The Merchant Hotel in Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter has been named as one of the ‘Most Beautiful Restaurants in the UK’.

The only restaurant in the north featured on the Top Twelve list, the accolade was awarded in recognition of the dining experience in the Great Room Restaurant.

Compiled by OpenTable, a leading provider of online restaurant reservations, The Merchant Hotel Afternoon Tea was described as the perfect excuse to visit its stunning Great Room Restaurant.

The Open Table review added: “Boasting a wealth of original Victorian features, intricate glass skylights and a stunning central chandelier, it’s the perfect spot for an extra special occasion.

“The discreet service ensures you’ll want for nothing while you focus on the food and your fellow diners. Expect classic afternoon tea offerings including fluffy scones and delicate sandwiches.



“The patisserie team uses innovative techniques to create pastries and treats that are just as pretty as they are delicious.

“The selection of teas has something for everyone from refreshing cherry blossom to rich oolong. Vegan, vegetarian and nut-alternative menus ensure everyone can enjoy a special experience.”
