10 brilliant restaurants you won't want to miss in Belfast
"OX, opened by head chef Stephen Toman and Brittany-born maître d’ Alain Kerloc’h, secured a Michelin star three years after its opening. The interior is Gustavian in its simplicity and the food is understated, yet elegant. Dinner might start with scallops and beetroot and segue gracefully into a John Dory with broccoli and black olive, a succulent Chateaubriand and a chocolate, blackberry and malt ice-cream pudding, which tastes as good as it looks."

The best nightlife in Belfast
"Deservedly the most famous bar in Belfast, the saloon's listed ornate interior was created by Italian craftsmen in Belfast’s Victorian heyday and has featured in movies as disparate as Odd Man Out in 1947 and Divorcing Jack in 1998. There can be few greater pleasures in the city than settling into one of the ancient snugs, complete with bells to summon the staff and gunmetal match-striking plates, and tucking into Irish stew, colcannon or Strangford oysters, washed down by a creamy pint or two of Guinness. A welcome recent addition is a large and growing selection of real ales."

Here are the stereotypes of every club in Belfast and the people you’ll meet there
"Foundry presents itself as a place for the weirdos and social outcasts, and in a fair and just world it would be such. Unfortunately, everyone that goes here is on a quest to out-edge one another, vigorously side-stepping to whatever beat the DJs play while pretending they're not middle class. But don't let that put you off, there are some genuinely nice people here and the bouncers are sound."
