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 crepe) 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! -

It was a Bank Holiday at noon place was empty service was quick food the Hake was prepared perfectly
It is an old barge in the river it is hard to see out and it's old in many ways
If you're looking to down a pint or six it's probably OK the food was excellent and environment has a little to be desired -

Dining on a cozy boat permanently docked by the Barge is certainly a unique experience. The food doesn't disappoint either! I ordered the Pan Boxty with smoked cod and Glenarm salmon. It was so delicious I practically licked the plate. The pancake wrap is usually made of potato flour, Holohans use corn flour. It was lighter and I enjoyed the taste better than potato. Staff was super friendly. All of Ireland and Northern Ireland service is top notch. I don't ever recall a bad or mediocre experience. Highly recommended.

Holohans was so welcoming after a full 24 hours of cars, planes and airports. Absolutely top food and drinks, fantastic service, and super cool location. They were able to accommodate us between seatings (we were sans reservation) on a Friday evening. Every other table was full of folks enjoying a lingering dinner and drinks, there was not a sour face in the joint.
Thank you Holohans, you set the bar HIGH! -

The most amazing meal and experience of our entire trip! Hey Gordon Ramsey - this is what a perfectly run restaurant looks like. Holohans is an intimate and warm little restaurant on a small boat on the river. We were so fortunate in that it was literally around the corner from the Hilton where we were staying and popped up on my Yelp search of the area. We had two different types of Boxty - the traditional pancake stuffed with seafood (that night's special) and the dumpling style boxty with kale and peas. Both were out of this world. The portions were huge and we almost licked the plates. They do not store food and so all of the ingredients were fresh. Do not leave without trying the Guinness sticky pudding - the best dessert I have ever had. Both servers were absolutely incredible and watching the kitchen work their magic was like nothing I have ever seen. We made reservations online which I highly recommend.
