Holohans Pantry - Belfast

Simply loved this place. so much attention from the servers to the owners. excellent recommendations to eat and drink. as an American first time in earth, was looking for somewhere with authentic recipes and found it here. we had the boxty court, a seafood and a steak. both were amazing! Never before had it seafood in a crumb, but it tasted fantastic! I regret it, my last night was in belfast. can't wait to eat again!

Just a fantastic dinner. The kitchen produces high quality family Irish recipes. The staff budgets two hours for your table, so relax and enjoy the best of Belfast. The pork belly was fantastic. To avoid being disappointed, make reservations for the weekends.

The best in the town! We didn't book but luckily got a table near the window. We order mussels, pork&beer duo and seafood boxty. All of them are delicious, you can feel that every dish is carefully prepared and well cooked. Must go if you visit Belfast.

Lunch date today and since it's only around the corner, we decided to go to Holohan's Pantry. Sister restaurant to Holohan's The Barge, recently opened a few months ago hoping to compete with other restaurants in the Botanic QUB area. Very friendly welcome on arrival from an enthusiastic host, sat down in the rear area of the restaurant where it can get a bit dark, but there were plenty of seats in the lighter parts. Quick service (admittedly there weren't many others in) and a very relaxed atmosphere. Decided to go for the Confit Chicken Bacon Boxty, definitely a great choice. Deliciously light and crispy potato pancake, absolutely stuffed full of chicken and bacon well coated in a very moreish sauce, with a side of chunky chips (they were pretty damn chunky). Other half went with a very light Salmon and Goats Cheese which looked great and apparently tasted great too. Set Buttermilk dessert was ordered and arrived looking very impressive with a walnut chutney and some shortbread. Extremely wobbly, hilariously so. Would have wobbled off the plate and out the door if you blew on it in the right direction. Host/waiter was nice and friendly throughout, give us a nice wee farewell on leaving. 5 Boxty's out of 5. Would wobble again.

As an international student I took the time out of my weeks to eat my way through Belfast. Holohans was my absolute favorite little restaurant. My server, Calvin, was extremely knowledgeable about all of the food and wine, and made the whole experience fantastic. The wine selection is superb and the food was even better. The steak and Guinness boxty is a must-have, the bacon chop was delicious, all the appetizers were incredible and the Guinness pudding for dessert was to die for. I would recommend this place to everyone.
