Such a solid spot in Belfast. We came here for lunch because the menu offered Vegan and Gluten Free options which I needed due to allergies and it was great. The staff was knowledgeable and attentive which is always appreciated, even down to the cocktails - FYI the spiced coconut margarita was so good!! Definitely worth a visit.
This spot impresses with its exquisite atmosphere, exceptional service, and a menu that showcases remarkable flavors and creativity.

Server was excellent. I asked for a gluten free options and he gave me the menu and chatted to me about it. The atmosphere of the place was really good and the food was amazing. It's hard to find a good gluten free burger around and this place delivered
Lush decor and a popular vibe create a lovely atmosphere, making it a great spot for enjoying a cozy meal with friends or family.

Honestly one of the best Italian meals I’ve had, we arrived and went to the bar for a gin and tonic where the bar man took the time to tell us about a local gin and the meaning behind the name of it (jawbox) -totally worth a try… and the we were seated upstairs by a lovely chatty young lady. Our server named Josh was very attentive and kind. Now. When we arrived I said I was a coeliac, and I told the girl on the way to the table, but I forgot to tell poor Josh. So when our food arrive and I suspiciously asked, the poor lad had to take it all back. I felt like a total arse, not his fault at all, it was my fault, but he took it back and had it made fresh. He then apologised and brought us a complimentary Prosecco each. What a darling. I felt awful but he was so kind.
Now let me tell you, I don’t eat Italian very often because of the gluten thing, but tonight my show was stopped and my fast was flabbered by the scallop gnocchi, honestly it was the best thing I’ve eaten in a restaurant in a decade. Staggering
Well done to the chef, the best texture was unbelievable and the mix of flavours is like nothing I’ve had before. BRAVO!!!
You honestly have made a grumpy coeliac very bloody happy. I would recommend this place to anyone who has a gluten intolerance and misses the beautiful texture of real Italian cuisine.
I will be back. Thank you Josh, you are a darling x
This cozy pizzeria in the heart of Belfast is bustling with energy, offering a range of delicious pizzas and a clever table reservation system.

Awesome pizzeria! The place is small but well organized. The pizza was very good! I ordered the gluten-free option and it was delicious. They also serve nice wine. Staff is nice and prices are reasonable. Recommended!

Was surprised at the massive menu… joking, loved it 👌🏽
Had a cheese burger (medium well done) with sweet potato fries.
My partner had a gluten cheese burger (medium done) and shoestring fries (skinny fries)
The best option was she is Gluten intolerant, so we were happy we found the gluten free bun on the option for her, so I would recommend here, and would definitely come back

Good place to eat if you are celiac. They have gluten-free food and they are careful.
Good service.
I went to eat late so I didn't have to wait to get in and they served me the food quickly.
It is located inside the shopping center.
The only thing I have to say is the cost. The food seemed expensive, but especially the drink. For a Coca-Cola and a small pizza it was almost €20
Discover a hidden gem with great deals, quick service, and a vibe that keeps you coming back for more!

Pizza was nice, even the gluten free, but the waitress was deluded. Cold, very hard to catch her eye for a drink for the kids, no sense of customer experience

Had our wedding anniversary celebration here. Loved it.
Food.... steak amazing and reflective of the price...probably the best I've had so far.
Wife was happy with the curry dish.
Good menu with very good gluten free options
Desserts very good too
Drinks...great choice of beers, wines and cocktails.
Staff...waiting staff are great. Funny but sincere and very interactive
Surroundings...we sat wondering what the building was before...like years ago as it is modern but has kept the old coving and plaster faces at the ceiling.
Kitchen staff punctured to look after everyone as you can clearly see them working away but overall a brilliant atmosphere.
Five star in my book.
I will be back very soon.
Thanks for making our anniversary a memorable one.

I found this restaurant on Google maps because it was close to the Opera House where I was going after the meal and it catered for gluten free people which my friend is
On entering the restaurant I was greeted by one of the staff who showed me and my friend to the table. We chose from the Pre Theatre menu at £29.50 for 3 courses plus £5.75 for a glass of house red wine. I ordered leek and potato soup with bread, for the main course I ordered a 6oz Irish beef burger with bacon and cheese, chunky chips and a rocket salad, then apple crumble and ice cream.... My friend had vegetable fitters with pesto, then chicken breast with peppercorn sauce, champ and vegetables, then lemon posset and ice cream. Mmm great food, great service and great atmosphere. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Perfect for a cozy catch-up, this spot offers delicious treats and generous portions, making every visit a delightful experience.

