The Great Room Restaurant is undoubtedly one of Northern Ireland’s most extraordinary restaurants. Thanks to the remarkable original Victorian interior with its glass cupola, Ireland’s largest chandelier an array of plasterwork detailing, the space is second to none. Needless to say our chefs search tirelessly to bring the finest seasonal ingredients together in eloquent dishes in thoughtfully prepared menus, just one of the reasons The Great Room Restaurant was awarded 2 AA Rosettes.

The food was beautiful and everything was cooked to perfection. The restaurant was lovely and relaxing and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We will be back to try more of the menu but I will find it hard not to choose the carpaccio Wagu or Venison again! My only complaint was I needed a bucketful more of the artichoke purée!

Slightly disappointing experience for afternoon tea at the Titanic today. The sandwiches were very underwhelming for a festive afternoon tea. One small ham sandwich and egg sandwich- maybe a turkey, ham and cranberry and stuffing sandwich for Christmas would have been nice. The soup was delicious- could have had a double portion. The scones were lovely too. The service was good by Matthew and unlimited teas/coffee was welcome. I just think overall more savoury items and fancier sandwiches are required in this afternoon tea and would have made it even better.

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.

Lovely relaxing afternoon very friendly staff who efficiently served our afternoon tea - just one thought- we had cocktails rather than champagne and it would have been preferable to have those served before our tea and coffee.
