Sorry, the places listed below don't have online bookings available, but we hope you still find this list useful for your night out!

The Morning Star

The Morning Star is an award-winning pub that's been around since 1810, carrying on its McAlister family legacy through five generations. It's a homely haunt with very cosy furnishings and upstairs, you'll find a 120-seat restaurant whipping up local delights. It has a sustainable approach to cooking - a farm-to-fork-ethos - and uses only the best beef from top sales in Ulster. Sundays see an epic sharing roast hit the menu, made up of dry-aged Irish Shorthorn prime fillet steak wrapped in prosciutto and served in a steak butter, as well as a parsnip and sage Wellington or herb roasted chicken.

Stix And Stones

Stix And Stones is a top steak and seafood eatery in the city. It works with local farmers to source some of the best meat, and when it comes to steak, you get to customise how long it's hung in its very own 'dry ager' all to enhance the flavour. The restaurant also happens to cook up a storm when it comes to droolworthy Sunday roasts: think two courses for £24 or three for £28 and look forward to devouring the likes of Strangford mussels to begin, followed by roast beef, sea bass fillet, or pan-roasted sweet potatoes.
