The Cloth Ear

Was delighted to find The Cloth Ear opened on a Monday lunchtime as a lot of Belfast Restaurants are closed on Mondays. Met by very friendly staff, it was just after 12 noon, so no real atmosphere yet, though when we left it was starting to fill up. Husband loved his order of Seafood Chowder, stating the prawns were cooked to perfection. I chose the Carrot & Parsnip soup, with the ham & cheese sourdough sandwich . The soup was delicious and the ham was off the highest quality. Very tasty sandwich. Very nice staff, not intrusive at all, but they make sure we had everything we needed.

absolutely lovely. If your in Belfast you have to stop by this amazing place. The food is incredible and the staff is absolutely lovely. We had a great time here. Many vegetarian meal options and the cocktails and beers are definitely worth a try. We will definitely come back here. Ps: try the charcuterie board and the fish and chips!!

Nice surprise in the middle of the Cathedral Quarters. Just walked in without reservation. At first they were somewhat reluctant to seat us even though the place was empty, but they put us in one of the top tables. Bar looks amazing. The service was OK but not spectacular, though. They food however was amazing. The Irish goat cheese salad to another level. The fish and chips are perhaps the best I have had with a curry sauce that was amazing. The cocktails were spectacular. The ambience is perfect, not too dark not too bright, just a nice spot to eat, talk and have good food.

Great service, great vibe for social or family, comfortable seating, lighting set the mood but not too dark, good value and taste for mushroom soup Pork belly dish had everything done right, except the pork belly itself could be better (in crispness and tenderness), it overall top 20% of all pork belly I had in pubs) Overall top 10% of pub food I tried. Didn't have alcoholic drink there.
