Bank Square Brasserie

Bank Square Brasserie is a centrally located restaurant with all the classic dishes but with their own twist. We were looking for a restaurant which could seat 12 and the team at Bank Square were more than happy to accommodate us. The interior is modern and super inviting and the menu is fabulous, especially the vegan/plant-based menu - it is the best I have seen for a non-vegan restaurant in Belfast to date. There are a selection of starters, mains and desserts, so definitely not the standard beyond meat burger at the end of the menu 😅 We started with the Oyster Mushroom 'Scallops' which were small but packed a punch. The flavours were balanced perfectly. We also had the Korean Fried Cauliflower Wings. These were some of the best I have ever had! Sometimes with Cauliflower it can be overcooked and go to mush, whereas these had the perfect amount of bite and a light crunchy batter with the sweet BBQ sauce - delicious! Next we had the Salt N' Chilli Mock Duck which was rich, salty and super crunchy. With the lime and chilli mayo and chips it went down well. We also had the Mushroom Seitan Burger, which had a double patty, some vegan bacon and cheese, giving more of a smash burger feel. The pickles and sauce really lifted it and overall was absolutely delicious, probably the best vegan burger I have had in Belfast. Even the chips were delicious and were like McDonalds french fries but done to a restaurant standard. Alongside all this gorgeous food we also had some cocktails. The selection wonderful and the price very reasonable. I had my first white Russian in years! They have almond milk white Russians here and it was so tasty. Overall as you can read from my tone above, I absolutely loved this experience. To make it even better I have to call out the fantastic service, we were served by Brendan who was brilliant. He made sure we had everything we needed but also brought his own character and banter which was much appreciated. This restaurant is fantastic top to bottom and is setting an extremely high bar for other restaurants in Belfast. This is a must visit if you have not been before, I myself will be going back asap! 😁

We visited late December for our work staff do and I was so impressed with the service, the staff and the quality of the food and cocktails. I had never been before and will definitely be back. Special mention to our server Brendan who was absolutely amazing and had a great sense of humour. The staff were all amazing and the food was quick :) Couldn't have been a better experience
