AMPM Restaurant 38-42 Upper Arthur Street, Belfast BT1 4GH

"Nice relaxed atmosphere with friendly helpful staff. Well made cocktails! My date and I had the Prawn Cocktail (warm) & the chicken starter and both wet presented beautifully and tasted as good as they looked. For mains we chose Duck two Ways & the Chicken Supreme. Again great presentation and full of flavour and perfectly seasoned, Good portions had no room for desert unfortunately. We both had a great dining experience and will definitely return."

"We looked up for a place to have lunch in downtown Belfast and AMPM came across our search. Glad that happened. The decor definitely draws your attention when you go in and it might be a bit overwhelming for some people—not a problem for us. Food was amazing, especially the kids menu. Staff made sure we felt welcomed all the time."

"The interior is very fancy - old fashioned fancy though. Maybe a bit tacky for my tastes. I had the vegetarian menu. I was in their other restaurant 'cabaret supper club' 9 years ago, and the vegetarian menu has not changed. This is extremely disappointing as the vegetarian menu in most restaurants has come a long way. I had goats cheese to start and risotto as main. Both were alright. I would definitely have something else next time if i had the choice. The sticky toffee pudding was fantastic though. The last comment I have to make is about the men's toilets. I have no idea if this is also a problem in the women's toilets. There's one stall; and it has no door! If you want privacy when doing a number 2, go elsewhere!"

"Went for dinner with two friends on a Saturday evening. Table was booked. We arrived slightly late and I’m not sure what happened but the bartender and a male waiter seemed to be at loggerheads and we waited about half an hour before we had a table. Then there was a very argumentative guest who had a massive go at a waitress, which was a bit awkward. It’s very, very small, almost claustrophobic with the very intense decor, not a space wasted but intimate and quirky. The back of our booth wobbled something shockingly due to the guests behind us and there were other things I noticed about the place needing repair. Music was good but the volume definitely went up midway through the dinner and it just made conversation very difficult as the speaker was right above us. The waiter was very nice, however. The food was lovely though the vegan bruschetta (on the vegan menu!) came out with cheese on top, which was a bit annoying. The cocktail menu was limited which we informed of on the menu to provide a quicker service but I wonder if this is really due to staffing issues but otherwise they were nice. Mains were lovely as well. Would still recommend but probably at a quieter time."
