With a selection of breads and fillings that would take weeks to fully read, never mind taste it can be a bit overwhelming, but with everything so fresh and flavoursome you'll never get bored with the combinations. And boy are they big, keeping you going way past dinner time! A personal favourite has to be chicken tikka on their crusty baguette but their soups are also great changing all the time and never just a boring vegetable. I would say don't be put off by the queue and you'll never darken the door of a Subway again!

I'm just going to reiterate everything everyone has ever said to me about this deli - it is…read moreawesome! Clean, fresh, warm and welcoming with a huge choice, a good sized portion and a very decent price. The shop itself reminds me of a French deli with all the gorgeous cheeses on display and the shelves which are home to dips, spreads and chutneys! Seriously this is my kind of place! I once had a white chocolate cheesecake in here many moons ago and the image and taste are well engraved in my memory - it looked like something out of a magazine and the taste was thick, creamy yet melting and amazing. I sound like a freak but I will never forget it - haven't tasted one like it since. I can't rave about this place and the food enough - just go, you'll love it!

This makes for a very exciting smell upon entering here in the morning! Fresh baked bread...nothing better! I come here for lunch whenever I'm in the area and sometimes when I'm not! They offer a huge range of delicious fillings and will literally put together any combination you can think up! They're not afraid to give you plenty and the prices a re great too! I'm told they also cater for functions and although have never experienced this side of the business if the food here is anything to go by it'll be a win win combination!!

With out doubt one of the best sandwich shops in the centre of Belfast. These guys really do the…read morebasics very well when it comes to the sandwich. Unlike most other city centre locations they don't mess around with hot sandwiches or paninis etc.. They keep it simple by offering an unreal selection of high quality fresh fillings and salads. The portion sizes are ridiculous (in a good way) they pile so much in it's hard to see how they make any money! My personal fav it's their club sandwich, this easily the biggest sandwich you can buy in Belfast, it's costs just over a fiver but would easily do two people. Along side the quality produce and massive portions the service is second to none. Bob and Christine run it and their banter alone is worth a visit, a nice touch is also the fact they give you a free apple with every sandwich for a healthy desert.

Was here at lunchtime and well impressed. I got a chicken and stuffing sandwich on granary with…read morelettuce and tomato. Then I realised that all salads are free and they fairly fill up the sandwiches and salad bowls look immense. They don't do toasties or hot food. All food is extremely fresh and you can see them chopping up all the vegetables behind, and the chicken is freshly cooked chicken breast not pre-cut frozen bags. Family run friendly business, and great to see these still exist and are going strong. You even get a wee bag of harbio on leaving - be warned he doesn't let you leave unless you take one!!

I came across Fillers quite by accident a few yaers ago and have been a dedicated fan ever since…read more It's a basic kind of place interiors wise and always busy witha bit of a queue but get past that and you'll have a great meal. The food is tasty and homemadey - things like chicken and broccoli bake, chicken and ham pie, lasagne etc, all groaning with real ingredients and big lumps of meat or chicken. This is food like your momma makes, and portions like your granny serves. Servings are enormous and even I feel full after eating here. Each dish comes with a salad which translates as a few leaves and slices of tomato and a big dollop of creamy coleslaw or potato salad and/or chips. I have seen the serving staff having to literally squash the chips on to fit them on the plate. It's not just about big portions, though. The chicken pie has lovely chunky of leeks and mustard seeds for flavour. You an also get gorgeous tray bakes and made to order sandwiches to go if you're in a hurry. I've been to a couple of parties where the hosts have used Fillers as their caterers and am ashamed to say I had three helpings of dinner. I almost had no room left for wine. Almost.

I've been here a handful of times in recent months and on the first occasion I had the Cuban soup…read more Good job I had it then because they have since stopped making it. Annoyingly they still have it on the printed menus, which really should not be the case when it no longer exists. Today I had the Vegetarian Sloppy Joe and on other occasions I've had the Chori-Pan and the rice bowl. Hoping to work my way around the menu. It's tasty.

I really, really like the sandwiches you get in here. I usually go for something pretty basic like chicken, bacon, cheese and tomato on brown bread, but they always do it great and I'm always completely stuffed after gnoshing down on it. It is a little bit out of the way if you are in the cntre of town but I'd maybe go so far as to say it is worth the journey and if you are up the Ormeau Road I couldnt recommend this place highly enough. Good prices too.

