    Honestly meh. Maybe I'm just getting old. This was a Friday visit so a big fish selling day. There were three or four fish stalls but I couldn't see any cod - farmed salmon, tuna, prawns aplenty. I saw dream fish for the first time and it was African folks in the mood to buy here. It's a type of bream which can cause LSD type hallucinations so I gave it a miss. Some things bothered me: a lot of fish had dull eyes so not mega fresh. Real fresh fish has very little fish smell. Few fish stalls had prices and I really won't shop if I've not got prices in front of me. And worst of all I watched a fishmonger cut a massive halibut - a beautiful fish about the size of an adult human torso and he was making a mess of it. Idiot. It bothered me so much I walked away. Again a similar story for the fruit & vegetable stalls - little or no prices displayed and when I checked prices they were over the top. Nothing impressed me apart from the halibut but I'd like to return to try a few things but most of the food offerings didn't strike as appetising but one thing hit over and over really high prices. It wouldn't surprise me to find it closing down as folks will either do without or go elsewhere. I do accept prices have risen and some of it is justified but I've no doubt that additional costs are being added - price gouging and they know it, and when prices are concealed we should know it too. I will return someday but honestly I can wait.

    "I ate the day/ Deliberately, that its tang/ Might quicken me all into verb, pure verb." -Seamus Heaney (1939-2013) A bit random but still orderly, St. George's Market is a mix of vendors that include freshly cooked food, artisanal items, antiques and yes, everything you can expect in a market including fresh vegetables, cheeses, and fresh fish. The market offers a variety of local products, unusual items, and delicious delights, making it a must-see location for everyone visiting Belfast. I was here for coffee and breakfast, enjoying a cortado from one vendor while my breakfast bap was prepared by another. Most accept credit cards but you'll want to have cash just in case - the bap guy had forgotten his credit card machine! [Review 1909 of 2024 - 886 in United Kingdom - 22931 overall]

    If you are in Belfast for just one morning, you must stop by this market. The best thing I got was the fish chowder followed by the Cuban sandwich. The Irish tacos were made with cold meat so not great but their sauce was good. The vegan cinnamon roll was underbaked and dense. It does get crowded and people bring dogs. The area felt safe and I never felt like I would get pick pocketed. A few stands only take cash but most also take card.

    Must visit market in Belfast. Has stalls where you can eat food unique to Northern Ireland and international food.

    Nice selection of food and coffees to get your morning started. Live music and the freshest of seafood from the docks. Lots of smiling happy faces. Produce stands and purveyors of an assortment of local crafts. Live music too! Operates Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

    Many vendors. Food, paintings, jewelry and more.

    If you are in Belfast during the weekend you must visit St George's Market. Go for a coffee or lunch or maybe purchase food for dinner. Lots of fresh food. My favorites were the honeycomb coffee and the delicious Mac and cheese - from scraped cheese rounds- delish!!! Lots of crafts- paintings, silks, pottery, and more. Plan on spending at least 2 hours here. Live music too. Everything you can want from a Saturday or Sunday morning.

    A small shopping arcade with, food, crafts and antiques, took about 30 minutes to walk through and see everything, not too crowded, some nice food stall, several craft/artist booths, a couple of booths selling antiques, worth a look if you are in the area and need to kill and hour.

    I happen to stumble across St. George's Market in Belfast, UK. While I was wandering around inside the market, I was delighted to find a variety of pop up local food options and not existing restaurants that put a stand there. The crepe service was efficient and professional, with a quick turnaround, while Al Parmesano had a busier scene with a noticeable line. The staff accommodated my request for less Nutella. I tried the savory pesto chicken cheese and the sweet banana Nutella crepes, both priced at 5 pounds. The ambient sound was at a standard level. I was grateful for the available seating area, and they were accommodating of Apple Pay.

    I'm extremely concerned with the management of this market ,its ethics and code of conduct, I have handed them information about the company spore shore robbing me of 600 steeling and scamming me out of product. The market operates a 'Real Deal Act' supposedly where traders and the market claim to maintain trading standers without illegal activity. Unfortunately my experience is Spore Shore have ripped me off and still trade at this market regardless of the information I have shown them. Customers and tourists be very aware of who you are handing money to at this market as the management team are not vetting traders like they say they are. All my comments are now being blocked

    John, excellent Chef.!

