Belfast Restaurant Week is Back! T
he hugely successful Belfast Restaurant Week made a muchwelcome return to the city last month. Supported by Belfast One, Destination CQ and Linen Quarter, the week-long festival for food lovers saw some of the city centre’s biggest and best-loved restaurants participate with record numbers of top chefs and restaurants taking part. To celebrate, a host of food fans and well-known media were invited to a preview event at 2Taps Wine Bar. Food critic and writer Joris Mine joined Claire McCollum, Pamela Ballantine, Cathy Martin and Jeff Meredith to tuck into a menu of Spanish tapas, seafood paella, scallops, churros and cheesecakes – Ole!
