Why not do something different for dinner with our guide to the most delicious dishes, cracking coffees, and tasty takeaways.
DINE IN
Ragin’ Ramen, 24-26 Church Lane, Belfast, Monday 12pm-9pm, closed Tuesday/Wednesday, Thursday 12pm-9.30pm, Friday/Saturday 12pm-10pm, Sunday 1pm-9.30pm
If you like food that is jam packed with flavour, then Ragin’ Ramen is the place for you. This Japanese-style noodle bar will play off all five of your senses from the smell when you walk in, until you try one of their many delicious dishes. I would highly recommend their Totoro taco and ramen – a braised beef brisket wrapped in a corn taco with American cheese, mozzarella, pineapple, and yuzu salsa accompanied by Birria broth and chilli oil.

Home, 22 Wellington Place, Belfast Monday-Saturday 12pm-3.30pm, 5pm-9.45pm, Sunday 1pm-8.30pm
Although many places do not live up to their hype and inflated reputation, Home is not one of them. Earning itself a Michelin Bib Gourmand for serving good food at a good price. Given the time of year, you also have the opportunity to try their Christmas menu offering everything from turkey and ham to pan roasted salmon or a fillet of seabass.

Sleepy Hollow, 15 Kiln Road, Newtownabbey, Tuesday-Saturday 12pm-9.30pm, Sunday 12pm-7pm
It’s wet and cold outside and sometimes the only thing that can make you feel better is a good roast dinner. Which is why you should get yourself to Sleepy Hollow. Just a 10-minute drive from Belfast, tucked away in the quiet Co Antrim countryside, this restaurant, much like their food, is warm, inviting and homely. Order two courses for £26.50 or three for £30.

Belfast Woodfired Pizza Company, 699 Lisburn Rd, Belfast Tuesday/Wednesday 5pm-9pm, Thursday 5pm-10pm, Friday 4pm-10:30pm, Saturday 3pm-10:30pm, Sunday 3pm-9pm.
Providing artisan pizza using fresh locally sourced ingredients on their famous light and crispy base, Belfast Wood Fired Pizza Company is one to try if you are looking for something different.
Available at their Lisburn Road store and Robert Stewart’s Spirit Grocer in Drumbeg, it is too good to miss.

CAFÉ/BAKERY
Bakari, 25 Donegall Street, Belfast, Tuesday-Saturday 8am-4pm
With a vast selection of homemade bakes, Bakari has quickly become many people's go-to for their mid-morning snack. Although their bread, particularly their sourdough is excellent, it is their pastries you will be dreaming about, especially their vanilla slice and morning bun.

Dilly and Dollys, 24 Ann St, Belfast Monday-Wednesday 8am-6pm, Thursday/Friday 8am-9pm, Saturday 8am-6pm and Sunday 11am-6pm.
I once walked from Botanic Avenue to Finaghy to try this café... it did not disappoint! However, since 2021 Dilly and Dollys have had a pretty pink site on Ann Street, so you no longer have to venture terribly far to try some of their iconic drinks and snacks.
@thathalalgal.gla The most aesthetically pleaseing cafe in Belfast #belfast #belfasttiktok #belfastcity #northernireland #stpatricksday #cutecafe #cutedatespots #cutedateideas #cafebelfast #instagramableplaces #fyp #fypシ #uk #foodtiktok #belfastuk ♬ I Think I Like When It Rains - WILLIS
Muffin Break, Castle Court shopping centre, Belfast Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Friday/Saturday 8am-6pm, Thursday 8am-10pm and Sunday 12pm-5.30pm
