Sometimes you've just got to come straight home and write a review. Clean, quiet place and nice staff. Just a heads up on menu options that weren't available and soup of the day would've been good without asking. That's so minor though. The food and drinks were incredible! Dirty chai latte with almond milk. So good. Turmeric latte, such a vivid colour and tasted so rich. We both had the tofu scramble. Hands down the best one we've ever had and genuinely as an occasional meat and fish eater, the best dish I've eaten in some time. Get it before they change the menu again!! Hopefully we'll be back very soon!
Absolutely class. Friend recommended this place to me and every time I've been had epic, healthy and generous options for food. Staff are really friendly, helpful and great craic.
I have been to Lynchpin several times and was back again this morning. It is always fantastic. The brunch options, especially the tasty toast options and their signature “Hash”, are always absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked and very well presented. The service is always excellent too. It is my vote for best brunch place in and around Belfast.
Came in for brunch on a weekend with family and had a great experience. It was very busy when we arrived so there was a little bit of a wait for a table for four but we were offered little samples of their homemade smoothies while we waited! The gal taking our order was super lovely and friendly. I was very impressed with my food. I ordered a chai latte and the Korean mushroom wings with slaw and homemade chipped chips and it was all delicious. The chipped chips were unreal, especially with their garlic mayo. Everything is plant-based and nothing was sacrificed in terms of flavor or quality. I couldn’t decide between two items so ordered their banh mi toastie to go which was also so flavorful. We will definitely be back again!
Lynchpin is a plant-based restaurant which specialises in brunch but hosts a Supper Club which changes monthly. We called down to try their Brunch menu which has good spread of sweet and savoury options. We started with the French Toast which was fantastic. We loved the poached pears and the bread itself; fluffy and perfectly cooked. Next we had the Satay Scramble which was also delicious! I loved the consistency and might be some of the best I have tried. The trimmings around it worked really well. We also tried The Hash which is a creative take on the tradition breakfast Hash. The Lebanese twist was very welcome with Hummus and crispy chickpeas working so well with the Hash potatoes. The service was very friendly and the location is very convenient, as it is right on Holywood's main street. Overall we had an amazing lunch! I can't wait to try one of their Supper clubs. I would absolutely advise anyone, vegan or not, to try this restaurant. You won't be disappointed!
This place is incredible Food is next level. Honestly some of the nicest food I have eaten out, everything was super fresh and beautifully presented. Coffee was super tasty and I'm a picky coffee person. The waitress helped me pick out which coffee would be best suited and she was right. Service was very quick and there is a lovely feel to the cafe itself! I can not recommend this place enough!
Popped in with my friend on Saturday and we can't wait to return. We only had time for coffee and cake this time, but that was enough to experience the warm, relaxing environment. The coffee was brilliant and both the cinnamon bun and chocolate cake were exceptional. The staff were also friendly, helpful and efficient. Looking forward to returning and sampling more of the menu!
Definitely worth the trip up from Cork! We had a lovely brunch of the focaccia sandwich and the Hash which were both so delicious and wholesome. Coffee, decor and service was lovely too:) we left with some takeaway treats; cinnamon roll & flapjack that were both delicious too! Will for sure be returning the next time we’re nearby
