The best restaurants serving Tapas food in Northern Ireland

Such a special place - my wife and I have so many happy memories over the years of dining at The Barking Dog. Leader of the pack and one of the best in Belfast it has been a firm favourite restaurant of ours for a very long time. Never easy saying goodbye we managed two visits in its final week and as always it delivered on fabulous food complimented by friendly and first class service with lots of positive energy and atmosphere despite that dreaded closure just days away - true professionals to the very end. Thanks to Michael and every member of his talented team over the years for always stepping up to the plate and delivering a service second to none. Special mention is due on that final Friday evening to Lauren, Charlotte, Ciara and Anna as we sat at our favourite window table basking in glorious spring sunshine and reflecting on what has been a memorable and unmissable journey. Thanks for everything - it has been a blast!

Went here tonight for my sister’s birthday. I managed to drop the (homemade) cake I had for upside down in the box when getting out of the car on the way in 🤦🏼‍♀️ The staff were amazing at helping me salvage it, we did a pretty good job imo hahaha! I can’t eat gluten and am allergic to chilli and the staff were amazing at helping, so many options and the food was unreal! Huge thank you to Padraig and Joanne for going out of their way to help me save the cake 🥰
