The Teal Monkey in Belfast

Fantastic boozy brunch yesterday ! Party of 10 and we were really well looked after - staff were fab! Food was so tasty and we all thoroughly enjoyed it! Cocktails were 10/10 - especially the bramble . The quality of food and drinks was really top notch and more than surpassed our expectations - and such good value too! Def be back !

Lovely atmosphere, staff very attentive and the food, WOW, absolutely first class. Huge portions, beautifully presented. A true gem of Belfast.

This was a great last minute find. The food was delicious and the cocktails were really good. The staff were friendly and attentive.

They have a separate vegetarian and vegan menu. Although it is not clear which are vegan. Service was exceptional though and there is a lovely atmosphere

Very good food, beautifully presented. The atmosphere was very pleasant with thoughtful decor. We finished with a wonderful Irish coffee.

¡Excelente comida! Los sabores eran increíbles para los entrantes, la red y los desiertos! El personal era encantador y el servicio era genial. Ambiente encantador dentro del restaurante. Disfrutamos mucho de nuestra primera y definitivamente no nuestra última visita!

A quirky lovely little restaurant on Dublin Road. Great food. Interesting decor. Something different. Very helpful friendly staff. Brilliant Sunday roast dinner but book or you may be disappointed.

First time trying it and the food was outta a Michelin star restaurant no joke would reccomend it to anyone and price is very reasonable and the water Kieran was very helpful and the chef Chris knocked up some of the best grub I have had in long time... Thanks for making it a too experience will defo be returning soon hopefully with my kids

Lovely spot, good atmosphere & cosy. We went for bottomless brunch on Saturday afternoon. The food was excellent and arrived very quickly. Cocktails came very fast also and we were offered another as soon as we had finished. Staff were very attentive! Highly recommend a visit!

Esta fue mi segunda visita y casi quiero mantener esta pequeña joya en secreto. Las ofertas de brunch y pre teatro son fantástica relación calidad-precio y la comida increíble. Tenía la carne y estaba tan tierna. El restaurante está muy bien decorado (esp arriba) y el personal es muy atento. ¡Sigue trabajando!

Steak was overdone. Food in general was not as good as we had hoped, would not recommend

We went for the Thursday Steak night special. A large sirloin grilled over flame with mushroom and crispy onions and a side and glass of wine all for £20. The steak was tender and full of flavour. The sides of champ and grilled peppers were an excellent accompaniment. Great food at a bargain price👍🏻

The staff is rude.brought a coke bottle and they dumped without permission even we are at there sight

We had such a lovely night. Food was gorgeous and the live music was a bonus. We had the lovliest waitress, Sarah. She went above and beyond.

Our waiter was very nice. The manager was also very nice. Food was awesome. Good live music as well

Adam and Kieran were great! Amazing service and great food plus the French martini was class :)

We were at the teal monkey on mother's day and the food was excellent, its definitely worth a visit, plus very reasonable but the staff definitely made my 1st visit a 10/10. They were extremely attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Adam was our waiter and honestly he made us laugh from we arrived, so many thanks Adam you're a wee gem we will definitely be back xx OUTSTANDING

Lovely venue. Very friendly staff and the food was delicious!

Meal was fantastic. Staff very attentive and atmosphere great. Will definitely visit again

Food is outstanding, well worth the money, booked it for my birthday. Staff are great and go out of their way.

Food was outstanding, 1st time here. Booking my partners birthday dinner here, well worth the money and service was fantastic

Had the Sunday lunch special delicious food great service and fantastic value for money will definitely be back thank you

While passing through Belfast, we were the only ones having lunch right at opening time (even a little before the official opening time). We were welcomed with a smile and professionalism. The place seems ideal for spending a pleasant evening. Thank you.

Great food, friendly staff and a sensible price. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening at The Teal Monkey. Charcuterie was generous and the seafood red Thai curry was excellent. There was more than we could eat with the tacos. All hot except the Guinness!

Another fantastic little Belfast Hidden gem. Great chilled atmosphere with lovely staff and great food. Highly recommend

I have arrived at restaurant for my birthday lunch and from everything turned into feast Cocktails: OMG absolutely amazing and ask for advice you won’t regret it Food : perfect cooked very well presented and absolutely delicious Atmosphere and Service like never other restaurant that I ever been before Ciaran goes above and beyond to make this experience memorable and actually is memorable in all the way , can’t wait to come back

Excellent choices on menu, lovely decor, food was superb and extremely good value. Can't fault this restaurant, and I highly recommend it.

Thank you to James! The food, atmosphere and service was amazing. We were traveling from outside of the area and stumbled into this amazing restaurant. James helped to accommodate us without a reservation, gave us local advice and provided us with the best service possible. The steak was amazing and the cocktails were carefully crafted.

