About The Mad Hatter Café Belfast

Brunch is the main event here, and it's the kind of place where a family group can settle in without anyone feeling watched. Portions are generous for the price — the Belfast baps with egg, sausage and bacon get named again and again, alongside the full fry, the pancakes and a vegetarian option, and there's cheesecake if anyone's earned it. The outdoor seating is lovely on a sunny day and gives you somewhere to park a buggy, with high chairs, a kids' menu and free parking making the logistics easy. Staff are friendly and quick, and the place is kept spotless. Worth knowing: it's busy with a constant flow of customers, and one parent waited around 25 minutes for breakfast, so it's not the spot for a child at the end of their tether. Do look at the bathroom wallpaper.
