The Lamppost in Belfast

Very enjoyable experience at this quirky little restaurant decked out in CS Lewis paraphernalia. Lovely staff and good quality food and coffee. Love that it's dog friendly.

Beautifully decorated and lovely food. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Love that you can bring a well behaved dog. Very good value for money.

Had an amazing breakfast, would highly recommend. 👌🏻 Plus it's dog friendly

This place is lovely ...it has though cut the menu right Doen so it's hard to pick something thats different if you go there alot

Tried today as it was dog friendly. It was a lovely atmosphere, and very relaxing for us and our pup. Staff were all lovely and the food & coffee was great too! Will definitely be back 😄

We won’t be back. Service was terrible. A Staff member was rude. There is s no booking but a table was reserved for ‘afternoon tea’ at 10am. Two of our party of 4 made the staff member aware of mobility issues but we were offered a table upstairs rather than vacant downstairs table. On our way out we saw the reserved tables was occupied by people having breakfast. Very disappointing to be given false story. Upstairs was cold and our food was warm not hot. The food was very tasty. No return by staff to see if everything was ok, so we didn’t stay for a second coffee as is our usual after breakfast. Very disappointed as this could have become a regular place for us. Try if you have a thick skin, a warm coat and can manage steep stairs easily.

If you love, CS Lewis and Irish breakfast, you’ll love going here. The dirty chai was delish too. 10/10.

Boa comida em um lugar aconchegante.

I have visited this lovely cafe with my sister on our trip to Belfast. Since the moment we stepped in we loved it! The atmosphere is amazing, the staff is very kind and attentive and food was superb! I had the lamppost fry up and my sister had the avocado and poached egg on sourdough bread and let me tell you, we demolished it. There is plenty of little touches that make the cafe homely and comfortable and as a dog lover myself I loved seeing all the little furry friends in there too. Definitely recommend and I know we will be going back for sure!

Fantastic spot for breakfast, thoroughly enjoyed our visit, the food was excellent, my boyfriend had the poached eggs with avocado and he raved about it. The staff were so friendly. The next time we are in Belfast we will be back.

Grest staff great food highly recommend. Quirky

Absolute best venue in Belfast for private dining. Loved every dish and every second of our night celebrating my dads 60th. Superb staff, superb food - celebrating in style 🤗😍 Called in again for a chilled Sunday breakfast after a walk with the dog. Milo (the dog) loved it, we were so welcomed and the food was gorgeous as ever- best chicken Miles had 😋 and the poached eggs weren't bad either

Great place after a long walk. The best puppichino in town. Biscuits sprinkled over the top and I managed to scrounge some bacon off the humans at the next table. Would recommend for a casual lunch with friends or a blind date......better than casual encounters in the park. Excellent service. Brilliant dog-friendly staff. Dexter x

Had a great lunch, food excellent as was the service.

Beautiful food - all day brunch/lunch menu. Just what we needed on a rainy morning.

Absolutely lovely cafe in East Belfast. I really enjoyed it here. The food was really creative and well priced and it was very cozy and well decorated inside. Definitely will be back.

Lovely spot! Dog friendly and great service.

Late night menu was gorgeous . Service was 5 star ++. Will definitely be back .

Super breakfasts - good for vegan options ❤️

Sehr nettes kleines Café, das auch eine Abendkarte hat. Lustiges Interieur! Nettes Personal! Gerne Wieder!

Very nice, calm atmosphere. I had coffee and scones for breakfast and everything was simply amazing. They have a nice patio at the back and also another seating area upstairs. they are against smoking so they don’t even have an ashtray outside in front of the cafe, so maybe bring your own.

Very nice place to take a coffee and breakfast. They have good variety and the decoration is lovely

Myself and my daughter Karmen on her day's of work we would go to the Lamppost for a meal. The food is so yummy I could eat more. The staff are BRILLIANT 👌. They are so lovely and very kind. The food is to die for. I am hopeing to go in next week,when my daughter is not working that day. We will be seeing you all very soon 🔜 I tell you all now go into the Lamppost and try their food. Brilliant, tasty 😋 they remind me of my grandmother with the welcome we get and the old fashion dinning area so beautiful ❤️ and cosy I bet you with all come back. Xxxxx👌👍💌

We have visited this cafe on 3 occasions and loved the food! Nathanael and his team offered top notch customer service They were always smiling and we’re very kind to us! My family and I are from Rochester NY and went to Belfast recently and out of all of the other cafes in Belfast this one checked all of the boxes. Nathanael was very charming and answered many of our dumb questions about the menu !

Beautiful Café. The decor is wonderful especially if you are a Narnia and C.S. Lewis fan. The food was delicious and the service exceptional.

Excellent vegan Belfast bap, my dog really enjoyed the puppachino and generally just a lovely little cafe.

