EXCELLENT Based on 90 reviews Immanuel K2025-03-25Verified Good, hearty meat My colleague found this place online while we were on a work trip. We tried our luck without a reservation and they were able to accommodate us. The food was excellent - I'd definitely recommend the pork, which was done perfectly and an impressive sized piece on the plate! Would definitely try again when in Belfast.

PhilipBBB2025-03-18Verified Top notch food We had dinner on a busy Saturday night but under time pressure to get to a concert and the waitress made sure our food came quickly. Quality of food was super and good value. Will certainly be back the next time I'm in the city Andy M2025-03-09Verified Number 1 for us Amazing stuff with amazing food! Came and spoke to us about our stay in Belfast and was happy to give us answers to our questions. The food was beautiful and atmosphere was great too. Lovely little place to visit and will definitely come back. Great price too. laurenAJ1l42025-03-02Verified A diamond in Dublin Roads Rough ❤️ A New Favorite 😍 First time here at The Teal Monkey and we will all be back! Firsty we were greeted by very friendly staff member who showed us to our Seats. I have multiple sclerosis and when I asked if we could move to an available booth as i was uncomfortable they couldn't do enough to help me as I am still a bit embarrassed about my disability and how debilitating it can be at times The waiting staff and manager really went above and beyond, our drinks order was taken and brought to us ASAP. The food is out of this world and already we are planning to return as much as possible to 'complete" the menu. Keep doing what you are doing, food and ambience are amazing, a real gem ! See you next week hopefully!!! ❤️ johncH2035YX2025-02-22Verified Lunch with friends first time visit Kieran or Ciaran forgot ask the spelling, was our host, knowledgeable, funny and a fantastic character. The food was excellent, but the lunch was taken up a notch due to our host! Great place and a great ambassador for the restaurant! I will be back! sue2025-02-22Verified Lovely little bistro Lovely cosy little bistro. Excellent food & service reasonable price too. Really enjoyed the Teal Monkey cocktail!!

Lovely spot in Belfast! JacquelineRArt2025-02-09Verified An unfortunate experience We booked this restaurant after seeing the lovely menu and reviews - it was a special occasion for us and sadly it did not meet our expectations. When we arrived a waitress greeted us to inform us that the gas was unfortunately off but they had rang a technician and hoped to have it fixed as soon as possible. We decided to give them a chance and order a glass of wine while we waited. We understood this was beyond their control and didn’t want to walk away before giving them a chance. We were seated upstairs by the kitchen and after waiting a while and getting more hungry we asked could we order the charcuterie board from their starter menu - the waitress was lovely and asked the chef who roared at her - did someone order this ? After repeating yes we had he grumbled that he couldn’t make the bread so she arrived with it a while later & it included Yorkshire pudding and a wrap etc - very unusual but we were so hungry that we appreciated it. After another 40 mins the gas was fixed & we ordered our mains - mine was the tacos and I asked for no onions due to an allergy. When they arrived they were laced with onion on top and throughout. I explained to the waitress who was so apologetic and lovely but when she brought them back the chef roared there’s only onion in the coleslaw- which was untrue - there was no coleslaw. We felt so intimidated as he roared directly at us. The manager also brought us the bottle of white wine which we’d ordered and left it on the table - no ice or ice bucket in sight. We finished our meal and were disappointed that no offer was made to give us a discount or complimentary drink for this stressful and horrible experience. The waitress who served us was lovely but sadly our entire evening was ruined. We understand that circumstances like this are beyond control but feel we were treated poorly due to the horrible atmosphere and situation. We will not be back. Paula K2025-02-09Verified Disappointing meal Ok not great - read brilliant reviews on this place and was in Belfast for the weekend so booked a table for dinner. Was so disappointed. Gas was off when we arrived which wasn’t an issue as we weren’t in a rush so decided to order a bread plate to start while we waited on gas to be fixed. Waitress ordered this from the kitchen and we heard the chef give off about who the hell ordered this - first impressions not good. Starter lovely and gas issue was fixed about 40 mins after we arrived - we weren’t offered any complimentary drinks while we waited but no issue. Ordered main meal once issue fixed to be told seafood curry now not available so I ordered an alternative and my friend order beef tacos with no onion (due to allergy). Tacos arrived full of onion and when we asked for them to be changed the chef roared at the waitress that there was no onion in them (my friend had sat trying to pick out the onion but it was through the beef) left a bad impression even though waiting staff were lovely - manager didn’t seem to want to know - paid bill and left but will not be returning