    Once I discovered that fresh seafood was available from varying outlets from just around the corner…read moreI was in heaven. I've been cooking for a long time and it was either cooking or journalism that was going to be my career path. I took the latter but experimenting with food has now become my method of relaxation. I've been here numerous times. This little seafood stall in St George's Market has been here since I've been coming and has a gaggle of fresh local seafood. The range varies according to fishing periods and what's available. I've bought huge bags of fresh Irish mussels for a paltry £3. Large, moreish and juicy they cannot be beaten. Try sautéing a finely diced torpedo shallot, a clove of garlic and a dash of black pepper. Fire in a large glass of dry white wine and a glass of water, make sure its in a large pot then fire in the mussels. Put the lid on and cook for 4-5mins. Then take the mussels out, add about 100mls of double cream, stir for 30secs and add the mussels back in, toss around and serve. The range is superb. I have a white fish allergy so have to stick to fresh seafood, salmon and tuna but the fish is always of the freshest, highest quality.

    I hate fish! Which is why walking by this stall in St Georges is just to tough to bare sometimes…read more But I do get that its a good thing that fresh fish is available for people (strange, alien people to me) take advantage of a resource that all to often can only be found in the frozen food section of the supermarket. This stall sells everything, most of it freshly caught on the day and the prices seem very reasonable. Some of the smaller things such as willicks and mussels are sold in huge bags for next to nothing. Great value if your insane and like fish!

Looking drab from the outside, inside is a bustle of colour and noise, busy with people and packets with labels I couldn't read. After dandering up and down the aisles I finally asked a really lovely girl about the dumpling wrappers. She laughed in a nice way at the idea of me making my own and showed me what she used to make hers (from scratch, the show off) but then took me to the wrappers. Thank goodness she did, I would have been there for weeks. The selection of dried, pickled, canned and fresh goods is astounding. The fruit and veg section puts the big supermarkets to shame in quality and price. This shopping experience was a roaring success. Lets hope my dumplings are too!

I used to shop a bit in the Chinese emporium on George Street in Dublin, because the vegetables were cheaper, fresher and came in bigger portions than in crappy supermarkets. The Asia supermarket looks more like a factory than a place that sells food. The layout, as other reviewers have mentioned is vast and scatty, but if you have your wits about you, you may just come out with something weird and wonderful, and tasty too hopefully! I would recommend getting some seaweed, a big block of Tofu (really good value) or some yummy miso soup. There are also big bags of spices, bags of rice so huge they could kill a man and some great traditional chinese vegetables. A little haven.

    "People who love to eat are always the best people." -Julia Child (1912-2004)…read more One of the stops on our Belfast food tour, Sawers was a tremendous hit. Crowded at lunchtime on a weekday, we managed to nab a table when another couple finished their meal. It's super busy and inside, it's full of gourmet delights. Anyone who thinks Northern Ireland doesn't have good good needs to come here. Smoked salmon on toasted bread, hard Irish cheese, crunchy baguette, sliced turkey, even chilli sauce and something called "black butter." Oh, and wine. You can't have a midday snack without wine, right? Much/most of the food here is quite local (the wine is Spanish) and the staff are helpful. Check the "sandwich board" out front for specials. The Spanish Board for £25 would be my choice! [Review 1893 of 2024 - 871 in United Kingdom - 22915 overall]

Lots of cookies, candies, jams and jelly's and a very large tea selection. The cheese case and deli were loaded with so many choices, it was hard to choose! You can order food and eat at tables that are just outside the front of the store. A definite recommend but if you're a foodie, be prepared to be dazzled!

I secured an online reservation last minute, and I am so glad we had the chance to dine here! Mourne Seafood Bar is in Belfast's City Center, next to Kelly's Cellars pub which was bustling at 9PM. Our oysters were brought out in 5 minutes; the mains took 20 minutes. In my experience, the service was standard. What we ordered: -1/2 dozen of natural oysters: This was my FIRST time ever eating oysters. I was pleasantly surprised of how fresh, non-fishy smelling, and non-slimy they were! I tried the oysters by themselves, then with lemon and Tabasco, which I find more tasty as they enhance the flavors. -Beer battered cod and chips with mushy peas and tartare: The cod portion was HUGE and piping hot. The cod was properly cooked, not dried out as other fish and chips eateries. The thick steak fries were crispy on the exterior and fluffy on the interior. I did not like the mushy peas as a personal preference. -Pan fried fillet of seabass: Absolutely delicious. The seabass was flakey with a crispy skin. Clams were properly cooked. Saffron mashed potatoes supported the fish. It was a hearty and balanced meal. -Rockshore cider: This tastes like your standard apple cider. It is crisp and sweet and does not taste like alcohol. Atmosphere/Layout: It is a very narrow restaurant that can fit maybe 40 diners inside. The tables are very small too. I would recommend having a reservation due to the limited space. It was warm inside, which is nice from the brisk, windy weather. Diners seem to be all locals catching up over a meal and every table around us had wine or alcohol.
