Square bistro in Lisburn

Food is always top quality. Staff very helpful.

Wee gem in lisburn...hard to beat.

Very difficult to get through on phone. Have tried many times & they don't answer at the times given to call.???

By far the best burger I've eaten in my entire life

Staff friendly and helpful..Enjoyed service and our meals. 😛🍽🥂

Food is also to a top standard. The customer service by every member of staff is the best we have ever received. Well worth the wait to get booked in

Owner and staff very friendly and informative. Nothing was a problem for them. Food was excellent and well priced compared to the North Coast area. Staff checked numerous times if we were happy and satisfied. Owner went the extra mile to explain the best route to exit the city centre and reach the motorway. Highly recommended. We will be back.

Highly recommend and book well in advance! Gorgeous food as always from Christina & staff! from the Duck to Cod to the smoked Beef: everyone in our party of 7 enjoyed a superb meal. Service is always fantastic and we can’t wait to return! Thanks for a lovely evening

Excellent service from start to finish. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Great menu choice. Delicious food and cocktails. Reasonably priced for such great quality.

We walked past this place many times and never thought twice about it, until on a cold winter’s evening prior to Christmas we were drawn to the warm glow and fantastic looking dishes being served inside. Didn’t expect to get a table having not booked, but struck lucky and got a table for an hour for a bite. As we were in a bit of a mad hurry we went for our second choice menu options, as the dishes we would have liked had more preparation time than we could afford. Despite this we were not disappointed. The food really was top class and not overpriced either, given the quality. Closer to fine dining than casual dining in my opinion but enough menu choices to suit most tastes and budgets. We liked really that. Can’t wait to go back when we’ve a bit more time to enjoy our preferred dishes. Highly recommend. Update… So finally got a chance to try the steak. Had to book a table a week ahead and was lucky to get that given how popular this place is. Best sirloin steak I’ve ever tasted. Indescribably good in fact, as were the onion rings and chips.

Fantastic service and food, very different from the usual "meat & 2 veg" restaurants. Can't wait till my next visit.

Really amazing food and service. I was with my friend for a Christmas catch-up and she is intolerant to milk and wheat so not easy to find restaurants to suit. She talked to the waitress and the kitchen was able to modify a meal that she liked to be cooked with a different sauce and chicken made in a different batter. Really outstanding service, they went above and beyond. The food was exceptional and would recommend, especially to anyone with allergies wanting to know they will be catered for!

Fantastic place to eat. The food is sensational and very tasty. The staff are great and very friendly. Always there to help. Always busy so book a table.

Unreal meal had at Square today. The food was out of this world and the service was equally as excellent. You can tell that this place really cares about its food and the overall experience it provides. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing 5 star little gem. Food and service was amazing in a great location. Definitely recommend 😘👌

Never ever had a bad meal here, always excellent ever since it opened

We had lunch here for a friend's 'big birthday ' . The food was first class with a super choice of all courses . The service was professional and not intrusive. Busy but calm atmosphere throughout. Highly recommend!

Lucky us as this was an amazing find and happening restaurant after a long day’s drive. The staff is incredibly friendly- even offered/gave me change so that I could pay for parking without the risk of being ticketed. The food was creative, delicious, freshly sourced and included a fabulous presentation. We enjoyed a cauliflower appetizer, beef stroganoff, vegetable curry and celeriac dish. all three dishes were extremely tasty as well as the three desserts we had including- lemony mousse (proper name?!!), apple crumble and brûlée. We were so lucky to score a table here and hope you do too. It was an amazing start to our vacation in Ireland.

Everything about this restaurant is exceptional, my favourite dinners are beef stroganoff, Korean chicken and Thai chicken.

Treat yourself to a visit to this place the food is amazing. Super friendly staff and excellent customer service a real joy to go and spend time there.

We have had lunch here twice and have had great food and service both times. The Square Bistro is a lovely environment with a great atmosphere, very amicable and professional staff with modern, delicious cuisine. We will definitely be back.... 5*'s

Lunch in this fantastic restaurant is a treat, do try their signature Korean chicken dish which is excellent, great staff and quick and efficient lunchtime service, give it a try

Can't fault it really, just not giving a perfect score on price which is unfair as I wasn't paying. So enjoy.

Another fab night of food and wine. Staff are so friendly and guided us on which dishes could be modified to dairy free. Can't wait to be back.

Yet another fantastic meal for us last night! This is without doubt the favourite spot for us. The food is flawless, every single time we’ve been. And the staff are just exceptional! Highly recommend.

Absolutely delightful from start to finish. Service amazing and food fab. Best place in the area. Mash and fish creamy and fresh wonderful greens and garlic veloute

We had dinner at this restaurant after 23 days of touring Ireland. Without question, it was by far the best food and best service we had on our entire trip.

First time here and I'd definitely return. The service was impeccable, the food delicious and the atmosphere was buzzing.

