One of our premier tourist attractions must have first class places to eat, and Titanic Belfast certainly does. Everything is freshly made with the finest local ingredients.
The Galley Café does locally produced ‘Titanic tea’ and speciality coffees, perfect complements to a fresh scone or traybake.
Bistro 401 is where you can dine with nautically-inspired dishes and surrounds at any time of the day. How about a docker’s breakfast on the Morning Watch or the Duncher Boy’s melt at Forenoon? We like the Braised Beef Steerage Style.
Little nippers will be pleased with the chicken dippers and a Smarties cookie. Big kids will love the giant-sized Captain’s Custard Cream.
Try the Titanic Quarter beer. It’s a local microbrew.
Belfast Castle, long recognised as one of the Provinces’ iconic landmark destinations for both business and pleasure, serves the best of local produce freshly prepared, seven days a week.
Choose to dine in the elegant Cellar Restaurant or the more relaxed Tavern Bar. With an extensive menu customers can enjoy a range of dishes from Beer Battered Ardglass Scampi to Slow Roast Daube of Ulster Beef and Herb Crusted Canon of Mourne Lamb, all served by our enthusiastic and dedicated staff.
Lighter snacks are also available or why not sample one of our home-baked scones after a relaxing stroll in the splendid surroundings of Belfast Castle and Cavehill Country Park? For the ultimate weekend treat our famous Traditional Sunday Lunch priced at £26.00 for 4 Courses is a must!
[Our sister company, Big Occasions with 3 mobile kitchens also enables us to bring gourmet catering to your wedding, corporate or sporting event (info@bigoccasionscatering.co.uk) – you choose the location we make the Big Occasion.]
Housed in the charming Queens Quarter, this multi-award winning restaurant is consistently rated one of the best places to eat in the city. It’s been doing its thing since 1996, but the beautiful building has been in use since the 1860s. It still feels like a grand old house with its shelves of books and period features.
We love eating in places that hum with history, but we want great food and service, too. That’s here in spades. They go out of their way to make sure there’s a wide choice of meat, fish, and game on every menu, but expect to see your fish napped with a chardonnay emulsion and your carrots to be the cumin crispy variety.
We’d walk over hot coals for Head Chef Jim McCarthy’s new 5 course Carte Blanche menu. His mackerel escabeche is buenissimo. Head chef, has made his mark on the super value pre-theatre and express menus. All the bread, pasta and desserts are made on the premises. Veggies will be pleased too.
Private dining room available upstairs for up to 80 people.
Slap bang in the centre of the funkiest part of the city, 21 Social is a very sociable place indeed. There are three floors in this stylish building and the ground floor restaurant is where you can tuck into wholesome healthy food that’s good for the soul. It’s all fresh and organic where possible.
Typical offerings include lemon and black pepper squid, Dexter beef burgers and oven roast cod. With desserts such as Blackberry Carrageen moss pudding with poached apples and shortbread.
There are deals aplenty here like their Pre-theatre menu where two courses are £14 and 3 courses just £17. Who doesn’t love to Surf or Turf? You can have either two sirloin steaks with all the trimmings or two fish of the day with a bottle of wine for £40. Don’t forget lunch specials from £5.95. So much choice!
Head down for Sunday brunch or roast of the day accompanied by a live acoustic set!
Dine and imbibe!
This sleek, modern restaurant takes its name from the theatre term referring to the invisible wall separating actors from their audience and given its location right opposite the MAC arts venue in beautiful St Anne’s Square this is a pretty apt moniker!
The staff certainly put on a show when comes to the food and drink; the uber-talented Jonny Hamilton is at the helm in the kitchen and invites you to sample his modern-Irish style of cuisine with mouth watering dishes such as grilled goat’s cheese with a beetroot, fig and walnut salad and Slane Valley rack of lamb with spiced cous cous, roasted aubergine and a chilli and mint dressing. The pre-theatre dinner menu is great value at £15.95 for two courses or £17.95 for three! (Available Monday – Wednesday 5-9pm, Thursday – Saturday 5-7pm)
The warm and welcoming staff will quickly tune into your own pace whether leisurely or hurried – if you only have 45 minutes for lunch they’ll ensure you get your meal with time to enjoy it.
Sunday lunches are extremely popular, especially eaten al fresco if the weather’s on our side. Don’t forget children 11 and under eat free on a Sunday (*1 per adult).
The wine list designed by Direct Wine Shipments is extensive with something for every budget but we love watching the bar staff rustle up a pre-show summer cocktail – Cosmopolitian anyone? And with two cocktails for £10 it is hard to resist!
