Great restaurant in a hotel. Not always the case. The menu had very good options. I had sea bass served over a pea risotto which was cooked to perfection. My husband had Irish lamb rump served over mixed bean & fine herb dumpling ragout which he said was outstanding. Must be one of the best restaurants in Belfast.

Food was mediocre; steak was tough/full of gristle. We were last seating for evening, and staff was noisily setting up chairs etc for next day breakfast. Overall disappointing. Not worth the price charged.

Pre - theatre meal was excellent.My first experience of the Fitzwilliam. Two/three courses at £28/33 - we had one of each, sharing a dessert. Ahmed was our contact/server and was very good ; at a table nearby, there was a couple, one of whom was handicapped and Ahmed’s quiet attention to them was extremely good. Food good and wine prices seemed very reasonable for a highly *starred” hotel. Would recommend, certainly for a pre-theatre at the GOH. Will visit again in the future.

The meal was excellent and the staff we encountered were very polite and fruendly. The table was booked for 5.30 pm as a pre theatre meal. The theatre production was at 7,00 pm, but our order was not on the table until 6.15 pm, meaning a rather rushed meal, to also allow for the dessert which was included in the price, and no time for a coffee. The restaurant was not very busy. Also , although the meals were excellent, they were quite small for the price.
The Restaurant at The Fitzwilliam HotelResponded on 1 May 2025
Good morning Mr Mervyn, Thank you for taking the time to complete a review of your recent dining experience. I am glad to read that you enjoyed the food and our staff looked after you well. Unfortunately , not all of the guests at your table arrived at 530pm which you will be aware delayed our team from taking the order which would have in turn delayed the food. I believe you had to order on their behalf in the end. We would be more than happy to take a pre order for any future bookings if this would help elevate your experience kind regards Lauren

Very good roasted tomato soup and selection of breads, other dishes were good, and an interesting wine list. Service was excellent. We had a nice quiet niche, but the room got quite noisy after two large parties arrived.
