantos platos pequeños. Es el servicio lo que realmente es pobre, y como alguien que cena mucho son las pequeñas cosas las que hacen una gran diferencia. Tener que servir su propia agua y vino cuando pagar más de £ 300 por pareja no es genial. Tener que levantar la mano para llamar la atención para pedir bebidas, tener que sentarse en casi la oscuridad y después de que la cocina ha terminado de ver a los chefs beber en la cocina y luego apagar las luces no era lo que esperaba de este restaurante una vez genial. Casi sentí que a las 10: 40 pm que todo el mundo estaba limpiando inodoros, pisos y bares y nadie estaba tomando órdenes de bebidas que querían que nos fuéramos. En general no es una gran experiencia Michelin 😕

Food is superb, atmosphere relaxed and stunning. Staff super attentive and wine selection excellent! Would 100% reccommemd

Excellent food and service. Noise level so extreme it was difficult to have a normal conversation. This appeared to be an experience for all as most diners were shouting at each other. A need for some soft furnishings to absorb some noise.

Superb meal last night at The Muddlers Club. Absolutely love this restaurant from brilliant food, great atmosphere and friendly relaxed staff there really isn’t much not to like. Thanks to all the staff for an excellent evening that has kick started our Christmas.

Just had the most incredible dining experience at The Muddlers Club in Belfast. From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for something special, but this surpassed every expectation. The tasting menu was a culinary journey like no other – each dish a masterpiece of flavours, textures, and creativity. The attention to detail was impeccable, showcasing not just skill but a genuine passion for food. Every bite told a story, and each course felt like a perfect crescendo to the next. The wine flight was the perfect companion to the meal, carefully curated to enhance and elevate the flavours. The pairings were thoughtful and surprising, adding an extra layer of depth to the entire experience. The atmosphere was intimate yet buzzing, with a perfect balance of sophistication and warmth. The staff? Absolutely phenomenal. Their knowledge, enthusiasm, and care made us feel like honoured guests, guiding us through the lunch with effortless charm. If you’re in Belfast and want to experience something truly unforgettable, The Muddlers Club is an absolute must. Thank you to the entire team for a lunchtime we’ll never forget – we’ll be back, and we’ll be telling everyone we know! #FoodieHeaven #BelfastEats #TheMuddlersClub

Excellent food and service. Worth a visit for those who enjoy the fine dining experience.

What a great restaurant ! The staff are so friendly, the food was magnificent, and the place is not pretentious in the least. We would definitely recommend a visit to The Muddlers Club

Great culinary experience, a really good and balanced (not too rich) tasting menu. And a great staff service. Recommended 👌😁

Tuvimos una excelente comida aquí. Cada plato era delicioso y sería difícil elegir uno favorito. Lo tuvimos con el vuelo de vino que también era bueno. Terminamos con una tabla de queso opcional. No era una comida barata de lejos, pero lo sabíamos antes de reservarlo. Pero valió la pena. Es un restaurante relajado, con personal amable, bastante ruidoso y tenía buena música. Esa fue la única desventaja para mí, ya que mi audición no es la mejor y a veces me costó escuchar lo que el personal de camareros estaba diciendo, pero definitivamente volvería de nuevo si volviera a Belfast sin pensarlo dos veces.

Everything just fantastic. Looking forward to our next visit.

Comida increíble y servicio increíble! Nos encantó cada curso. Un verdadero placer. Sin duda volveremos. ¡Gracias club Muddlers!

We lunched here last week and the tasting menu was excellent. Our server, Thomas, was great, attentive, helpful and friendly. I have an allergy to certain white fish so was unable to eat the cod on the menu. Thomas and the kitchen came up with an excellent alternative! As some others have mentioned, the restaurant is rather noisy, but that didn't spoil our enjoyment.

Tuvimos una comida increíble con un ambiente brillante aquí. La comida era fantástica y el servicio era genial. Tengo que decir que fue una de las mejores experiencias que he tenido en mucho tiempo

Tasting menu with prestige wine menu was awesome. Highly recommended for food gourmans.

