Vibrant and contemporary, The Grand Café is a dazzling space. Perfect for a long latte, bistro bite or simply a glass of Sauvignon, it has its own exclusive cosmopolitan vibe. Step in from Bedford Street to discover a place which is cool in an understated, laidback kind of way – coolness that’s countered by its spirited Belfast charm.
Walls of windows flood the space with light, the sweeping counter invites gastronomic perusing and assorted seating suits all manner of get togethers – from the casual meeting to catch-ups over coffee and long, lazy lunches. The Grand Café is an everyday place with an easy-going elegance. It will catch your eye as you walk by but when you step inside you’ll want to stay.

This is one exquisite venue with two distinct spaces. Quality exudes from every angle – from the phenomenal cuisine and cocktails to the lavish fabrics and fittings. The art deco nods, high ceilings and sense of space add a distinctive drama – and the vibe inside shifts as the day rolls in and the sun rolls round.
The restaurant and bar feel bright at breakfast and mesmerisingly dreamy of an evening. And this is the Seahorse’s real allure, it’s a dual destination with multiple moods – the perfect backdrop for delicious dining and fine wines.

To be stunned, go to our skyhigh 23rd floor. The Observatory is the Grand Central’s jewel. An awe-inspiring cocktail lounge with spectacular, unique views of Belfast and beyond. From pavement to panorama, this is the highest bar in all of Ireland – and it makes for an extraordinary experience.
The decadent décor combined with the stunning vistas make the inside feel intimate, and the outside infinite. It’s the eyes over the city that gives this bar its
out-of-this-world air. The Grand Central is about showcasing the very best of Belfast, and the Observatory does that in high-definition.
