John Long’s Fish Chips

★ 4.4 / 5 (5387 reviews)

Just a few steps away from the stunning Opera House lies one of Belfast’s hidden treasures, John Long’s, the longest established fish and chip shop in the city. Recognized as one of Belfast’s top seven wonders alongside landmarks like the Europa Hotel, Linen Hall Library, and the Crown Liquor Saloon, John Long’s has become a cherished spot for both locals and visitors alike. For a century, the people of Belfast have celebrated their love for fish suppers at John Long's. Here, you'll discover a combination of great food, value, and a vibrant atmosphere—everything you need for a memorable meal. We take immense pride in crafting what we believe to be the best fish suppers not just in Belfast, but in the whole country. Our secret? Fresh fish, light and crispy batter, Maris Piper potatoes, and our renowned homemade pasties. It’s good food, and plenty of it! Honoring the NI Year of Food and Drink in 2016, we introduced gluten-free options, including delicious chili cod, lemon haddock, and natural smoked hake, ensuring there's something for everyone to savor. While Long's may have been a local secret, word has certainly spread! We've had some notable visitors drop by for a supper, including Brendan Fraser, Sean Bean, and the lads from Take That. Even Eamon Holmes declared that if he had just a couple of days to live, he'd spend it with us at Long’s—now that's a compliment! Comedian and television presenter Dara Ó Briain has also paid us a visit to sample our acclaimed fish supper. So why not come and experience Long's for yourself? Nestled close to the Europa Hotel on Athol Street, we would love to welcome you to Belfast's oldest chipper. As Joris Minne from the Belfast Telegraph puts it, “The quality of John Long’s is exceptional and unmatched…”.