Had a lovely catch up with a friend here today. We were greeted immediately on arrival and shown to a seat. The staff working were polite and friendly and our order was taken quickly. Food was delicious and good quality and I will definitely be back.

Excellent service, very friendly, highly recommended! Would come back - loved the jelly tot biscuits.

Such joy and passion from the front man. The place is decorated with such creativity and taste, an absolute treat. Transforms you to the magical world of Narnia!

Loved it got French toast with seasonal fruit and coffee. It was really lovely. Plenty of seats even allow dogs in.

Great spot with great vegan options! I really enjoyed brunch here, although the coffee isn't as good as many other places in the area but the food and buns make up for it.

What an absolutely fabulous café , have been in multiple times for breakfast once for dinner, unique décor, very friendly staff, excellent service and delicious food and an added extra it's dog friendly so can bring the pup, would highly recommended as one of the best cafes in Belfast.

Great little spot and super dog friendly with a little mini menu for dogs.

Staff excellent, fry and French toast lovely, list one star because fry only lukewarm

Couple of friends suggested me to eat at The Lamppost Cafe during my trip in Belfast. I had a very good Chicken Caesar open sandwich with soup and finished with an excellent cappuccino. Nice and very friendly staff! Highly recommended. There is free parking across the street

Sitio muy agradable, acogedor y divertido. Ambientado en narnia. Me ha encantado!!! El personal suuuer amable. Los desayunos variados y riquísimos. Recomendable 100%

Recommended for lunch after a tour of C S Lewis square. It was a delightful experience. The food , decor and staff were fabulous. Will recommend to friends and I will definitely return very soon

Well we came across this absolute gem of a place . The ambience and decor was incredible. The service was warm and friendly and the food absolutely delicious . Just a 5 minute ride out of the city in a bus or cab . The place was the best we had in Antrim and we will certainly return. Just wow Chris&Donna Isle of Man

The Lamppost Cafe has another branch in Linen Hall, Belfast! The menu remains the same, with their signature yummy egg and avocado dish. The staff are even friendlier and make for a delightful visit. Highly recommend treating yourself here. The ground floor for dogs while the second one for people want to be away from dogs. I like to see dogs all the times!

Had a splendid experience having afternoon tea on the top floor of the venue. Have always loved the quaintness of The Lamppost Cafe so much so that I wanted to share my birthday celebrations with friends & family here. The food was so fresh and delicious and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Thankyou Lamppost Cafe for a memorable birthday x

Had a quick coffee while waiting for something and really enjoyed the vibe. Nice!

Just enjoyed a very pleasant Sunday brunch, delicious food and attentive service. Special shout out to Barista Matthew - ‘Top Tier’ coffee 😋 21.05.23

Lovely place with great staff! Super friendly team and delicious drinks and food! We love to come back soon.

A super wee cafe near CS Lewis Square, with great all day breakfast menus, lunches, traybakes, and brilliant vegetarian and vegan options. Nice afternoon tea too.

This pretty CS Lewis inspired café in east Belfast is a treasure trove of vintage crockery, quirky Narnia-themed artwork and with its perfectly pitched playlist, is a delightfully cosy family run affair offering fabulous food, coffee, tea and delicious tray-bakes all using local produce and suppliers. The Lamppost is now open on Friday and Saturday evenings with a brand new menu featuring a great selection of large and small dishes with suggested wine pairing, and some great vegetarian and vegan options, so we were delighted to have been invited down to be one of the first to try out the new menu. We began with a gorgeous Mackerel Rillette with watercress, cucumber pickle, and toasted sourdough, a Tempura Oyster Mushroom with maple glaze, kimchi bean sprouts, and an incredible gochujang mayo, and Grilled Asparagus with harissa yogurt, dill and toasted almonds, all of which were perfect sharing starters. To follow, the Mussels with Orzo, leeks, peas and saffron cream were fresh and bursting with flavour, and the Lentil Dahl with miso tofu and crispy onions with triangles of pitta bread for dipping was one of the tastiest vegan dishes we’d had in quite a while, accompanied by some steamed Asian Greens in sesame and ginger. To finish we had a light yet luscious Lemon Roulade with fresh fruit and vanilla cream, and some vegan cheese, a plant based, spirulina blue-veined wedge of Cashew Blue from Nourish Good Food, with crackers and Irish Black Butter. All washed down with an excellent bottle of Porta 6, and some great cocktails, this is a terrific new menu. Many thanks to the team at the Lamppost for a wonderful evening of fantastic food, service and warm hospitality.

伯爵点了vegan breakfast 自制的🍅酱味道很赞 sausage 也😋五星

This is a great local independent cafe , family owned , serving lovely home made food . A doggie friendly cosy atmosphere with fairytale interiors. Now open on Saturday night also !

