Reviews Summary

Home Restaurant is praised for its diverse menu, accommodating dietary needs, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. While many enjoy the delicious food, attentive service, and Bib Gourmand status, some reviews mention inconsistencies in dish preparation and occasional issues with ventilation, leading to lingering smells.

"We stopped in Belfast on our way from the East Coast to West coast just to eat at this restaurant. Beautiful space with a lovely staff. Every item has a gluten free option. The food was not only stunning but absolutely delicious. We had he oysters, salmon gravlax, burrata and the Sunday roast- with beef and with chicken. Let me tell you, the chicken was the best we’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked with extra crispy skin. This place is worth the stop. Highly highly recommend visiting on your next time in Belfast or just passing through."

Jennifer Hitchcock

"Went to Home in Belfast on Mother’s Day – not because we expected an avant-garde deconstruction of cuisine as we knew it to be, but because we were in the mood for comfort, something warm, something relaxed and a bit like ‘home’.

Started with the cauliflower and cheese croquettes - which were nice. The subtle flavours of cauliflower and cheese don’t necessarily need the contrast presented by the big flavours of the truffle dressing - but I knew it was coming so went with it. We might be reaching peak Truffle soon, and I’ll be okay with seeing a bit less of it when it happens.

The smoked mackerel rillette was my favourite of the entrée - but I also enjoyed the flavours in the prawn entrée.

When it came to the mains, the parmesan risotto, topped with crispy mushrooms and black garlic, looked good on the menu. As a dish, it wasn’t good – the base risotto was too soft from being overcooked and was strangely plain. The bold flavours of the added components were disconnected and didn’t save it. The person who ordered it loves risotto, and despite my best efforts to find a redeeming feature and reason to finish it, we couldn’t.

The burger was good – no complaints, the person eating it enjoyed it - but there are better burgers elsewhere. If you’re here and feel like a burger it definitely does the job.

I had the Irish duck breast roast – and shared it with the person who ordered the risotto. The roast was the winner for mains. The duck was cooked nicely, the red wine jus worked well, the veggies were good. The Yorkshire pudding had a burnt taste. Possibly oil too hot, possibly just a misstep on the day. Either way we forgave it - but it is what drew me to order a roast in the first place.

We had a few glasses of Rosé and Pinot Noir and had good chats. We joked that sometimes it is the not perfect meals that make good memories. I liked the feel of the restaurant, and the staff were friendly and it was the relaxed vibe we wanted. Sure - not all the dishes were great, but that happens. The risotto needs re-thinking, it’s a good list of ingredients - but was a bad dish. As a talking point, it was good to learn what it is we all love and want when we order a risotto, or that I’m not the only person who orders a roast for the Yorkshire puddings.

I got the “home dark chocolate tiramisu” - it didn’t have any coffee, nor did it have dark chocolate soaked sponge. It was like a dark chocolate mousse with some cream in a wine glass. I get it was a “dark chocolate tiramisu”, but it was definitely nothing like a tiramisu. I love tiramisu, I didn’t love this interpretation.

Often times the best part of the meal won’t be the food, it’s the laughs, learnings and the company of those we love. That was the case here, but I’d go again and try other things."

Jay Sullivan

"We recently visited the restaurant while passing through beautiful Belfast with our family. Based on the glowing reviews, we had high expectations — but unfortunately, they weren’t fully met. We sampled a variety of dishes: the steak and pork chop were excellent, the shrimp-gnocchi and soup were just okay, and the risotto didn’t suit our taste at all.
The ambiance was lovely and staff really attentive, but there seemed to be an issue with ventilation — our clothes smelled quite unpleasant after leaving, which really affected the overall experience.
In the end, we felt the meal was overpriced for what it offered."

On the plus side, it has a separate menu for both gluten-free and vegetarian options, which is a real plus. The reason I'm not giving it more stars is because the waitresses aren't very friendly and the place is smoky, leaving the (unpleasant) smell on your clothes. On the other hand, the gluten-free noodle dish didn't contain any noodles, and the menu didn't mention it.
