1st time visitors We finally got the chance for our first visit to Novelli at City Quays on a lovely Belfast afternoon.

We had a meeting in the nearby Cathedral Quarter and decided to try out the latest hotel... Read more in the Belfast area.

Very pleasant greeting from the staff on entry and shown to a table with lovely views over the lagan river and onwards to Titanic Belfast.

We both chose from the Prix Fixe menu and i have to say the Monkfish was perfectly cooked and accompanied by spinach/chickpeas/saffron rice, lovely combination. My colleague had the Rotisserie Chicken and past comment on how succulent the meal was.

We both had the Novelli Baked Tarte Tatin to finish, wasn't disappointed!!

The staff were very attentive but not "in your face". We had a couple of drinks outside afterwards and will definitely be back again soon. Read less

  Good food and great staff The Novelli bar and restaurant is located inside one of Belfast's newest hotels, the AC Hotel Belfast (Marriott's) on the harbor. Great selection of food for breakfast or lunch. The staff, especially, Malik, was warm... Read more and greeting each time I ate there. Read less

  Great Food The food and service here is just wonderful, I was there when it was quite empty (Monday Lunch) and yet the atmosphere was lovely. This is a must if you are in Belfast.

  Overall a very good dining experience I lived in the hotel here for awhile, so I had the chance to eat several meals here. The staff was always friendly and helpful, even on busy nights where I didn't have a reservation... Read more and just wanted to come from my room to eat.

One great thing is that they actually do seasonal food, something a lot of hotels fail to do. The menu changed during my stay, and while I might have been disappointed to see favorites I had disappear, they were replaced with great new options to try. I really applaud them for doing this.

I can't say I had a bad meal while there, and I did try a variety of dishes. I quite like their burgers, to be honest, but even the entrees were good.

The bar can be a bit tricky, however, as it's a bit unclear if they will come to your table to take orders or not. For the record, it does not appear they do, as no one ever came to me while at a bar table to take a drink or food order, so plan to go to the bar to order. Also, when you sit at the short end of the bar facing the windows, it can be hard to get the attention of the bar tender, so be sure to sit on the longer sides if there is room.

Lastly, I want to give a special note to their pastry chef. Honestly, the desserts there were amazing and some of them were just really creative; more than I was expecting. Read less

  Very nice We dined here on it's first Friday evening service and so we weren't sure how slick it was going to be but we couldn't fault it for friendliness and pleasant service. The menu whilst grand... Read more was a one page affair, however when you started to go through it the selection was pretty good. We ordered the burgers with the usual trimmings and could just about finish them, so you couldn't question the portion sizes. The restaurant can open up onto the North Promenade of the River Lagan, with terrific views over to the Titanic Centre and would be lovely spot to be out on during better weather. Definitely be back.
