Amazing food and service. Food was out of this world good! Definitely a must go to if you are here! Highly recommend the Fisherman’s Curry and Fisherman’s Burger. Also the Salt and Chilli Squid starter... really yummy!

— Ben

Excellent friendly service. Food was really nice & we didn't wait too long for it to arrive. One of our group left her bag & when she returned staff had it safe for her behind the counter. Thanks so much. Our server was a really nice guy.

— John

Ordered our food and only took less than 10 minutes. Top of the range Guiness too. Unreal staff … showing us directions as well. Thanks for the grub, better than most the spots in Dublin. We will be back. Belfast on top.

I called in here the other day as I was out shopping with the wife and I decided to get food and let her shop away. I ordered the seafood chowder and I must say it's the best I’ve ever tasted. I then decided to order a fish and chip which was mouth watering. The batter was like nothing I've tasted before. I got talking to the manager about the fish and learned they where MSC-certified. I had never heard of this before but it was so interesting that they can tell me the sea it came from, the boat it came off, and that they fish in sustainable waters.

I honestly cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. From the minute we were greeted at the door by the owner to the minute the manager waved us off, we had an absolutely wonderful time. The staff are attentive but not intrusive and happy to help with suggestions and offer advice.

The food choices were superb and the food that was brought out was simply outstanding. Piping hot, plenty of flavour and so fresh. A wonderful experience for me and my mum. We cannot wait to go back.

Our waiter was the most pleasant chap who attended to our every wish and was good for the banter. We had a shared a squid starter followed by mussels and fish and bottomless chips. These chips are the real McCoy. There are no words to describe how good it all was. They have an extensive menu, catering for every possible taste, and a superb drinks offering to complement your meal. It’s definitely our new favourite in Belfast now. We will return for sure.

— John

There are a lot of restaurants to choose from in Belfast but make sure this is one of them!

The most amazing fish dinner we have ever eaten and I don’t say that lightly. The service, the restaurant ambience, the cleanliness and then the food.

— Lynette

Wow, the food and service were out of this world! Our server was a diamond - nothing was too much for him, and he answered all our questions about the menu and Belfast. Sticky toffee pudding and the mussels are an absolute must. Enjoyed everything we had. Can’t recommend it enough! Would definitely return if we ever came back to Belfast.

— Jessica

My wife & I really enjoyed Fish City. Not only because of the quality of the food & service but because this was literally our first Dining Out experience because of the Pandemic in over a year.

Food was excellent. Our Server was more than helpful and also very pleasant to deal with! We ate outside in unusually kind Belfast weather and the table distancing was spot on.

— Doug

We went twice to this lovely seafood restaurant in the centre of Belfast, thrilled by the wonderful fresh and well prepared seafood, enhanced by an excellent choice of wine and gin and served by some of the most friendly, efficient and hospitable staff we have ever met on our world travels. Definitely recommended!

— Murdoch

Popular and crowded restaurant in city center. As starter I had the fish chowder. Just the way I want a fish soup. Creamy with lots of fish and vegetables. Almost everyone had the fish and chips so that I had. A nice piece of cod. Crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked. As dessert I had a chocolate brownie with mint ice cream. A perfect dessert. Very good espresso.

— Mats

Stopped off for something to eat in Belfast and came across this restaurant. From the moment we entered, the staff were friendly and the food was delicious. I can honestly say I haven’t enjoyed fish and chips as much as I did here. Very happy to recommend a visit and you get unlimited chips with your fish! What’s not to love?

— Francis

We are in Belfast for our honeymoon and chose to spend our first evening eating at Fish City. We were blown away by the incredible service and even more so by the food.

If you're in the area, you must visit Fish City. This is such a special find!

— Bennett

I couldn’t recommend Fish City enough. Absolutely amazing service and the staff were extremely accommodating. They had a great menu catering for all needs. We will definitely be back and it’s the first place I’d recommend to anybody looking for dinner in Belfast City.

— Ciara

I never leave reviews, but I must say Fish City was excellent, from food to staff! The waiter’s recommendation, cod and mushrooms, lived up to expectation; the starters were brilliant, recommend the sweet chilli squid! The staff are very friendly and they were great with the kids. Lovely place and atmosphere, I would definitely go back! Thanks to all at Fish City!

— Peter

One of our last nights in Belfast and the dinner was fantastic. We didn't have a reservation and went a bit early, but they were able to seat us quickly. Our waiter was very engaging and gave us the perfect amount of attention. The fish and chips and Fish City Kiev were excellent. The Salted Carmel Sticky Pudding was the best we had in Belfast.

— Carol

We called into Fish City for dinner while on a weekend break in Belfast and it was a great decision. The food and staff are absolutely top class. The menu has a fantastic choice of fish dishes with lots of information on sustainably of fish species and locally sourced fish. Highly recommended and looking forward to a return visit soon.

— Derek

Had a fantastic night! Had Strangford mussels for the first time for starters and now all mussels I try will have to match up to them. Our server was great and really made the night. Award winning fish and chips definitely deserves their award!

— Anne

This place was great, we were there as part of the taste and tour. Love they are plastic free and really ethical in their ingredients. The food was delicious, we had a fish taco and chips. Beautiful and awesome cider too.

— Joan

I've been wanting to eat in Fish City for a long time and was not disappointed. The chips were like proper 'chippy' chips. The staff are very friendly which means there was a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

— Helen

This restaurant is the best and my absolute favourite restaurant in Belfast! Not only is the food 10/10 the staff are unbelievably accommodating and the friendliest that I have come across in my time in Northern Ireland! Can’t wait to get back!

