Cafe Fish

A south Belfast institution for fish suppers, this long-running chippy has earned a reputation that stretches well beyond its Malone-side neighbourhood. Everything centres on properly fried fish in a light, crisp batter, and the kitchen takes its craft seriously enough to have collected national chip-shop honours for quality, service and value. The Cod Supper is the order most people swear by, with huge portions, freshly cut chips and a friendly word over the counter that keeps queues good-humoured even at the busiest times.

Diners rate it 4.4/5, and the consensus among locals is blunt and affectionate: many call it the best chipper in the city, full stop. A few grumble that quality this good does not come cheap, but the loyalty speaks for itself, with families returning week after week. There is a small sit-in option alongside the takeaway trade, and the place holds a solid Food Hygiene Rating, so you can tuck in with confidence whether you eat in or carry your supper home.
