I will never go there again.... everI had my worst ever dining experience at this place. A queue, a teenage birthday party at the next table with very loud screamy girls (okay, that could happen anywhere), a long wait culminating in a messed up order, rancid coleslaw, and then food poisoning. I'd rather just get popcorn at the cinema next time.

YumPooh Bear (or Poor Bear as they have to call it)... need I say more. Mauds has to be the best icecream, and the honeycomb icecream tops them all. The Belfast Tourist Board should ensure every tourist tastes it just to make sure they come back. And the other flavours aren't half bad either. Can't speak for this restaurant in particular, just the icecream hence the three stars.

Just what is says on the tinThe only vestige of this being an old bank is the cash machine outside, but the Gourmet Burger bit is self explanatory. The burgers and salads are great (and there's an Ulster Fry on weekends too). It's family friendly and comes equipped with a plentiful supply of toys and games - so beware if you can't stand children playing jenga at the next table. You can't book and sometimes there is a wait for a table, but there are comfy sofas where you can have a drink and peruse the menu.

Good rustic fareDarcy's is a bit dark and can be a bit noisy, but it's great for good rustic home-style cooking. I wouldn't say I'm a regular, but I've been quite a few times and I'll probably go again!

Great localI live up the road from Bennetts so it is pretty much my local, and while it's not the fanciest place in the world, it is friendly with good bistro food and a nice atmosphere. The weekend breakfast is fantastic. For a great burger, the Gourmet Burger Bank just up the road is a better bet, but Bennetts can be relied on for a range of different foods, a changing special pizza, and the usual bistro-ish food. Bit noisy at times, but I've always found it good for business lunches.
