"This pretty CS Lewis inspired café in east Belfast is a treasure trove of vintage crockery, quirky Narnia-themed artwork and with its perfectly pitched playlist, is a delightfully cosy family run affair offering fabulous food, coffee, tea and delicious tray-bakes all using local produce and suppliers. The Lamppost is now open on Friday and Saturday evenings with a brand new menu featuring a great selection of large and small dishes with suggested wine pairing, and some great vegetarian and vegan options, so we were delighted to have been invited down to be one of the first to try out the new menu. We began with a gorgeous Mackerel Rillette with watercress, cucumber pickle, and toasted sourdough, a Tempura Oyster Mushroom with maple glaze, kimchi bean sprouts, and an incredible gochujang mayo, and Grilled Asparagus with harissa yogurt, dill and toasted almonds, all of which were perfect sharing starters. To follow, the Mussels with Orzo, leeks, peas and saffron cream were fresh and bursting with flavour, and the Lentil Dahl with miso tofu and crispy onions with triangles of pitta bread for dipping was one of the tastiest vegan dishes we’d had in quite a while, accompanied by some steamed Asian Greens in sesame and ginger. To finish we had a light yet luscious Lemon Roulade with fresh fruit and vanilla cream, and some vegan cheese, a plant based, spirulina blue-veined wedge of Cashew Blue from Nourish Good Food, with crackers and Irish Black Butter. All washed down with an excellent bottle of Porta 6, and some great cocktails, this is a terrific new menu. Many thanks to the team at the Lamppost for a wonderful evening of fantastic food, service and warm hospitality."

We had an amazing breakfast at this restaurant. The food was excellent, especially the poached eggs with avocado that my boyfriend ordered. The staff were very friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We will definitely be returning the next time we are in Belfast.

Amazing food and really helpful and nice staff. It has a great vibe, full of lots of little trinkets and the place is spotlessly clean. My favourite cafe in Belfast. My recommendation is the poached eggs, with avocado on sourdough, sprinkled with feta, walnuts and chilli flakes! Drool! View menu

Well we came across this absolute gem of a place . The ambience and decor was incredible. The service was warm and friendly and the food absolutely delicious . Just a 5 minute ride out of the city in a bus or cab . The place was the best we had in Antrim and we will certainly return. Just wow Chris&Donna Isle of Man

I visited The Lamppost for the first time and found it to be charming and welcoming with fantastic service and delicious food. The layout and stairs may pose a challenge for those with mobility issues, but this was not an issue for us. I also noticed that the red toilet seat indicated that the establishment is dementia friendly.

Had a splendid experience having afternoon tea on the top floor of the venue. Have always loved the quaintness of The Lamppost Cafe so much so that I wanted to share my birthday celebrations with friends family here. The food was so fresh and delicious and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Thankyou Lamppost Cafe for a memorable birthday x View menu

We had the best experience, we were able to bring out dog and have a lovely brunch. The two guys who own it were so great, very friendly and welcoming. They made a big fuss over our dog and he was treated as well as (if not better haha) a paying customer. This was such a lovely experience, we had the the French toast and my partner had the stew. Will definitely be back!

Fantastic spot to stop at after a lengthy stroll. The top-notch puppichino in the area with biscuits on top, and I even scored some bacon from the people at the table next to me. Perfect for a laid-back lunch with friends or a blind date - way better than chance encounters in the park. Service was top-notch and the staff were incredibly accommodating to dogs. Dexter approves!
