Reviews
Had a fantastic meal here tonight. I'm a 'fussy' eater but nothing was too much trouble catering to my wants. The food was delicious! It was that good we ended up having 3 courses. Full to bursting. All the Staff were absolutely great and the place had a lovely buzz about it. Next time we're in Belfast we'll be booking in advance so as not to miss out on a table. Go on, treat yourselves, you'll not regret it!
We chose Mourne because we were looking for a light dinner after days of celebrations. Because of that we intentionally stayed away from certain dishes that would have probably been very tasty and that are often named in reviews. We were hoping instead to start with oysters, which apparently they do extremely well. Unfortunately when we got in they told us they were all out of them. Understandable as it was early days of the year, but also a bit of a bummer for someone who chose that place also because of that specialty. Starters were nice and abundant. We loved that the menu offered a full seabream, a true rarity in Ireland where fish is almost always served filleted. We found the fish well cooked but also not particularly tasty. I don't think the choice of cooking it in tomato sauce improved the experience. The staff was super friendly and we had a few laughs. A shame that the part of the restaurant where they put us was absolutely empty and felt a bit cold.
The BEST seafood chowder, seafood casserole and squid ink risotto! The mussels and all the other seafood were fresh. Service was friendly and great ambience. What a way to start our Belfast trip!
The services were excellent, and all the staff members were kind and attentive. The food was fantastic and fresh, and even the dessert was delicious. However, one thing to note was that they concluded the total price with a service charge for the first contact, which felt a bit like a pressure tactic.
Absolutely fantastic food in a lovely atmosphere. We had the seafood chowder, langoustine won ton, scallop and chorizo risotto and the seabass. Everything was so flavoursome and fresh.
