Belfast suffers a bit from being isolated and can be a bit expensive to get to compared to other places. Once you get there you are offered nothing spectaculary unique. There are some great places to eat and drink though. Unfortunately the people aren't as friendly as other cities and I did witness some black people being treated with disdain.

I went in a group of 7 people to the Porterhouse restaurant on Belfast's Lisburn Road and everyone thought the steaks were very tender and tasty. However, around 3am, about 6 hours after the meal, I was violently ill .It was obviously something I ate because I only had some soup during the day because I was going out for the meal.

best resturants in belfast- Ginger Bistro (a family run comtemporary restaurant) not to be confused with Ginger Tree- which is also good)
if you like seafood you MUST visit the Mourne Seafood Bar- located off Royal Avenue it is not in the most ...

Belfast is a historic, small city with lots to offer. Royal Avenue is great for shopping and Shaftsbury Square is where it's at.
The only down side, is, it isn't the easiest city to get around by car. But the bus service is very good.

Most of all the people of Belfast a so friendly and welcoming. I loved the pubs and restaurants. Came across a particularly good organic restaurant AM.PM vegetarian pecan burgers were superb and the staff first class. Belfast is a city with a great beat can't wait to return.

Belfast is a friendly city... clean air... nice people... and there are many good places to visit... I love the weather.. The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum... Queens University of Belfast and of course the Botanical Garden...

I live in Belfast and it is one of the nicest places ever..people are so hung up on the citys past, that they can't accept their future.. especially foreign people, no offence. But after reading that guys review saying it lacked spirit, it pissed me off..obviously you're boring and have no sense of humour, Belfast has plenty of ...

Wow, belfats is such an undiscovered gem! after trekking around Europe, it was a breath of fresh air!! medieval pubs in the Cathedral quarter, stunning architecture and pristine city-scapes! amazing! I recommend it to everyone!

the Lisburn road is a top tip for shopping!

I loved seeing the old buildings, the murals in the Falls area are fascinating, the Globe is great for a night out, the shopping is outstanding, The Odyssey, The Waterfront, The W5, and the people are friendly & helpful... and for me I got to spend the weekend with one of my best friends who was the best tour guide to show me around & made sure I had no worries at all. I do want to return someday.
