Lottie’s classic evening offering

Rather than being confined to one genre of food or dish, Lottie takes inspiration from a variety of cuisines, creating a wide array of dishes to meet anyone’s tastes. On the main menu you can find a selection of pasta dishes and meats from the grill as well as charcuterie boards and cold plates. This varied menu at Lottie is sure to impress, with a unique take on classic dishes unlike anything else offered in the city.

Although focusing on quality cuts of meat – Ibérico pork and ribeye being favourites on the menu – Lottie does offer a comprehensive vegetarian menu, with some of the dishes also suitable for vegans. Vegetarians can delight in Lottie’s Cauli Cheese Croquettes, Red Pepper Gnocchi or the Mushroom Linguine.

Stand out lunches

Lottie has become one of the must visit restaurants in Belfast, and it’s easy to see why when reading through its evening menu. However, if you want to check out this new spot but can’t make it to dinner, you can also stop by for a unique lunchtime offering. Although serving up some of its main menu classics during the lunchtime rush, Lottie has also crafted a separate deli menu just for its daytime guests.

With a twist on regular lunchtime favourites, visitors can stop by for pastrami or smoked salmon bagels, a variety of focaccia topped with burrata or truffle as well as seasonal soup.

However, true to form, Lottie also offers unique lunch specialties such as an egg and sausage cassoulet or poached rhubarb with coconut yoghurt and granola, which are sure to shake up any typical midday bite to eat.

For those nearby, Lottie’s lunch offering starts at 10am, making its fresh pasties and in-house sausage rolls a very tempting late breakfast option also.

Quality food at an affordable price

What’s almost as tempting as this East Belfast brasserie’s food and wine offering is its two specials running every week.

First is the affordable hump day offering, which would help anyone get past that midweek rut. For just £65 per person, you and your plus one can dine on two exquisite courses with a bottle of wine to share. Although this offer is operating off a reduced menu, all the beloved classics are still included, meaning you don’t have to miss out on enjoying a stand out meal without breaking your budget.

If a midweek treat doesn’t pull you in, Lottie’s Sunday offering definitely will. Unlike any other Sunday lunch experience, at Lottie you can expect impeccably prepared cuts of meat alongside perfectly paired wine.

As well as the main menu, on Sundays guests have the addition of rib of beef accompanied by all the traditional trimmings or lamb shepherd’s pie served with roast garlic and greens.

Although there are a number of delicious roasts on offer around the city, Lottie stays true to style, delivering simplicity but with robust flavours that are sure to satisfy those sunday cravings.

The stylish industrial setting

When first opening, Lottie had a lot to live up to with its predecessor Yugo East known for its unique and edgy style. However, it’s clear this chic wine bar and eatery has not only delivered, but gone above and beyond to forge its own individual style, which keeps guests coming back for more.

Lottie has forged its own style, stripping back its interior to a much simpler and refined look. Whilst visiting for lunch, dinner or a quick snack, you can relax in Lottie’s now signature bare yet classy industrial interior, which is perfectly complemented by walls adorned with hundreds of potted plants and greenery.

Praised not only for its food and wine pairings but also its atmosphere and customer service, Lottie is the ultimate culinary experience. Although located out of the city centre, this east Belfast brassiere is a must visit and well worth taking that short journey to Ballyhackamore for.
