I’ve been to this restaurant a couple of times, once with a large Hen Party of friends over from England and they all thought the food amazing. Staff were lovely and very tolerant of such noisy crowd! More recently I visited with my sister who enjoyed it also. They could offer more vegetarian options, but apart from this, Holohans at the Barge serve gorgeous food. The one vegetarian option I tried was delicious, plus the wine was good too. Atmosphere is laid back and relaxed. I’d highly recommend this restaurant.

Really enjoyed my first visit to Holohan’s at the Barge. It’s a relaxed, brightly lit restaurant with a philosophy of using local Northern Ireland produce to create dishes. My sister and I hit it lucky last night when we called in on the off chance of a table and managed to get one due to a cancellation. Though it’s usually very busy so pre-booking is normally essential.
I had a main of dumplings, mushrooms and vegetables in a cep cream sauce. It was beautiful, really flavoursome and delicious, my only criticism being that for £13 I would have liked more food on my plate. I literally could have eaten two portions, so I would recommend ordering a side with this dish. We shared an Irish cheese board for dessert with pickles, chutney and breads — whoops a big slip up with my Vegan November — but I’m back on track from today!
All in all a lovely little restaurant with the added novelty factor of being located on a barge, plus excellent service and delicious food. I’ll definitely return but only wish they had a couple more vegetarian options on their menu and slightly larger portion sizes, which in my opinion would move them up from a four star to a five star rating.

Wonderful food. Friendly and attentive staff. Good prices and fun location what more could you want? We’d been looking forward to eating here since seeing reviews on other websites. We are only in Belfast for a couple days and ate here our first night. It did not disappoint.
We started with goat cheese soufflé and it was great very light. I had the monkfish and my fiancé had their speciality the boxty with seafood chowder (almost like a potato crêpe) and both were delicious. We drank beer, cider, whiskey, and ended with cappuccino and shared their chocolate peanut butter dessert. Given all that we thought it was not as expensive as we would have thought… Well worth it!
The ambiance is fun — I mean eating on a barge is fun but is intimate as well. Don’t miss this place!

Dining on a boat on the Lagan, whats not to love?
The barge is permanently docked of course! This restaurant opened about a year or so ago and is one of the top reviewed in Belfast — a must have for locals and visitors.
Traditional Irish Food, Lunch & Dinner Menu, Licensed Premises, Restaurant On The Barge, Excellent Atmosphere & Staff
The food is Irish bistro, the staff all seem to be one big happy family and the surroundings are quite romantic. it is a small space (being a barge and all that) so they are limited in numbers — call ahead to book to avoid disappointment.
