Shu Restaurant Belfast

When we arrived at the restaurant we were one of the last reservations. so the restaurant was really full. we seated to a not very enjoyable table and i asked the manager if we could move to any better. the manager was very polite and he moved us immediately to a very nice table. it was very pleasant. the atmosphere was nice and the place is very well decorated. however it was bit noisy for the style of restaurant it is. the ladies next to us were bit drunk and they were noisy… the food was very delicious, the slow cooked beef was excellent. sadly the portions were very small. that was something i didn’t really enjoyed. i know that places with gourmet food rarely have big portions, but i think that portions here were much smaller than the average. the wine was very nice and in a very good temperature, i really enjoyed it. the prices were reasonable. concluding, i would say that the overall experience was good, the food was tasty but i would enjoyed it more if the portions were bit bigger.

Really happy to find such an outstanding restaurant in the 'student' area of belfast. atmosphere was fantastic, staff were excellent, and the food selection and quality were really outstanding. this was a michelin recommended restaurant in the past but certainly deserves to be given the accolade again given the quality of the food being presented.

Went for lunch with my wife. got tricked into having the 'still' water, once i committed he mentioned the tap water. used this technique on all customers. i felt the soup i had was over seasoned, didn't taste like potato and leek. it was lovely, especially the wee cheese scone on the side. my wife had the korean chicken, it's hot! we both went for the steak frites. two options pink or well done. my wife went for pink, i went for well done as i didn't want to risk having any red in mine. thankfully my well done steak came out with a bit of pink, it was lovely. it was smothered in pepper sauce. maybe ask for it on the side as it's very strong (even without biting into the whole peppercorns. again, it was but i think too much seasoning again. my wife loves this place, but i'm not sure if i'll be in a hurry to go back.

Best dinner we've had in [northern] ireland! excellent duck, excellent lamb, excellent accompaniments, great wine pairing recommendation, and wonderful service. thank you!

Really good food! we visited on a sunday evening. service was attentive and casual. we ordered the chicken gochujang and gnocchi from the regular menu and oyster mushrooms and cauliflower dish from the vegan menu. the vegan dishes were the best we have had in s. and n. ireland. highly recommend!
