The windmill in Belfast

Great little restaurant and now they are serving alcohol, what more could you ask for ? Beautiful decor, Excellent staff best fry in Ireland!

This business has been made aware of foreign nationals who financially exploiting vunerable people around Belfast in their cafe and surrounding areas. However they continue to allow these people access to their facilities.

Mi hermana y yo nos perdimos en Belfast después de visitar el museo del Titanic. Me moría de hambre y la convencí de que se detuviera en este restaurante, ya que parecía ser un restaurante local. Tuve el pescado y patatas fritas - - una enorme porción - - pero era tan bueno. Absolutamente el mejor que he comido y he viajado bastante por Inglaterra. Este viaje fue el verano pasado y debido a la pandemia no puedo viajar en este momento. Con frecuencia recuerdo la deliciosa comida en The Windmill y espero que estén sobreviviendo al impacto económico de esta pandemia porque planeo REGRESAR nuevamente. !

Conseguir una fritura estaba bien, pero no te dieron la mitad de precio ¿por qué? No volveré muy querido, siempre les he dado a mi cliente muy decepcionado

Haga los mejores alevines de Ulster que pueda obtener, ya sea grande o pequeño, otra comida es agradable y también puede sentarse afuera para comer

I recently had lunch in the Windmill with a work colleauge and I have to say it was very disappointing. I ordered a BBQ burger and pineapple with chips priced at £6.70. to be honest what I was served with was a cheap 30p cremeted burger, served with a dried out bit of pineapple a sause that tasted of nothing, chips and rather limp salad. My colleauge ordered fish and chips, the fish looked like it was pre cooked and then heated in a microwave. Overall the meal was very disappointing, and as for the staff they took no interest in us or our meal. I know this is not an expensive cafe in the centre of Belfast, but they are clearly trying to pull in the tourists along with locals. They could do a lot better both in the quality of the food and their service.

Lovely fresh food cooked to perfection. Veggie breakfast to die for only £5.50. Build up an appetite before you go, you'll need it to cope with the very healthy portions.

Fuimos a desayunar aquí. El personal acaba de tirar los cubiertos sobre la mesa, luego al final tuvo que consultar la factura debido a lo caro que era para lo que habíamos pedido, esto no fue un problema, pero la mujer de pelo negro que asumo puede ser un gerente Cuando nos explicó el proyecto de ley, en un momento bastante agresivo dijo "¿cuál es el problema? "No deberías llamar a un cliente para preguntar algo y ser grosero. no volverá, demasiado caro para la comida promedio. . . ¿2 salchichas, papas fritas y tocino, 2 habas y papas, una lata de coca cola y agua para alrededor de 18? . . . mejores lugares para comer cerca con un personal mejor.

Mi hija y yo entramos aquí con lo que sabíamos cuando llegamos hasta que la camarera señaló las ofertas de comida, así que conseguimos una ganga a las 6. 00 salchicha tocino chips de huevo té pan y mantequilla, pero cuando comía comida, una niña más joven salió de la parte de atrás y estaba masticando chicle, lo que me pareció bastante desagradable cuando paró sus uñas, luego vi a un tipo que se las arreglaba. su mano en la parte de atrás de su nariz, lo siento pero eso me debe de volver

As clueless tourists, my sister and I walked all over Belfast to get to the Titanic museum. Afterwards I insisted on stopping somewhere to eat and stumbled on the Windmill. I got fish and chips with peas ..absolutely the best fish I've ever had! The peas were pretty good, too. After eating the giant piece of fish I really had no room for the chips however. Serendipity!

Great big fry for not much money. I found the staff smiley and friendly and whilst the place was busy they never seemed stressed. It was a very busy Friday morning. Additional seats upstairs if main restaurant is busy.

Extremely rude staff, slow service and delivered food at different times, this was after a recommendation...

Disfrutamos de un delicioso desayuno aquí por sólo 4. 50. Mi hija tenía un panini, que también era bueno. Ordenó papitas con que no sabía que venía con papas fritas en el costado, así que la camarera le podría haber dicho esto. Muy buen desayuno en general, sin embargo, recién cocinado y servido rápidamente.

Perfect if you appreciate a caff. Friendly, clean, lots of tables. Prices are right. Sit and watch the people go by and listen to the accents!

