Mourne Seafood Bar

My husband and I were excited to try this place out when visiting Belfast after a recommendation from our friend. We ordered the mussels and squid for starters. The mussels were beautifully presented and tasted excellent. The squid was great but the portion size was a bit small for the price. For mains, we ordered the seabass on the bone which was seasoned perfectly. I really enjoyed the flavours of this dish. The seafood casserole was also delicious. We ordered a chocolate fondant to share for dessert, but there was some confusion amongst the staff. We waited 20 minutes to finally receive it. I assume the waiter who we initially ordered with forgot to put the other through to the kitchen, and the second waitress followed this up for us. The chocolate fondant itself was a bit dry and a bit of a let down for the evening. All in all, some great seafood and a relaxed atmosphere.

A great spot. I got the chilli squid and the mussels. Super yummy. The mussels had a sauce that was really nice and creamy. The squid wasn't over fried and actually decently light. Also the Parmesan truffle fries were very tasty. I got the mezcal dessert drink that was pretty decent. The sticky toffee pudding, was pretty yummy. The whole place was quite lively!

Food always great. And front of house staff always pleasant and very welcoming.

Great service, absolutely amazing food! I had the seafood pasta, it was absolutely delicious. I’m thinking of going there again tonight to have the same meal!

Good good, good service.

Best oysters in Belfast! Amazing seafood chowder. And the coconut margarita was yummy! Other dishes looked great too but this was all I tried. They're always busy. Make a reservation if you can or come when they open and be really nice to the staff and they might be able to sneak you in

My recent visit to Mourne Seafood Bar, touted as a must-visit spot in Belfast, unfortunately, left a bitter taste in my mouth. Recommended by the host of my Airbnb, my friends and I were eager to indulge in what we hoped would be a memorable dining experience, especially as it marked the final meal of our Belfast trip. However, what should have been a delightful evening quickly turned sour. Upon perusing the menu, we were served glasses of water by a female waitress, only to discover a fly resting on the water's surface. Politely, I requested a replacement, but to my surprise, no apology was extended, and even after my repeated requests, a new glass of water was not promptly provided. The disappointments continued to mount as our drinks were inexplicably delayed, despite the restaurant not being particularly busy. To our dismay, upon finally receiving our drinks, we discovered an unknown a blurry foreign substance floating inside one of the beers. Once again, our concerns were met with a lack of apology or acknowledgment from the waitress. Frustrated by the series of mishaps, I sought out the supposed manager of the restaurant to address the situation. While he offered an apology and promised to provide our ordered drinks for free as compensation, it was disheartening to discover upon receiving the bill that the price of one of the drinks had not been removed. Expressing my disappointment, I requested the removal of the service charge. However, to my dismay, I was informed that the complimentary drinks were considered the compensation for the service charge. Feeling as though I had no other option, I reluctantly paid the fee. While I understand that mistakes can happen in any establishment, the lack of accountability, disregard for basic hygiene, and dismissive attitude towards customer concerns were deeply troubling. Furthermore, the subtle microaggressions encountered throughout our interaction left me questioning the inclusivity and professionalism of Mourne Seafood Bar. In conclusion, my experience at Mourne Seafood Bar was overshadowed by subpar service and unaddressed microaggressions, detracting from what should have been a memorable dining experience in Belfast.

Everything was impeccable and the staff is amazing. I definitely recommend it.

Maybe my expectations were too high, but I was disappointed in my dish. I got the Seafood Casserole which wasn’t well described on the menu and I wasn’t able to determine what fish were in the dish. Disappointed no scallops. My starter of avocado ceviche had almost no avocado. The sticky toffee pudding tasted old.
