RESTAURANTS
UP TO €30
Indie Spice
(159 Stranmillis Road, tel: 028 9066 8100)
Situated in leafy Stranmillis, this restaurant
serves excellent Indian food in contemporary surroundings.
It tends to attract a lot of twentysomething singletons due to its ideal location close to the Queen's University buildings. As you would expect from the name, the food, and the clientèle, are hot stuff!
UP TO €50
Molly's Yard
(1 College Green Mews, Botanic Avenue,
tel: 028 9032 2600) This tiny restaurant is tucked away in
a quiet corner of south Belfast - blink and you'll miss it.
A perfect spot fora romantic evening, the food is delicious and so is the chocolate stout on offer in the home of Ireland's smallest microbrewery.
AM-PM
(67 Botanic Avenue, tel: 028 9023 9443)
Situated on bustling Botanic Avenue, this busy restaurant is the ideal venue for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Weather permitting you could grab a seat on the small outside terrace, or relax inside in the sumptuous surroundings as a DJ or live jazz quartet play gently in the background.
EXCLUSIVE
Aldens
(229 Upper Newtownards Road, tel: 028 9065 0079)
Although it's a bit off the tourist trail, this restaurant is well worth making the effort to visit. It's located on the outskirts of east Belfast and specialises in seafood and game - try the roast fillet
fish of the day.
James Street South
(21 James Street South, tel: 028 9043 4310) Undoubtedly
one of the best restaurants in Belfast, James Street South
is housed on the ground floor of anrefurbished linen mill close to the City Hall. The décor is minimalist and the food is excellent, with weekly changing set and à la carte menus.

LOW KEY
The Morning Star (17-19 Pottingers Entry, tel: 0289023 5986) This terrific old bar dates back to 1810, and not much has changed since. The Guinness still pours from the taps and fantasticm food still flies out of the kitchen.
LIVE MUSIC
The Empire Music Bar
(42 Botanic Avenue, tel: 028 9024 9276)
Over the last decade this converted church has played host to some of the biggest names in the music business. Head down for a night of pumping
live music in either the main room or the
intimate basement bar
The Black Box
(18-22 Hill Street, tel: 028 90244400) Opened
several years ago in the Cathedral Quarter, this fantastic venue has quickly become the epicentre for cutting-edge music in the city. Expect to hear
everything from Polish grunge to Lloyd Cole
LATE & LIVELY
McCracken's
(4 Joy's Entry, tel: 028 9032 6711) Voted 2009
Belfast Pub of the Year, McCracken's is a terrific bar tucked down an historic alley close to the main shopping district. At the weekends it morphs
into a club - Friday nights see soul music
and on Saturdays you can groove to R'n'B.
Stiff Kitten
(1 Bankmore Square, Dublin Road, tel: 0289023 8700) From the outside this club doesn't look like the venue for a fun night out - it's situated on
the ground floor of a multi-storey car park
- but don't be fooled. The Kitten is packed throughout the week with a lively student
crowd, who stay till late.
