I booked a late reservation here at the Muddler's Club. I came solo and got dropped off by a taxi…read more I got a little lost while trying to find the restaurant. It's pretty hidden in the alley and not going to lie...coming to a new city, let alone a new country by myself was a bit intimidating, but I found it just in time for my reservation. I absolutely loved my first Michelin Star restaurant experience. I was born in Belfast, and have never been back since I was born, so I enjoyed every opportunity to tell a server. The staff was so friendly and described every dish. I ordered the Seasonal Tasting MenuEach dish was excellent. My favorite was probably the duck and the savory mousse pastries. Food in order of serving: 1. Sourdough Guinness bread with vanilla butter and olive oil 2. Olive sponge crab and apple, chicken and caramel with some type of mousse 3. Scallops, cucumber frothy brown butter 4. Bluefin tuna tartare with avocado and heirloom tomato 5. Halibut with crispy chicken skin 6. Duck 7. Sorbet and then....my phone died before I could write down the other yummy dishes I ate! The ambience was dark, romantic, and vibey. A little mysterious because of the hidden aspect, but overall I loved my whole experience here.

My weekday dinner at Muddler's Club seemed a bit directionless…read more The food is excellent, taste, flavor combinations and présentation. That is not the concern. The space itself has a very long and interesting history, just over 40 seats have been cramped into that space. A couple tables have small glass walls to separate them and squeeze in more diners. And it's pretty loud. So loud, I can barely hear the sommelier describe her wines. There may have been music playing... but who can hear? There seems to be an attempt to elevate the bartender over the sommelier, with the menu encouraging the guests to try specialty cocktails instead of selecting whole bottles of wine. And the bartender's constant ice shaker only adds to the noise. The service is very relaxed, with servers in t-shirts and jeans, sneakers, paper napkins. And the servers seemed a bit inattentive, watching the chefs through the pass, not paying attention to guests' needs. Oh, and the server even wrote "thank you" on the printed bill... How kind. Excellent Flair. Pure Chotchkie's. For the food, I'll return. 2025 04 16. M1. 235.

For any wine lovers out there, the sparkling red is an absolute must try. We also asked the waitress to bring us out a selection of cheeses as we weren't too sure what to get.

'An American in Belfast.'…read more Bert's Jazz Bar was a gem of a bar in Belfast. A thorough review of my Yelp would show a strong love of jazz and New Orleans, and somehow we stumbled on this gilded age bar in the heart of Belfast. Rich red velvet and a strong nod to New Orleans and the jazz age was backed up by a strong cocktail program with nods to New Orleans, NYC, London and Paris. Oh to find a Time Machine and try each class cocktail during the jazz age in each city. My favorite cocktail of all time is the New Orleans classic - Ramos Gin Fizz. Labeled on the menu as a 'one and only', this somewhat finicky and difficult cocktail came out nearly perfect and better than many I've sampled in NOLA. Would love to return for live music and food!

