Tips / Destination

For a great treat meal in the capital of Northern Ireland, check out these fine-dining establishments.

Top of the list should be Deanes EIPIC, a Michelin-star restaurant that uses local ingredients to spectacular effect. It’s modern dining at its best, and you’re guaranteed an amazing meal.

For something more laid-back, try AMPM. This bohemian joint serves French and Irish dishes in a beautiful restaurant replete with candles.

A more affordable fine-dining alternative is Ivory, which boasts two outdoor, balcony dining areas that look down over the city. And it’s not just the views that will stay long in the memory; the award-winning chefs cook up a storm, too.

Head to the Cathedral Quarter to try the simple and elegant dishes of the Muddlers Club, a hip restaurant right in the middle of town. Down on the River Lagan you will find OX, an award-winning restaurant known for using seasonal ingredients in creative combinations.

Take a walk up Lisburn Road to SHU, a Belfast institution that won multiple awards for its food. There is also a basement cocktail bar where you can sample a few of the barman’s finest creations before, and after, you eat.