No es el lugar más fácil de encontrar (está escondido), así que llegamos un poco tarde para nuestra reserva. Era la antipatía total a los restaurantes M* habituales y flacuchos. Un ambiente muy relajado, casual. Estaban encantados de proporcionar los menús degustación, y degustación de verduras, que no siempre es el caso. La comida era fabulosa. Sin egos de chef en exhibición -sin Heston-, experimentación esque, sin tonterías tipo "helado de ostras" (que en realidad se ven en un menú en Galway) , simplemente buenos ingredientes, perfectamente cocinados y combinaciones que funcionaron al 100 %. Tuvimos el vuelo de vino, que también fue excelente. Halibut era mi estrella personal, pero entonces el fletán siempre lo es, siempre que esté en un menú. A menos que esté demasiado cocido, que no estaba aquí. Solo dos comentarios menos que brillantes. Nada personal aquí, pero un fuerte acento de Belfast es muy difícil para los oídos suaves del sur de Inglaterra, y con el bullicio y la música simplemente no podíamos entender a nuestros servidores, especialmente a la sumiller como describió el vino. Tuvimos que fingir con una sonrisa consciente, ya que pedir una repetición interminable es vergonzoso. Hablar más alto ayudaría. También me sorprendieron las servilletas de papel. Seguramente algún lugar de este calibre podría correr a la ropa. En general, disfrutamos de la experiencia enormemente y no dudaría en recomendar.

Down a little alley, hidden away in Belfast Cathedral quarter is a gem of a restaurant you must try. We had the tasting menu (i believe that this is all they offer) but it’s worth every penny. I had a vegan menu and every course (6) was so delicious but the consume was off the scale. This is fine dining on another level.

We have been to The Muddlers Club at least 4 times over the past few years and are constantly amazed by the food. The quality, attention to detail, and inventiveness of the dishes never cease to amaze us. The service by the whole team is also top quality and friendly, with each course being delivered expertly, with details of the dish explained before you experience them. Looking forward to being back in October/November. I can not recommend The Muddlers Club enough! Thank you for an awesome dining experience every time!

Absolutely perfect place for a special occasion dinner.

Outstanding restaurant. Staff all pros. Tasting menu with perfect coordinated tastes. Deserves two stars.

We were not expecting it to be so fabulous. Every taste and texture has been planned to coordinate I was skeptical of a tasting menu only. Worked out perfectly. Sauces are amazing. Staff extremely knowledgeable and helpful. White wine too cold. Deserves two stars.

Atmosphere and service amazing, could not be better. 5/5 for vegetarian tasting menu, 4/5 on the regular tasting menu, cocktails could use some work. Look forward to going back.

The food and wine list were excellent, as was the service. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back to this restaurant.

Exceptional. As a solo diner, I was made to feel like I had company by the really attentive and friendly front of house, especially by Thomas who was my main waiter for the evening. Comfortable and unpretentious, familiar and hospitable. The food was excellent and the courses well paced. Wine pairings were great. The cheese course is a must! The value for money is great as this is definitely at the lower end of cost for Michelin star dining.

We are there this evening with the chefs taster menu. What an amazing experience, food was incredible, staff were very attentive and remembered my wife’s birthday (which I had mentioned at booking). 100% recommend this place and we certainly will be back!

This is an amazing food experience and even though each course is small, by the end, you will be stuffed. Unique and delicious combinations.

This is a Michelin star restaurant, the tasting menu is advertised at 90E's, so I'm not sure why people complain about the price. When we booked we let them know that we don't eat red meat and this was catered for. We started with an amuse bouche, excellent bread, butter & olive oil then two starters, one crab, one vegetarian, 2 fish courses for main and 2 desserts. Every plate was delicious and worth its Michelin star. Service was excellent from Isobel and Martha, they knew their wines and were just lovely, we ordered a bottle rather than take the wine pairing option. As the evening progressed the music from the kitchen got a little louder which we loved. It was interesting watching the kitchen team work tirelessly and seemingly effortlessly. Muddler's is a well oiled machine worthy of its Michelin rating.

a must place to visit. Service and staff are outstanding. The food was presented in a unique way and was most enjoyable.

