Decided to try the afternoon tea at the Titanic Hotel to celebrate my wife’s birthday. From the moment we arrived Matthew who looked after us so well on the afternoon explained our menu and the various parts of same. He checked if any of us had any problems with any of the sandwich contents and when 2 of us explained we didn’t like salmon arranged for substitutes instead. We picked our initial tea choices and the sandwiches arrived along with chef’ surprise which was a soup which was really nice. The selection of sandwiches provided was very good. Next up were the scones which seemed just out of the oven and a lovely selection of pastries. We also took the opportunity to try a different tea selection as well. The whole afternoon was perfect due to the high quality of the food itself, excellent presentation and Matthew’ s expertise and I would highly recommend trying this for that special occasion .

Fantastic service, good quality food and lovely presentation. As the afternoon tea included a glass of prosecco we felt it was good value for money. Food included a small cup of soup, sandwiches, scones, cakes and patisserie. All food provided was tasty. We had an issue with the scones which were rock hard and they were replaced in an instant. Would not hesitate to recommend, all the staff we dealt with were charming and efficient.

Steak

Belfast

About the restaurant

The clue is in the name....and for the juiciest, most flavorsome steaks around, no matter how you take it, it's hard to beat a Josper-cooked steak! The secret is our Josper grill, a very particular style of Spanish charcoal oven, which is regarded by chefs worldwide as the finest method of cooking super tender steaks, while locking in all those wonderful flavors. So whether it's Sirloin or Rib Eye you prefer, the unique smoky, barbecue-style taste of our locally sourced, prime aged steaks is, we believe, out of this world! If, however, steaks are not your thing, then fear not, as we also offer a wide-ranging & amp; varied menu and quick & easy Light Lunch menu.

Food was stunning, staff were super friendly. We mentioned that our booking was for a birthday and they brought out a dessert and sang “Happy Birthday” and gifted us a small voucher for £10 off our next visit. Would definitely recommend to anyone coming to Belfast and will definitely book again.
