Shed Bistro, Belfast

Visited Shed today for lunch with my husband and I have to say it was flawless! The food was top notch, we think the winner was the scallop starter, although everything was perfect. From service to food to feeling safe. Can't believe we left it so long to go. We will be back. Gorgeous little gem in the heart of the Ormeau Rd.

1. Friendly staff. 2. Beautiful decor. 3. Spotless clean. 4. Great menu 5. Amazing tasting food. Thank you so much guys and we will be back.

Shed Bistro Shed Bistro opened its doors in 2012 and since then has been our “go to” eatery on the Ormeau Road. It was taken over in 2018 by the amazing husband and wife team of Jonny and Christina Taylor, and in 2019 the restaurant won two prestigious awards-Bistro of the Year for Northern Ireland in the NI Food Awards, and Casual Dining of the Year in Co Antrim in the NI Hospitality Awards. We began our evening with some terrific cocktails, and we were looking forward to an evening of top-notch food. We weren’t disappointed. The starters included Pan Roasted Scallops with Cucumber Ketchup, Lime Mayo, & a Squid Ink Tuile, Sticky Beef Salad with Sweet Chilli & Ginger, Sesame Crusted Tuna Loin with Pickled Ginger, Asian Slaw, & Yuzu Mayo, and Rabbit Rillettes with Apricot Jam, Sourdough & Pistachios. The main courses were even more delicious, and it was almost impossible to choose a favourite dish. The Pan-Roasted Plaice was served on the bone with Greens and a Saffron Velouté, the Shellfish Risotto had King Prawns, Scallops, & a variety of Fresh Shellfish, and the Manor Farm Corn-Fed Chicken was moist and succulent with Dauphinoise Potatoes & Pepper Sauce, accompanied by the most wonderfully crispy Polenta Chips. To finish, we were so bowled over by the intriguing “Cheese Menu”, featuring both local and continental cheeses, that we couldn’t resist ordering the complete selection to share, and the Pineapple Carpaccio with Coconut Jelly, Rum Syrup, and Raspberry Sorbet was a refreshing palate cleanser. We also enjoyed the tangy Lemon Tart with Raspberry & Crème Fraiche.

I recently dined here with my boyfriend on a Saturday we arrived half an hour early and it was no problem for the staff they were excellent! I had a gorgeous steak sandwich and my boyfriend had a pork dish both were fabulous! Lovely atmosphere in this restaurant!

Ate here a couple of weeks ago with my partner, food was amazing 10/10. I had the duck breast and my partner had the crab and king prawn risotto. Can’t wait to return!

We were born and bred in Belfast but have lived in England for 32 years. Deprived of great food and good cráic we love to return to our hometown to feast at the numerous restaurants which have sprung up in the last decade. The Shed Bistro typifies the modern Belfast dining experience. A warm welcome, thoughtful menu, classy chefs, and experienced serving staff. It all adds up to a great dining experience. It’s all efficient and on the ball. You get quality food well prepared at a reasonable price. Looking forward to trying its sister restaurant in October

8 of us attended Shed Bistro for a graduation lunch on Saturday afternoon. Due to Covid regulations we were seated at two separate tables of four, next to each other; this worked well and ensured we were safe. We experienced first class service and food and everyone enjoyed the lunch and wine selections. Staff were professional yet friendly and kindly decorated our table with graduation balloons and graduation scrolls that we had provided. A very pleasant afternoon at this lovely neighbourhood bistro. Thank you!
