The Morning Star Bar & Restaurant

Always knew of the Morning start and always thought of it as a wee pub down joys entry!! Hubby decided to eat here for my birthday and honestly it is a hidden gem!! The food was absolutely outstanding, the shared starter was amazing it was a meal in itself, the flavours, the staff, the atmosphere was just perfect and very welcoming. The bar man even brought 2 different bottles of wine over for us to try before we decided. Nothing was too much bother. Will definitely be back.

Never fails to deliver! Their sharing steaks are absolutely something that needs to be experienced but wasn't on the menu on our visit. Burgers were a great choice as well as their cocktails!

I had the beef and it was the nicest meal I've had in years. My mouth's still watering thinking about it. We scraped the plates clean, they wouldn't of needed washed after 🤣. The veg, potatoes, Yorkshire, gravy, everything was unreal. My daughter had the cheeseburger and chips and it was beautiful too. Never a bad meal here. My favourite place 😍

This is our first time in Belfast and coming to Morning Star was our first taste of what this city has to offer… we were not disappointed at all! The food from the restaurant upstairs was absolutely amazing and probably one of the best meals I’ve had in quite a while. We got the Potted Beef to start, which was phenomenal, the meat was melting in my mouth and the gravy rich and delicious. I have the Chicken Parmigiana (which is one of my all time favourite meals) and this is hands down the best one I’ve ever had (outside of Australia)! My partner got the Fish & Chips and being Kiwi’s, it’s hard to beat back home, but he said his meal was great and so fresh. The service was amazing from Owen and the other gentlemen working, they were so friendly and attentive, they also made some really delicious cocktails! All round 20/10 for me, I’d come back to Belfast, just to come here again!

The Morning Star is a true gem in the heart of Belfast. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a warm, traditional pub atmosphere, full of charm and character. The staff are friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. The food is excellent – hearty and delicious, with great local options like their famous pies and steaks. The bar has a brilliant selection of local craft beers and whiskeys, perfect for any enthusiast. Whether you’re in for a meal or just a drink, The Morning Star never disappoints. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Belfast!”

We both had the roast beef. Food was delicious but portion size was very small for the price paid. £17 for the roast beef was very steep for the size of portion we got. Only half a carrot and no other vegetables! Food was also quite cold which was disappointing. They also charge £1.50 for dilute which I just can’t digest! Don’t think I would recommend, there is better value elsewhere around the city.

Owen was superb very attentive. Went to lounge upstairs for a quick lunch. Food arrive quick and taste soooo good, fresh chips nice steak and good peppercorn sauce. Very good value and nice atmosphere. If looking for quick quality well priced one try it out. Never go wrong with steak in morning star.

Went to the Morning star on two occasions when visiting Belfast. On the first occasion we went for drinks on a Saturday and the vibe was so good- busy pub, good service and friendly staff! On the second occasion we visited on the Monday for lunch. Three of us had the steak and Guinness pie and one had the beef dinner. We were all really impressed with the food& if ever in Belfast again would 100% visit! One of the best pies I’ve ever had!!
