Great selection of really good food, accompanied by a friend who is vegetarian and there really was a wonderful choice for her too. Lovely atmosphere, very clean and thoroughly enjoyable, would highly recommend for lunch or just a great cup of coffee.

My wife shops here a lot. They have a lovely café but also sell nice unusual things for your home.

My partner and I travelled to Belfast only for one day and we felt pressured to make the most of it and wanted to enjoy a lovely meal out!. We consider ourselves foodies and we were not disappointed by Avoca. We checked out tripadvisor and were by Avoca so we thought we would check it out. Downstairs is quite a... More

Difficult to describe. It's a coffee shop, deli, gift shop, book shop all rolled into one. The liver pate has pistachios and it's excellent. There are interesting gifts and books too. Good to just stop for coffee or even have lunch.

My wife and girlfriends LOVED this place. They shopped in the store portion, bought soaps, china, and even Avoca cook books. Then they relaxed at the restaurant / cafe upstairs. The food is excellent. The value is excellent. You can even take some of the cuisine to go. I give it two thumbs up and have no hesitation offering my... More

Just visited titanic quarter and really enjoyed the experience. More as a testament and reflection of the ingenuity and hard work of the original expolited cratspersons, rather than the exhibition itself.It was at times exciting, but most often like a huge school project. Looking for fuel in the city,we found ourselves surrounded by the usual suspects. Then a chance encounter... More

My family were out in Belfast together at the weekend and wanted a nice fresh lunch which wasn't a sandwich...something which can be a challenge to find in Belfast's city centre. My boyfriend and I had eaten breakfast in Avoca before so I recommended we give it a go for lunch. There is always a bit of a queue to... More

Went to Avoca today for the first time after hearing lots of positive reviews. Bit of a bizarre set up - like eating in a posh canteen, very busy but the food was delicious, and the service was impressive for it being in the lunchtime rush on a Friday. Chicken and broccoli bake is to die for, and the shop... More
