Christmas Party Venues in Belfast

If you’re looking for a Christmas dinner in Belfast with a bit of a twist, Italian restaurant Fratelli is the place to head. Yes, they serve the ubiquitous turkey, but it’s wrapped in parma ham and served with Tuscan sausages, yes they serve prawns but rather than tired cocktail, it’s tiger prawns, with shrimp, n’duja sausage, and garlic cream. There’s even twists on Italian classics, with carbonara pizza catching our eye. Tables under 15 can book online, meaning you probably don’t even need to pick up the phone.
