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..

Posted: 07 June '10 by Kelly

I had been in Dublin visiting Ciara for the weekend and hadn’t seen Niall for a few days so we decided to catch up over a meal and a few drinks. You might remember that we had been to The Barking Dog before and thought that the food was delicious, so decided to go back…

The writing is on the wall.. We love Graffitti!

Posted: 12 April '10 by Kelly

It’s quite difficult to find a place to go for a relaxing late breakfast on a Sunday where the food isn’t dripping in grease, so we were delighted when we discovered Graffitti.
