  “We visited here this morning - 8 of us. Lovely setting, surroundings. The music, the food, the staff were excellent! HIGHLY recommend if you’re taking a trip to Belfast! We had the steak sandwich and it was 11/10.”

  “Nice interior but some of the staff kinda sassy which was uncalled for. We were a table of 5 and ordered 4 coffees and one tea and they took ages to come because there was only one barista (not her fault!) but when she brought them over felt like it was our fault with how she spoke to us. Had the Irish breakfast and it was really nice. The waiting staff were lovely and helpful. Not sure I’d go back though”

  “Harlem is the best restaurant we have eaten at. The staff was fantastic and the food was even better. I recommend this place to anyone who loves great food and amazing service. They made me fresh cream for my French Toast. Lu from 🇨🇦”

  “We were recommended this lovely place by the front desk lady at our hotel, and we’re so glad we listened. The Harlem Belfast restaurant was one of our favorite places that we visited in all of Ireland/Northern Ireland. It’s so unique and you can tell that Fay, the owner, has poured her heart and soul into her restaurant. She was a delight to meet, and to talk to. 17 years of amazing food, beautiful people, creative baristas, and true Irish friendliness. Don’t miss out on visiting this heavenly Belfast oasis.”

  “Vibe out the door. I happened to be playing at the Hall next door. I was walking around looking for a breakfast spot and noticed there was quite the que. It was a slammed Saturday morning shift. I waited about an hour to get seated. It was well worth it. I suffer from food allergies and finding spots in the states that can accommodate is difficult. The culture and attitude towards food allergies here and across the UK is such a profound difference that it is staggering. It’s wild to be able to relax and enjoy a meal. I ordered the vegan breakfast to catch up on veggies and was very satisfied. I was quick to tell the boys in the band and a few visited after me. I decided to return for an early dinner. It was totally empty at 5:25. I was able to walk right in. They had just switched to the dinner menu. I had noticed there was a menu on this Google maps page that had a fish and chips type item. I put my jacket back on to leave and the lead server stopped me and asked what I wanted. I mentioned I had noticed the fish and chips and was hoping for it. He said “no problem” and sorted it out. It made me feel like a rockstar. Very happy with my two meals here today. The staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely a great spot.”

The staff are wonderful, the service impeccable, and the food is incredible; beautifully presented with plentiful portions too. Super fun atmosphere with adorable eclectic decor and comfy seating. Hope to be back whenever we visit Belfast. Highly recommend!”

  “Service wasn’t friendly and we got unfortunate (and uncomfortable) seating right next to the food prep area, despite having booked in advance. Sourdough was a bit burnt. Presentation of meals was great and decor was cool. Not expensive either! Wouldn’t return though”

  “Such a beautiful place with an amazing atmosphere. The food was incredible and everyone in our group really enjoyed their meals—I’d definitely recommend the Irish breakfast! The staff were brilliant and even brought over a free shot for the bride-to-be while playing “Going to the Chapel,” which was such a fun and memorable touch. Thank you for a lovely experience!”

  “You’re walking the streets of Belfast and you got the urge for some breakfast. Harlem cafe is your destination for excellent service, atmosphere, and delicious food. This place was packed and it was for a reasons. The owner sat next to us and took our order. We did not wait long for our drinks and food. The music set the mood and people sang as songs were played. I highly recommend Harlem cafe when visiting Belfast!”
