Gnostic Bar and Kitchen opens in Belfast

New arrival

Set on the stunning new development of Belfast City Quays, overlooking the River Lagan, is one of the must-watch new arrivals on Belfast’s dining scene for 2022. Defining itself as a “public house offering both lunch and dinner”, Gnostic is the perfect addition to Belfast’s already thriving food and restaurant scene. Serving a variety of small tasting plates, main courses, and platters, this exciting new restaurant is sure to have something for everyone.

Christmas opening

Open from 12pm to 11pm, Monday to Saturday, this is the perfect place to meet with friends, enjoy a tasty meal, and sample a few delicious cocktails to get the conversation flowing. With a concept built up over two years, undergoing various name changes, Gnostic was finally able to open in the city just in time for Christmas 2021.

Concept restaurant

Trendy and modern, with nods towards Belfast’s rich history and heritage, Gnostic is a concept restaurant like none other in the city. With dark wood panelled interiors, low lighting, and industrial style features, this restaurant offers a moody and intimate atmosphere, making it the perfect setting to enjoy a delicious meal or sip on a few drinks.

All day brunch

For those looking to start the morning on a high, brunch is served all day, from 12pm to 9pm. Choose from delicious sweet treats, such as toasted banana bread served with tahini and honeycomb, peanut butter and jam, overnight oats, and brioche French toast with lemon curd, raspberries and granola. If savoury is more your style, dishes such as the potato and feta rosti with creamed sweetcorn, smoked salmon, a poached egg, and chimichurri will be right up your street.

Sharing boards and small plates are also available from 12pm to 9pm. These menus feature innovative dishes like a Mexican-inspired taco sharing platter, grilled octopus, mac and beer cheese, and much more.

Seven dishes

Perfect for special occasions, the main menu is short and simple, and is served between 5pm and 9pm. There are just seven dishes to choose from, but each one is diverse, original, and bursting with flavour, so you’re sure to find something to enjoy.

A range of cocktails and desserts are also available. We bet a quick browse of their Facebook page, where they share mouthwatering photos of their latest cocktail creations, will be enough to convince you to make a reservation at Gnostic ASAP.
