Modern European · Belfast
A big, open room on the Andersonstown Road with plenty of space to park a pram beside the table, and a car park right outside — which matters when you're unloading a car seat in the rain. The team here get consistently good marks for patience and warmth; several families mention being squeezed in at short notice, and food arriving fast, which is everything when a toddler's gone past the point of waiting. Portions are sensible rather than enormous, and there's a full vegetarian menu alongside the mains people rave about — the satay chicken, the bean burger, the turkey and stuffing. High chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor seating are all there. Prices sit at proper town level rather than cheap, and it books up, so ring ahead at weekends.
