  Close to Kelly's Cellars - great and friendly staff. Held our table, we were running late. Extremely fresh seafood - not just fish & chips.  Extensive menu, can't go wrong.  
  
  We were not rushed and will go back if in Dublin.  
  
  Don't let the reasonable prices fool you, expect an excellent dining experience without paying a small fortune.  
  
  Make a reservation.

  I love good seafood and here, at Mourne's, the seafood is very good.
  
  First it's a nice place. It's old, but very cosy and it's a comfortable place to sit and eat. The menu is varied, the service is happy and friendly and they take obvious pride in the presentation of their food.
  
  It's difficult to pick a favorite...Fishcakes, smoked salmon, goat's cheese, bream...it was all world class. I managed to move away from Guiness and was pleasantly surprised by their Shandon Stout which gets a special mention along with their chips (big and proper) and their coffee.
  
  However, I need to  make mention of the deserts. Fans of custard will love their pannacotta. It was nice, but not as good as the toffee pudding, and at least the equal of the chocolate fondant.
  
  Belfast is a wonderful city with some truly great eateries. Mourne's is up there with the best we tried.

  I guess the only drawback about this place is the wait! It took me 4 days to get reservations for my team of 7 and the one I got was at night 9.15! But it was so worth the wait! I ordered the seafood casserole. It was too much for just one person but the gravy and the all the seafood in it was awesome! My teammates ordered the large mussels basket and they were delicious too. We had their sticky toffee pudding and oh boy! It was too too good! This place is a must try when in Belfast

  The locals will tell you that Northern Ireland isn't known for "great" food but they highly recommend popping into Mourne for some fresh seafood. The food and service did not disappoint. The seafood chowder was well flavored and packed with different types of fish, my seafood bass came whole with potatoes and it was nicely seasoned. The high light of the evening for me was the warm sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream! Wow, so good! As luck would have it, they had a tad bit of Jamaican Wray & Nephew White Rum on the bar, my fave rum & rare to find in Europe bars.
  
  If in Belfast, I definitely recommend making a reservation at Mourne. They certainly made my birthday dinner memorable.

  It was pretty good but wasn't the hype I expected.
  
  Whole sea bass was good value
  Linguine was not worth it
  Chowder was good but small portions or big size charge and a bit salted.
  
  Once again pretty good and fresh but for the money and hype and big reviews not worth returning in my opinion.
