  “We went today 4pm and our waiter was very helpful and friendly. I remembered he had served us last year also and how polite he was though unfortunately I didnt get name. We had starters just while my son had 2course meal and the seafood chowder and goats cheese fritters was so nice! I could have easily ate more. The barmaids were also pleasant and helpful. Will be returning! My son also loved the music that was been played”

  “Exceptional Lunch Experience at The Northern Whig – Thank You, Jesus! My partner and I recently stopped into The Northern Whig during our holiday in Belfast, and I am so glad we chose this spot for lunch. While the atmosphere was great, the highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the service provided by our waiter, Jesus. He went above and beyond to ensure our experience was perfect. As visitors looking to try authentic local flavors, we took his recommendation for the seafood chowder, which was absolutely delicious and exactly what I was hoping for. He also suggested a fantastic strawberry daiquiri mocktail that was a wonderful treat. Our entire meal was a success thanks to his guidance. My partner thoroughly enjoyed the squid starter and the salad he recommended for their main, both of which were excellent choices. It is rare to receive such attentive and thoughtful service. Jesus’s genuine hospitality and expertise truly elevated our lunch, and he is a massive credit to The Northern Whig team. We had such a pleasant time that we will certainly be recommending this place to others visiting Belfast. Thank you again, Jesus, for making our holiday lunch so memorable!”

  “The Northern Whig is the ultimate Belfast spot for a sunny afternoon. Grab a Jubel peach beer, it’s summer in a glass and head out to the sunshine-soaked beer garden. ​It is a prime location for people watching, where you’ll see the city’s creative soul on parade; musicians wandering by with instruments and locals sporting a truly one-off dress sense. Best of all, there is bicycle parking right outside, so you can keep a watchful eye on your bike while you soak in the atmosphere. ​Short, sweet, and perfectly Belfast. Enjoy! 😉”

  “Visiting from Scotland and first time at The Northern Whig. The service from arrival to end was excellent. Our server knew the menu and was able to promptly answer any questions we had. The food was cooked to perfection and we'll presented. We felt the cost was well balanced for quality of meal and portion size. Hope to get an opportunity to visit again before heading home.”

  “Shame. Went in for a lazy Sunday afternoon for some pints and dessert. Simple you say...? Not in here. Firstly sat opposite the bar and I went to order drinks for me and my partner along with dessert for my daughter. Was told at the bar, sorry only drinks allowed at that particular seating. I replied ok, where can we sit to order drinks and dessert and was told 1 sec until I ask then was told sorry no table service is available right now. I looked around and pointed out there was plenty of seating and was told no - sorry. Got our drinks and explained to our daughter sorry you can't have dessert in here unfortunately. Second time we have came in here on a Sunday afternoon and has been utter confusion around seating arrangements each time by staff. I thought in this day in age nobody refused business. Maybe making too much money and desert on its own wouldn't be worth the hassle for them to serve. Why oh why......?”

  “Was here for Mother’s Day lunch and had a fantastic meal. Fish and chips were amazing and my wife loved her roast dinner. Desert was a little dry but honestly I still really enjoyed mine! Would highly recommend!”

  “Great restaurant with friendly staff and delicious food. I had the whiskey chicken stack and the potatoes were perfection. The gravy and chicken were excellent. The place was moderately quiet and you could have nice conversations with dinner while hearing pleasant music in the background. The appetizers were wonderful, especially the spicy, hot, crispy chicken.”

  “A fantastic place to eat from start to finish. The food was superb, with an extensive and well-thought-out menu offering plenty of choice. The interior is stylish and welcoming, creating a great atmosphere, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality on offer. We ate here before a concert at St Anne’s, and its location just down the street made it incredibly convenient. The drinks menu is equally impressive, with an excellent selection of beers and expertly made cocktails. An outstanding spot for food and drinks, and one I would highly recommend.”
