The Teal Monkey in Belfast

Great food and really friendly staff. Can't wait to go back.

Had such a wonderful experience here! All of the food was incredible and the service was so friendly (shoutout to Kieran at the bar along with our server who was very attentive). The dessert was especially good, 10/10 recommend!

Best experience ever and the food was great. Will visit again soon.😊

Regular customer of this place. Foods always excellent and the breakfasts are amazing. Staff couldn't do enough for you and great value for money aswell with the 2-3 course meals they offer. I got the pork chops and it was a very generous portion and cooked to perfection. Defo recommend to try!

Booked a work outing for 9 adults. Played Pool in Laverys and then headed to Teal Monkey for food. It was a great day out. We pre-ordered the food to help the chef via email and staff had all the info at hand on arrival. One person was a no show and it was no problem and no cost. Staff were excellent and deserved the 20% tip I made everyone give. Live music playing in corner of the entrance hall - sounded great. Atmosphere in restaurant was great - not too noisy. We set upstairs and when I'm booking again - which I will - I'll be asking for table upstairs - seems warmer and cosier. Last, but not least - Food was very good. I had the Beef and it was delicious. Think we've food are go to restaurant in Belfast.

We were here on Saturday night. Nicola the restaurant manager delivered an excellent service with a smile. The staff we dealt with were friendly and accommodating. The wine and cocktails were lovely. We got some starters to share. I recommend the Prawns Pil Pil and scallops. We had the mussels but I personally prefer them de-shelled in a sauce but they were still nice. The chargrilled Foccacia was lovely side to the mussels and Prawns Pil Pil. Our friends loved the Cod dish and the Pork Chop dish. Unfortunately, no photos as we were hungry and everything looked so good. The atmosphere was lovely, slightly dark setting with loads of dim lighting. They have different size of tables to suit couples up to groups celebrating occasions. They had live music on which was brilliant. I'm love good food, service and good atmosphere and this restaurant delivered. We will definitely be back. Which I don't say for most restaurants. It's a must try.

Liked the restaurant overall, my party and I found the service from the lady to be quite blunt and to the point. She would deliver things to the table such as menus and drinks with a heavy handed approach, dropping the items on the table and would say very little to us. We found there to be massive gaps between finishing a course and when our plates would get taken. I wonder if this person just had an off night as I don't think the rest of the restaurant was insanely busy, but again I might be a bit ignorant to what her other responsibilities were.

I had the surf and turf with seasonal greens and the tomato, feta and onion salad, followed by the coconut tart and custard. It was the best meal I have had for a long time. The interior was beautiful and the service was great. It was too loud for conversation, but we were next to a large party and it was Saturday night. Clearly a popular place. Live music was a nice touch.

Delicious seafood green curry here

Absolutely amazing place. Food was fantastic and the service was top class. The prawns were exceptional! Such lovely staff and the live music was unreal!!!!! Most certainly worth a visit. Loved everything about this place

Quite well managed, attentive and friendly staff.

Fabulous start to finish. A well balanced choice of dishes and drinks on the menu. The food tasted fantastic, the service was spot on, the atmosphere was just right and it was excellent value for money. If we were staying longer we would be dining again, but as it is this will have to wait for our next trip back. Thank you for a great evening!

Came in for dinner on a Wednesday night. Bit of an odd mix of food on the menu but seems to have something for everyone. I had the Thai red seafood curry and my partner a lentil dahl. Service was great and quick. I can't understand why the place was so quiet!

Great restaurant, we had breakfast which was brilliant, great value. Lovely vibe & staff. Would have gone back for the evening if we had the time.

We booked a weekend break in Belfast and after some google searching, decided to book an evening meal at the Teal Monkey Restaurant which was only a 10 minute walk from the Hotel. The menu was very wide ranging from pork, steak, seafood and tacos so something for everyone. We had the sweet chillie chicken starter, grilled pork chops and tacos which were excellent. Top marks for service. All the waiting staff were warm, welcoming and very friendly. Could not fault a thing. Would fully recommend. Well done!!