Delicious! The pre theatre menu of 2 courses and a drink was excellent value. The chilli chicken was very tasty and the beef was so tender! Very cute restaurant- loved the atmosphere. Staff were very attentive and friendly.

Great food and cocktails, lovely space for a date.

We stumbled into The Teal Monkey on a Sunday afternoon and discovered their Sunday roast dinners. They have 2 courses for 20 pounds and 3 courses for 24. Not only was the food delicious, they had great vegan options! It was the best meal we had in Belfast during the week we were here.

Great service, beautiful food and a lovely atmosphere. Very clean also would highly recommend

Amazing experience, our server Kirsty was fabulous, couldn’t have asked for a better server

Great food and brilliant service

Called tonight and the hostess was very accommodating for a table for two. We were welcomed promptly upon entering the premises. The music was very fitting and the atmosphere was lovely along with the art and decor of the place. We were served quickly as it was a Monday night so probably busier than the weekends although more people kept arriving and it was nice and lively without being too loud. Prawn pil pil for starters was exquisite with good portion sizes. I went for the red Seafood curry and rice which was very tasty - just the peas were okay. My mother went for the Dahl which was fragrant and they were able to swap green beans for tempura broccoli which she was pleased about. The portion sizes were great and very filling. I would definitely go back and I would recommend to others. The hostess was superb. Thanks for a lovely evening!

Delicious food, great decor and friendly service. What a lovely find in Belfast!

I can't praise the food enough at the Teal Monkey, it was amazing. Well cooked well presented and excellent service. We stayed in Belfast 3 nights, and ate at the Teal Monkey twice. Superb.

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. Edit: back for a birthday dinner and the food was outstanding. Best steak we've ever had in our lives. 100% better than top blade steaks. Lovely new staff member who made the night with great service. Absolute favourite place, cannot recommend enough. Nicola is the bread and butter to the place, excellent customer service.

Absolutely lovely little place. Found this place on Google took a chance and was greatly impressed. Nearly gave a 5 star review but two minor issues. It felt like the mixed up the cooking on the two steaks ordered. I ordered a sirloin medium rare and my son ordered the rib eye as medium. When delivered mine looked medium and his medium rare. However the tasted great👍 Secondly ordered the creme brule and the 'crusty was slightly more chewy than crunchy happy to admit that I am being very picky😁

Sat 1st February 25th had 40th birthday celebrations here for our friend.(party of 16) Start to finish was fabulous night with great food / drinks & the best of service & staff. All of us so enjoyed it

My wife and I just had our meal here and we didn't know what to expect as we've never heard of it. We were so pleasantly surprised. Food was delicious, every staff member was pleasant and the price was excellent. Will definitely be back.

Superd meal had rib eye steak was cooked to perfection and manager nicola was amazing will definitely be there again very reasonably price

Had a great night here with a few friends. The food was great and the manager and bartender were both super friendly. They also gave us a great deal on some margaritas. Would highly recommend.

We had such a lovely experience here, fantastic food and lots of thought and care put into the cocktails, lovely manager and bartender thanks so much guys! Xo

I went with my partner and some friends for dinner and drinks and we were very impressed. We each had a delicious main and dessert, nothing to complain about, the food was fantastic! As for the cocktails, we had one with the meal and stayed for a margarita each after. Kieran and the server/manager (I didn't get her name) were both exceptional. Very welcoming and couldn't have done more for us. We will all be back for sure!

First time visiting, lovely meal and great service. Staff are very welcoming and always going above and beyond to create the best customer experience possible. Finished the night off with some amazing Margaritas, cheers Kieran!

I need to tell you about this amazing find. After finding places to eat on TikTok my 9 girl friends and myself decided on here and we we’re so glad we chose this restaurant. Decor amazing, staff amazing and every dish wee tried was out of this world, these guys should hold an award for their service. If you are going to Belfast this restaurant is a must visit. Thank you again for your service we will definitely be back one day. Sorry my pictures do not do this food justice my photography is not a strong point :-)

Best cocktails we had in Belfast and great value. Staff were very friendly and attentive! Update: Left the above review on behalf of my mam and dad, came here on their recommendation and had a great meal thanks to Kirsty and the manager. The deal was unbelievable, £20 for 2 steaks, sides, sauce and all the trimmings, highly recommend!

Work Christmas Dinner, excellent food all round

My partner and I recently visited The Teal Monkey in Belfast with high expectations, but unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. We felt uncomfortable and ended up leaving after just 30 minutes. Upon sitting down, the waiter handed us a menu and walked away. Within five minutes, she returned with a bad attitude, asking "what do you want?" without any pleasantries or even offering us a drink. I understand that everyone can have off days, as I work with the public myself, but the atmosphere among the staff was dreadful. It’s a pity, as this was our first visit and we had really looked forward to it based on the numerous good reviews. While the food was good, the unwelcoming vibe ultimately made us want to leave.