Nice, it was an experience but no better than Six by Nico and way more expensive. Small and loud! Lacks a little ambience. Not somewhere to rush back to .

The Muddlers Club is a Michelin star restaurant in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter in Belfast. We have been wanting to go here for so long and finally had a good excuse to visit! The wait was definitely worth it 😁 The Muddlers Club impressively have a full vegan tasting menu. This was a spread of multiple dishes, with each one being as delicious as the next. We spoke to the servers and found that all the ingredients are sourced locally from an organic farm in NI. This farm only supplies the high end restaurants in Belfast and having tasted the produce I can see why. Each dish was based heavily around local ingredients which was even more impressive as their chefs weren't hiding behind fake meats or protein sources like Tofu, Tempeh or Seitan. This really meant the vegetables could be the star of each dish and with the marinades and perfect preparation, they really did steal the show. The service was excellent, getting a perfect blend between professionalism but also adding a human touch. I will absolute come back here as soon as I possibly can. Well worth the money and an absolute must for foodies in Belfast 😋

Went here for a birthday celebration. The food was fantastic. Some of us don’t eat fish so we swapped out to the veg option when needed and that was no issue. Definitely worth a visit if looking a wee treat for yourself as it’s obviously pricey. We couldn’t really understand what the waiter was saying due to some language issues but didn’t stop us enjoying the food!

We really enjoyed the tastes and textures of the food. Service was excellent. I found the piped music took away from my enjoyment of the evening.

Food is good but expensive. The food was good and I did have dietary changes (don’t eat beef)and they could not not Make limited changes which was disappointing. Still good food.

I never realised vegetables could taste so good! Went here whilst in Belfast for the weekend. You have to book a few weeks in advance and get in quick at the tables go fast. 7 course taster menu. Hubby had the meat/fish option, I opted for the vegan version. Every course was amazing. Staff brought out each course and were very knowledgeable of the ingredients. The place itself is a lot smaller than expected, which allows the staff to be attentive.

Wonderful evening with quality food, wine and service. To kick the evening off, their 'old fashioned' are the best in Belfast.

At long last, a visit to the Muddler’s Club and it was worth the wait. Starting with a seat at the bar, we began with a recommendation from the cocktail menu, delicious & expertly made. The meal was their tasting menu and was truly a journey from strength to strength….everything was delivered elegantly, deliberately, with intense flavour, inventive textures and superlative service. Highlights were the burrata starter with tomato flavours evocative of Provence, and the monkfish main with a prawn bisque worth its weight in gold. Every dish, from the pre meal snack to the final dessert, included perfectly arrayed and prepared ingredients…with accurate and sublime flavours, this menu was designed and prepared by a chef and brigade at the top of their game. A return to the Muddler’s Club is now a necessity…thank you especially to our server Thomas who helped to make the evening superb!

Omg...what an experience. Walked in and requested table for 1. Waited 20 mins and then was escorted to my table. Service impeccable throughout the evening. The food.....to die for. Absolutely gorgeous. A pleasure to taste each course. 10/10

Unique dining experience with wonderful staff and service.

Off the beaten path Michelin star restaurant. Not to be missed! The food speaks for itself and the chef's tasting was the best meal I have ever emjoyed

If I could give more than five stars, I would. Everything was delicious and so carefully prepared. The staff were friendly, kind, and efficient. Don’t go if you’re in a rush: This place is an experience to be savored slowly, and they treat it as such. I was especially impressed by their flexibility in accommodating my allergy. They changed nearly every dish for me, were very solicitous, and everything was still delicious. Also, great cocktails and wines. If we had this place in Brooklyn, we’d go once a month.