Excellent service. Lovely ambience. Beautiful food. We will definitely be back.

This place is absolutely amazing from the atmosphere to the service with amazing tasty food! Everything was perfect I highly recommend this is a must try!

Food here was delicious. We came for the set menu Sunday roast and at 2 courses for £20 this was the best value and tasting roast we’ve had in Belfast and we’ve had more than a few! Highly recommend a visit.

We went twice in two days for breakfast. On the Saturday it was quiet and the service was good. I had Eggs Benedict and my partner had an omelette. Both were very good. On the Sunday it was busier and the music was louder. There was one waitress who was very friendly and was working extremely hard, however she had a lot of tables to cover so the service was slow. There was an item on the menu that they couldn't do, however the chef did not tell the waitress this until 10 minutes after the order went in. I had the avocado on toast with poached eggs and my partner had smoked salmon and scrambled egg on toast. Again both were very good. Would definitely recommend!!

We ate here for breakfast. Good portions, looked great on the plate and tasted beautiful. Very well priced- you’d struggle to find similar quality in Belfast for the same price. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend

What an absolute gem! Came here based on a recommendation and was not disappointed! Nice relaxed venue and vibe, super friendly and welcoming staff. A varied menu with something for everyone. An ideal venue for a pre-theatre visit with really well priced and tasty menu. Absolutely would recommend and would come back

Really nice place with great food

Delightful. Kisses to the chef 💋

Had the best meal here...the food was delicious and so well presented... The staff are so down to earth n friendly... Was out first time dining here and it is a real hidden gem... Totally recommend going here...

Good live music, food was actually 10/10

Real monkey the writeess Caoimhe best service at the cocktail bottomless brunch ! Great food great ppl best place to go

Had an amazing bottomless brunch, Caoimhe was amazing and attentive to our every need! Would come here again just based on the service! The food was great, drinks were good, happy days!

Food was good, service very good. Atmophere nice. Music little bit too loud..

Excellent meal here. Calm atmosphere. Service was top notch. Will try and get back here for certain !

Thankyou to your fabulous staff. Had bottomless brunch on Sat 7th before we headed to 30+ disco at Limelight. Teal monkey was buzzing wen we arrived @ 2oclk. The place was packed , but that did not stop the fabulous attention from staff 👏👏. The best service we have had in a long time, food was amazing & flavoursome, drinks were flowing at a great speed. Will defo be back, best bottomless brunch we had in belfast. Price did not effect the quality r quantity. Give it a try.

Been here 3 times now for bottomless brunch and can't fault it. Really good value. Menu has been the same but I've had something different each time. Had Hake on Friday and it was delicious. Victoria our waitress was lovely and our wine was topped up when asked. I've recommended to so many people and will definitely be back.

Where to start.... Place cosy lovely decor..... Staff are very good.... Service excellent price unreal.... First visit all round lovely meal... Definitely worth a visit..... Food was outstanding...... Very relaxing atmosphere

Great meal. Great staff, couldn't have asked for more, Friendly people running a Great Restaurant

Enjoyed the Teal Monkey as a great venue for a 21st birthday party- very welcoming and great decor (minus one flickery lightbulb). Definitely would be back!! 💙🐒

Went for brunch before a friend's hen party. Two course's and unlimited wine, beer or prosecco for two hours for £30 or for an additional £10 you could upgrade to cocktail's, which of course I did. The staff were running a bit behind when we arrived so we had to wait for our table however, the staff made up for it by being very friendly and attentive and never letting our glasses empty. The time we missed was added on at the end. The food was very tasty with large portions and the only fault I had was that the music was far too loud. We couldn't hear each other talk and despite asking for it to be turned down several times it kept being turned back up again. I will do definitely try the place again though.

