OX Belfast
One of the most exciting restaurants in Belfast has entered its second year just as strongly as it started. Head Chef Stephen Toman together with Front of House Alain Kerloc’h continue to wow even the most jaded food critic with their impeccable food and wine pairings.
Stephen is a true believer in seasonality and has the imagination and creativity to bring seemingly mundane ingredients to Technicolor life.What appears to be a simple combination of wild mushroom, broccoli and egg leaves your taste buds craving more, while a dish of hay baked celeriac, black garlic, burnt onion and sorrel blew us away and the desserts are quite simply the epitome of delicate yet decadent delights.
There are no tablecloths. The style is relaxed, the décor is paired back and the space buzzes with energy from the open kitchen, but make no mistake, this is fine dining at its absolute best and having just been awarded a 2016 Michelin star, the experts clearly agree.
