Restaurant review: Il Pirata restaurant
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?

Restaurant review: Little Wing pizzeria, Lisburn Road
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. Little Wing, Bill Wolsey’s chain of eateries, are trying to change all that – they’ve even sent their head chef to Italy to research the perfect pizza! We visited the Lisburn Road restaurant to see if it was worth all of that effort.

Restaurant review: The Bar + Grill at James Street South
Posted: 08 December '11 by Niall
Bar + Grill at James Street South is Niall McKenna’s latest venture and the newest addition to Belfast’s restaurant scene. The atmosphere is less formal than it’s sister restaurant, the award-winning James Street South – and it has a healthy emphasis on char-grilled steak!

The MTV Awards aren’t the only hot topic in Belfast at the minute. With the pop-up restaurant craze gathering pace, we thought we’d jump on the bandwagon and booked a table at Home on Callender Street. They say that there’s nothing like Home cooking – but are they right?

Fast food at its best – Wagamama
Posted: 26 January '11 by Kelly
January is a horrendous month. Cold, dark, and blustery.. And it didn’t help matters that on this particular Thursday night I only finished work at 8pm! Needless to say that the thought of cooking when I finally made it home really didn’t fill me with glee. I was in the mood for something hot, spicy..

That’s it – Belfast has officially made it! We now have our own Wagamama restaurant! The Japanese noodle bar, famous for their “Positive Eating” approach to food, opens in Belfast on Monday 15 November in Victoria Square. It’s fair to say that we love Wagamama – we visited regularly when Kelly was at uni in..

The Yellow Door, Lisburn
Posted: 09 November '10 by Niall
Price and quality.. It’s a tricky balancing act. It’s also a pet peeve of mine – more than a few of the restaurants in Belfast get it wrong on both counts. There’s nothing worse than leaving a restaurant underwhelmed by the food and overcharged in the bill. With this in mind Kelly and I decided..