Lovely food and reasonably priced

This restaurant is amazing..The staff were unbelievable. The service was fantastic and the food was 😋 Can't wait to return..

A nice meal , good menu , very friendly and attentive staff

Just finished my food. Can't wait to leave a review this place. F rom the moment you step into The Teal Monkey, you're transported into a world of culinary excellence. The ambience is a perfect blend of elegance and warmth, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu is a masterful selection of dishes, each crafted with the finest ingredients and an incredible attention to detail. Whether you're a fan of classic dishes or adventurous new flavours, there's something here to tantalize every palate. The chef’s commitment to quality and innovation is evident in every bite. The teal Monjey is more than just a place to eat; it's a place to savour, to enjoy, and remember. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT

Excellent food and great staff. Give a prosecco on the house since it was a birthday dinner.

Amazing beef tacos and a BBQ chicken burger the size of our heads. Gorgeous food.

Kids eat free and the fantastic service and food. Value for money is not questionable.

Ensure online bookings are up to date

A varied selection of options for breakfast. Our food was top class.

Sat in Friday evening for a meal, so disappointed in the meal, just wasn't up to standard for example cream brulee wasn't cooked properly, should have had a hard crust but it was soggy, I could go on but I will generalise, I won't be back

Fantastic food and lovely staff, really attentive and so friendly. Our food was beautiful and such a nice setting for a meal , highly recommend and will be back !

Went for bottomless brunch. The service was brilliant, everyone very friendly and the food was lovely

Great service, friendly staff who went above and beyond during our time there. Kirsty was great and went above and beyond her role

Went to teal for bottomless brunch and it was brilliant, food was amazing and the cocktails were fab and the service was also very fast, will deffo be back 10/10

This place has a great vibe and lovely decor. The staff were all excellent. Warm, attentive and welcoming. The food was very tasty and the portions were very generous. The freshly made cocktails were also excellent.

Nicola, Danielle and Kirsty were amazing! The food was immaculate 10/10

We had a fantastic time at The Teal Monkey on Saturday past. The cocktails and food are both phenomenal. Two of us got mains and one of us got 2 starters that were to come out as a main. When the waitress realised the starters came out without the mains, she offered complimentary drinks which we were really appreciative of - service was great and staff were very friendly. Guy singing was great too, thanks guys we will be back :)

Good restaurant made a good date :) recommend steamed mussels, the Thai soup inside of it was nice and fresh. The spring roll is also good. All the portions are great.

Went for a girls day out, booked the bottomless brunch, service was fantastic, food was delicious, Caoimhe the waitress was awesome, very welcoming, Anthony makes the best cocktails, don't hesitate get booked in

Fantastic day here yesterday for the bottomless brunch, the decor is quirky, gorgeous, food was superb, staff very friendly and attentive especially Caoimhe she was great such a lovely girl. Anthony the bar manager also very nice his French Martinis are 5 star. Will be back. X

What a gem to find! We came for dinner on a Friday night, and was so good that we returned Sunday evening. Really unique interior, friendly staff, and amazing food!

Paid £40 for bottomless brunch. Service was awful apart from the blonde waitress who actually tried. Brown haired pony tail waitress was very rude to our friend unnecessarily for asking for a drink during bottomless brunch. We all lost count of how many times we asked for a drink and it never arrived, and got told we couldn’t pre order despite the drinks taking ages to come. My friend ordered soup which resembled chicken in milk. Focaccia bread was sourdough. Seabass meal came without half the meal, and no substitutes offered. Don’t go if you are expecting a good time

Some of the staff should be sacked. Literally one of the worst meals/staff experience I have ever had. The bottomless drinks take 40 minutes to come and every time you order another the staff argue with you. One staff member in particular a young woman with jet black hair in a pony tail physically argued with our party numerous times and was heard making rude remarks about our table while at the pass. Not worth the money, the food and staff are absolutely shocking do not go.

