When my husband and I go home to Belfast we always go to Maggie Mays for breakfast. My husband loves the bumper breakfast which consists of two eggs, beans, sausages, bacon chips, mushrooms, potato and soda bread at a cost of £6.00.

Newly opened, this cafe, bakery and deli is a welcome addition to the Queen's Quarter area of Belfast.

There is an instant glow of expectation when you step inside as the colours, comfy sofas, tables and chairs create a wonderfully warm ambience. Being new, the staff are welcoming, keen as mustard and seem genuinely pleased to see you. I popped in intending to have a quick sarnie but was tempted by the all day breakfast which was plentiful, filling, came with a large coffee and was a mere £4.95! The menu seems to have all sorts of light bites and more substantial dishes too.

I rather suspect this is going to become a firm favourite with the nearby university staff and students not to mention visitors to the newly opened Ulster Museum. My advice is to hurry in and sample the pleasures before too many other folk want in as well!

Having read about Cargoes in the Observer Food Review Awards this year, I thought I'd better give the place a try. It turned out to be a fabulous little eatery on the Lisburn Road serving a range of cuisine from Indian to Italian. The cafe has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are friendly and accommodating. There is a large takeaway menu or you can choose to sit in and enjoy table service. The delicatessen counter is well stocked with a huge variety of meats and cheese and the shelves are crammed with a range of interesting produce from all over the world. The cafe has outdoor seating which is perfect for a hot sunny day. I went to the cafe for Sunday breakfast and the menu was different to the menu during the rest of the week, featuring waffles, beigels, filled croissants and a twist on the full fry but I was drawn by one of their daily specials – waffles with white chocolate sauce and mixed berries. It was sublime!!! The bill was very reasonable considering the quality of the food and I will definitely be recommending the place to everyone I know!!
