Three bean chili is great. Had the sweet potato and black bean burrito, which was very good. Just need to exclude cheese and sour cream.

Pros: Taste, Price was reasonable , Portion

Cons: More options would be nice

Lovely atmosphere, easy to get vegan option

You need to ask to make things vegan but our waitress was SO accommodating and nice about it. If you order the tofu stir fry just ask for it without fish oil. Black bean and sweet potato burrito vegan with no cheese. Has a veggie burger didn’t ask if it was vegan cause I didn’t want it. Great experience. Food was excellent. Staff was incredible. Highly recommend.

Pros: Beautiful location right in downtown Belfast , Staff are above average friendly and accommodating, Great laid back atmosphere alc and non alc options

Cons: Just make sure you let them know you’re vegan bc…., They seemed thrilled to accommodate us

Get creative

The staff are incredibly friendly & helpful. I’ve had 2 dishes that can be vegan - pad Thai & Buddha bowl. I first ordered the pad Thai which was fine. I’m always grateful to just have an option available. The 2nd time I got the Buddha bowl - the vegan version (soy & water broth) isn’t worth ordering BUT the noodles & veggies in it were great. So I ordered the satay sauce & took out the veggies & noodles to make my own dish. Next time I’ll order the pad Thai with extra veggies & I think that will work out great.

Good pub food.

We ate the sweet potato and black bean burrito and the bean chili. Everything was excellent. We asked for no cheese or sour cream and the server asked if we were vegan and made sure everything was good.

Pros: Large portions and tasty. , Good selection of local beers.

Cons: Interior was very dark.

Bland with a hint of carelessness

Well I ordered the Big Buddha Bowl with tofu and as vegan for take out. When I asked for the vegan swap the server asked the chef if that was possible and the replied-“yeah the sauce will just be water and soy sauce” Sadly, I cannot say for sure if there was any other flavor than just water and streamed vegetables. The peppers and boc choy were ok, but the cuts were also quite large. I had to bite them in half and even still did not have enough in comparison with the quantity of noodles. Also had about 6 tiny mushrooms. If I ate in the restaurant I would have sent this dish back. 2 stars because at least they listened to my request and delivered something edible.

Pros: Staff was nice , Interesting interior

Cons: Uninspired product , Cost was extravagant

Quite accommodating

We chose Darby's as one of the apparently two most vegan-friendly dinner choices in Belfast. The atmosphere was really fun and busy with several dining rooms in and next to the pub area. There were a couple obvious vegan options on the menu, and when I asked further the server offered THREE different times to go chat with the chef to ask questions, and then after ordering returned to offer another accommodation for creating a special request with even more vegetables. I ended up with a huge bowl of vegan Pad Thai and lots of vegetables. It was a great experience, yummy food, and an ample portion.

Pros: Good quality options, Fun, friendly atmosphere, Accommodating staff

Cons: Not many vegan options

Yum and yummer

This place has such a cool environment! My friend ordered the pad thai and loved it and I ordered the portobello sandwich. My sandwich was pretty bland just mushroom and bread but it was still good! My friend really enjoyed the pad thai too. The waitress was very friendly and again the environment is so cool! Parkings a little hard to get but otherwise great! Also definitely recommend snapping a photo with the elephant on the theater building!
