The city's original Michelin-starred restuarant is owned and run by whippet-thin TV chef Paul Rankin. Its Asian-influenced menu is always innovative and rarely disappoints. The dark wood interior is lit in amber and the pale walls are etched with culinary prose. Although the haunt of Belfast's self-styled gastro luvvies, don't let its potential air of intimidation put you off... the award-winning food is surprisingly affordable.
