Town Square

Was in Belfast on the night before valentine’s day as a group of 13. We booked ahead as it was expected to be busy. We arrived at the time of our booking for a large table already waiting for us, and that was just the beginning of a smooth evening.
We were asked to order a set valentine’s day menu which we weren’t aware of ahead of time, however, at 21£ for a three course meal including a glass of Cava wine it was a really good deal anyhow.
I ordered the goats cheese bruschetta and substituted the onion and beetroot relish for chilli jam for a starter, which was delicious.
I then ordered roast chicken with mash and chorizo for main and again was not disappointed. The real highlight though was the desserts. Every single dessert on the menu sounded amazing, so as a large group we ordered everything and split it amongst us. It wasn’t only amazing on the menu, but they were all absolutely divine. In fact, it’s really hard to please a large group of people, but everyone was really happy with everything they ordered.
On top of that, the décor of the place was really lovely and cosy. Everything seemed really thought out and the design was really, really cool.
The staff too were very lovely and accommodating. We ended up staying from 8:30 all the way to close as we were having such a great time here.
At the end of the night, the women in the group were even given roses in light of the valentine’s day holiday. We had a really great time here all round and I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Belfast or living around the queen’s quarter area.

One of the eat coffee shops/​cafes in Belfast. These guys have done a brilliant job in decorating their venue. The coffee and hot chocolate is outstanding. Food is excellent.
**Highly recommended!**

Recently opened coffee house /​restaurant. Popped in to settle the curiosity and the coffee did not disappoint one bit. First thing that you’ll notice is the level of investment and attention to detail on the interior. Glanced over the menu, quite a few items stuck out, opted for the fry and I cannot remember any time where a fry was presented better. Taste matched the looks, incredible and very reasonably priced. Looking forward to trying other dishes. I’d recommend for anything from a morning coffee, a working lunch or a late afternoon refill. Service was great, prompt and kept immaculately clean.

WHAT’S UP from the American girl who has developed a strange affinity for Belfast and all places in the North of Ireland. I stumbled upon Belfast last Spring, before Townsq. was open and went back in the Winter (because why not?)… and VOILA! I was surprised as a new café was born.
I kept hearing about this place from friends of mine, as it was all the hype. I went in there with a friend, looking for something «healthy» to eat and some coffee for our killer headaches (hungover? maybe). We had some acai bowls and espresso which was INSANE and did not help our headaches, but holy hell, if you are a caffeine junkie… look out, you won’t be disappointed.
The next two days I found myself in there – once alone, as I enjoyed the ambiance and friendliness of the place, and a second time because two friends wanted to meet there for breakfast.
I genuinely took to the smiles of the staff, the quality of the food, and the passion which the owners obviously have for this place.
I am not a big Unilocaler, but I figured, «Ah, they have so few reviews! And they’re so great! I MUST GIVE INPUT.»
And alas, a review. I will be back.

A must for coffee geeks. Interior fit out is gorgeous. Just what Botanic needed. Yay!
