  Very nice Had a great stay in the hotel,staff were very attentive. Billy,was very helpful at giving us directions on our first day as well as the restaurant manager. We will be back.

  A good new restaurant in Belfast We ate here with some friends and everything was good. The food was excellent, a good mix of classic french dishes and modern european dishes, nice views over the river and some great wines. Highly recommended.

  Newly opened in Mariott AC Hotel Donegal Quay. Don't often have lunch in hotel restaurants, but thought would like to see what Jean Christophe Novelli's would be like having only opened this week. Was not disappointed in fact the Lemon Sole off the... Read more bone was delicious served with al dente veggies and pomme frites married with glass of Pinot Grigio, had glass of bubbles to begin. The advisor opted for duck, (so many duck dishes over the years have been complete disasters) well this one passed the test, I am readily informed it was devine, served with dauphinois and married with glass Malbec. Skipped out on desert (no room) but I really fancied the Tarte Tatin one of Novelli signature dishes. Next time will definitely be back, by wish stage all workmen will have departed and things will be a little calmer on entering the building. Would highly recommend this very modern restaurant in a heartbeat. Read less

  Take 2 My first visit was disappointing. So decided to give it another try. I put my first visit down to teething issues.

Glad I did. Service was excellent and really appreciated the interaction and conversation from the... Read more restaurant manager Michael.

The restaurant had really upped its game. We had started with scallops and squid. Cooked to perfection. I followed with a fillet. For me I prefer my meat rare but it can be hit and miss. So even thinking of having a blue steak can be an ordeal. However the staff assured me a blue steak was no trouble. They were right. It came out perfectly cooked for me. I didn’t even need to season it.

Please do try Novelli’s and if you went there initially when they opened, allow for newly opened teething problems. They have really got their game on.

The ambiance is relaxed in a warm modern contemporary setting. The hotel sits right beside the Lagan and has a waterside Terrace. Really great for sitting at for drinks or coffee and having some lunch. Read less

  Gorgeous setting Lovely views and setting, friendly staff, gorgeous food, good service. They maybe forget about you a bit when it comes to getting your bill. Tip added too the price saves finding change for it.

  Perfect in every way ? Had lunch at Novelli earlier today. We sat outside as the sunshine was glorious. I simply can not fault the experience from start to finish.
