The fry at Slim's Healthy Kitchen was better than I expected, largely because of the Cumberland sausage whirl. Decent poached eggs but the homemade baked beans were nothing to write home about.

General Merchants is hideously over priced. Suppose the prices are in relation to the
Ulster Rugby legends gracing that establishment with their God like patronage.

I've been to James St South and thought it was as good as a couple of one star Michelin places I've been to, and cheaper as well.

So it's good but I agree with BR, it will stand out and be hyped more in Belfast than it would in, say, London.

I'm fairly rarely in Belfast which limits my coffe options somewhat. Ground is one of my favourite spots of the bigger chains in terms of value and distance. New Havan and Love coffee in Lurgan both nice spots, not that I dare enter Lurgan that often

If you want proper coffee the only place is SD Bells coffee shap

Coffee may well have reached Ursa Minor, but I'm fairly sure they're still struggling with the concept of hot water in Middletown.

Middletown is my favourite coffee place to go to, have yet to have a bad drink there.

Randomly ended up in Bob & Bert's coffee shop in Ballymena a few weeks ago. Pretty good. I think they have other shops along the north coast and near the Big Shmoke.

They're franchising the ballix out of it, expect more outlets than Nero in 12 months
