Formerly The Albany on Belfast’s Lisburn Road, The Bowery is a modern neighbourhood bar with a touch of style. Great food, live music and a super selection of drinks are all on offer. Like all Taste of Ulster members, the team are committed to using the best of the local larder. Suppliers include Lisdergan Meats, North Down (Eglantine Farm) for vegetables, Elmore for seafood, Draynes Farm for dairy and Roisin’s Bakery.

If you are wondering what type of dishes to expect, here are some examples. Think gastro pub snacks like charred sourdough with crispy roast chicken skin butter. Starters could be Roast Beef Croquettes with French Onion Aioli, Burnt Shallots, Greens or Prawns with Garlic, chilli, butter, parsley, charred sourdough and burnt lemon. Maybe you will choose a Plant Burger with Grilled Halloumi, Tomato Relish, Gem, Crispy Onions and home-cut chips, a grilled Fillet Steak with Potato Gratin and Mushrooms a la Grecque, or Duck with Apple, Potato Gratin, Hazelnut, Kale, Daikon and Jus for Mains and dessert could be a Chocolate Vegan Mousse with Raspberry Sorbet and Coconut or Pecan Pie, Vanilla Ice Cream and Maple Syrup.

The menus change daily but you get the idea. Why not try Sunday’s very popular Sharing Roast Boards from 1pm for a lazy lunch. Make sure to book online to avoid disappointment. Restaurant Opening Hours 5pm-9.30pm Monday-Saturday, Sunday 1pm- 9.30pm