My 9 year old daughter and I went here yesterday. The food was lovely, the waitress was so kind to my daughter but her boss at the till yesterday was a complete bully to the lovely kind waitress. I could never go back to somewhere like this where staff are treated to aggressively. The waitress was picked on and shouted at for no reason. I hope the lovely waitress gets a new job as she deserves better as she is super efficient and has amazing customer services skills. I am an honest reviewer and I am giving service 5 stars for service but only due to the lovely waitress who served us.

Sono andata in questo locale dopo essere stata consigliata dalle persone del posto: chiedevo un locale non turistico, dove poter spendere il giusto per assaggiare una vera full irish breakfast. Sono stata subito colpita dal menù e dai vari piatti elencati per "grandezza". Da una S ad una XXL. Per poco meno di 9 sterline ti viene servito un piatto che da soli non è possibile riuscire a finire... inutile dire che l'abitudine italiana di pranzare tra le 12 e le 14, dopo questa colazione, si perde in fretta!

Terrible service, terrible food another disappointment for Belfast only good thing this restaurant could do is close

Basic café although it calls itself a restaurant. If you are looking for a good breakfast at reasonable price then go here. Staff were efficient and friendly - we had no complaints

Ordered fish and chips, fish was awful,kind you buy pre battered at a cheap supermarket,tasteless everything out of boxes also bottles and tins are all same price,has the new sugar tax been added on to no sugar drinks as well

Went in on an off chance as had pretty much just arrived from the airport. Was really nice, staff super friendly, food was tasty as well - 2 poached eggs, 2 bacon, 2 toast. Great little place.

Cheap and cheerful with a variety of heart attack inducing food but never the less awesome. A great Ulster fry at a great price.

Food was ok, however the staff was extremely rude. The first waitress came over less than a couple of minutes after we had sat down to ask if we were ready to order, and when we said that we would need a little longer, she looked very inpatient, although the place wasn't busy at all.

We had a great breakfast here but it could do with a makeover. Couldn’t engage the staff though, sadly.

We went here for our breakfast and had a lovely meal. The vegetarian one is very tasty and well worth the money. Staff are nice and friendly.

Stopped off with my friends we had a small fry, it had everything you want in a fry. Good food at a reasonable price. I would recommend it to anyone.

No es el sitio con el mejor aspecto de la ciudad, pero el desayuno es rico, abundante y barato, y el servicio muy rápido.

Tengo muy buenos recuerdos de este lugar como un chico de madrugada con mi madre y mi hermana cada vez que estábamos en la ciudad para un pequeño regalo.

Nos detuvimos en un guiso. La presentación era excelente, el pan de patata y soda era muy fresco y todo estaba preparado a la perfección, y el personal era amable y relajado. Este es el mejor que he encontré en Belfast. Un sobresaliente!

Excelente guiso de la manera tradicional. Nada pretencioso aquí, buena grub antiguo. Gran servicio de belfast, buena onda con sincero, personal acogedor y a un precio razonable y un gran lugar para comenzar su estancia en la ciudad.

Tuvimos varias desayuno y almuerzo. La camarera era lo mejor. Los precios eran baratos para una ciudad placde. Como cocinar.

El mejor lugar para algo de grasa después de una sesión. Buena comida, buenos precios, servicio rápido. La ubicación es estupenda.

Trovandomi a Belfast, con amici e non volendo spendere grosse cifre per un pranzo completo e allo stesso tempo buono ho deciso di provare il The Windmill, il locale di perse è normale, non caratteristico tipico dell'Irlanda, ma la cucina invece ne vale la pena...

Comida deliciosa, recién preparado y servido bien. Las camareras estaban muy ocupados, así que el servicio fue bastante lento.

Called with my wife orders 2 battered cod with chips could not believe when served . Frozen fish was cheep crap deep fried fish sweepings in batter.complined but still took almost £16 for total garbage. Have to say tea was nice but hat to clean my cup with my hankie as no napkins where provided.

We visited here for breakfast and both ordered the bacon with poached eggs. I specifically requested that the eggs be nice and soft but we were both served eggs which like bullets they were so hard. Atmosphere was a bit lack lustre and although the breakfast was cheap and cheerful at the end of the day we were very disappointed with what we were served up.

Breaky here was okay, half the price our hotel was charging, and very convenient. Nice staff but food service a little slow first thing in the morning.

