The Seahorse
Relax, Wine & Dine
The Seahorse Restaurant Belfast is an exquisite second-floor venue in the Grand Central Hotel featuring three distinctive spaces: a restaurant, lounge, and bar, each offering a unique experience. With exceptional cuisine, expertly crafted cocktails, and sumptuous fabrics and fittings, The Seahorse radiates quality from every angle. Art deco accents, soaring ceilings, and expansive layout create a distinctive drama, while the atmosphere seamlessly evolves throughout the day as the sun journeys across the sky.
For an authentic culinary experience, The Seahorse’s à la carte menu features a thoughtfully curated selection of courses that showcase the creativity and expertise of Executive Head Chef Damian Tumilty. Each dish reflects the changing seasons, with local ingredients taking centre stage. From fresh Irish seafood to decadent desserts, every plate tells a story of the landscape it is born from.
If you’re seeking a place to relax or an evening to remember, The Seahorse Bar and Lounge provides just that, perfectly placed in the heart of Belfast. Offering daily delights of cream tea and coffee in the beautiful lounge, and sumptuous cocktails and wine to enjoy an evening in the bar, there’s no better place to spend the day.