I visited The Teal Monkey for a Christmas dinner, and while there were some positives, the experience left much to be desired. The Chicken Supreme main course was exceptional—delicious, with generous portions, and perfectly cooked. However, the rest of the meal fell short. Despite repeatedly confirming with staff that the spring rolls starter was vegetarian, I found pieces of meat inside. Whether it was regular meat or a vegan alternative, this misinformation was unacceptable and would have influenced my choice. The Christmas pudding dessert was decent but disappointingly small in portion size. Adding to the frustration, our bottled drinks took far too long to arrive, despite requiring no preparation. While the main course shone, the lack of accuracy in dietary information and slow service dampened the overall experience.

Our Christmas party of 8 was sat by the entrance that only had a curtain to keep out the draft from people coming in. We were not comfortable but carried on as the place was fully booked. A double door foyer would solve this issue and improve customer satisfaction.

Amazing place amazing staff very friendly Lovely atmosphere Food was very good Massive portions 3 of us shared a dessert it was huge. Must try if your in Belfast

The food was really nice, the service was disappointing. When I ordered, the server abruptly told me, “We don’t have that,” which was a bit blunt and cold. I felt like it would have been better if we had been told at the start that certain mains weren’t available but they did do this with desserts which was appreciated. Once we finished eating, we really needed to get the bill, pay and leave, no one came over to check if we needed anything else. There were no staff in sight for a while and the ones who did pass us ignored us. We tried to get the attention of several servers who were standing by the till for about 15 minutes, making direct eye contact with several of them, but they still didn’t come over. This was particularly frustrating because the restaurant wasn’t very busy at all, there were only a few tables occupied, and most had already finished eating. In the end, we decided to get up, go over to the till, and wait so we could pay asap as we really needed to leave. Even then, several staff walked past us without acknowledging us. Finally, a waiter came over and brought us the bill. Thankfully, there was no service charge applied. The food was great, but the poor service, let it down. The staff could really benefit from better training to improve the overall experience. I would still consider going back though as I enjoyed the food and restaurant itself.

First time - will definitely be back. Very nice place with great menu - difficult to choose. Had lovely chili/chicken starter followed by a really great burger Party of four - all very happy.

Loved it - party of four a couple of days ago. Everyone rated highly. I had the burger - excellent. Also thought great value,

Staying over the bridge by botanic we came in for dinner on a Saturday night unsure what cuisine we wanted. Teal Monkey offered a brilliant selection of food and drink making a great start to a Saturday night. When we first went in, we had live music which sadly ended really quickly but the playlist after was fab. The portions are highly generous helping the wife devour her cider and bacon mussels starter whilst my salt and chilli chicken was very tasty.The mains of a special surf and turf just missed the medium rare mark for me but made up with the tasty fresh prawns. The wife’s pulled beef tacos were large and very tasty. Whilst the servers were really charming sadly, it took a while to get their attention at times which missed a 5 for me. Perhaps a dedicated server for that area would be better as we had service from 4 different members of the team.

The staff was very friendly, and the food was amazing. The atmosphere was great in it. We were able to keep our table all night, which was great they had a dj on later that evening.

Great venue for food & great service

Was in for lunch today first time in Restaurant. Everything was amazing from we walked in until we left. Will definitely be back . Food amazing.

Arrived there at 5.25 p.m. for a 5.30 p.m. reservation. Our Table wasn't ready as staff were clearing up after a Christmas Party booking. We were seated up at the bar area until a table was ready. No-one asked if we wanted to see the menu or have something to drink while waiting. After 15 minutes we were seated. It was a struggle to get someone to take our order. The staff were apologetic but that's not good enough. Eventually, our order was taken 20 minutes after being seated. Our wine glasses were brought to the table, no wine! That came after we asked the barman for bring it down to the table. 45 minutes after ordering, we were still waiting for our starters to arrive. Another couple who were seated beside us 30 minutes after us received their starter before us. We left the restaurant very very unimpressed. The staff and the manager were not on their game. Avoid when busy!! Would not recommend.

My 1st time here my friend and I decided to have our 1st Christmas Dinner catch up.Greeted by a very helpful young girl gave us menu we opted for the 3courses £30 the food was beautiful roasting hot tasty and plentyful..The creme burley was the ticket.The big down side was it was absolutely BALTIC in the resturant and I'm never a cold person.So they would need to look at this as it's very off putting..

Expensive and you have to wait A LOT to be attended. Music too loud and waiters really bad organised.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Delicious seafood green curry here

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.

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

Really nice place with great food

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

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...

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

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

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

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.

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!! 💙🐒

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