Called here whilst on holiday to Ireland and was advised by many family friends from close to Belfast that this is where I would taste a proper Ulster fry or their delicious poached eggs .. We visited on a Saturday morning and where not disappointed ..food out of this World and Staff fantastic and very welcoming .. What a nice experience.. Service with a smile ..whilst paying the bill we are asked ( by I presume a very friendly owner) how we had enjoyed our food and also was interested in how we where enjoying our holiday ..An Ulster fry to die for .. And very clean .. And so competitively priced .. Refreshing experience We will certainly be back and advising our friends to visit the Windmill

If memory serves me well, the Windmill Restaurant has been going strong in Belfast for the last twenty years or so. It's not fancy by any stretch of the imagination but serves good, reasonably priced food. Despite the name, this eatery is really just a basic cafe and not a 'restaurant'. However if you're after a fry-up (vegetarian options included), soup, paninis, chips and other such lunch or breakfast options then this is the place to visit. Over the years I've found Windmill to offer a good, consistent standard of food. The poached eggs on toast are spot on as a slightly healthier hang-over cure, especially with lashings of black pepper.

Never had a bad meal yet in the windmill, stew,fry,paninis burger or whatever, and havnt long to wait for meals, go ruffly once a month and never disappointed

Had lunch on way to railway station. Grease in the air when you enter. Glad of quick service, but surprised when charged £7.50 for kebab and chips. Menu stated £4.95, but that was the takeout price. My mistake! Decent portion but the kebab was dried up. Tasty all the same.

The windmill has been around for years and does one of the best breakfasts in Belfast at a good price, staff are good, just sit at the window and watch the world go by.

We enjoyed excellent breakfasts here, good choices too. We had the full Irish breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausage, soda bread, wheaten bread, mushrooms, beans different portions starting from £3.95. Plates piping hot and food freshly cooked with very friendly staff. Spotlessly clean and small enough to have that cosy feel, didn't have to wait long at all and the best pot of tea we have had in Ireland. Over in the Cathedral Quarter in Church Street so very conveniently placed. Give it a try you cant go wrong. Well done The Windmill we shall pay you a visit again on our next return to Ireland.

1st class café,in the side streets of Belfast,Great Ulster Fry,Staff are very friendly &service with a smile,and polite,this little place is great value for money,best coffee in Belfast,also the owner is 1 hot lady,

We called in The Windmill when we were visiting Belfast for a few days for the first time in a few years. We always loved eating at the windmill and were very happy to find it hadn't changed at all and the food was amazing as ever. My husband had the happy hangover fry and I had a cheese and bacon panini with salad and chips. We finished every bit. Gorgeous food! Staff are polite and friendly. Would eat here everyday if I could!

Called in as it looked cozy and inviting for a Friday lunchtime meal. I was impressed by the fast service and very pleasant staff. The order was taken quickly and the soup was on the table almost immediately. The best bit us it was great home made soup and some nice local bread to go with it. All for the price of £3.50 so was super value.Highly recommended - definitely worth a try.

Ulster frys are fantastic and the staff are very friendly . Only issue is the waiting time . All in all its a pleasant experience

My friends and I walked into this place to be seated at a wonky table to begin with which the waitress quickly fixed by getting us some paper for under it. The waiting staff were lovely and friendly, the fries we ordered were good for the price and quite enjoyable. However, the foreign woman with curly hair who I assume to be the boss on the till was one of the rudest people I have ever came across! The place was busy when we walked in and the language she used towards the waiting staff members was disgusting!! Basically telling them to "hurry the fxxk up" "clear tables for fxxk sake" when it seemed everyone was doing something accept her. On going to pay for our meal her attitude was awful her tone was so dry and she almost ripped the note out of my hands! For this reason I will not be returning to this restaurant as I do not want this woman to receive another penny from me.

4 breakfasts for under 20 pounds. All freshly made would recommend the poached eggs and toast if you dont fancy meat. Just round the corner from the Morning Star pub. Also well worth a visit after breakfast.

This is a great spot for a good Ulster fry, prices start at £3.75 for their idea of a small fry, eggs, bacon, sausages, black pudding, mushrooms , potato cakes, and fried bread!! hardly small , and you up until you get to a gut busting Big Fry, which is double of all of the above, with a few extras! teas, coffee and orange juice, surprisingly not greasy and will certainly keep you going for a good few hours, the cafe itself is clean and the staff are welcoming.

The Windmill serves up great burgers after a night out with friends. Open late, the burgers are as good as any you'd get nearby and there is an excellent menu choice if you fancy something else, all at very competitive prices.

