Shu

With great food, service and atmosphere Shu continues to provide the Belfast restaurant scene with a good value, and exceptional quality choice
Seats 80 (private room, 24). Open Mon-Sat, L & D 12pm-2.30pm & 5.30pm-9.30pm, Sun 12.30pm-7pm. Set D from about £20, also à la carte. Wines from about £20; s.c. discretionary (10% on parties of 6+). Children welcome (high chair, children's menu); air conditioning; free broadband wifi. Closed Christmas, 1 Jan, 11-13 Jul. Amex, Diners, MasterCard, Visa. abbreviations

Set back somewhat from the main road, tall arched windows and a smartly painted Victorian frontage exude warmth, providing a vivid contrast to the stainless steel efficiency of the bar and de rigeur ‘on view’ kitchen of Alan Reid’s much admired restaurant.


After a courteous welcome, guests are led into a large L shaped room which is light, airy, and atmospheric. 


Headed up by the fervent Great Britsh Menu star, Brian McCann, since 2004, a talented team of chefs are in pursuit of gastronomic excellence - McCann's unwavering enthusiasm for uncomplicated quality food is unmistakable in the menus at Shu. A complimentary nibble augurs well for what is to follow, and menus really do have something to suit every taste and pocket. 


This Belfast Restaurants choice of menus - notably the crowd-pulling 3-8-3 lunch and 5-10-5 dinner menus that, with lunch and dinner at just £14 and £20 respectively, offer exceptional value without sacrificing quality - illustrate this talented chef's dedication to seasonal provenance.


Under the supervision of restaurant manager Julian Henry, an enthusiastic, friendly restaurant team offer a very professional service – and, to match the food, a well-researched wine list includes many choices available by the glass.


Downstairs one of the city's favourite cocktail bars, Shubar, is the perfect place to enjoy pre or post dinner drinks, and an upstairs room (where a refurb is planned) is available for private parties.


With great food, service and atmosphere Shu continues to provide the Belfast restaurant scene with a good value, and exceptional quality choice.
