The Muddler's Club
Taking its name from a historic secret society, The Muddler's Club is hidden behind a shroud of mystery. Enter the dimly lit restaurant where dark colours and wooden accents pave the way for beautifully plated dishes and an impressive whiskey list.
Taste your way through one of the best Belfast Michelin restaurants.
Deanes EIPIC
When it comes to Michelin-starred restaurants in Northern Ireland, Deanes EIPIC is a must. Diners come from far and wide to sample plates from the Michael Deane's flagship; think BBQ quail, oysters with lovage and an epic 10-course tasting menu.
Award-winning eats? This one's as good as it looks.
OX
Also on our list of Michelin-rated restaurants is OX; the Oxford Street hideaway led by chef Stephen Toman. Feast on scallops and steak before finishing off with a fabulous range of Irish drinks as you discover why this much-loved restaurant has been awarded a coveted star.
With a Michelin star to its name, OX is one slick spot.
Deanes at Queens
Serving modern British food in the heart of Belfast city centre, Deanes at Queens is the sister site to EIPIC. Expect quality food without the hefty price tag or stuffy surroundings. On the menu? Get a load of Glenarm salmon and braised beef in red wine washed down with a huge selection of wine.
This University Quarter restaurant is boasting great food and a terrace for outdoor dining.
Home
Holding a Michelin Bib Gourmand, Home is a great choice if you're looking for places to eat on a special occasion. Whether it's birthdays, date nights or celebratory meals, do it in style with crispy duck confit fritters, pumpkin ravioli and sticky toffee pudding in an industrial setting.
