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. Located on the Ormeau Road in Belfast, the restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. We would usually go for breakfast but have also..

Nando’s, 24 Ormeau Avenue, Belfast

Posted: 04 March '10 by Niall

After walking past the shiny and new Nando’s on Ormeau Avenue almost everyday since it opened I was looking forward to venturing in to what the menu was like. With Kelly incapacitated at the minute, the task fell to fellow Chilli-and-Chocolatier Eamann and myself. The restaurant is a good size, and the decor helps this..

Cafe Vaudeville is a class act!

Posted: 08 January '10 by Niall

Cafe Vaudeville, Arthur Street, Belfast

On Christmas Eve, having braved the seething crowds and selflessly bought presents for other people, Kelly and I thought we’d spoil ourselves and go for lunch in Cafe Vaudeville. If you haven’t been to Cafe Vaudeville before you should definitely make the effort to go, if only to walk around the bar – the decor..

Posted: 02 November '09 by Niall

After doing some serious food shopping in St. George’s Market on Saturday, Kelly and I dropped in to “Made in Belfast” for a bite to eat. We’d both heard (largely) good reviews about the restaurant – or “resto-lounge” as they dub themselves – and thought it was high-time that we tried it for ourselves. Stepping..

Currying favour at the Bengal Brasserie

Posted: 19 October '09 by Kelly

On Saturday night Niall and I headed out to the Bengal Brasserie on the Ormeau Road for a long-awaited curry. We’ve been going to the Bengal Brasserie for ages – from when it was a shabby-but-much-loved place down near the Ormeau bridge, to the latest incarnation as a contemporary, plush new eaterie at the Newtownbreda..

L’Etoile – Non, je ne regrette rien

Posted: 09 October '09 by Niall

After a VERY long day at work, Kelly and I needed a bit of a pick-me-up, and dining out was the order of the day. But where to go, where to go.. We’ve both read reviews of “L’Etoile” on Belfast’s Ormeau Road which were unanimous in their praise, but had been put off by the..

Bo Tree Restaurant

Posted: 30 July '09 by Niall

In the middle of a long week at work, with our spirits dampened by the daily down-pour, Kelly and I went to the Bo Tree Restaurant on Belfast University Road. We’ve been several times before but this was the first time that we’ve gone with notebook in hand and with our “reviewers” hats on! I’ll..