Amazing food and really helpful and nice staff. It has a great vibe, full of lots of little trinkets and the place is spotlessly clean. My favourite cafe in Belfast. My recommendation is the poached eggs, with avocado on sourdough, sprinkled with feta, walnuts and chilli flakes! Drool!

My first time in The Lamppost and found it charming and friendly with excellent service and delicious food. The layout and stairs may make it less accessible for people with mobility issues but this did not apply to our group. The red toilet seat indicated a dementia friendly establishment.

Lovely cosy little gem. Super friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was top notch. Would highly recommend.

The staff service was amazing and the food was great i came from Scotland and i really enjoyed the meal

This place has such an old English vibe! With teapots, paintings and florals everywhere, it really felt cozy and warm. The food was above average in quality and taste. However, the quantity can be slightly more. The afternoon tea menu looked nice so will probably try that next time. But overall, it's a great place.

Stellar customer service, wonderful atmosphere; highly recommend the baked goods!

Cute, comfy cafe with delightful staff. The food was nice, particularly the baked goods. Dog friendly and also great for veggie and gluten-free options.

We had the best experience, we were able to bring out dog and have a lovely brunch. The two guys who own it were so great, very friendly and welcoming. They made a big fuss over our dog and he was treated as well as (if not better haha) a paying customer. This was such a lovely experience, we had the the French toast and my partner had the stew. Will definitely be back!

Happy with overall service staff are lovely and pleasant.

Loved the décor and atmosphere of the place. Service was friendly all the food was tempting, would have liked a veggie fry as well as a vegan fry or a couple more veggies choices not vegan but understand why. Will be returning

Lovely food and coffee in a cosy setting - much more pleasant surroundings than a chain restaurant

Very poor service. Dark and dingy atmosphere. Would not recommend this cafe. Hard to accept all the good comments.

Went for lunch today and we both had their 'Lamppost Fry' which was great and the service so friendly and helpful. Thank you! Lovely lunch date!

Very disappointing Afternoon Tea. My daughter treated me as part of my Mother's Day present. Very sparsely filled sandwiches, the pastries didn't taste like homemade, they resembled something from the freezer section of a supermarket. Scones weren't homemade either.All in all very poor value and not good food. It was pathetic. Definitely won't be back.

Lovely little cafe in Belfast. Gorgeous decor, friendly staff and delicious food. The coffee is great. Will be back for sure.

Amazing food and great friendly staff. Been there on breakfast while visiting Belfast. Would definetly come again.

Lovely place....music very quaint and a welcom change. Food choices great to meet all needs and staff very friendly. Dogs welcome. However, this place could go a step beyond. Quirky and quaint, it could just use a little fine tuning. Maybe a lick of paint on the way in and at the main desk in the front room, and ensure the bathroom is ultra taken care of and be attentive about its presentation. It's a great place to stop at on the Newtownrds Rd.

A great find for lunch. I had the Family Beef Stew with home-made Guinness bread followed by an apple & cinnamon scone. All was absolutely delicious with friendly, efficient service. I did leave my scarf there so I hope I can get it back next time I'm in Belfast.

Food is always on point and ts great you can bring your dog. My boyfriend loves it, the only thing he would say is the portion size of rhe fry is a little small for the price

It's the loveliest place, the staff are fab and the interior is so quirky!! The food was beautiful, I like the kids menu didn't contain the usual beige mass of nuggets and chips!!

First time in this cafe and definitely will be returning. 4 friends for afternoon tea celebrating a birthday 🎂 Lovely food and atmosphere

One of the nicest fry's ive had in a good while. Staff friendly and dogs are allowed actually encouraged.

Went on Saturday for the first time and wasn’t disappointed! The menu and food is outstanding and it’s dog friendly what more could you ask for

What a delightfully perfect evening we had! Fourteen of us gathered for a surprise meal to celebrate my husband's retirement in the upper top floor room. We all left with special memories of a unique venue, outstanding service and food perfectly cooked. The inclusive service was reminiscent of gentler days, with food served on an eclectic collection of fine porcelain crockery. Correspondence and planning with Victoria could not have been easier. She was incredibly accomodating and all dietary requirements were easily met. Nothing was too much bother. This is a perfect place for a family function or special occasion. The Narnia decor adds so much charm and it truly feels like a step back in time. The food was delicious...Starters included Winter vegetable soup, Buffalo chicken wings and Chicken liver pate. Followed by Roast beef, Teryaki pork and Thai green curry. Finally desserts of Sticky toffee pudding, Lemon tart and Vegan chocolate tart. Everyone agreed that the food was lovely and service impeccable. This is a perfect place to spend time with dear ones. We will be back and highly recommend. Thank you to all the staff who worked hard to give my family a very memorable evening!

