The Big Breakfast

The Big Breakfast in Belfast is a beloved café spot that does exactly what the name promises—serves up massive, satisfying breakfasts that are perfect for setting you up for the day. Tucked away in the city, it's a no-frills, locally loved place known for its proper Ulster fry: sausages, bacon, eggs, soda and potato bread, beans, mushrooms, and tomatoes, all cooked to order and served piping hot. You’ll also find breakfast baps, omelettes, and toasties on offer, with decent tea and coffee to match.

It’s a favourite with tradespeople, office workers, and anyone after a hearty, affordable meal. The interior is simple and clean, with counter service and a friendly, down-to-earth vibe. Don’t expect fancy décor or artisan menus—this is honest, comforting food done well. The portions are famously generous and the staff are known for remembering regulars' orders. If you're in Belfast and craving a fry-up that doesn't mess about, The Big Breakfast delivers the goods.
