"Our favourite place to go when we visit Belfast and yesterday 16th we visited for my partners birthday. We had been given a voucher for Christmas and it was the first chance we had to use it. We had tapas as a starter between us, I had the salt and pepper scampi as a main and my partner had a burger with chips...for dessert my partner had a brownie and the girls kindly put a candle on it for him and sang happy birthday. Anna was our server she was just lovely,very attentive and nothing was a problem to her. We wanted 2 cocktails that weren't on the menu but they were able to whip them up for us. We like to try different places in Belfast but I can honestly say the Barking Dog is the best for quality food and service...eating out is becoming more of a luxury for some people these days so when you do decide to dine you want it to be a great experience....I can honestly say yesterday was one of the nicest meals I have ever had the whole experience was delightful...thank you can't wait to our next visit"

The food at this restaurant is fantastic and incredibly delicious. The service is lovely, and the atmosphere is great. I highly recommend it. The fish pie, prawn linguine, and tapas were all fantastic choices.

I came here for a Pre-Valentines dinner with my bf. We got a warm welcome by the manager, then we got looked after by a guy(couldn't get his name) afterwards, he gave us the warmest experience ever! We could tell that it was busy because every table was taken in our eye view, but the waiter was attentive and helpful. He recommended some tapas to start which were all really nice

First impressions very cosy, nice table at window. Starter of scampi although small was very well cooked and tasted well. Roast beef was a bit underwhelming. Excellent veg selection. Burger was more like a soft paste. Waiter asked how our meal was, he was told it was okay and unfortunately he seemed to take offence. This is when service went way down hill. No offer of desert, think he told neighbouring diners that only one portion of cheese cake remained and offered liquid alternatives.

Three family couples visited on the third Thursday in March In summary everything was excellent The mixture and range of tapas as starters were extremely tasteful and varied We had a variety of main courses I selected the ‘Fish Special’. It was cod and it was garnished and seasoned exceptionally. It was excellent I didn’t have a dessert but all the others did — everyone complemented their desserts We had wine, beers, cocktails and coffees And every was served without fuss and true professionalism For all the food and drink in a lovely setting it worked out at £55 per head. Expensive?? NO not for the dining experience we received Highly recommended

The food was ok. Nothing really special and portions a little skimpy. The service was satesfactory but at tmes we we unattended as you would expect and not warramt a 10% automatic surcharge. Plus 1 meal the burger was not edible so basically untouched (1 other in the party had a small piece and agreed). We informed the waiter who was appologetic but when the bill was presented no type of resolition was even given to compensate one of the party paying £19 for chips the quantity of a medium mcdonalds size. Busy enough and good atmosphere nice surroundings but as regular diners lost any chance of repeat business and that of our large foody social circle.

The restaurant, located at the end of our street, turned out to be the best meal of our weekend away. Due to the rain, we decided not to venture into town, but we were pleasantly surprised by the lively yet relaxed and welcoming atmosphere of the restaurant. The service provided by our server was brilliant. Our beer was served in ice-cold glasses, setting a good start to the evening. The food was perfect; we shared 5 tapas dishes among the three of us and each one was beautiful, making it difficult to choose a favorite. We also tried the fish pie, burger, and belly pork, and each dish was amazing - the best we've had. We were impressed by the chef and the lovely waitress, and we had a fabulo...

Went here for Sunday lunch . To avoid any problems I made a reservation on Res-Dine for 3 which is a booking app that might not actually exist. We arrived just after opening time to a bustling, busy restaurant. It took me 15 mins to get in through the front door as I was checking the gravel for dog paw suitability, the outside furniture for paint and A4 page for aggressiveness. All boxes ticked. We were welcomed in . The manager informed me that he had received my cv and achievement breakdown by email and also that my reservation had been confirmed through the non existent Res-Dine. I didn't regret using Res-Dine for 1 millisecond. The manager told us would cancel the booking and treat us as...

My wife and I have enjoyed so many wonderful dining experiences at The Barking Dog over the years. As one of the top restaurants in Belfast, it has always been a favorite of ours. We were sad to see it close, but managed to visit twice in its final week. The food was fantastic as always, and the service was friendly and impeccable. Despite the impending closure, the staff maintained a positive energy and atmosphere, showing their professionalism until the very end. Special thanks to Michael and his talented team for consistently providing exceptional service. A shoutout to Lauren, Charlotte, Ciara, and Anna for making our last visit on a Friday evening special as we enjoyed our favorite wind...

"enjoyed our evening in james st it was the best culinary experience of our trip! we had been happy to see this evening as we had a few hit-N-seals in the course of our trip to belfast. we were not disappointed and had the fabulous evening. we were quickly welcomed and sitting. the place is beautiful and spacious. revitalized and environment. the bar is great and would like to come back, only for drinks at the bar sometime. we ordered cocktails immediately. an Irish gin negroni and a traditional old fashion. my neger was absolutely excellent. I think the old fashion could have been done with real sugar cubes and not sugar syrup, but it wasn't too bad. we were quick to choose our wein. we chose a beautiful juicy red, the cline, the old vine zinfandel, 2019. to begin we had the ham hock terrine with piccalilli champ bread and some scallops with boar bell. the hanging-hock court was the best ham-hock I had. the homemade piccalilli was something else. really nice crispy and sharp sharp to help cut through the hammock and the champbrot was delicious crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. the scallops and black bells were disappointing, as they lacked no salt or genuine aroma or texture between them. we still ate it and shared the rest of my hammock. we both decided to go for the co. tyrone 270g fillet steak with sides of champ and truffle parmesan chips. red wine and pfeffer sauce. they were fantastic steaks. Actually, I didn't think I would finish mine, but I did. I have met the right choice with the jus and the truffle chips. they went so well together, the dryness of the parmesan and sweet, slightly greasy of the jus. the steaks were perfectly cooked. a medium and my medium rare. fantastic aroma on the grilled outside of the steak and beautiful texture when they pierce. we both agreed that the champ was the best champ we ever cost. it was hot, soft, so well aromatized with hot butter on the top of the copper serving pot melt. it was really the most incredible champ. I was too full of dessert. but my sample ordered the sticky toffee pudding sundae. the team was friendly enough to make me an espresso martini that was both decaf and not a sugar syrup. it was brilliant. we both managed to work our way, although a surprisingly light sticky toast desserts on Sunday. the team was fantastic. very friendly and chatting to us. the bar team did not stop, I had the pleasure of standing and watching them make a great selection of drinks and cocktails. the waiting staff were also very friendly when they check in with us at comfortable places to ensure that we were in order. we felt very well looked around. the service was very good, we didn't feel any hurry, it felt like such a free time in this restaurant. when we come back to belfast, we will be back in absolute terms and we will definitely recommend others. Thank you."