Little cafe in Belfast nothing at all fancy but good value for money and a great fry .Not at all greasy and service was good

Greasiest of all spoons, The Windmill has absolutely no distinct features, hence it not warranting a capital letter. It may or may not have been there forever, nobody's sure. The decor is unchanged since 1995 and great if you love grey.The menu consists of fried breakfasts, fried lunches, and fried brunches. You can definitely get an OAP special.Despite all this, I like The Windmill; the food was nice for a cheap fry, and came pretty quick, and the staff were friendly and attentive. It ain't getting any Michelin stars any time soon, but it can whip up a mean fry

If you're not from around Belfast and you want a good breakfast look no further, this is wondefull and at a great price. This is always my first stop when I get off the bus. Central location and a proper ulster fry what more do you want?

Fantastic scramble eggs and bacon with toast, great pot off tea, quickly served by friendly staff would highly recommend you pay them a visit. Good value for money.

Great value for money, the staff are very friendly, didn't have long to wait until my order was taken, food arrived nice and warm. Would go back again.

I ordered a medium breakfast but it came with no mushroom but instead of telling me they just gave me an extra piece on unbuttered dry bread and then charge me extra for beans. Not happy with there organisisation or customer service. At 5.70 it was a real underwhelming breakfast.

This place is a little gem. The food is proper Northern Irish food at proper prices. I would definitely recommend the frys, they are very very tasty. I ordered the small fry and it was very filling, I dare not think how big the largest fry would be! The girls who served us were very friendly and helpful. Will be back here, and would recommend this to everyone.

A lo mejor es cierto que el desayuno irlandés es lo mejor del local. Pero a nosotros no se nos ocurrió cenar un fry. Pedimos un fish and chips, normalito, con patatas precongeladas; y un kebab, que en principio no tiene mucho misterio para su preparación. Era imposible. Una carne adobada muy extraña y muy fuerte. Es cierto que es un sitio que cierra tarde y siempre deberías encontrar algo de tu gusto.

Call in quite regular to this wee cafe love all the food from their lasagne to ulster frys! Lovely wee atmosphere, pleasant staff and also great coffee! Defo recommend for a cheap and cheerful meal!

Had a great fry in the windmill, much needed refuel after a mornings shopping in victoria square with the wife. Gave me the strength to carry on!! Good service and great food at a very resonable price (seeing as its so close to Vic Square)!! Deffo be back.

The Windmill is a great value for money restaurant with a good range of tasty food options. I normally go for the Giant Causeway fry, and usually ask for a switch of a few of the items which is never a problem. The food is always tasty and of a very good standard whether it be the famous fries or a lasagne they are always great and very satisfying.If you are simply popping in for a cup of tea/coffee of going in for a hearty meal then the Windmill is definitely worth a visit.

I visited here with my partner for lunch, the staff were very friendly and attentive, the ulster fry was really good and I think it was good value for money, I would visit here again and would recommend it.

Love the frys First time at the windmill have tried many a cafe in belfast city centre and have to say there's is the best by far.. Went for the mighty medium one not to big not too small lol. No grease think it was grilled spot on. Keep up the good work .

Don't be put off by the small size or furniture in this cafe.This small city cafe provides one of the best Uster "fries" that you can get in terms of fresh food and actually being grilled. Indeed all its food looks - and tastes excellent. Staff are courteous, efficient and ready to answer any request (within reason). Tea & Coffee come in big servings - one of our party asked for coffee, received a large mug of white coffee only to realise she wanted it black - no problem! The value for money is excellent.

Horrible chips which were definitely not homemade. Normally when I order chips in this sort of establishment, I expect thick cut, fresh, meaty ones. Theirs are regular american sized fries, guess it was the cheapest option to buy from frozen. Also the ones advertised in garlic chips came drenched in mayonnaise, a second portion, which to be fair was given without any fuss, had a litttle fruit fly sticking to them. Guess things like this happen, it just didn't help the overall impression. On a positive note: The waiters were friendly and forthcoming

Eaten here breakfast midweek with my partner the girl serving was impatient and rude. The tables were greasy. We both ordered a fry my bacon was almost raw, the poached eggs were as hard as chuck Norris. The sausage was terrible as well. Not great value for money and for a fry in Belfast it was an embarrassment to the city. When I went to pay the bill the three female staff members kept me standing until they had finished they're chatting. Not a good experience.
