Behind its fine Georgian façade, this charmingly run neighbourhood restaurant isn't quite what you'd expect. It's a bright, modern place with energy emanating from its open kitchen. It is here that the team take quality Northern Irish produce and craft it into dishes that are big on flavour and wholly satisfying; game season is a highlight, with dishes like perfectly roasted partridge with a rich chicken butter. Indecisive diners beware, the menu is extensive and every dish sounds so delicious you'll be deliberating for hours.
