The must visit restaurants of Belfast

Established back in 2014, Eipic was only 18 months old when it was awarded a Michelin star. The restaurant boasts multiple, decadent menus, which vary depending on the season. In the past, this famed restaurant has also been known to offer ‘surprise’ menus, which have featured truffle, bacon, parmesan, salmon, caviar and more. For those who don’t eat meat, Eipic also offers many vegetarian options. On previous vegetarian ‘surprise’ menus, there have been tasty choices such as linseed, truffle, polenta, cauliflower, and black garlic.

Located just outside Belfast in the town of Holywood, Noble is the perfect place for a quiet, decadent dinner. The rustic interiors of the restaurant create a warm, home-like atmosphere, which is contrasted by its adventurous and surprising menu. First off, you can choose from Noble’s range of tasty starters, which include parmesan arancini, hot smoked salmon, and Bangor bay crab. Then, you can move onto the main course, where you will have a choice of dishes like hake, lamb rump, spiced cauliflower, and suckling pig. Notably, Noble is dedicated to supporting its community by incorporating local produce in its cuisine. The food at Noble is delicious, daring and locally made.

Located on Botanic Avenue, Molly’s Yard is one of the best restaurants in Belfast and it is extremely affordable. On the starter menu, you can choose from classic dishes like bread, tapenade and oils, or branch out with Molly’s original seafood chowder. Next, you can choose from the mouthwatering main menu. This includes Molly’s burger on pesto toast, field mushroom stuffed with Wicklow blue cheese, and confit duck leg. If you like classic desserts, you’ll enjoy Molly’s chocolate brownie with wild berry coulis and vanilla ice cream. Or, for those who prefer something more savoury, there is a trio of Irish cheeses with spiced apple chutney and crackers. Alternatively, if you are in the mood for something more adventurous, try the Uachtar Na Mara, elderberry and champagne soup, and lavender shortbread.
