Here are some details of places to eat in Belfast and places to go. My favourite restaurant at the minute is the Bo tree Thai restaurant. It’s bring your own and cheap. Food is amazing.
It’s closed on Sunday though.
A great Indian restaurant which is a cheap place to eat, is:
Kathmandu Indian.
If you like Chinese the 3levels is lovely
If you fancy something a bit special and not cheap Shu and Graze are great
Places to go.
Ulster museum in Belfast. Closes at 5pm
Fibber McGees bar is great for some craic and has traditional music. The Perch roof top bar is great as is the Bullit.
Also Deans Love fish. Also closed on Sunday. but you may get these another day. I think the Bo Tree is also closed on Monday. they have another Restaurant which is great for a sunny day, called Deanes of Queens.
The open bus hop on hop off tours are also worth a try.
Hope that helps make your stay amazing.
