As part of leading chef Niall McKenna’s grand plan to create a major hospitality hub in the city’s Cathedral Quarter, he closed the excellent Hadskis on Commercial Court in 2022 and moved the whole team here to open a new restaurant at this old Bushmills bonded warehouse - an impressive Grade B listed building that is also home to Waterman House Cookery School along with conference and event spaces.
Flavour-packed ingredients-led modern European cooking is the style and, with Hadskis head chef (and former James St. apprentice) Aaron McNeice leading the kitchen and a ready-made following, the high-ceilinged, atmospherically pared-back Waterman was soon one of Belfast’s hottest destinations.