We made a reservation for the first day we arrived in Belfast and went to this place, We encountered an excellent quality of service from the moment we entered the restaurant to the moment we left. We tried the tasting menu and encountered multiple factors to influence each course. We really had a very different tasting experience in terms of food. We felt the taste of the dessert we ate change in our mouth even as we ate it, and the way these two tastes went together was wonderful. We had equally great experiences with cocktails and were definitely not disappointed in almost anything we tried. It was a very nice experience in terms of service, each course that arrived was explained in detail and great attention was paid to each one, including special cutlery. Everyone showed incredible interest, especially Isabelle, who helped us have a really good time and increased the quality of our experience with the attention she showed us. Despite certain sensitivities and allergies we showed regarding the food, they adapted the menu accordingly and presented it to us. There was a really elite and retro atmosphere about the atmosphere, this interior design created a very sweet contrast with the light music coming from the background. It was a quality place that met the expectations expected from a Michelin star place. Even though the prices are high due to its quality, we definitely recommend it as a place to try when you come to Belfast.

The noise made it difficult to speak. The table was sticky. The dishes took 15 minutes between the removal of one and the next. They abused the rhubarb in the combination of dishes. (Expectations are high when you go to a Michelin star restaurant). Disappointed by the quality/price.

Our best meal in Belfast! The service was exceptional- very rarely are the staff so cheerful and so attentive. The food was delicious- somehow it got better with every course. I am a vegetarian and I didn't feel like I was making do- every dish was well thought and well execited- I didn't get the same vegetable twice in the menu, which is commendable. If I come back to Belfast, I am definitely coming back for more!

Amazing restaurant in an amazing town. The food service wine and atmosphere was perfect. You must plan ahead to get this reservation but will be worth it! 👍

Impeccable service, sensational taster menu, great cocktails. Absolutely deserves its reputation. The rhubarb ice cream was wonderful. Not the cheapest but value for money. Well worth a visit.

Dined here solo On a Saturday night. There were all two other solo tables and with views of the kitchen, can be quite entertaining. Long room with little interior deco- industrial style With an open kitchen and low Lighting The noise levels can get quite high with the lack of soft furnishings Wood tables and wood chairs. Tables are generally low with bronze light lamp on the table Great cocktail- coconut margaritas were excellent as was the chilli caiparinia. Bread In two form: slides sour dough and a ball was Ok. The pork butter was interesting as was the good oil for dip The trio of amouse bouche was goods and the best was the like the sea trout tartlet The first starters: Torched scallops with broth and half peas with pea shoots- broth was too sweet made from the pure onion consommé. If it had an extra sugar would suggest reduction. Second starter: Creamed burrata with a pesto sweet sauce with nuts and crispy bread and heritage tomatoes, really worked well as it was creamy, sweet and sour from the tomatoes and a really delight of a dish. First main: Halibut with horse radish and beu blanc, fish wa dry Courgette buttons and asparagus heads Second mains: Salted beef about 30g with a leaf of wild garlic over , a new potato which was boiled and a stalk of asparagus and a small beet root. The beef looked pink but was overdone to be medium tare. The whole dish looked great but was a let down by taste as When all components came to gather it didn’t wow. Pre desert: Rhubarb with peppercorn and Curd With Drink of rhubarb juice and cream On the top was Excellent. Rhubarb was rather fibrous but sweetened. The desert of Coconut cracker , Chocolate cracker , Chocolate mud and Hazelnut cream was good was both a save dish and did not wow. Niall who provided the service was excellent. Best meal I had in Belfast.

I really loved the vibe of this restaurant, it was really laid back, and each dish on the tasty menu was thoroughly explained. I also found the service to be exceptional; definitely on par with U.S. standards. If you are in Belfast, I highly recommend you check this place out.

Great tasting menu. All the dishes were fantastic. Service was great.

Beautiful food, wine and excellent service. Not cheap but worth the cost for a special occasion

Dined here on Saturday night. Food and service was exceptional. Well worth the money.

