Description

From the terrific buzz in the air to each element of the carefully constructed tasting menu, dining at this understated restaurant is such a pleasant experience. The starting point for the cooking is always the ingredients, with only the very best selected – and in some cases grown – by the kitchen team. This top-notch produce is elevated by the refined, expertly balanced accompaniments – an approach which is clear in dishes like superb Orkney scallop paired with a curry oil that is beautifully judged in both aroma and flavour.

Review summary

OX in Belfast offers modern British cuisine with generally high praise for food quality, particularly in its tasting menus, though some find portions small or flavors underwhelming. Service is consistently attentive and responsive, with staff adeptly handling issues like broken glass or noise complaints. The atmosphere is spacious with high ceilings, creating a pleasant dining environment, although occasional noise from neighboring tables can be disruptive. Value perceptions vary; while many appreciate the experience, others feel the pricing is high relative to portion sizes. Some guests noted that meal pacing can feel rushed, contributing to a sense of urgency despite the overall positive reception.

Best for

Ideal for diners seeking refined modern British cuisine who accept smaller portions; communicate dietary needs in advance and allow ample time for the meal.