Fantastic experience start to finish. I saw the teal monkeys bottomless brunch on tiktok and just had to try it. We arrived and were sat up stairs. I would note that the stairs are quite steep. We were seated in the corner booth which was amazing as it provided enough privacy from the rest of the dinners. Food was impeccable. We started with the salt and chilli chicken. The flavours where amazing. My only disappointment with this course was it did come out luke warm, and I do struggle with colder dishes, so I had to eat this one extreme fast but taste could not be faulted. We moved onto mains and each member of the group got something different. We had the burger, which was beautiful. The steak sandwich, which comes medium, was seasoned to perfection and the seabass. I would say the seabass was an extremely small portion with no side, but again flavour was impeccable. Cocktails were all made to order, which is fantastic for a bottomless brunch. And a great selection was provided. Staff where great, nothing was too much trouble and they were attentive. I was worried with how busy it was that it would be impossible to get a drink. This was not the case. The shining star however was Caomihe. She is definitely a credit to the restaurant. She has such a friendly bubbly approach and made the experience even more top notch. Overall, fantastic experience for fantastic value. I have recommended to others already and I will be back.

We booked a bottomless lunch for my friend's retirement.Food was excellent,we had very attentive staff.Great value wine processor or upgrade to cocktails.Lovely atmosphere.Definately worth a return visit .

Gorgeous restaurant amazing food and lovely staff. I will definitely be back

Booked the Teal Monkey for my daughters 21st birthday. The atmosphere was amazing and the staff were so friendly. The cocktails were the best we have had and the food was fantastic. Thank you to all the staff for making this an unforgettable experience. I will definitely be back.

Disappointing Cocktail Experience, We recently visited this restaurant and had a mixed experience. The food was satisfactory, though a bit carb-heavy and lacking in meat. However, the cocktail service left much to be desired. We ordered two cocktails priced at £10.50 each. My partner's arrived much smaller (the Teal Monkey) than expected, while mine, a Long Island, was larger. Oddly, neither had a straw, which led to me accidentally spilling my drink all over the table and floor before I could even taste it. The waitress promptly cleaned up and offered a replacement, which I accepted. My partner ordered the same to make up for my clumsiness. The replacement cocktails arrived, this time with a straw in mine. However, when the bill came, we were charged for all four cocktails (£42), even though I didn't get to enjoy the first one. We paid without noticing the extra charge. I believe the waitress should have informed us that the replacement would be charged for, especially since the spill was partly due to the lack of a straw. It seems unfair to pay for a drink I couldn't enjoy due to the restaurant's presentation. The inconsistency in the cocktails' presentation and size was also disappointing. While accidents happen, I feel the restaurant could have handled this better by either offering the replacement on the house or communicating the extra charge upfront. The food was adequate, but the cocktail experience left a sour taste. More attention to detail and better customer service would have greatly improved our visit. I emailed looking for a refund on cocktail but no response so far. Was noisy with kids running around screaning also which was off putting.

Lovely place. Went for my daughters 40th birthday on a Sunday, the food was amazing, the service was perfect and the whole experience was 100%

First time at the restaurant,food was fantastic.our waitress was excellent.and to finish we ordered 2 beautiful cocktails,we where then informed it was 2 for one.brilliant.would definitely recommend.and we will be back again soon.

Was recommended as a hidden gem on Tiktok. Can certainly see why. Have walked past this place countless times and never thought to try. Now it could become a regular spot for me. Food, service, vibe, value, all amazing. Can't fault anything at all.

Wonderful restaurant. The atmosphere was very cool. The food was delicious. The Buffalo cauliflower and pork belly as appetizers were grand. We had the steak and seabass for our main course, tender and wonderful flavor. The salted carmel brownie for dessert was a sweet way to end our meals. Nicola's service was helpful and attentive.

Great atmosphere, better food and the best service! My parents and I had steak and fish with the buffalo cauliflower and pork belly for starters. Everything tasted amazing and Nicola took great care of us!

