You must visit belfast City Centre, stop at the City Hall for views. Grab a pint in the Duke of York before you explore the cobbled streets of the cathedral Quarter. There is lots of great restaurants and bars in the city.
We love jumon for great vegan food
Buba for middle Eastern tapas
2taps for Spanish tapas
Yugo for Asian fusion food
For fine dining any of the deanes chain is great, ox and muddlers club are the best but you will need to book.
Pubs there are endless amounts. Head to the cathedral Quarter and bar hop. There are a couple of hidden pubs we love- the Spaniard for a dark and stormy, Gordon Street for live music and Revolution to Cuba which is jaynes favourite to dance the night away for fun lively throw backs (watch out for the hen parties)