Cannot fault anything about the service or food. Everything was top notch without being overbearing or pretentious and the ambience of the venue was fantastic. The food was wonderful with each course matched with a wonderful wine. My favourite course was the venison, it melted in the mouth and the desert wine, a Gewurztraminer, was unbelievably good as well. It is however a shame to single them out as the whole food experience was so good. The same can be said for the service, for such a young set of staff, all exuded knowledge of food and wine well beyond their years and their attention to detail and service was unrivalled without being overbearing. Worth visiting the wonderful city of Belfast just to dine here!

Service was fantastic, food was absolutely terrific and drinks were spot on(cocktails). Only fault would be that it's extremely loud and I couldn't hear a word what the waiter was explaining when each dish was brought out. Other than that, great experience!

Food was great bar one coarse. The one with the scallop foam. I could not understand it at all and often I can appreciate something without actually liking it. Other than that great food, Very pleasant staff and great wine as well. Thank you.

Absolutely unreal experience- from the welcome, the service and of course the food… my dessert this evening was the best I’ve ever had. Special commendation to Niall- his knowledge and attentiveness is second to none!

Food was outstanding , but some of the serving staff were rude and arrogant . We had the tasting menu with wine pairing . The dishes were almost thrown down with poor explanation. The sommelier clearly had an issue with our table of four . He was rhyming off the wines from a script and laker explanation. When asked to repeat because we hadn’t heard he was visibly annoyed . The glasses were plonked down in front of us . He clearly was not having a good night with us for whatever reason but it really ruined the atmosphere and the mood . Only My champagne glass was removed by him after the first course , with half a bottle left . He was rude lacked etiquette you would expect in this standard of restaurant. I didn’t get his name as he didn’t introduce himself but when we commented to Chris who had seated us that the staff were rude he did change the service and we very much appreciated that. A great meal which was tainted by poor service .

This was our second time here for our wedding anniversary and honestly words can’t describe how fantastic this place is! All of the staff are soo friendly and knowledgeable on the wine and food. Niall was our server and was soo helpful, friendly and down right a credit to the restaurant. Safe to say we’ll be back soon for another quality night! Thank you to on all the chefs and staff!

Absolutely 1st class and the tasting menu was amazing.Special mention to Chris our waiter who was brilliant, informative and helped make the night. Highly recommend for an evening out.

The tasting menu was amazing. Six courses of small plates, beautifully presented with wonderfully rich flavours, each paired with a different wine. The staff were excellent and very well informed.

Took mum for lunch (80th birthday) yesterday and we had such a great time. The food was out of this world in the sense that we had not experienced the smells, textures and taste combinations before. You can tell a lot of work and honing has gone into the dishes to make them perfect. The service was also outstanding; professional and attentive. Special thanks to Anton and Chris who charmingly served, presented and informed each of our courses. You can easily see why this restaurant was awarded a Michelin star.

Hands down nicest food I've ever had. Packed full of flavour, presentation was beautiful and the food with served to perfection

One of the best meals of the year, the service is perfect and the food blew us away. The cocktails are the best in town, too. Can’t fault it, just perfect.

Absolutely Amazing Food was Devine !

The food was flawless, and the atmosphere cosy and relaxed. A really, really special evening. We reckon it is the best meal we’ve had in Belfast - including other Michelin starred and highly respected restaurants in the town. Absolutely delicious and substance never sacrificed for style.

Food was excellent, hated the guy serving the wine match putting his nose right up to my glass or the bottle like he had to enjoy the scent before explaining the wine and then handing it to me. Very noisy for a restaurant of this grade. Couldn’t hear the staff when talking

Lunch here on the 23rd December. Truly the best menu and food they have ever produced. Exceptional and shout out to Niall who was amazing as always.

This place holds a special place to us so was excited to get back as it is a proper treat to get here. On arrival the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. This time round we didn’t do the wine pairing as we found before it was excessive as ended up just drinking the wine not necessarily matched with the dish so we just ordered two glasses of champagne and a bottle of wine , both beautiful. We got the snacks and again they were lovely. With regard to the tasting plates I personally thought some of them lacked the standard I would expect from a Michelin star restaurant, however the quality of meat and fish is still top quality. I personally wasn’t a fan of the chicken gravy with cod combination and did say to them that the ginger dessert lacked any flavour. On this occasion my overall experience for the price paid I thought it didn’t quite live up to its reputation.

