The Pantry in Belfast

Staff fastidious about keeping surfaces clean and making sure tables aren’t left with dirty plates, cups etc. it’s definitely service with a smile too. After a giant sausage roll and beetroot salad my husband went back for dessert. He thought the whole thing was delicious. I had a cobb salad and cappuccino. Yum from me too. At one point the chef came out to replenish the dishes, he made sure everything was clean and wiped down from any spills or drops. His attention to detail was noticed. He also wouldn’t have looked out of place lifting weights in a John Wick movie!

Permanently closed now there is Husk café and it is much better.

The food was poor. Looked at lamb stew which was more potato stew with a hint of lamb. Asked what else they had. Was offered a curry and I asked for chicken curry. When it arrived like a dried chicken striped in batter, dipped in curry sauce. £15 making it an expensive chicken stripper. While I was there, watched as they refunded a number of people for the poor food quality. Avoid if possible and look at other venues away from the centre.

My fish and chips were just ok. Nothing special but there are plenty of options to choose from. I would return and try something else.

We visited the pantry after the titanic exhibition. The food was delicious staff were really helpful. My husband enjoyed the Irish stew and soda bread best thing he ate all weekend

Absolutamente delicioso. Muy recomendable. Ambiente encantador y comida muy sabrosa? . Fuimos a almorzar el domingo, tuvimos una comida estupenda, un tiempo encantador, muy relajado y tranquilo.

The Pantry is a quiet place to relax and have a decent coffee and a roll or brownies. The coffee was very hot and good.

We stopped here on our way to do a hop on hop off tour, it was cheap, quick and tasty! I had the oatmeal, which came with lots of optional toppings, and my husband had avocado toast with poached eggs. Also good coffees, and room for our toddler to zoom around!

Nice cafe in the Arts Centre. Good menu for the area. Expect to find clever, artistic, and socially conscious people here. Some very nice art works on the walls.

Dont come here if your hungry .bacon not v good.

ich war begeistert von diesem kleinen liebvollem Kaffee. Hatte jedesmal einen hervorragenden Cappuccino und ein salted caramel chocolate bar - wunderbar. die sitzgelegenheiten sind sehr ansprechend und es gibt auch ein Bücherregal, falls man selbst nichts mit hat oder alleine hier ist.

Staff were kind of rude and forgot things. The food was just ok, nothing I would come back for. Except for the vegan cookie sandwiches by Crumbs vegan bakery... those are incredible, and by far the best thing this cafe stocks!!

Very convenient location for a coffee and chat. Coffee was excellent and surroundings were pleasant and peaceful.

Lovely coffee and tasty treats. Found this place by accident! Great menu, coffee and teas in a lovely old building. So happy to find it!

I attend classes/ events in Crescent Art Centre and also work nearby, hence often grab a coffee or lunch in their Pantry Cafe. I've always liked the bright, airy, open-plan, relaxed ambience within Pantry and it's modern yet warm furnishings and interior - all raw wood and fresh white paint which gives a clean, modern and cosy atmosphere. Plus free wifi and pleasant staff are always a bonus. However, there seem to have been a few changes recently, most notably a marked increase in vegan offerings which is fantastic to see. There's always a vegan soup, stew and sandwich on offer. Plus vegan tray bakes, buns and light breakfast options. I really enjoy their rich earthy mushroom, butterbean & potato stew, broccoli & almond soup and roast veg & hummus sandwiches. Quick and pleasant for a delicious light lunch.

The high ceilings and big windows give a lovely light - set in the crescent arts center you can get a bite to eat and take in a bit of culture! I had a lovely morroccan stew and my friend had carrot and fennel soup £8 for the two of us and back to work in two ticks ... (well we did squeeze in coffee and a bun too !)

Bright, airy, open-plan cafe located within Crescent Arts Centre. Lovely relaxed feel with modern yet warm furnishings and interior i.e. raw wood and fresh white paint which gives a clean, modern and cosy atmosphere. Free wifi, pleasant staff and serves delicious loose-leaf tea, coffee, sandwiches and tray bakes. Delightful addition to the fabulous Crescent Arts Centre.

Food was great with a twist on traditional and local dishes, the seafood boxty was delicious and I finished with a very local and varied cheeseboard washed down with a good red, There were plenty of water jugs on the table too! The feel of the place is welcoming and I enjoyed the surroundings, it is nicely decorated and the seating was comfortable. There was a nice buzz about the place and I really enjoyed the live music. The music enhanced the whole experience from a good meal to a great night out. The staff were professional and friendly. A really good place to spend an evening with friends and family.

Called in last week with some friends around 10.45am for coffee/brunch. The décor and feel of the place is really nice and the menu and pastry selection looked quite promising. The single member of staff was behind the counter on her phone and ignored us for several minutes. When she did serve us, we were informed that none of the breakfast food was available, nor did they have any rolls to make up other sandwiches. Really?! What we did order was fine, although really very overpriced for what it was. The service was very slow (5 mins to make one hot chocolate!) and the customer service was really very poor. No smile or rapport with customers at all. It was like our presence was a total inconvenience to her. Highly doubt we would go back!

Nice atmosphere and staff but let down by the food. The tray bakes and croissants were hard and stale. They advertise a good selection on their all day breakfast menu but I was told on two occasions they couldn't provide any of the dishes advertised. Generally a disappointing experience, there are plenty of nicer well stocked eateries close by to choose instead.

Have visited this place a few times over the last few weeks and I would recommend it for coffee and and a snack. The atmosphere is quite relaxed and the seating is comfortable. You dont have to be doing something in the Crescent Arts to visit it either.
