The Chubby Cherub
This was our first time visiting any of the chubby cherub restaurants in Belfast and we will NOT be back. We had dinner in the Lisburn road chubby cherub this evening and it was the worst experience we’ve ever had in any restaurant in Belfast. We waited over an hour for our starter after asking the waiter where it was and he had to confirm what we ordered again (and after it came they got mine wrong), this was after a few tables came in after us had already got their starter and just started their main course. After ordering our second drink it came 30 minutes after ordering and again after we chased it with a waiter. Our main course came, my husband couldn’t fault the food but my risotto was bland and a bit cold. Half way through our meal we were asked to move to a booth to accommodate a bigger table as there was about 15 of them and they were practically on top of us. After asking for the bill we had also noticed a 10% service charge had been added without letting us know!! I had asked for this to be removed and the waiter was very understanding of it. The organisation in the place is terrible to be honest and the service wasn’t the best. Even when we came in and left the restaurant there was no greeting or thanks for coming; just “have you got a booking.”Wouldn’t recommend to anyone who wants a nice meal and wants their drinks on time.

We came here with high hopes after the incredible refurbishment of this building.The starters were incredibly disappointing. £8.50 for a very small Bruschetta. It’s labelled on the menu as a “Classic Italian Bruschetta” but there was nothing Italian about it. Bread was over cooked, simply covered with endless toppings ruining the true authentic taste.The pizza was mediocre. Wafer-thin crust which only broke on you, with a below average taste and texture.They say “first impressions leave a lasting one” and this impression will regretfully not see a return.

Went at lunch time and food was tasty, they do a very good Caesar salad and a decent carbonara. Drink selection was good, cocktail menu had good variety. Service could be improved upon, server we had seemed like he didn't have a clue (may have been a new start but didn't express that to us) would have expected better knowledge from the servers. Lovely interior design, although tables were very close together which can be a bit awkward. Went for a simple lunch but ended up putting a hefty dent in the bank account, felt it was a wee bit overpriced for a simple salad and pasta. Could be a good fancy dinner spot, just wouldn't recommend if you are looking for a simple lunch.

Faultless food, excellent vegetarian and meaty options, great to see local ingredients shine in fine Italian cooking. We found the portion sizes to be generous and plates very well balanced, you could never get bored eating here, each mouthful is exciting and delicious. Service was of as high a standard as you will find anywhere. Attentive, knowledgeable staff, a wonderful friendly atmosphere. Can't wait to be back.

I give a full five star! Maybe I am not from Belfast hence I am not aware of the price point, but I thought the cost charged for the food and service was perfect and my boyfriend and I had a lovely lunch. I was amazed by the portion and the food was great. We had meatballs as our entrée too. It may not be the traditional Italian but that’s why it was so delicious- Italian with some British twist :). For example, I thought carbonara with chicken was quite unique, but I thought why not and it turned out to be great. I also got coffee cake for later (take away) and it was also very nice.I think it’s a little funny that a lot of reviews really liked the interior- I was a little held back with the bright chandeliers but nevertheless I can tell a lot of work has gone into this place.

4 of us booked for lunch and I ordered the vegan spaghetti. How they can justify charging anyone 17.00 for a bowl of grated carrot is beyond me! We couldn't believe it! Had to go home and make myself more food! Definitely won't be returning!

I went out with my brother to The Chubby Cherub for lunch on 29/9/23. The staff were very friendly & helpful. They got a table prepared for us outside as it was a nice day. We had a look at the menu & then ordered our lunch. Good is excellent here. The Chubby Cherub is on The Lisburn Road in The Caddigan area of Belfast & is well worth a visit to see for yourself what the food is like. Stephen Acton.

Service was very slow, even though the restaurant was not that busy. We were a party of 3. First meal was served and we were told the remaining two would be a couple of minutes. It was at least 10 minutes before the next one was served. And the final meal was at least another 5mins. Which had to be sent back as toppings were missing from the pizza. The pizzas themselves were so thin, it was almost like a tortilla wrap base. And there was so little goats cheese on it that you could barely taste it. One member ordered meatballs and they were very dry. It just was not the experience we were expecting.

Visited the Chubby Cherub with my daughter today for the first time on the Lisburn road. Absolutely beautiful and as the Sun shine we were able to sit outside to eat . The Cesar salad was outstanding and mussels were just perfect washed down with a Bramble & a Spritz Prosecco
