EDO Restaurant

Overall a very good experience. Nibbles were a bit slow and the sherry initially served in a whisky glass??? was drank long before they came out. The food was to a high standard and freshly cooked with good flavour. We had 7 plates of which one only missed the mark for me, the languostine fritters, which were really battered and deep fried with far too much batter masking the flavour of the batter. Sardines and pigs cheeks were excellent. Wine list well priced and plenty of btg. Would definitely go again!

This was one of the best meals I have had in a very long time!! I can’t recommend this place enough, if you are looking for a quality dining experience for a beyond reasonable price! The staff were lovely too and the service was really good, if not a bit too efficient. We ordered 7 different dishes between 3 people and all of it came out within only 20 minutes of ordering. I would have preferred for them to be brought out with a bit more time in between dishes, but it doesn’t take away from the overall experience. We had the passionfruit and pistachio tart along with a cheese platter for dessert, and it was incredible! The best brie I’ve had in my life. 10/10

Tip.. go for an early time-slot. We had a mid-evening reservation and some dishes had sold out... difficult to substitute these items as my wife is vegetarian. We still enjoyed our meal which was all delicious & tasted authentic. Service is purposefully casual but good nonetheless. Overall a great experience and we'd recommend a visit if you enjoy authentic Spanish food. If you like and appreciate this review please give it a like or a thumbs up so that I know what content to include in future reviews.

Good food at good prices! Staff were also really friendly and that made the atmosphere casual and fun. Would definitely frequent this place if I were living in Belfast. Food highlights: croquettes, beef cheek and the seafood paella were all amazing.

Great spot in the town for tapas. Food and service were fantastic, price on the high side but it is in the city centre and the food quality is top class. Will definitely be back

Can’t say enough about this place. The food was incredible!!!! Best meal we’ve have had in a very long time. Our server Gavin was absolutely incredible, we felt truly special and taken care of. Could not fault the evening.

EDO is one of the greatest examples of fine dining tapas on a budget. The level of skill from the chefs is incredible and it was shown in every dish. The tapas formula was easy to follow especially with a small group. All of us ordered 2-3 dishes per person and shared each single one. This led to us having a really fun dining experience. We shared our opinions on each dish as we ate together while finding room for more plates as they came one after the other. The braised beef cheek was beyond phenomenal as if I was made out of gelatine. It simply disintegrated in my mouth and melted away like meat flavoured butter. Packed full of flavour and textures as the accompanying elements added a level of contrast on the plate. This dish was a showstopper and will live long in my memory. The tenderness was outrageous and it was clear to see that there was nothing but attention to detail throughout the entire cooking process. Every other dish was incredibly fresh, packed flavour punches and felt unique from eachother. I was full by the final dish and that’s exactly what you want from tapas. You want to eat until your heart is content and then rank each dish from best to last with your dining guests. I had langoustine ceviche for the very first time and I think it’s safe to say Edo set the bar with this one. The texture of the raw langoustine caught me off guard as I expected it to be a mushy mess. It was far from that as it had some bite to it and immense flavour that I can’t describe. Delicate yet powerful in its beauty. EDO is an absolute knockout, well deserving of their Michelin Bib. They are doing something incredible in Belfast and it’s no surprise why they’re always fully booked. The value for money is impressive to say the least. You’ll eat like a king and come out feeling like you didn’t break the bank like you would in other substandard restaurants. That is one way to bring your customers back over and over again without fail. Highly recommended.

Was very excited to finally go to Edo, especially with it being Michelin. Table was wobbly and there was no cutlery on the table on arrival. Paper menu is used as a placemat, which was handy to recheck the menu but not quite what I would have expected for Michelin level. Service was friendly enough, though there was one waiter, who was quite keen to kick us out as soon as our time was up and perhaps could have been a bit more diplomatic about it. The food was fine, I felt whilst the menu was varied, it all felt a bit separated. I didn’t think the flavours and seasoning were that great either (but I say this as someone who has been to another Michelin tapas restaurant in Belfast that was at a much higher level all round). Pistachio, passionfruit, and white chocolate tart was lovely though - white chocolate flavour didn’t come through as strong enough for me. My other diners noted that the toilets (two unisex toilets) were filthy. Overall, I sadly wouldn’t go back or recommend.

