About French Village Food Store (South)

French Village Food Store (South) is a licensed cafe with a bakery and deli counter at 353 Lisburn Rd in Belfast. The Croque Monsieur layers ham and Irish white cheddar in a parmesan cheese sauce on sourdough, and the deli also sells it to go. Brunch plates include Mushroom Toast and Chorizo Hashbrowns, and the kitchen turns out pancakes with blueberry or raspberry. Hot drinks run from flat white, with a coconut milk option, to chai latte and cappuccino. A separate store area stocks jams, sauces and coffee beans, alongside sourdough loaves and buns from the bakery. Cakes can be ordered for special occasions.

Customer Review Summary

Brunch is the draw here, with the hashbrown dishes, mushroom toast and pancakes named most often. One diner praised the hashbrown dish with crispy bacon and perfectly cooked poached eggs, another tried the Turkish Eggs, Chorizo Hashbrowns and French Dip across two visits, and the blueberry and raspberry pancakes drew rave reviews from one couple, though another found the pancakes just okay. The croque monsieur is described as delicious, with one reviewer calling it banging and another saying it was good but not outstanding. Flat whites, a chai latte and the sourdough loaves also earn praise. Staff are repeatedly called lovely and friendly, and one server brought a pup cup for a customer's dog. The main complaints are specific: a Bacon & Brie sandwich arrived with mostly fat and undercooked bacon, and a chorizo and chicken focaccia sandwich was less flavourful than it sounded. In response to the bacon complaint, a staff member only said he would tell the chef.

    “We had such a lovely visit today thanks to Grace who was very accommodating to us. She was so friendly and took the time to chat with us and make a fuss of our dog, Molly, which made our visit even more special. She even brought Molly a pup cup, which she absolutely loved and took the time to interact with her! The service was fantastic and great food. We’ll definitely be back – thank you!”

    “We visited here for breakfast on a Sunday morning around 10am and got seated fairly quickly. It wasn't too busy at this time but when we were leaving it was definitely picking up. We were greeted by a lovely young gentleman Oliver, he was friendly, attentive and very pleasant. The food was delicious and the coffee was great too. We'll definitely be back :-)”

    “It was so good we visited twice in three days for brunch! The food is incredible. Between the two visits, we tried the Turkish Eggs, Mushroom Toast, Chorizo Hashbrowns, and the French Dip, and none of it disappointed!! The staff is lovely, the space is cute, and we will be back again.”

    “First time buying pancakes out anywhere today but must say it was worth it. Me and my wife got the blueberry and raspberry pancakes, a chai latte and cappuccino. Must say the pancakes were the best I've ever had, amazing. I also got to try some of the cinnamon topping also and that was amazing too. If your lucky enough that these are still being sold over the next couple of days then definitely try them. Service from the manager( sorry didn't get his name ) was excellent also. P.s the chai latte was delicious”
