A
Roscoff
A muted décor in shades of slate blue, white and dark grey, with polished wood floors and white linen, puts the food squarely centre stage in this sophisticated and smoothly run restaurant. Part of the Paul Rankin stable, Roscoff takes inspiration from Irish produce and French cuisine, with dishes such as carpaccio (very thin slices of raw meat) of venison with celeriac remoulade, and pot roast turbot with mussels and tarragon cream.
There's a two-/three-course lunch menu for around £16/around £20, and a three-course dinner menu for £25 (Monday to Thursday only).

Shu
If you want to know who to blame for all those copycat designer restaurants with the dark-wood-and-chocolate-brown-leather decor, then look no further. Lording it over the hipper-than-than-thou Lisburn Rd since 2000, Shu is the grand-daddy of Belfast chic, a stylish restaurant that is still winning awards for its food. The French-influenced menu includes smoked Lough Neagh eel with horse-radish cream and beetroot purée, and crispy pork belly with cauliflower purée, potato gratin and cider soaked raisins.

Great Room
Set in the former banking hall of the Ulster Bank head office, the Great Room is a jaw-dropping extravaganza of gilded stucco, red plush, white marble cherubs and a vast crystal chandelier glittering beneath a glass dome. The menu matches the decor: decadent but delicious, a French-influenced catalogue of political incorrectness laced with foie gras, veal, truffles and caviar. A set three-course dinner menu (£25) is available from 6pm to 10pm Monday to Thursday.