Popped in for brekkie Sunday 29.1.23. Quirky but lovely interior. Opted for a fry which was outstanding. I’ve had a number of fry’s over the years in Belfast which were extremely disappointing. This was head and shoulders above the rest. Really chilled vibe, great tunes, lovely staff, beautiful food. What more do you want! Highly recommended.

Wonderful atmosphere and dining experience. It is beautifully decorated and so quaint. Dog friendly with lots of nods to Narnia. Amazing menu and food.I took the photo after our meal we were a large party at all the tables.

Food was gorgeous. I would highly recommend

Love the food choice, quality of the food, the friendly staff and the whole ambience of the place. They have a doggy menu as well

The owner is 5 stars. I love the place.

We had afternoon tea for a large group and it was lovely! Would recommend.

Lovely food and staff, a little expensive

Afternoon tea bought as a gift for mine and my daughters birthday. Thoroughly enjoyable. Staff very friendly

Great food and excellent staff! Dog friendly, child friendly and um just friendly, really!

Narnia - We have arrived! What a great overall experience. From the atmosphere to the carefully plated dishes, The Lamppost Cafe delivers! Who is the chef back there? Aslan!?! A must visit while in Belfast for fans of C.S. Lewis or otherwise.

Absolutely love Lamppost, so does our dog Beamish. I love the fry, really good. Sausages are great. Always happy to oblige with sriracha sauce on the side. The staff always seem to be in good form which is always a great sign. The bloody Mary premixed from love&death are great too 🤤

Great atmosphere, calm and chilled despite being small and filled with dogs. Hard working staff. Will be back.

One of the highlights of our time in Belfast. Nicest little cafe I've been in a while. Dog friendly. Extremely nice food and drink (at Xmas time) Good vegan selection.

Excellent place with great atmosphere, service and food. They were very welcoming to me and my dog. Good gluten free options on menu and they even have a doggy menu!

Delicious food and lots of creative options for vegan and vegetarian. Staff are always lovely, coffee is banging and kid and dog friendly. Quirky cosy set up, and outdoor/indoor garden. Loos are spotless and have emergency supplies for babies and feminine hygiene which is a huge plus! Love this place.

Great dog-friendly cafe, with a delicious menu.

Lovely dog friendly cafe with delicious food and a warm atmosphere

Unfortunately with no booking I turned up today with a party of 5 at 1030 the place was packed but as we had been looking at the fabulous menu online we just couldn’t go anywhere else we got seated at a few different tables but that didn’t matter the staff are fabulous the service given its not the biggest kitchen in the world was brilliant an East Belfast gem oh and the vegan carrot cake is to die for I just knew she wanted that cake ( my daughter 24 has a severe egg allergy this is the only place she’s every had a fab cake if was taken back to Manchester to show them how to do it)

Great attention from new member of staff . Excellent scones and lovely vibe

Nice little coffee shop but the menu didn't have a great selection and found it quite pricey More sandwich/lunch options would be nice

Mixed bag here today, my dish was very disappointing but my wife's was very good. I ordered the Xmas open sandwich ,sounded lovely , sourdough bread , ham , turkey ,stuffing , 2 cocktail sausage , cranberry mayo and gravy. I was stumped when mine arrived, 1 slice of sourdough with packet ham and packet turkey. Is this a warm or cold sandwich? Bread, sausage and gravy warm. Ham and turkey cold !! Good coffee and very good poached eggs and avacado. My choice of sandwich turned out to be a poor effort on their behalf

Friendly service and fantastic food and coffee

I really loved the place, it was so cosy and well designed. The hot drinks were very good too but I didn’t like my food it was very dry with no seasoning. But overall experience was good 👍🏻

My partner and I visited this morning for breakfast. Lovely food. Welcoming staff. Lovely warm and cosy cafe.

What a lovely way to pass awhile with lovely food, staff and surroundings

What a class little spot this place is. And the food was fantastic

Spent two days in Belfast and had breakfast here both days. Such a cute place with great food!! Wonderful service and vibes. We loved it

Called for afternoon tea on Sunday. We had prebooked, the restaurant was very busy but we were seated quickly and staff were polite and friendly. The atmosphere is nice, it's a quirky restaurant and super dog friendly but unfortunately the food wasn't great. We've had a lot of afternoon teas, this one had white bread sandwiches only cut into rough triangles; rost beef, ham and Mustard and cornation chicken. Then a plain scone each, the scones were warm but not freshly baked warm more microwaved "springy" warm. They would have been better left at room temperature and a selection of cute treats which were clearly frozen and defrosted as they were so soggy. The macaroons were really good but everything else was very wet, giving off Iceland vibes. No chocolate strawberries as mentioned on their website and it just didn't look as fancy. It's not an overly expensive after tea at £19.50 but I still feel it should have been better quality. People around us were having brunch, frys etc and that all looked really good so perhaps we will give it another go.
