The Grand Café is located in the heart of Belfast City on the ground floor of the 5-star Grand Central Hotel, right beside the City Hall. The airy space has a vibrant, contemporary feel with an easy-going elegance perfect for coffee and chats.

Start your day off in the best way possible with a breakfast menu with serious panache. The best local ingredients are used as with all Hastings Hotels. Think Whites Oats, Waggle Dance Honey, Kearney Blue cheese and Erin Grove preserves.

We completely recommend brunch, lunch or dinner there. Don’t Scrambled Free Range Clements Eggs with Ewings’ Smoked Salmon on Sourdough, Crispy Thornhill Duck Salad and Lisdergan Beef Burgers all sound delicious?

The newest addition to the hotel is The Cavern private dining space. Tucked discreetly behind a sliding artwork on the hotel’s first floor, The Cavern is an immersive space led by Executive Head Chef Damian Tumilty. With just 12 seats and an intentionally atmospheric design, the £150,000 development is tailored for unforgettable celebrations, discreet business dinners, and elevated private gatherings.

“It promises to deliver a heightened sense of occasion – whether hosting an exclusive celebration, a business dinner, or an intimate private gathering – ensuring a truly memorable experience for guests.”

At the heart of The Cavern is the food. Guests work directly with Chef Tumilty and his team to build a personalised seven-course tasting menu, drawing on some of the finest ingredients available across Ireland – from Kingsbury Wagyu beef to Carlingford oysters and Ballycastle lobster. The pastry kitchen, too, will showcase rare and intricate creations that rarely make it to local menus.

Open 7am-10pm each day. Kids Menu, Disabled Access, Licensed. Gluten-free on request, Vegan, Baby Changing