— Cóilín

Lovely little fish restaurant in the heart of Belfast city. The atmosphere was really great, the fish was amazing and the staff super friendly.

— Marie

Ordered some takeout chips with curry sauce and went to eat them near the Beacon of Hope, so delicious! Very satisfying lunch. Friendly service as well.

— Bronwen

OK. So. I've been a lot of places in my day, and I will dare to say Fish City on Ann Street in Belfast, Northern Ireland has the best Haddock & Chips, bar none. Period. Full stop.

— Kevin

There's a story about a fisherman and a businessman that tells the tale around the simplicities in life. The fish recipe developed by John and Team abides by this philosophy. I've been fortunate to enjoy fish a plenty, in many different varieties and there are opportunities to expand on what is a classic recipe. What the team does here is take the simple tradition of fish and chips and incorporate a fresh, sustainable catch, with a light crust and simple sea salt to perfection. Light, flaky and full of flavour. This is a spot that rightfully deserves the accolades its received and are yet to come. You add great food with great people, like Stacy and you have an experience that's elevated above your local chip shop. Take the time to enjoy this establishment, and be a part of it's ever expanding story.

Great find during the Pride Parade. It wasn't crowded so we thought we'd give it a try. Well, it turned out to be my favorite restaurant of all! The chowder was great and came with a delicious dark bread. We also ordered the award winning Fish & Chips which were amazing. We had a phenomenal dessert with coffee and finally the best service of all the restaurants we visited! The team worked as one to ensure everything was delivered on time, checked in frequently without hurrying us, and just really cared about our experience. This was a great find on our tour of Ireland. Stumbled upon it and am so grateful we did!! Go, you won't regret it, I promise! My favorite restaurant in Ireland!

— Pat

Had lunch for my sisters 30th birthday here on Saturday and there is not one thing we could fault. Customer service was 10/10, Margaret was absolutely fantastic.

Cocktails were fabulous and all made fresh to order, they even made a few that weren't on the menu for the birthday girl. The best thing tho about our visit was the fritto misto for four people. There was a massive selection to share, from crab, prawns, fish and squid along with chips. It was all so tasty and honestly amazing value at £20 a head. We will definitely be back soon

— Kellie

A fantastic experience here for a Saturday lunch for our dining club which meets monthly. We had excellent service from friendly and well trained staff who looked after us brilliantly. The food was stunningly good and a lovely selection of well priced wines. There were 11 of us- EVERYONE LOVED their meal! We had a fabulous experience here and would thoroughly recommend this city centre restaurant. Great location for transport links and plenty of pubs, bars and shops in the area to continue the Belfast experience!

— Lynda

If you're a seafood lover seeking an extraordinary culinary adventure, I highly recommend visiting this establishment. From the incredible freshness of the Japanese Oysters to the mouthwatering Haddock fish and chips and sea bass dishes, every aspect of our meal was outstanding. This seafood restaurant deserves nothing less than five stars, and I can't wait to return on my next visit to Ireland!

— Arash

We drove 50 miles to try Fish City after seeing on Instagram. Food was outstanding, will be back again. We had chowder, Dim Sum; crab tempura; fish Kiev; roasted cod risotto; and desserts were stunning. Apple Tart Tartin was described as best ever eaten by someone who has eaten lots in France. The nougat parfait was moreish. Staff lovely, giving advise.

— Amanda

Fantastic wee spot nestled in Belfast City Centre. We had the seafood platter for two and it was great value for money - the crab was to die for & squid melt in the mouth. Would definitely recommend.

— Emma

Stacey our server was a joy. The restaurant was warm and music lovely. Seafood linguine was delicious and the oyster and cocktails were lovely.

— Claire

Very accommodating, especially for a family member with mobility issues. Food was fantastic, service very good. Great all around experience.

— Michael

First visit to Fish City, l'd been trying to get for a while and finally managed to get there, well I wasn't disappointed. We were a party of 4 and all had different meals. We all had three courses and each of us really enjoyed them all. Service was efficient and friendly, the staff engaged well with us and took time to answer any queries. We will be back, 40 mile trip but worth it.

— Stephen

A great evening out. Everyone made us feel very welcome and accommodated my dietary requests. I hadn't been able to find anything suitable for lunch so l was v pleased to tuck in to the delicious veggies, fish and chips which were all beautifully done. My parents were celebrating their wedding anniversary a day early as we had to fly back the next day and it was a lovely evening. My Dad was v pleased with his sticky toffee pudding and the blueberry and almond tart was also delicious.

— Claire

Had a wonderful meal. Kevin and his team including our charming waitress Isobel ensured we had a fantastic evening. The food was all totally delicious, the service outstanding, our only regret is that we live in South Wales so cannot make it our regular restaurant. Thank you so much for making our last evening in Belfast such a great one.

— Jane

Best mussels ever and terrific fish and chips. We wish we were in Belfast another night to go back and try some oysters!

— Cindy

We love calling in for food when visiting Belfast. Top marks all the time. Fish is always top quality and it's a classy place with a nice atmosphere. Staff are always very welcoming and helpful. We will be back on our next visit. Thanks!

— Barry

A really wonderful dining experience. The attentive staff service serving delicious food in relaxed but chic surroundings. The many appealing main course options made choosing a dish difficult but what a nice problem to have. Highly recommended.

Alles vom Feinsten - absolut empfehlenswert! Everything at its finest - absolutely recommended!
