The Barking Dog Restaurant Belfast

The food here is simply other worldly. Two of us had steaks that were wonderfully cooked to medium rare perfection. And I mean perfect. We all talked about how the food, wine, was at another level.. The word 'burger' undersold the quality of the shin beef others enjoyed..I would get on a manchester _ belfast flight just to eat at this place. Bit odd that we turned up at 12 noon for our 12.45 booking and were asked to come back later...but hey ho. All good by 1pm.

The food is amazing, it's my favourite restaurant in Belfast. The sweet potato gnocchi with smoked chicken are amazing, and the same can be said for the sweet potato ravioli (unfortunately only at lunch). The chicken supreme and the sirloin steak are also very good. Among the desserts the apple tart tatin is delicious and the espresso crème brulée is very good. The peanut butter brownie is ok but could be better and surely is not worth the 7.25GBP you pay for it. Unfortunately the menu is always the same with slightly seasonal variations. As an aficionada I'd like to find my favourite dishes together with new ones. On a less pleasant note, I found the portions incredibly smaller: 10 gnocchi as a main is absolutely ridiculous. Having ordered a main and a dessert, we have left still hungry. The bill was extremely pricey: more than 17 pounds for the main with 10 gnocchi and over 7 pound for the dessert ( a slice of brownie and a scoop of ice cream, not a patisserie masterpiece!). We were a bit perplexed

I booked The Barking Dog for my anniversary dinner with my husband. Booking a table was super easy and I was able to add in the comments that I needed their gluten free menu. When I arrived, the gluten free menu was there waiting on me, no awkwardness at all! This proved to me that the staff in the Barking Dog read the comments sent in with booking, unlike other restaurants I've been to in Belfast. The staff were amazing the whole night, very attentive and had a laugh with us. The food was outstanding, I cannot recommend it highly enough. From tapas starter, to dessert, everything was perfect. Gorgeous atmosphere to top it all off. 10/10 highly recommend.