We had an amazing dinner experience. Food was amazing!! Will definitely come back. Service was also excellent, friendly and easygoing. Interesting wine list ( organic and vegan)

Best restaurant in the North. Sits alongside Mourne Seafood Dundrum & The Parson’s Nose Hillsborough as the Best of the North in terms of cuisine. Beautiful Menu, Wonderful Wine, Incredible Service. Absolute dream. Support local - raise Belfast fine dining & book now!

Amazing food paired with fabulous wines. Service was amazing. Only slight disappointment was having to pay for tap water.

Amazing experience... Love the fact you don't know what you are going to be served but you won't be disappointed. The flavour and creativity of each dish shows what amazing talent there is in the kitchen. Service was excellent too. 100% worth it!

Great Michelin-started experience. For the quality of the food and service, the price is fantastic. Food was immaculate, my friend was pescatarian and they provided a separate menu for her with no problems at all. Service was great and the sommeliers are very insightful. Best dish I had was the scallop pancetta and consumme dish it was so bloody good. Would definitely recommend here as an introduction to Michelin starred dining.

This restaurant, highly recommended by the Michelin Guide, is truly a hidden gem. Its discreet location made it a bit challenging for us to find, but the effort was undoubtedly worthwhile. The bread provided was exceptionally delicious, and the sourced butter added to the delightful dining experience. Every course we ordered was incredibly tasty, and I strongly recommend considering the cheese supplement—it's worth every bite. The overall dining experience was so exceptional that I am eager to return when I have the opportunity to visit Belfast again.

Fabulous evening, food and wine delicious, cocktails sublime. Staff so friendly attentive and knowledgeable. Our first visit, hopefully not our last

Fantastic. Had the tasting menu but bought wine rather than pairing. Superb food, presentation, service and the best thing is the place is very relaxed. Highly recommended.

A lovely experience. The service was first class not overcrowded or stuffy. The place was very busy for a Thursday night. The pace of the meal was perfect . The food served was delicious. The meal was very expensive and not somewhere I could go very often but would I return yes

Fantastic food and excellent service.

Superb! Tasting menu delicious. Great atmosphere and service good.

A group of four, including one vegan, we had an absolutely outstanding experience here. The food was cleverly and skilfully prepared, beautifully presented and utterly delicious. The matched wines were interesting and perfectly paired with each course. Our vegan guest was given vegan wines to accompany her courses. What really stood out though was the quality of the service. Each waiter was able to talk knowledgeably about both food and wine and all were friendly, welcoming and chatty. A great advert for Belfast - and we will be back the next time we come to the city.

Best staff . Made us feel at home. Food was excellent. Toilets where fresh and clean Lovely evening

We have been lucky enough to eat at several Michelin star restaurants and every one has felt special and lived up to expectations, feeling like it was worth the expense. The muddlers club is the first of these to let us down. We were told we would be looked after by Chris but then only saw him a couple more times. Descriptions were limited or delivered in bored monotone. No one enquired about the reason for our visit ( had put 30th anniversary on booking but no mention made). The food was good but nothing we had not tasted before, no wow factor. No little extra tasters that you usual get. The ambience felt squashed and just not special. As we left it was clear everyone was keen to get the night over with, we were not walked to the door. Overall really disappointing, felt like we had been taken for granted.

We flew from the Uk especially to visit this restaurant. After reading some of the mixed reviews I can definitely say we were not disappointed. We were warmly welcomed by Barry who was interested to hear why we were visiting Belfast. We were served by a number of staff throughout our meal who were all friendly and chatty. The number of serving staff certainly did not detract from the experience, quite the opposite. We were made to feel special by everybody. The food … wow!! We were a party of two, one being vegetarian. I wasn’t served the usual plates of bland vegetables - quite the opposite. It was a culinary experience of vegetables which danced across my palate through the 6 course tasting menu. Was there one highlight? No - everything was a highlight and each course was simply stunning. The open kitchen was also another highlight. It was calmly and peacefully run by the Head Chef. Everything was executed to perfection. It’s not will we return, it’s when will we return. We will most definitely back to one of our favourite cities.