This place was so very nice, 2 floors and an outdoor space. There was a really good live musician when I came. I sat on the second floor and the decorations were so fun. The service was impeccable, very attentive folks. The chicken wings were REALLY Delicious. The passion fruit martini also great, I love that they put the prosecco on the side for that. The main chicken dish was well made, but a little drier than I hoped. There was a fried Mac and cheese fritter that came with it, that was delicious. The dessert was okay, not great, but not bad.

Excellent find. Good menu. Friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere. A table of twenty were in at the same time but we were looked after and our food delivered in a good time .

Had a great time in the restaurant. They created a dish out of the menu because of my friends dietary requirements and everything was delightful during the time we spent there.

Mholfainn go mór an 'Teal Monky'. Chuaigh muid ann' i ndiadh scannán sa QFT nuair a oscail sé a leath i ndiaidh a cúig. Siúl suaimhneach 10 bomaite atá sé ón phictiúrlann agus Halla na Cathrach. Tá an dearadh taobh istigh úr agus comhaimseartha le duilleoga bananaí ar na bhalla. Riar beirt ón fhoireann muid. bhí siad an-chardúil agus thug siad comhairle íontach dúinn faoin rogha mhaith an bhiachláir agus an fíon. Bhí léiriú an bhia den chéad scoth agus bhí achan rud an-bhlasta. toisc go ní ithim aon rud milis, tairgeadh mé cáis ghorm - thainig sé le sú craobh , sméar dubh agus brioscaí beaga- léiriú íontach arís.

Lovely friendly staff. Food absolutely beautiful 👍😘

Had a really great experience here. Very attentive and friendly staff. Fast service. Steak was absolutely beautiful, cooked to perfection. The cocktail tree was an absolute bargain, that’s what made us want to book. We will definitely be back.

Best meal I have had in Belfast for a long time. The food was amazing as was the cocktail tree. Great price and great service - can’t recommend it enough!

We had a wonderful dinner here. The food and drinks were great and were presented well. Service was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend and would gladly return. Thanks for a great meal!

Can’t fault this place at all, the food was top notch along with the cocktails, we got a cocktail tree with 12 cocktails at an amazing price! The service was one of the best I’v experienced at a restaurant! Well done 👏🏼

We had been given a voucher to spend here and this restuarant prepares lovely food, (albeit some of the dishes are on the pricey side especially if side items are not included in the price) However we had the Sunday roast which was very nice..... until I asked for some mustard! Nothing wrong until I checked the bill to see that £1.50 had been added for what was a small thimblefull of mustard. I mean.. really guys.. I know you gave to make ends meet but I'd regard mustard in the same way as salt, pepper, vinegar and sauce! You might argue your point about paying for what you get, but set that against losing a repeat customer which is what has happened here. So enjoy yourself at the Teal Monkey.... just don't ask for mustard!!!

We arrived at 4.30pm for our family Sunday dinner. For the first time booked table through First table. Had soup and chicken wings for starter which were just ok. Waited around 30 min between empty plates were lifted and main arrived. Ordered beef Sunday roast , chilli chicken and I got myself beef burger with crispy pork belly. And omg when my burger arrived pork belly looked absolutely disgusting (I have picture attached) ate half of burger and pointed it to waiter/barmen who I think helped with table services as 2 waiters were completely lost and there was no organisation in table service what so ever. Never heard anything back from chef as why he would serve burger like this. Anyways we ordered desserts and again waited about 30 min for plates to be lifted and deserts to come. Barmen offered drink on house for waiting so long that was nice of him. Inside of restaurant is absolutely lovely but food and waiting staff has to be sorted

An amazing restaurant and would highly recommend. My husband and I were welcomed warmly, the food was delicious, service professional and delivered with a personal touch. Would definitely return when we visit Belfast again.

