The Barking Dog Restaurant Belfast in Belfast

Fabulous meal. Superb selection of gluten free dishes. Lovely wee kids menu. Friendly staff! Lovely family dinner out in a relaxed atmosphere. Very happy!!

The food is amazing. The menu is very varied. I would highly recommend the shin burger and the pork belly bites for starter. The staff are very helpful and pleasant.

We arrived later than expected because we were held up, the staff were brilliant and still accommodated us. The restaurant was really cosy and comfortable. Our meal was gorgeous, I can't wait to go back.

• Beef tartare (chopped raw beef, gherkins, parsley, egg yolk) and dehydrated soldiers• Kilkeel crab meat, creme fraiche, chives atop toasted sourdough• Sticky beef short ribs w/ pickled shredded carrots

My wife booked us in for my birthday. She told me that she added a comment when booking online to request a window seat - which we got!You are simply guaranteed a great feed. We go mainly for the Shin Burgers, fantastic every time and cooked to your liking of medium-well or well-done. The tapas selection is also varied and a 3 for £12 is a good starter idea for a couple's date night.There is plenty to choose from for your main meal, I would say there is likely something for everyone.The dessert menu selection is fine but pricey at £6.50 - perhaps more for your money elsewhere however the ambience makes up for it so you might find yourself ordering one to stay there a bit longer.Drinks wise the beer selection is fine (not amazing) and £2.50 for a 200ml coke seems high, but then maybe all things considered the restaurant industry has certainly had its fair share of problems and so it's justified?Service was prompt and friendly throughout.At the end of the night the waiter delivered my dessert with a candle and sang Happy Birthday! A very nice touch to a lovely evening.Overall a solid 5 stars and would recommend a visit... Or a revisit if you haven't been recently.

Easy online booking - recommend booking early for weekend timeslots. Service was good and attentive (tho one server perhaps nearly too keen to offer to clear plates!) . Food is really excellent. Recommend especially the vegetarian sweet potato gnocchi or the outstanding beef burger. Also the flavoursome scampi, with its feather light batter. Whatever you choose, you'll enjoy as the quality of ingredients and superb cooking guarantees a great meal.

I booked The Barking Dog for my anniversary dinner with my husband. Booking a table was super easy and I was able to add in the comments that I needed their gluten free menu. When I arrived, the gluten free menu was there waiting on me, no awkwardness at all! This proved to me that the staff in the Barking Dog read the comments sent in with booking, unlike other restaurants I've been to in Belfast. The staff were amazing the whole night, very attentive and had a laugh with us. The food was outstanding, I cannot recommend it highly enough. From tapas starter, to dessert, everything was perfect. Gorgeous atmosphere to top it all off. 10/10 highly recommend.

Food was amazing, service was great. They also have a great menu for vegetarians and the menu comes with an ingredients chart for all us allergy sufferers... and the cocktails were amazing

From the time we arrived the staff were amazing.The food was delicious!We drove from Limerick and had the best burgers ever here!We sat upstairs and it was all candlelit and so romantic and relaxed.Everything was literally faultless! We will definitely call in again its well worth the stop! Highly Recommended 😇

Always love coming to this place for food & cocktails! People are friendly and the food is delicious. Also highly recommend their super yummy steak tartare as you won't be able to find this dish that easily in Northern Ireland.
