About Jumon
Jumon is a women-owned Asian fusion restaurant in St George's Market that has earned a devoted following for its creative vegetarian and vegan cooking. The small-plates format encourages sharing and exploration—reviewers consistently praise the bold, layered flavours across dishes like the JFK (Jumon Fried Cauliflower), East Meet West cocktails, and inventive curries. The kitchen delivers generous portions at £20–30 per head, with a menu that works equally well for committed vegans and omnivores who find themselves pleasantly surprised. The space is casual and trendy with a curated soundtrack that draws diners in; staff are noted for warmth, attentiveness, and genuine engagement with tables. Solo diners report feeling particularly welcomed, while groups and families appreciate the variety and the gender-neutral facilities. Cocktails, tea selection, and desserts round out an experience that punches above its neighbourhood weight.
Jumon is one of those places where the dessert menu is not an afterthought — a detail regulars tend to mention first.

Multiple reviews single out cocktails—particularly the East Meet West (vodka and basil) and coconut margarita—as 'stunning' and 'the best in Belfast', with a noted great tea selection.

Solo diners report receiving 'a really warm welcome and a great table', while reviews note staff are 'lovely', 'friendly', and 'building rapport with their tables'; LGBTQ+ friendly and transgender safespace attributes reflect inclusive culture.
