Northern Ireland’s business leaders have joined forces to support the local restaurant industry and are urging other businesses to do the same during Belfast Restaurant Week, which starts on October 4.

The Institute of Directors, Belfast Chamber of Commerce, CBI Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce, Titanic Quarter Ltd., Pubs of Ulster and the NI Hotels Federation are all behind the major citywide event, which showcases the great range of dining-out options across Belfast.

Now in its third year, Belfast Restaurant Week showcases the city’s vibrant restaurants, gastro pubs and café culture and also shines the spotlight on the great quality of local produce available right on our doorstep. In addition to Restaurant Week menus and exclusive food events, there will also be food-inspired fringe events, including ‘Taste and Dine’ in the grounds of Belfast City Hall on October 4 and 5.

The Belfast City Council initiative, supported by Visit Belfast, will offer special menus across 65 of the city’s restaurants, cafes and gastro pubs in addition to over 45 themed food events.
