The Belfast Bap Company — Restaurant in Belfast

I had checked out the Belfast Bap company in anticipation of a visit to Belfast for a christening, and was wondering if it could possibly live up to expectations. The short answer is that it didn't. It far exceeded it!! I had the Belfast Bap with sausage, bacon and egg; he just kept putting more and more bacon on until it stood about 6 inches tall! A friend I was with had the potato bread, and after piling on the bacon, she was asked if she had enough, which stunned her a bit! But it wasn't just the quantity. The bacon was thick sliced and really tasty, the sausages were very good and the egg was eggcelent (sorry) all locally sourced. The different breads on offer was a revelation too. I loved the Belfast Bap, soft in the middle and crispy on the outside, the potato bread was very moreish, a go too if you have a good appetite. Next time I'm going to try the soda bread! I would definitely recommend, amazing food and really friendly staff. There are cheaper options available, but...

Located in one corner of Belfast's famous St. George's Market, The Belfast Bap Company floated through my Facebook feed a year or two ago. One of the travel bloggers was here and posted a video. I bookmarked it. And so with not a single other thing I had to visit in Belfast, I made my way here.

A short queue where I got to watch an expert, grilling bacon, frying eggs, frying sausages. And then when it was my turn, I placed my order for the Breakfast Bap. It took about 10 minutes to be prepared and during that time, I was able to pop over to another vendor for a coffee.

As expected, my bap was massive. Do people really eat all this? Two sausages, a STACK of bacon and a fried egg inside a perfect roll. I ate one of the sausages, the egg, a few pieces of the bacon (salty!) and the bap. There's enough food here for three!

Delicious, friendly and I'm so glad I made the journey....

You won't go hungry getting a bap from here. Food was excellent and was great to see all locally sourced produce. I like how the place the base of the bag in the plate while placing the mountain of food on as it goes nice and crispy. Portion size is extreme and and empty stomach is required lol The stall gets very busy and it takes a while to get your order but once placed you are given a buzzer which bleeps to tell you when yours is up next. I recommend ordering when you arrive then walking round for a while, this was the only let down as we were told 35min wait when order but actually took 1 hr 10. Great food, but not sure if it is worth the wait unless you plan on staying at the market...