I absolutely had a wonderful time and meal at Edo - my first meal while I was in Belfast. There's a lot of restaurant options within walking distance from my hotel including Edo. I made reservations online a month prior to coming here which was a good idea as this place gets busy. They use European ingredients to serve the most delectable tapas and entrees. Spanish cuisine is one of my favorites! They have pan con tomate, marcona almonds, Pimientos de Padrón, olives, chorizo, croquetas, soft shell crab, Spanish tortilla, chicken wings, paella, steak, salmon, chicken, etc. They have desserts such as Crema Catalana, Panna Cotta, polenta Cake, affogato, chocolate tart, and cheeseboard. I got seated by the window at a table for 4 - and it was just me, myself, and I + my giant appetite - so a huge table was perfect! All of their tapas seem so delicious but I had to limit myself to only a few items since it was close to bedtime when I went here (and I had to start my day super early the next day). I was conflicted. Everything I wanted at that moment were all pork and I felt like I need a variety. The server was nice enough to give recommendations but in the end, I focused on my favorite things: chicharron, and Jamon Iberico. For my entree, I got the Pork Steak. And to sweeten the ending, I got churros for dessert. I savored every bite. Let the Jamon Iberico melt in my mouth. Chicharron: Pork belly chunks that has been sitting in brine and then fried. Tender meat as crispy skin. All I need was a side of rice or potatoes to make it a meal. 4/5 Jamon Iberico: It's quite pricey to have Jamon Iberico in the US so, every time I'm in Europe, I have to take advantage of this. Huge serving for £10. 5/5 Pork Steak: Pork shoulder with Jerusalem artichoke, truffle goat cheese emulsion, and walnuts. I could've gotten beef steak but I already had steak places on my itinerary for the next few days. I was honestly expecting a thin dry pork chop but to my surprise, right in front of me was a huge thick cut of juicy grilled pork! It came with a side of fried potato skins that were super crunchy. 5/5 Churros: Ok now, this is where it got kind of tricky. It's like Mexican churros meet Spanish churros. I prefer the Spanish version (fried pate a choux you dip in thick warm chocolate) over the cinnamon sugar-dusted fried pate a choux. You get Mexican churros with a side of warm dark chocolate which a bit runny. I would've liked a thicker chocolate. 3/5 For all the food I ate, I only spent less than £40! There's a bus stop right outside this restaurant so if you're coming from a few miles farther, you can take the bus to get here.

One of the best restaurants in Belfast. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our date here, our waitress was very friendly & the tapas were great. The drinks were also great. The calamari was amazing

Really gorgeous food with fantastic service. Something different for Belfast. Best patatas bravas in the city. Highly recommend the beef shin and salmon main courses.

Despite all the stellar reviews this place has gotten, I was hugely disappointed with the high price, baby sized portions and confusing menu lacking any explanation as to what anything was. I had the lentil Dahl which was nice, it came with potatoes which weren't mentioned on the menu and I hate potatoes. The House salad was tiny and dressed in so much creamy dressing and cheese, none of which were written on the menu and I had to send it back as I'm allergic to cheese. The trout was alright but lacked in any flavour and was undercooked. The only dish I was happy with was the falafel, although £6 for just 3 falafels is a rip off. We hardly ordered anything, left still hungry and our bill came up to £70. If you want to get full or have a decent amount of food, expect to have to pay £50 or so per person with how expensive the dishes and how tiny the portions are. The staff were friendly at least, the atmosphere is good and the place was full, but the food was not like real tapas, just an overly convoluted menu with overpriced poor mediocre food.

Loved this place! Food was amazing, service was on point and the place was absolutely gorgeous. Still thinking about the food after my vacation, recommend booking a table a few weeks before if you want a table in the evening.
