Seafood · Belfast
Tucked into a small room that smells of fresh seafood the moment you walk in, this is a proper Belfast seafood spot that happens to look after families — high chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access and a few outdoor tables when the weather plays along. Be warned that tables sit close together, so a pram needs parking rather than pulling alongside, and it can feel loud even when it isn't full. Booking is worth doing, especially early evening. Food arrives from an attentive team who cope well with a busy room. The chowder gets talked about endlessly, the fish and chips comes with tartare sauce people rave about, and the parmesan fries keep small hands occupied. Portions are generous for the price. The menu clearly flags shellfish, which is a genuine help if someone has an allergy.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