Our family enjoyed an excellent dinner this evening. The ambience was superb and matched the quality of the food and service. A night to remember

First time and had a lovely meal … lovely friendly staff would recommend

One of the best restaurants in Lisburn. Went for one of the specials which still used duck but prepared differently to the regular menu. Sounded better than it actually was. Disappointed reading about the potatoes only to be served roast potatoes with green chilli on top. I would go back but I would just stick to the basic menu. Need to make a booking to avoid disappointment as it's very popular.

Not a bad place but the fries were soggy and the rest average. The staff are helpful enough although not worth going out of your way for.

Just back from another fantastic experience at this fab restaurant. Great food, lovely staff, and a super ambience. If you haven’t tried give it a go , you won’t be disappointed.

Wir haben das Restaurant durch Zufall auf unserer Tour durchs Land entdeckt. Das Essen war super lecker und der Service wirklich überragend freundlich. Es gab sogar eine Kinderkarte mit gesunden Speisen, was uns sehr gefallen hat. Das Hausgemachte Brot muss man unbedingt probiert haben. :)

First time visiting with family, and I must say, the food and service were exceptional! Staff were very attentive and very knowledgeable on the wines to compliment the dishes. Great menu, enough choice for everyone, so not bombarded to be overwhelmed with too much choice. My main dish of blackened cod was delicious and to die for. This restaurant is a must if you are in Lisburn and looking for great quality food and excellent service! I will be back!!

Food is consistently good, not exceptional, the prices compare to some of Belfasts better restaurants, I have ate here a number of times and feel the lack of competition in Lisburn has led to a bit of complacency.

Best there is restaurant wise in Lisburn. Seafood night is the night to go on

Amazing! Good absolutely delicious and staff friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Can't wait to go back

The food in here is incredible and the menu is also really varied so something for everyone with things you don’t see everywhere. One of the things that makes this place so special is how friendly the staff are. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

Fabulous lunch at The Square today. Thank you.

Absolutely beautiful food, fantastic atmosphere, friendly attentive staff and such a choice on the menu we cannot wait to go back again! Their signature dish of Korean chicken is to die for, the flavours were unreal, highly recommend you check this restaurant out next time you are in Lisburn.

Great food and good portion sizes. Every course was delicious. Congrats to the chefs. Service from the friendly, handsome waiters was spot-on.

How this restaurant is rated only No. 2 in Lisburn is beyond comprehension. Amazing food yet again. Stepped outside my comfort zone and went for Steak tartare starter👍. Main course beef cheek, fab as usual. Espresso martini pudding😀😀😀. Great night, super staff. Looking forward to next time already.

We weren’t doing much more than looking for a place to eat after a very tiring day. Tbh, Lisburn didn’t look full of options… and then this place came as a total surprise. It doesn’t look much from the outside but has a skilfully designed interior, super friendly staff and food that is cooked with precision and is both imaginative and full of flavour. We went for a selection of small plates- the dahl and the roasted cauliflower stood out for me whilst my friend loved the beef, Mac and cheese. Not the cheapest but not extortionate either and the quality justified the pricing.

Stopped here on the way to Belfast. Firstly, 5 mins off the motorway and loads of parking very nearby. This place is set in a lovely little square, hence the name I suppose. Staff and service were second to none, in the background but very attentive. All staff very well dressed. The atmosphere that has been created here is just right for the size of the place. The food is excellent, the best I've tasted this year. We went for three of the smaller dishes, but there is loads of choice on the menu, and all has a bit of a twist, must be a very good Chef. Reasonably priced, and I will definitely be stopping here a good few more times on the way to Belfast. Well done to all the staff!

We had a superb evening in this friendly family business. I had the seafood pasta, the fish fresh and the sauce not overpowering. I would definitely order it again but then there are so many other dishes I would like to try. My husband had the smoked steak and he said it was beautiful and tender. The service was excellent and the staff helpful and attentive. My son Stephen ( suffers from an Acquired Brain Injury) was celebrating his birthday and the thoughtful banner and candle in his dessert made his day despite his little blush. So thank you all for making it a lovely evening.

Great food. Especially night menu. Lovely staff.

This place is a little pot of food heaven.. We have been several times and have never been disappointed.. Can't wait to return

We had heard good reviews of this place and when we arrived, it was already full. The staff were friendly and attentive. We ordered the seafood pasta. The fish was tasty and there was plenty. It was pleasant evening with good company.

What a gem, great food with exquisite service. Price wise is a little bit above the average but the quality worth it.

Actually it was very nice. Friendly calm atmosphere with a kicking burger and chips 😋

Excellent! Great Burger...one of the best I've had. Staff brilliant. Atmosphere was relaxed.

Unbelieve food, such a gem in the centre of Lisburn.

Fantastic food as always. Service is great and they are always friendly and helpful. Korean chicken is so so nice.

Food good friendly staff ,but £30 for a bottle of house wine ridiculous .

Friendly staff, good service, tasty food, reasonable price ,nice atmosphere. Definitely recommend. Victor.

We had a great meal! The service was great, prices good & the menu was engaging. Food excellently presented.

Great experience. Good food. Good atmosphere and even better service. Thanks all!

Went here today for lunch, had no booking but they managed to fit us in. Stylish restaurant, the food was amazing and the staff were friendly and very helpful. We will certainly be returning customers.

