Restaurant review: Gary Bell at The Portaferry Hotel
Posted: 27 January '12 by Niall
As soon as Bill Wolsey bought The Portaferry Hotel he placed chef Gary Bell in the kitchen, which tells you all you need to know about how important food is to the lough-side hotel. We made the short trip down the Ards Peninsula to try his Tasting Menu.

Posted: 18 January '12 by Kelly
Il Pirata is the newest restaurant to open it’s doors in East Belfast and the latest of Sam Spain’s ventures. Dishing up tasty rustic Italian treats, we thought it’d be the perfect antidote to the excesses of Christmas Day – but did we find a little treasure?

Posted: 10 January '12 by Niall
We love pizza! It’s fair to say that Belfast hasn’t been blessed with too many decent pizzerias, though.

Boojum have it all wrapped up!
Posted: 24 February '11 by Niall
If you’re not familar with Belfast’s Botanic Avenue, the name Boojum might mean nothing to you. Ask a student, however, and I can guarantee that they’ll know it, and not just because it’s right beside Queens University – the Mexican Burrito Bar is loved as much for it’s large portions and great prices as for..