Trust menu, 5 courses with 4 wines to accompany. Small courses but altogether quite filling. You get to guess what is in each course and after you finish the waiter/waitress tells you what it was. They cater for gluten free etc
Ordered gluten free dough balls for 4 servings, I was sent 10 dough balls. Have ordered this before and it was a ton of them. This time not so much. Charged 15 pounds for 10 small balls of bread. Totally ridiculous and the phone number to contact the store is not working. Very disappointed.
Touted by the Michelin guide, this stylish spot excels in a vibrant atmosphere and impressive service, making every visit memorable.

Cyprus Avenue is hands down my favourite place for a Sunday lunch in East Belfast. The menu, presentation, service, ingredients are creative, fresh and flawless. Seafood and vegan options are spot on. My celiac friend has never had any issues with GF and DF options. Coffee is great with dairy free alternatives. I love their outdoor seating on a sunny day. Honestly, it's a joy to be there from 'hello' to 'see you soon'. Roadside parking is the only little thing I could do without; it's hard to find a spot nearby on a busy day. Five stars overall. (Sorry, no pics atm. I'm always so excited to eat there that I dig in straight away. I'll have to remember to take some photos next time :)
Enjoy a cozy atmosphere with great prices, beautiful meals, and some of the crispiest chicken wings in town!

We called in here on Monday evening for a family meal and we were very impressed. We had a coeliac with us and were pleased to find out they had a dedicated gluten free menu and also loads of gluten free options on the main menu. The prices were great and the food was beautiful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good priced beautiful meal in Belfast and to anyone with any food allergies or intolerances. The staff were so accommodating and friendly. The bar itself was lovely and super cosy. Also if you like chicken wings this is the place to go, the wings were super crispy but also super saucy at the same time which I find it so hard to get anywhere.

Wow. A fantastic Italian. Every time I go here I'm impressed with the service but most of all the food. I had a tomato based dish (sorry can't remember which!) and it was out of this world. The meatballs starter was seriously tasty too. Goats cheese polenta which we've had before is very good too.
My partner had carbonara and was less impressed - she said it was OK but not amazing. However that's her experience and mine was epic so giving this five stars.
They do the best 0% beer - Heineken - on draft. Best 0% beer I've ever tasted.
They even do gluten free pasta. If you're into Italian food, I don't think you'll be disappointed (although I've never been to Italy so take that with a grain of salt maybe!)
Outstanding variety and quality make it a lively spot, though it can get quite loud when big groups gather.

We had a gluten free diner with us and they were very helpful and spent time ensuring she felt well provided for and secure in their processes.
It can be loud which might be off putting for some. There were two large groups celebrating when we were there. The staff coped with them well.

My mum and I needed gluten and dairy free options and the accommodated very well. My mum is coeliac and gets very sick with the smallest crumb, they warned her that there's no guarantee that there won't be cross contamination but we've been twice and she's been perfectly fine after both visits.

Our server Madison was so lovely, attentive and made sure we were all taken care of for the whole duration of our meal. She made sure that our dietary requirements were prioritised as we had a gluten free person in our party. Overall experience was 10/10. We will definitely be back!

The food here is excellent - everything is pretty simple and really well done. The cocktails are top class, a proper authentic margarita experience (I'd especially recommend the mezcal margarita).
There's good gluten free options and veggie/vegan options.
The decor and general ambience of the place is pretty casual given the price of things, which is the only thing that maybe let's it down.
Also worth noting hat a 10% service charge is automatically baked into your receipt.
Overall, a reliable and tasty place to enjoy Mexican.

My wife decided to go to Frankie & Benny's after shopping. She had been when they first opened a long time ago. The food pricing on the menu seemed fair, considering costs at other vendors. However when the food arrived, it was a culture shock, it was frozen skinny fries out of a packet, frozen onion rings out of a packet. My son's burger is from the gluten free menu, so I understand how difficult it, but it was also a frozen burger pattie, in a frozen bun. Honestly the only thing that I'm thinking had any technical attachment was the chicken melts with cheese & bacon, unfortunately it was cooked that long it was like nawing beef jerky. Avoid like the plaque, don't waste your money, almost £50, for this food from the 90's, disgraceful even charging for this kind of food. My advice is get a proper chef. Someone who takes a bit of pride in there cookery skills & knowledge.
A group of 8 of us met here last Wednesday night and had a really lovely time. Food and service were excellent- the staff were excellent and so accommodating. Great selection of dishes on menu with coeliac options. Would definitely go back when n cut in Belfast.

Disappointed. The beef doube was bland and needed a lot of salt to try and get some flavour out of it.
Apparently the chicken was really good.
A shame staff didn't ask how the meal was otherwise we would have given feedback.
We left hungry
Staff were really lovely and there are gluten free options available
REALLY overpriced for what it was.
Terrible GF options - left with very bland meal. Foods that should have been naturally gluten free I was strictly told I was 'Not allowed' such as egg or tofu, which was confusing.
Enjoy a variety of creative desserts and an interesting selection of vegan ice creams and dairy-free alternatives to coffee.
