Given the Northern Irish capital is a world-famous port city, we shouldn’t be too flabbergasted to learn that Belfast’s seafood is as outstanding as it is. Across the city, innovative chefs are harnessing the bounty of fresh local ingredients and producing some really knock-out food. Belfast is the plaice (get it?) for any fish lover, and there are plenty of trendy, Michelin-guide worthy spots to get your hands on some properly elevated seafood. But this city isn’t stuffy, and some of its finest eateries are good old-fashioned pubs and chippies who have fine-tuned their own personal classics. So, where are the absolute best places to eat? Follow our lead.
