Belfast's Michelin-starred restaurant offering minimalist decor and maximum flavor. Wood-fired cooking techniques and exceptional ingredients create unforgettable dishes in an unpretentious setting.
OX holds a Michelin star in Belfast, pairing minimalist decor with wood-fired cooking techniques applied to exceptional local ingredients. Wood-fired beef and local seafood are dishes that showcase the kitchen's technique, alongside a tasting menu that runs through its fuller range. The dining room is understated and unpretentious for a Michelin-starred restaurant, clean lines and a relaxed mood rather than heavy formality, reflecting the restaurant's ethos of letting the food speak for itself. A carefully chosen wine list supports the wood-fired menu without being overly extensive. Reservations are required, particularly for weekend dinner, given the restaurant's reputation and limited seating.