I am a bit fussy when it comes to my sandwiches. I like either granary bread or a nice big brown…read morebaguette. My favourite fillings are avacado, brie and chicken or tuna mayo with green and red peppers. Both of these fillings I can find in Planks. I have grabbed a sandwich and coffee on the go from this place a few times which I hate doing as there is space inside and out to sit but often I have no time. The general ambiance of the establishment is nice with a busy air to it. My sandwich and coffee where nothing but the usual - I could be doing with more but that's because i'm a greedy mare - the portions are big enough. The coffee was just a take away coffee maybe slightly to hot and the container burns my delicate lady hands. Other than that I can't complain. A decent place with good snadwiches - it is a bit off the beten track for a nice evening/lunch time stroll in Belfast city centre but worth a visit if you are up that way - you will be getting just what you ordered and be happy with it!

Called in to Thyme today before work and picked up an amazing roast beef and goats cheese salad…read more Portion size is huge and none of it went to waste. All ingredients are fresh and they have plenty of options to choose from. There is a large menu board up to give you some inspiration but if you can just make up your own salads, sandwiches, wraps or panini. I went for a takeaway today but there are plenty of seats if you wanted to sit in. Parking can be difficult right outside the shop at peak times such as lunchtime but there are sidestreets and parking on the other side of the road too. Thyme always pulls a crowd and I can see why. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is reasonably priced for such good quality. can't wait to go back and try something different next time.

The staff are on the ball when it comes to how they run things. They just make it work. Their work station isn't the most spacious of environments but watching them do there thing while you wait on your order is fantastic. Great wee team and friendly too. I order the same thing every time, it's the buffalo chicken hot wrap. It's chicken tossed in a really tasty and not overly hot buffalo sauce and placed in a wrap with their own selection of salads but can be tailored to your liking, then toasted until it's just right. Pure perfection try it for yourself. The best time to go is about 11-11:30 before the lunch time rush and phoning ahead with your order is advisable, unless you haven't been before and don't know the menu items. They have a big variety on a large board on the wall as you walk in.

Went in here on Saturday morning just after 11 and got a table as ones were leaving. Small spot and…read morebustling on a Saturday which is a good sign. Simple brunch menu and have to say was really tasty and efficient and all home cooked. I had wheaten bread with poached egg and Ballymaloe relish, the bread was from French Village and lovely and the eggs had runny yolks which I love. They do fresh smoothies and don't appear to fry anything as there was a choice of poached or scrambled on the menu. They also have soya and almond milk, (unsweetened almond milk) I was delighted as not many do this. The other half had a grill and nothing was greasy or left a grease mark on the plate and nothing was left on the plate. This consisted of toast, poached eggs (runny yolks) large mushroom and bacon. Was simple and effective although the table was very small for everything.  Nice and friendly place with friendly efficient service and also reasonable compared to other places.

Hence I ended up in Soul Food Cafe. It's extra busy, extra noisy and filled with all sorts of people and chattering kids. Cosy, warm, welcoming with table service and free wifi. Soul Food Cafe is homely and lovely with quaint art hanging on the walls. On my visit today I had broccoli soup and a ciabatta roll filled with hummus, onion marmalade, roast peppers and salad leaves. It was heavenly, proper warming comfort food on a miserable, rainy November day. The Americano coffee is pretty good and there are quite a few vegetarian options on the menu too. Thank you Colin W and Brian H for the excellent recommendation! I noticed they had a chalkboard sign up declaring their first floor BYO bistro is open Fridays and Saturdays and you can phone 028 9064 6464 to book. I'm returning - and very, very soon. Soul food indeed.

I guess that the only thing making me give 4 stars rather than 5 for this place is that it's too…read moresmall (there aren't enough seats) and it doesn't open long enough hours. But it's the size it is and opens the hours it opens, so that's quite odd, that it's not a five star place because of that. However, from lunch times to later in the afternoon, Peppers can either be not so busy or very, very busy. The very, very busy possibility is much more likely as people filter in for their lunches, mostly those working around Boucher Road with the odd shoppers. So I can't give it five stars because, lovely as it is to drop in here for a gorgeous sandwich, delicatessen salad and maybe then a coffee with a bit of cake, you just don't know if there'll be a seat at the few tables. So making a trip would mean just a take away sandwich or eating in Subway next door or Browns Bar and Grill next door the other way. Actually they're both better than fine (Subway considering this one serves great soup as well as sandwich rolls) but, well, there it is, it would be nice to have a sit in in Peppers but maybe it's all occupied! There you go. It's only a simple sandwich bar / salad bar / delicatessen and most of its business is take away food sold at the counter. The food is lovely and so is the coffee. It's a very simple little place. And it's a treat if you have the time to pop in and sit down to eat, and if you get a table. Highly recommended. Opening to early tea-time would be excellent though, say 6.30, for a delicious, healthy quick snack followed by a brilliant coffee.
