Belfast is quickly becoming a culinary hot spot thanks to a new array of restaurants that offer trendy settings and haute cuisine. That, combined with traditional British taverns and Irish pubs, makes it a fun place to dine no matter what your taste buds are in the mood for. Here are some places to check out during your cruise to Belfast.
Crown Liquor Saloon
This restaurant has the reputation of being the most beautiful pub in Northern Ireland.
St. George’s Market (on May Street)
Head here for a laidback culinary journey through Northern Ireland’s largest indoor market. If you cruise to Belfast on a Saturday, you’ll find a farmer’s market there as well. St. George’s Market is located on May Street near Belfast Central Station.
Now here are the things you need to eat at the above restaurants (or wherever you find it on the menu!):
The Comber Potato
You’ll learn that not all potatoes are made the same after trying the Comber potato, a spud grown in the soil of Strangford Lough in County Down. It stands out from other potatoes due to its nutty flavor. Also making this potato interesting is the fact it has a Protected Geographical Indication, which is handed out to regional food to protect its reputation.
Abernethy Butter
Enhance your meal with some Abernethy butter made from local cream and churned by hand.
Bushmills Whiskey: If you’re a whisky lover, you’ve likely heard of Bushmills Whiskey. This popular distillery is actually located near Belfast right on the Antrim coast. You can tour the distillery and do a tasting.
Yellowman Candy: If you’re looking for something sweet after lunch or for a midday snack, head to Yellow Man Candy, which serves up pulled candy made in the Northern Irish tradition.
