Eipic - Belfast

Superb. We were heading to Belfast for a week with work and a friend recommended Love Fish so we booked a few weeks ahead. The service was excellent, the food was the best I've tasted in a while. The monkfish is to die for! Highly recommend.

Had dinner here 30th June 2023 by way of celebration for our son graduating from Queens University, his choice! We have been before as often as we can being from distant Tyrone and quite simply are never disappointed! Warmly welcomed as always, usual dilemma of what to choose for my wife and son and straight down to business. We all enjoyed a simple pre starter with our drinks and then ordered. We all had the tempura prawns and vegetables which were simply exquisite before devouring haddock in my case, risotto with scallops for my son and the boss had a piece of baked cod which looked monumental! The Deane lager is to die for, as is the house rose and a stinking good coffee to finish! All enjoyed under the ever watchful eye of the owner who patrolled religiously as he always seems to do. Not hard to see why standards are maintained and cannot wait to return again as we undoubtedly shall. Not in any rush to take payment and get you out either. Superb meal, many thanks! Oh and by the way, I am not a fish lover normally, but I will happily make an exception for excellence!

Fishcake starter was not convincing, however the risotto with scallops, shrimps and icecream for desert were great. Also the wines matched very well.

While sightseeing in the city, I stumbled upon this restaurant and decided to book lunch for the next day. I was not disappointed! The seafood was fantastic, well-prepared, and served by a friendly staff. The wines were a great complement to the dishes. The atmosphere was light and airy, resembling a chic French bistro.

My husband and I were in the restaurant at 5pm for dinner in August. I had half lobster and my husband had sea bass. The staff were very pleasant. The two meals were poor. The lobster had very little fish inside and the side salad in the bowl was small and dripping in oil and not well presented. My husbands salad was the same and his fish did not taste nice. We both had a beer before our meal which was flat and not nice. My husband did not drink his. I had a glass of wine with my meal which was fine. Not long after my meal my stomach was rumbling. Later that evening my husband said his was the same. Next day my stomach continued to be upset. Hence to say that I will not be back to Deans Love Fish again. I would not even accept a free meal. We have been a few times to Deans on the Lisburn Road. The food there has been good with excellent service. Extremely disappointed
