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 lovely. The ribeye steak was beautiful. Didn’t realise the steak didn’t come with onions and mushrooms. Just a tomato and side of mash or chips and peppered sauce. Maybe my own fault for not reading the menu correctly. Otherwise, a great experience. 9/10

About the restaurant
Novelli at City Quays is a stylish Mediterranean and French influenced brasserie. Open 7 days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Situated right along the River Lagan, with a stunning outdoor terrace, Novelli's is the perfect setting to sit back, relax and allow the world to pass you by.

Only a 15 minute walk from the SSE arena, with nearby car parking, its the perfect base to stop off at before your concert or event.

Bon appetite!

The service was fantastic and the quality of the food was excellent. The surprise dessert for my son’s birthday was an unexpected surprise. A little pricey but a very enjoyable night.
