Deanes Deli - Belfast

A excellent good value meal. Good selection of starters , mains and desserts for a reasonable price . Excellent friendly service . Room was initially very quiet but got very busy with excellent atmosphere

Was treated to a late birthday meal here by my better half. we arrived slightly early and were shown to the bar area to sit in comfort for a pre dinner drink with apologies for our table not being quite ready (even though our fault for being early). We were then taken through to our table by a very polite and attentive waitress who gave us the time and space to make our orders. The food was as you would expect absolutely amazing and the portion size was in my mind the exact right amount (none of this micro portions). I can highly recommend the Scallops starter and the Monkfish main course. We felt the pricing was also spot on for the standard of the food and quality of service. As an additional note being an accessibility toilet user due to a condition this place has one of the BEST accessibility facilities that i have seen in a restaurant with anything and everything being catered for despite your medical condition. An amazing meal, facilities and staff and we shall certainly be returning in the future.

As usual our choice from the lunch menu was really tasty haddock, risotto linguine. Unfortunately this is now the second time I have been here in recent times when the service has been poor. Other than when we were seated, we had to try and get the attention of the staff on 3 occasions, firstly to order our lunch and then a further 2 times to order drinks. Staff were scarce on the floor and appeared to be under pressure.

Food well cooked and tasty enough. But for a tapas menu in the wine bar, unimaginative and left wanting. Maybe they do this to introduce you to the other menu in the main restaurant, which we did and found portion control to be a tad too extreme. Price point was a tad gougey for the food. On the upside, a decent enough wine list which showed some imagination and wasn't gougey. Probably wouldn't go back, other than for a glass of wine as there are far too many other places in Belfast offering good imaginative food at the right price point. On aside, Does Michael Deane love himself of what??? The decor showed nothing but images and portraits of himself. Even row upon row of empty bottles of a sartorial image of him.

Had another great meal in this reliable and great quality restaurant. Four of us enjoyed delicious food, with excellent service and it didn’t cost the earth. Lovely wines and an excellent bubbly atmosphere. 100% reliable!
