Staying in city center, we were looking for a good meal from a spot open on Tuesday and we were faced with limited options. We walked 2 blocks to the lantern and had one of the best meals of our 12 day holiday. If we ever come back to Belfast, we are coming here again.

My partner and I finished off a day in Belfast with a meal at the Hoose. We have been here before on several occasions. The place has had a refit during lockdown and it looks amazing! As always we were greated and shown to our table by Ross. He is always so friendly, asking us about our day out and taking an interest in what we had been at. It's so hard to make a decision on what to have! Finally we both settled on squid to start followed by the salmon. The Hoose has a new chef and with him and Sarah in the kitchen the food was exceptional. I would have included pictures but it looked and smelt so good I decided just to eat instead! The atmosphere, service and food at the Hoose are second to none. Its so lovely to see sarah and her team back doing what they do best. Thank you again for another fantastic meal.
