Taste of Belgium — Restaurant in Newry, Mourne and Down District Council

Tucked away inside Castle Court, this small little spot serves some really amazing drinks and ice creams. The menu is exciting and different from what you usually find in most places around here. One of the highlights for me was the pistachio ice cream with kunafa — it genuinely made me so happy. Rich, creamy, with that crispy touch from the kunafa. You can tell they are doing something special here. But as much as I loved the product, the experience left me feeling disappointed. Not because of the staff themselves, but because of how poorly things seem to be managed. They did a big push for their Dubai chocolate range — it was all over social media, people were sharing it everywhere. Naturally, I got excited too. But when I actually went to try it, the line was so long it stretched all the way to Poundland. And the reason? Just two staff members trying to serve this massive crowd brought in by all the marketing. You could see how stressed they were, trying their best but completely overwhelmed. It honestly made me feel bad for them. They were doing their best, but it was not fair. The management really needs to rethink how they are running this. You cannot promote something that heavily and then not be prepared for the response. It creates a mess, slows everything down, and in the end it ruins what should have been a great moment.

Since the place opened in castle court i have been regularly, always had good experience. The ice creams are so refreshing, i definitely recommend trying sorbets. I have also tried the hot chocolates and milk hot chocolate is the best in my opinion.

The strawberries are super fresh and the mixture of the chocolate with the pistachio cream and kunafa is unbelievable. I recently tried the Easter eggs and they are so delicious.

Overall, great quality of ice creams and chocolates and the service is great although it can be busy, Romana always handles it. Its my...

Came in with my partner and girls and we got individual 1 scoop cups of kinder bueno, pistachio and raspberry ripple ice cream. My partner got a banana hot chocolate topped with squirty cream that tasted like vanilla ice cream and crushed caramelised peanuts on top. The ice cream were lovely and creamy and the flavours weren't overpowering so it wasn't sickly.

We were served by Romana, she was very polite and friendly especially to my 3yr old who couldn't quite see the counter so she waited until my partner picked her up so she could watch her ice cream being scooped. Great service, great product, reasonably priced. Definitely somewhere to stop off for a sweet...
