Beyond the pre-packed sandwich – Snax ‘n the City
Posted: 18 January '10 by Kelly
Snax n the City, Belfast
Like most people I find myself in a bit of a rut when it comes to what to eat over lunchtime. Most days it ends up with me sitting at my desk eating a horrible pre-packed sandwich!! So, when a colleague suggested “Snax ‘n the city” I jumped at the chance to try something new.
It’s a small enough sandwich bar on Linenhall Street in Belfast that serves most things – from full breakfasts to sandwiches to hot food. It’s normally very busy (which is always a good sign), packed with people on their lunch hour. As it was so cold outside I decided that I needed something filling and warming – and the traditional stew certainly fit the bill. It was fantastic.. a delicious and hearty Irish stew served with two thick slices of fresh wheaten bread. The £4.15 price may seem a little extravagant for a lunch-time meal but this was hardly a light snack – I struggled to finish the stew (although I did force myself – the things I do for our readers!).
My friend Elaine tried the lasagne which came with a fresh salad, coleslaw and two pieces of garlic bread – and at £4.95 that seems like real value for money to me.
While you can eat in we decided to take our lunch back to the office. The food was packed in neat little containers – these were so well designed that even I was able to eat my lunch without making a mess at my desk!
Our Verdict
I am making Snax ‘n the city a regular lunch-time treat – the menu is quite varied and there is plently to choose from so you wont get bored. They also seem to have fairly quick service which, if you have a short lunch-break, is an absolute must.
Make sure you try the stew, it really is delicious.

I do enjoy the food but the coffee and service weren’t good as the lady behind the counter appeared to be more occupied in cleaning the counter than serving myself and two other customers!! Saying that the sarnie made up for it – hopefully I just caught them on a bad day!!
