General Merchants Cafe

The service was excellent, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was excellent. The menu was diverse, offering something for everyone. There were plenty of options to choose from, making it easy for those with dietary restrictions to find something they could enjoy.

Sister restaurant to the GM on Ormeau Road, this is an equally lovely stylish brunch/lunch spot in Belfast. Staffed by the friendliest waiter, we ordered the chicken bulgur salad, the hash and eggs, all of which was genuinely spectacular. I live in London...and I wish they had a branch there it’s second to none.

The customer service at this restaurant was awful! A rude man greeted me at the entrance and although he said he had a suitable table for me, I ended up waiting for over a year before being told it wasn't his fault that I hadn't been seated yet. I was then told to wait outside! No thank you! I will not be returning. Speisekarte ansehen

My sister was unable to bring her stroller inside the restaurant for her baby, and was told to leave it outside without proper storage. Despite asking for an explanation, no one provided one and the staff refused to open the door until the stroller was removed. Furthermore, the QR scanner on my phone was not working, so I requested a paper menu from a waitress or asked for assistance in placing an order, only to be told that I had to use the QR scanner. I will not be returning to this restaurant.

I was walking in the area and was going to get a takeaway coffee but noticed they had some spare tables. I decided instead to sit in and I'm glad I did. I had a really nice bowl of porridge,cooked the way I like it,...not too dry , with some honey poured over it it was perfect as were the scrambled eggs. There was a nice atmosphere about the place, it's small and offers some outside seating although at this time of year it's not recommended. Staff were also very friendly and seemed happy in their job. If you are walking in the area this is a great place for a pit stop.

Only just discovered this place, and it’s a find. Be warned – it’s popular, and not very big, so you may have to queue outside for a while. It’s worth it. We’ve been twice now, and found the food, surroundings, and staff delightful. I walked...out with a smile on my face. Dishes sampled so far have been Huevos Rotos, Champiñón (twice), and Korean Dip. Dying of the supercold here, so can’t be my normal effusive self, going on for pages – just read the menu and you’ll get an idea of the treats in store for you. Everything is perfectly cooked, and very tasty. The coffee is good too, and there are various packages of chutneys, teas, coffees etc on the shelves to buy. This combination of imaginat...

For many years I struggled to find a restaurant serving a decent breakfast. That search ended when I, fortunately, found General Merchants east Belfast. What’s even more satisfying is that the trendy eatery, situated in a leafy part of East Belfast, is practically on my...doorstep. Situated on the Upper Newtownards Road, General Merchants East is impressive for the excellent quality and incredible consistency of both food and service. The staff are amiable and attentive, and the welcoming manager Mike runs a great ship. The best five-star hotel couldn’t match the food at GM. Even during the lockdown, the carry-out food remained at the same high standard – a commendable achievement given the...

I visited this facility last week with two friends. when we set ourselves, we were asked to sit on three chairs in the window. these seats are really not ideal, especially when ordering means of life, since this particular sitting area is very confined. we asked the staff as if we could sit, we could move to a normal table when one was available, and we were initially told that this would not be a problem from a worker. then another table was made available and a waitress told us we could move. we are on the way, and then a male worker came by and told us that we could not move as we were sitting. he was rude and he was not accommodating. I appreciate that it was a busy day in the day we too...

My family and myself travelled to this establishment on my birthday , when approaching I could see a small group of people outside so I demmed this an excellent sign of great food . Had trouble parking and left it on the side of...the road after trips around , we then left the car and walked around to the front entrance ,we were quicky seated and told to use the qr code to find the menu .The thing with the qr code is it's great but if your don't have it that can be a pain surely a few laminated menus that got cleaned would be easier but I digress . When looking at the brunch menu I thought it was bit lacking this place services a rather heavily loaded breakfast menu with a few lunch items li... Speisekarte ansehen
