Belfast’s biggest celebration of food and flavour has arrived and is set to be even more mouthwatering than ever before.
Belfast Restaurant Week returns 4th – 12th October, giving diners the chance to explore Belfast’s hospitality scene through limited edition menus, collaborative pop-ups, discounts and unique dining experiences that highlight both Belfast’s local talent and the incredible Northern Irish produce.
The week gets underway with a Taste of Belfast Chef and Producer Showcase at St George’s Market on 4th October. Visitors are invited to join industry experts, Ciaran McLarnon from The Hundredth Monkey Bakery and The Focacceria, Stephen Ferris from Margot and Dean Coppard from Keenan’s Seafood, as they create flavour-packed dishes using the best local produce.
Curated by Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) Belfast One, Cathedral Quarter BID and Linen Quarter BID, this week-long celebration is once again placing Belfast’s food scene firmly on the map, with the 2025 theme “Taste of Belfast” celebrating exciting new collaboration between the city’s leading chefs and local artisan producers.
Martina Connolly, Belfast Restaurant Week Spokesperson & CEO of Belfast One BID commented, “Belfast Restaurant Week showcases our restaurants and hospitality venues which are at the heart of our city. This year’s event shows the importance of the relationship between our chefs and local suppliers and displays the quality which grows on our doorsteps.
“This week goes far beyond good food, it is about hospitality, local producers, talented chefs, supporting local jobs and celebrating just how much this city has to offer. Our restaurants, bars and venues look forward to welcoming those from near and far to enjoy exciting food and drink and showcase this wonderful sector here in Belfast.”