Amazing food and excellent service!!

Best meal Ive ever eaten. Superb.

I rarely finish a two course meal but tonight at the Muddlers I had seven courses and I cleaned the plate on every course. My husband has never sen that in all the years we have been married. The food kid to die for. The service is amazing and the atmosphere is really warm. If you go to Belfast check this place out. You will not be disappointed. I’m from Donegal but will be booking early for here when I’m back for the Xmas markets

Nothing beats the Muddlers Club for fine dining in Belfast and nothing bad to say. Ever. And this Friday The atmosphere is buzzing, the service attentive but not intrusive, and the wine pairings are not just spot on, but given with multiple well informed options so you feel as though the sommeliers care for your palate and not just evidencing a capacity to remember. Dishes are of exceptional quality, seasonal, artisan, delicately assembled, all the buzz words, but with none of the pretentious smeary nonsense of the wannabe brigade. This is the real thing and so deserving of its Michelin status. This review can’t do justice to the thought care and creativity that Gareth and his exceptional team bring to a diverse and colourful tasting menu, to try and capture the complementary and complex flavours by listing ingredients is beyond me, and would sound like a shopping list. Suffice to say, eight years on, it continues to be my favourite and special place - and who knew that a heritage tomato consommé could reduce a noisy table of carnivores to silence!

Perfect dinner and wine tasting in a kind of raw furnished restaurant. The flexibility towards dietery wishes is perfect.

Cost an arm and a leg! But good all round experience for a special occasion. Really enjoyed having a front and centre view of the kitchen, didn’t really appreciate the frantic pace that is involved in a high end kitchen. Food was excellent. Went for the full works with wine parings included. After 2 cocktails and 5 glasses of wine the tasting experience was maybe lost somewhat, although completely self inflicted!

Wedding Anniversary Disappointing Visit… Not going to lie we are Michelin Snobs we’ve eaten all over the country as we love this dining experience… We had 3 Michelin restaurants to choose from in Belfast…did we choose the wrong one? The Muddlers isn’t laid out like other M restaurants we’ve been too… It felt over crowded and it was very noisy and dark lighting…and a table that was quite small and felt like I was just in a pub. We opted for the wine pairing with the tasting menu but you don’t actually get a menu to look at No description of starters/mains/desserts… No history of where the produce had come from… We’ve never had that before. Served by various servers so the experience just didn’t seem as personal and professional as we’ve experienced before. Food was nice and accommodated myself being Gluten intolerant however we did have a long wait between a couple of courses which made me think it was because of how busy it was. No complimentary petit fours or even that nice touch of ‘Happy Anniversary’ Not worth the money for the experience and is certainly not the same culinary Michelin experience we were hoping for.

What an amazing experience. Thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. Thanks to everyone for making our night so very special. Hope to visit again soon. 😍

Definitely the best restaurant in Belfast. You will have to give it a go 👌🙏

One of the best dining experiences I ever had. Every bite of food was glorious. I highly recommend. Simply fantastic.

Fantastic evening dining here. Staff were very friendly and helpful . The tasting menu was superb, each dish just leaving you wanting more !! Unique combinations and flavours with excellent local produce was heavenly. A definite must visit !!! I would highly recommend!!

The vegetarian tasting menu with paired wines was everything I’d hoped it would be. It was quite the experience!

The Food aesthetic good, as well as the taste. Moreover the services was just amazing, staff beyond friendly, cozy atmosphere, but for a fact what stood out for me was the Services. I didn’t let them know in advance that I don’t feel comfortable eating rabbit or red meat, and the stuff was okay and acted rapidly to get it changed for other dish of my taste. Which made me very happy. Well done.
