Best French Bakery in Belfast

"The self-proclaimed best cafe in Europe, Town Square is on a mission to create a space for people of all walks of life to get together, share ideas, and create art. Head chef Robert Wisniewski is at the core of the restaurant. It’s the place to be for modern cosmopolitan spins on traditional Irish breakfast foods."

"One of the best places to eat in Belfast, Town Square is a top spot for all your brunch and dinner needs. The café and bar has got a fantastically varied menu for all times of day, including a breakfast avo on toast, some lunchtime tacos and evening cocktails."

"Town Square is a seriously cool café and bar on Botanic Avenue. Get your fill of first-class scran throughout the day, with banana pancakes, veggie katsu and incredible desserts - think DIY smores, chocolate fondue and affogato - all up for grabs."

"The Bullitt Hotel has its priorities in check when it comes to service versus price. As one of Belfast’s newer hotels, its remarkably simple philosophy has changed the hospitality market forever. In each of its 32 rooms, which come in Dinky, Comfy and Roomy, you will find a king-sized bed, clothes rail and rain shower, along with funky wooden decor and lighting – which won’t cost you an arm and a leg."

"The latest jewel in the crown of Belfast hospitality king Bill Wolsey, the man behind the five-star Merchant Hotel and a host of right-on pubs. He’s a Steve McQueen fan, hence the name, and Bullitt has nailed the McQueen vibe of laid-back, effortless cool."

"Not too far from The National is the newly opened Bullitt hotel. Just like the hotel, Bullitt’s beer garden couldn’t feel further removed from a typical hotel vibe. This excellent beer garden has become very popular with visitors and locals alike."

"Guilt Trip recently launched their ninth store across the UK, so you know these are going to be epic!. With a distinct New York vibe, their inventive recipes and trendy flavours continue to sell out each day. They've got four stores in NI (East Belfast, Lisburn Road, Holywood and Portstewart) including a Guilt Trip Truck on Apollo Road."

"One of Belfast’s most bohemian bars, Muriel’s Cafe Bar, is a recommended stop-off point for LGBTQ+ and straight visitors alike. Its decor is individual, and has included lingerie on a washing line, the drink and food class – there are good cocktails – and the ambiance is well, ambient. Its sister bar, the Spaniard, is equally boho, permanently full of people keen on good conversation (it’s quite an arty crowd), good wine, olives and food."

"Around the corner from Bootleggers is Muriel’s Cafe Bar, which also knows how to serve a stellar cocktail. Among their drinks menu is the Flaming Zombie, as much a show as a drinks order. Instead of string lights, Muriel’s has challenged its inner hipster and decorated the ceiling with underwear and lingerie along with red lighting, giving the bar a quirky atmosphere without feeling gimmicky."

"One of the most popular and well known microbreweries is the Hilden Brewery, located in Lisburn, which has been creating some of the finest quality craft beers since 1981. Not only do they boast a collection of 13 draught beers and nine bottled beers, the brewery at Hilden and its award-winning Tap Room Restaurant are well worth visiting. Take a tour to discover the magic of brewing and learn about this ancient craft from a master brewer as he explains the process which converts malt and hops into traditionally brewed beer."

"The Tap Room is a restaurant located within Ireland’s oldest independent brewery in Hilden, Lisburn, home of the Hilden Beer Festival which is hosted every August bank holiday weekend. Sister restaurant to Molly’s Yard in Botanic, the Tap Room offers a dedicated vegetarian/vegan menu featuring Irish classics and which changes with the season. The restaurant is located within cosy converted stone stables, with the option of eating al fresco in the better weather."

"The new Souls Restaurant at Belfast City Centre’s popular Dublin Road is designed to provide you with a unique dining experience."

"Mo's is a family-run dessert house - awarded five-star hygiene rating, members of NI Take Away association, and finalists in the 2021 Best Dessert Parlours Award. It offers mouth-watering treats, including freshly made cheesecakes, crepes, slushies, ice cream, nachos, Mullins ice cream, and a new variety of sweets and hot drinks. So, add a little sweetness to your day with some of these treats from Mo's."

"This route explores a beautiful Local Nature Reserve in the Lagan Valley with varied wildlife habitats. After a short distance you will find a path to the left leading to Lester’s dam and pond. Retrace your steps to the main path, and continue along for a good distance through wooded areas and past meadows until you come to a steep set of steps."

"Just across from the leaning Albert Clock stands the city's oldest church. Originally the site of two earlier churches, St. George's was opened in 1816 and is …"

"Slightly further afield, but well worth the extra distance, Belvoir Park Forest is exactly as the name suggests – a forest. It’s actually one of the only working forests in the world within a city boundary, and thus offers a bit of a unique experience. You’ll need to grab the 6d bus from the centre to get there (or walk for 90 minutes), but on arrival you’ll be treated to a stunning woodland with flowers and plenty of wildlife to see, including foxes, owls and kingfishers."

"Hickson’s Point is an intimate event space perfect for incentive programmes, product launches and a real taste of the shipyard. Offering event organisers an authentic 1900’s public house setting featuring carved-mahogany booths, stained and etched glass, authentic tiling, cosy snugs and bench style seating. Serve up the spirit of the shipyard with traditional music and tasty heritage food inspired by Belfast’s most traditional tipples and treats."

"Authentic 1900's public house setting, serving up the spirit of the shipyard with traditional music and delicious local food. (Open seasonally and dog-friendly). +44 (0) 28 9076 6386"

"Sometimes you just can't beat a cocktail, cosy seat and catch up, and this is just the place for it!. Finally reopening their doors for 2021, The Tipsy Bird is a quaint venue tucked away on Ann Street. They've been busy building a new bar called the Brewers Bar offering a selection of craft beers and covered outdoor seating."

"There are too many amazing pubs in Belfast, so we had to add a bonus bar!. If it is cocktails you are after this is the place to go. Located on Anne Street, this is a modern chic bar with a lot of character."

"If you want to go somewhere where the music is remixed to fuck and not in a good way, come to Lux!. Try and bust some moves to Beyonce when it is constantly interrupted by interjections of disconnected "wub" noises- the attendees of the club cling to the sides of the room to avoid the dance floor. The club itself is about the size of a house in the Holylands with much less charm."

"Does that mean it doesn’t have mouth wateringly good pizza pie that is now an establishment in Belfast restaurant terms?"
