Belfast | Restaurants & Cafes | Fish & Chips

Born in 1962, this enduring local legend has served many's a punter with some of the finest fish and chips in town. Fresh catches of cod, whiting and scampi arrive daily from the Co. Down village of Portavogie and are cooked on site. And traditional homemade pasties, belly busting burgers and large fries (Ulster, not French) keep the hungry hoardes coming back for more. Slip into church pew booths and admire the gallery of Belfast photos as you feast like a Shankill native (no city centre prices here). Authentic, unpretentious and great value - Beatties is undoubtedly the real deal.

First came the name, then came the chips. Whatever side of the fence you're on, you've got to admire the sheer genius behind this inspired piece of marketing. Its eye-catching mural, with Paisley and Adams declaring their mutual love of the deep fried fodder, has already garnered natio [...]

For almost a century, Long's has been serving misers, minions and millionaires its classic chips-with-everything fast-food fodder. The wood-panelled walls and formica booths provide an authentic chip shop backdrop for folk who like their food sans the fancy trimmings, designer vibe or faux-retro decor. Honest-to-goodness fried food from the oldest chippy in town. As they say in Belfast, you can't beat it with a big stick. Find it off Grosvenor Rd. [...]

We simply love this counter-service chip shop for daring to offer students, suits and the slightly sozzled (it's on the pub-strewn Golden Mile) a fantastic array of fast food. Yes they've got the usual chips and burgers, but how about a baked potato filled with chicken in pepper sauce, lasagne and 'slaw or bacon, cabbage & mash to take away or eat in at their tiny metal tables. These Belfast guys and gals do it better than the big boys, so get stuck in.

Bangor may well be the jewel in Co. Down's crown and it's no wonder, it's a beautiful seaside town with great shopping, wonderful scenery and it's also home to The Frying Squad, one of Northern Ireland's most famous fish and chip shops. So after walking the marina and taking in the refreshing seaside air, a fish supper from The Frying Squad is the perfect way to round off your stay in Bangor. [...]