I was extremely honoured to be invited last evening, to the launch event for:…read more Tulsi Restaurant, 51 High Street, Holywood, BT18 9AB Tulsi is also known as Holy Basil and can be found all over the Sub Continent. It is cultivated for religious, medicinal and essential oil use especially in Auyurvedic medicine and is also used in traditional Hindu ceremonies. The Tulsi plant is not uncommon in many Hindu households- it is truly an elixir of life. The very name Tulsi personifies purity and authenticity and this was very evident in the whole experience, right from the decor, the welcome and hospitality to the intimacy of surrounds and of course the traditional and very authentic North Indian cuisine. There was also some fantastic live music by Noel. The four partners have certainly put a lot of love and effort into bringing Tulsi to our shores, having been in N Ireland for over ten years. Indeed Chef Ram is a seasoned campaigner and in race horse terms is a pure thoroughbred when it comes to professional and superb chef skills. He has had extensive training in major 5 Star Hotels in New Delhi and Hong Kong before coming to Belfast over ten years ago. His ethos is perfection in quality ingredients and cooking methods, always seeking out genuine, authentic menus. After a meet and greet drinks reception we were seated and served a sharing non veg platter consisting of: Samosa, mint chutney, malai chicken, chicken skewers with sweet chilli sauce, mixed vegetable pakora and lettuce-my mouth is watering as I write this!!!! This selection showed me that Chef had it spot on and that this was as good and genuine as the food I've eaten in India!! Roll on the mains.... For our main course it was buffet service and again we were spoilt for choice: Clockwise (viz picture) from the soft, fragrant garlic nan I had Thai vegetable curry, cucumber salad, butter chicken, ghosth bhuna, daal makhani, aloo gobhi all served on aromatic pilau rice. This was pure and wholesome with none of the excess oil, artificial colours and sugar which is evident in many restaurants near and far. We had a rich and delicious Gajar Ka halva, which is a carrot dessert and topped off the meal fittingly. In short the food was delicious, true and authentic.......so enough said pay them a visit and experience the real Indian Cuisine. I would argue that this is certainly in the top 5 proper Indian restaurants in Northern Ireland and has a huge thumbs up from me!!!

Bold Flavors & Lively Atmosphere at The Exchange - Derry, Ireland/UK…read more **If you love spicy food, you'll be thrilled. If not, ask your server for a gentler option... the kitchen doesn't hold back!!!** We had a fantastic dinner at The Exchange. The starters; Mediterranean olives, bruschetta, and garlic breads, were fresh and flavorful. For mains, the Exchange Burger and chilli fillet steak in pitta bread brought serious heat. Desserts were indulgent: the double chocolate brownie was rich and satisfying, and the sticky toffee pudding had a perfect melt-in-your-mouth finish. Heads-up: The place gets lively and a bit loud in the evenings, so if you're after a quiet meal, consider dining earlier. Otherwise, it's a vibrant spot with bold flavors and great service.

We dined in the Boathouse, Disney Springs, Orlando two weeks ago but this wonderful place beats it…read morehands down by a very long way in terms of the charming service, and, very importantly, the quality and flavour of the food on our plates. Only the climate and setting were better in dismal Disney. This place was buzzing on a Monday night - just as busy as the Boathouse was on a Saturday night - oh enough about bloody awful money - grabbing Disney. I had a fillet steak with tobacco onions, champ & pepper sauce (£15.75). I asked for the steak medium cooked but it was nearer to rare and that didn't bother me a jot. The flavour of the steak was wonderful. The champ could have been warmer, the tobacco onions were just perfection and the pepper sauce moreish. My wife opted for chicken fajitas (£12.75) - the portion was generous and she said the all important 'smokey' sauce was delicious. There were three flour tortillas together with mini pots of guacamole and sour cream. The mashed guacamole was slightly underripe, which we prefer, the only suggestion here is when using underripe avocado add a very generous amount of fresh lime juice. I had a good cappuccino (£2.5) and my wife a generous glass of Sauvignon blanc (£6.15). The home-made desserts really looked inviting, but I'm afraid whilst the spirit was more than willing the flesh simply couldn't cope. In short bloody good place.

The steak sandwich being a favourite of mine and their pepper sauce really is something to behold. They do a great sausage and mash too!

We sat at one of the tables right in the windowand a charming young man took our drinks orders, waiting patiently while number one son deliberated carefully between orange and blackcurrant cordial. Not an impatient sigh to be heard so definitely a good start. Around us was a complete mix of people, ladies having coffee (never understand people who go to a pub and have coffee but let's not judge), young guys having lots of pints and other families. We were lucky in getting our seats at the window and enjoyed the beautiful views of the sea and cliffs, just breathtaking. I was equally delighted by the fact thatthey serve mini bottles of Chardonnay as most bars seem to serve only that vinegary muck known as sauvignon. The kids were quite noisy but not out of control noisy and everyone seemed happy with that. Well, I was anyway. Only downside was that they had no crisps which for us are a must when you're not having a meal. A great spot for day drinks for a family ot group of friends.
