“The best deal for fish in Belfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

I have been to Sole Seafood many times and have never been disappointed. The restaurant is conveniently located, tastefully decorated, relaxing to spend time in, and, most importantly, a first rate experience when it comes to sampling a wide range of delicious seafood for a very reasonable price. The staff are friendly, well organised and knowledgable about the fish on offer. Dishes are a sensible size, well presented and always bring out the taste of the fish, complimented by gently cooked seasonal vegetables. I cannot recommend this place highly enough- go try it for yourself!

“Heart and Sole”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

I found this little jewel on the Lisburn Rd around October time last year, and raved so much about it to my cousin that she made a special trip from Strabane just to try it. Well let me tell you it did'nt disappoint!
From the moment we walked through the door our culinary journey began. The first thing that hit us was that it was very busy, even so the staff met us with a warm friendly smile and calmly showed us to our table. The atmosphere was both buuzzing and relaxing at the same time you got the feeling you were in very safe hands. We were shown the menu but to tell you the truth I did'nt even look at it The selection of specials on the board blew me away!
I felt sorry for the waitress because she had to come back twice to take my order we just couldnt decide. We opted for fish cakes and chowder for starters and then scallops with smoked salmon and Gurnard with celeriac mash for mains.
Now I am a fish cake fan and I never stray away if I see it on a menu, it was superb the out side was crispy the potato was creamy with beautiful chunks of smokey fish running through it, and after you swallowed there was a wonderful surprise of heat from chilli slowly built up in the back of your throat. My guest also complemented the chowder saying that it was really stacked with fish and prawns. As for the mains, amazing the scallops were huge and my cousin said they were perfectly cooked. I got gurnard with the celariac mash, the fish was perfectly cooked moist flakey and the celeriac mash was wonderfully smooth and nutty in flavour.
To sum up the whole night the restaurant was buzzing, the service was relaxed attentive but not intrusive, and the food was out of this world. The restaurant sits back off the road and could easily be missed but search for it. The decor is simple ungimicky ( if there is such a word?) but suits the place perfectly as its all about the food! THIS PLACE HAS SOLE!
