Irish restaurant in Belfast
1 Oxford St - BT1
“Some of the fine-dining restaurants in London could learn from this Belfast corker, with its laid-back vibe; delightful front of house and an à la carte menu which offers flavour explosions and delightful twists on the journey”. It sits in a modern unit near the river and is run by chef Stephen Toman and his business partner Alain Kerloc’h.

Irish restaurant in Belfast
36-40 Howard St - BT1
In the city centre, next to Deanes Meat Locker, this May 2024 newcomer from pioneering Belfast chef Michael Deane – who has had various restaurants on this site since 1997 – occupies the space of his former flagship Deanes Eipic and Love Fish, which he shuttered in late 2023 citing the rising cost of living, as customers opted for lower-priced options for eating out. Long regarded as one of the best restaurants in Northern Ireland, it was regularly rated highly in the annual Harden’s guides. The latest venture, he says, combines the best from the former Brasserie, Deli and Love Fish at the same address.
3. Noble
Irish restaurant in Holywood
27a Church Rd - BT18
“Quirky, original neighbourhood bistro serving some of Northern Ireland’s best local produce”, from chef Pearson Morris and FoH supremo Saul McConnell. There’s a “small intimate restaurant upstairs with a relatively new wine bar downstairs serving an interesting selection of wine”. Top Tip – “get there and back from Belfast on the bus for ‘Johnny the Jig’ (aka 502)”.
