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!

If you don’t make a reservation online, it’s impossible to have a table there. Please ensure you proceed to the end until receive an email confirmation. I made a mistake in the first time.
The food is great. The seafood is fresh and cooked just right. I really enjoyed the Casserole which has fish, shells, crab, shrimp, etc. I can taste all kinds of seafood in one bowl. The fish and the bread are my favourite.
The Crab Claw tastes good but it is not recommended to someone who is in a date… I saw a gentleman having problem with the claws… it may take you an hour to finish it if you want to keep your hands clean!
I was in a rush thus I asked the restaurant to serve everything at once. The restaurant showed their flexibility while maintained its great quality.

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 😉

Fantastic meal! The January set price menu was incredible value for money without scrimping on quality. Service was friendly & efficient. Highly recommend.