Fabulous Mother’s Day menu and the special little touches of bag of chocolates finished with an uplifting verse! Delicious as always.

This is the first time I have reviewed a restaurant twice on TripAdvisor. I'm doing so because Square Bistro is THAT good! Its special quality is that their menu and specials cater to everyone. There are technical, fine dining options (e.g., cod, ham hock). There...

Lovely spot for lunch or dinner. Great staff, great food. Can't fault it.

Great food and clearly well managed

My wife and I had dinner last night at the Resturant and it was delicious. Excellent food was served in a lovely ambiance and the serving personnel were professional, courteous and suitably interactive. All in all a great experience. #highlyrecommended

Went for lunch to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The cocktail special was excellent,the food and service was wonderful. We had a really lovely time. Warm and friendly atmosphere.

Must be the best restaurant in Lisburn. Lots of choice in the dinner menu which is further increased with more choice on the ‘specials menu’. Dishes are well thought through with some unique and ingredients and combinations. Food was extremely well cooked and beautifully presented....

Christmas Lunch was fantastic, service was good considering we were a group of 18.

Lovely Very friendly and helpful staff Been. Therewith fiends manyn

A most enjoyable lunch here, we had no booking but we're very lucky to be sloted in. This is now are go to place when visiting Lisburn.

Perfect, great food and excellent service 👍

First time at the Square Bistro. Excellent food and front of house staff first class. Couldn't be more attentive. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. Will definitely be back. A well deserved 5*.

An excellent restaurant in the centre of Lisburn. Korean sprouts were a recommended starter and they didn't disappoint!

The Square restaurant is a hidden GEM in Lisburn. This was our second visit to the Square restaurant, it is nothing short of excellent this applies not only to the food but equally to the staff all of whom are helpful and friendly. I like...

We dined at sqaure bistro last niyto celebrate a family's birthday. The staff made is very special, they are so helpful and friendly. They are so attentive and make for a very relaxing evening there. The food is always exquisite, no matter what you order you're never unsatisfied. Everything is beautiful. Will always recommend sqaure bistro.

I cannot praise this restaurant enough. The food is absolutely delicious and the presentation is beautiful. The staff could not be nicer or more helpful. Everything including the decor couldn't be faulted. I would 100% recommend the Square Bistro to everyone ❤️

Perfect evening as usual at Square Bistro. Great food and wonderful staff.

Best restaurant in Lisburn. Food is outstanding! And staff absolutely lovely!

Very friendly and accommodating, lovely meal and atmosphere

Absolutely fantastic food. Everything was delicious and arrived quickly, will certainly be back.

My wife and I dined here last night and the food was excellent. Many places at the moment have a high turnover of staff who are perhaps not the most knowledgeable about the fare, however the servers showed great insight into the dishes...even the specials....

The entire meal was brilliant I can’t fault anything. The whitebait starter was crisp on the outside and tasty. The beef cheek was succulent and tender. Loved the evening. Waitresses took all the banter we fished out.

Simply the best meal my family has had in a long time - probably since we were last here 👌🏻 My langoustine Mac n cheese starter was possible the best Mac n cheese I’ve ever had, the tapenade my daughter had was sublime & my wife and other daughter raves about their starters too. (One of us will always get the Korean chicken starter - it’s a must👍🏻) For our main dishes we had steak, Coley fish, Turbot fish & a chicken dish. All were cooked perfectly & were very tasty. No matter how critical we were we could not find fault with any aspect of the cooking nor presentation, and all our servers were excellent. Our only observation otherwise was there could have been a little more pepper sauce with the steak. In summation, a perfect meal in a wonderful venue.

Firstly the service was impeccable. The staff where just so on point which is rarity these days. The food was absolutely out of this world. I’m now confirming the jewel of Lisburn. Booking isn’t a requirement but a necessity. I am very hard critic, but...

We had not eaten here for quite a long time. Walking in to see the place completely redesigned was a great surprise and the place looks incredible 🤩 The food certainly did not disappoint and everything was piping hot and tasted amazing. The service was...

Lovely restaurant, full of atmosphere. Busy, even on a mid-week evening so booking essential. We managed three courses that came promptly, tasted divine and good portions. Couldn't resist a dessert and shared the apple crumble which was so good

Food was nice but Overpriced and no atmosphere.

To guarantee excellent food - this is the place. They have a fixed menu but also have a specials menu every night. The staff are all well trained by Christina and the are all very knowledgeable about the food. They are all very pleasant and...

One of the best eateries in Northern Ireland...

This has been a long time coming, I have been meaning to write a review after each visit to Square Bistro. But I think the euphoria of the food coma I have coming out of Square Bistro has stopped me each time! My wife and...

I agree with all of the great reviews. I am not easily impressed where food is concerned, many people are so easily pleased. So often I hear people saying, 'such and such a restaurant is lovely, food is delicious'.. I try them and am usually...

The food at Square Bistro is always fabulous. Had the Nobu Squid and salt and chilli prawns which were both first class. The French martinis are amazing too. The staff here can never do enough.
