The Parlour — Restaurant in Belfast

The Parlour Bar hidden off the beaten track on Elmwood Avenue has a pretty diverse menu that offers something for everyone.

If you are in a group (which is probably the best way to visit) don't miss their sharing platter, the "Parlour Platter," which is loaded with chicken wings, onion rings, wedges, cocktail sausages, salad, and garlic mayo for just £10. And on Thursday nights, join in on the fun with their quiz night.

Their pizzas range from classic Margherita at £7.50 to the fiery Parlour Flamer at £10. For those looking for a more filling meal, the Cowboy Supper, consisting of sausage, chips, and beans, is a great option for just £8.50.

Now for the negative… There’s a male manager there who was really salty about us sitting together around the big table in the window. In order to group ourselves together (around 20 of us, a professional work group on a night out) we wanted to move the tables closer, he flat out refused to compromise even though we were all eating and spending a LOT - eventually moving us to a small room down the back of the pub where we literally couldn’t see each other it was so dark. I ate my pizza off my knee and I could literally hardly see it.

That aside I’d return and would have given 5 stars instead of 3 if not for the...

The place it self is nice, lights very dim. Staff very friendly. Here you have to order at the bar and pay before you eat for some reason. My mates enjoyed their food except of one of my mates garlic bread. It was so thin and full of oil, and then my pasta. I love pasta generally, but this fusilli pasta is bound to be the worst I’ve ever ate. I can defo make better one at home.. it was flavourless and it near felt like it was microwaved.. so wet and soggy, whereas fresh pasta dries pretty fast. I told my mates to try the pasta too, in case it was only me who didn’t like it, but they all didn’t like it at all. I was so disappointed by it. I told one member of staff about the pasta but that was it, no new food, no free pint or refund. My point here is that there was no solution to it. I would defo NOT recommend getting pasta!! But defo get pizza. It was tasty enough as my mates gave me a bit of their slice. other thing is, they brought the foods out in different times and not all together. Over all it was an 5/10 experience. Would I ever come back ? Maybe, cause everybody deserves a second chance, but defo wouldn’t order that...