Highly recommend this place. Service was great and very friendly. Food was all delicious we got the wings and pork belly to start both delicious. I got the seabass for main and was yummy. Thanks for a lovely evening.

What a little gem of a place! The food was outstanding, the staff really made it though. So attentive and friendly, the blonde (manager possibly) couldn't have done more. Beautiful and clean, can't wait to come back.

One of the best meals we had in Belfast in a long time, the food was exceptional and the staff were so so lovely, great atmosphere, so cosy and the staff checked we were happy and warm and well fed, will definitely be back 🌟

Staff are lovely Food is amazing Deff have the cocktails

Hidden gem, best kids meals I've ever seen, made fresh and kids eat free including brownies and ice cream, well priced for adults and really don't know why place is not busier.. Sunday dinner delicious

Once again The Teal Monkey delivers. Great food, lovely ambience. Live music on the Friday night we were there. Staff very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend for a good night out.

Absolutely beautiful meal here. The gravy was just delicious. Was nicer than Sunday dinner I had at stock

Absolutely amazing food and the cocktails were u real… would definitely recommend The Teal Monkey..

The Teal Monkey ……Absolutely amazing food and the cocktails were u real… would definitely recommend The Teal Monkey..

Lovely food and service. It's a very nicely decorated space. The management need to change their payment system so the staff can receive tips via credit/debit card. We went to a nearby ATM to get cash for the tip. But I imagine others would just not leave one as they had no cash on them

Fantastic experience. Steaks very good quality and cooked to perfection. Kids also ate free which was a wonderful surprise. Staff helpful and friendly, will definitely be back.

Went there while visiting family in Belfast for Christmas and what a lovely place it is to go for a cracking meal, food was 5 star and the staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us, even did the baby a free little bowl of dinner for us, definitely will be going again on our next visit to see our son 👍

A hidden, small gem of a place in south central Belfast. The interior is designed to be warm and inviting, whether you eat upstairs or on the main floor. The staff are friendly, professional and attentive. My whiskey sour was among the best I’ve ever had. My dinner of butternut and sage risotto with Tuscan fries was excellent, both in terms of taste and proportions. Definitely a must visit if you’re looking for an excellent dinner while in Belfast!

The food and drinks here are amazing. It's a great venue and every time I've been service has been amazing. They cater for non alcoholic cocktails too which are absolutely delicious!

Great wee place for a meal. Food was fabulous and the ambience very nice. Booked for a second time on the first visit, did not disappoint again. Will definitely be back.

Food was amazing, staff were lovely, very attentive and so friendly. Can't wait to go back

An extremely warm welcome was given to a very nice restaurant. Menu provided plenty of options. Pork belly to start was tasty, as was the slow cooked short rib on Mac and cheese. Overall an excellent dining experience, would highly recommend, great food and excellent attentive service

Food was beautiful and service was top notch !! Highly recommended.

Booking of 2, on a Wednesday night. I understand that not many people eat out during the weeknights , however me and my friend were disappointed with this place. After seeing great reviews on tiktok we were super excited to try it out. We both got salt and chilli chicken as a main. It costed £16, not including side and this price was really quite outrageous for what we got. 7 pieces of mini crispy fried chicken strip things, on a piece of flatbread. The only sauce was a mayo with what I presume was some paprika flavouring in it to make the sauce orange. Taste wise, the chicken dish just wasn’t hitting the spot, and the food didn’t come out that piping hot freshness that we all like when we treat ourselves to a meal. It really should have been fresh because there was only a few other people in the restaurant. My side was sweet potato fries and although I was given a generous enough portion some of the chips were quite hard :/. Our waitress was a lovely girl, could not fault her whatsoever. Just a mediocre meal and disappointing experience to sum it up !

The Teal Monkey was recommended to us by the taxi driver who picked us up from the airport. We are so glad he did. Fabulous little place, friendly with a chilled out vibe and fantastic food. The short rib mac and cheese was delicious.
