Pre-Theatre Dining in Belfast
Enjoy Exceptional Pre-Theatre Dining at the Seahorse Restaurant
Make your night at the theatre truly unforgettable with pre-theatre dining at the Seahorse Restaurant, Belfast’s premier fine dining destination for theatre-goers.
Situated in the heart of Belfast, just moments from the Grand Opera House, Waterfront Hall and The MAC, there’s no need to rush. Instead, let us set the stage for an unforgettable evening on the town.
There’s an art to the perfect evening, and it begins long before the curtain rises. At the Seahorse Restaurant, we know that exceptional food and exceptional performances belong together. From the moment you’re seated, we offer everything you’d expect from pre-theatre dining in Belfast city centre – and more. Expect nothing less than beautifully crafted dishes with seasonality and local produce at heart, allowing you to savour every moment before the pre-show rush. Delight in dishes of Mushroom Consommé to Silverhill Duck Confit and decadent Irish Coffee-Misu, designed to be savoured, with plenty of time before the curtain rises.
Available Wednesday to Saturday from 5pm-6.30pm, and from 1pm-3pm on Saturdays for matinee performances, our pre-theatre menu offers two delicious courses, paired with an exquisite glass of Bollinger, should you so desire, from £35. Choose from carefully crafted starters, mains and desserts with no compromise on experience or flavour.
Every great performance deserves a great first act. Reserve your table at Seahorse and make your next night at the theatre in Belfast one to remember.
