Steak

The clue is in the name....and for the juiciest, most flavorsome steaks around, no matter how you take it, it's hard to beat a Josper-cooked steak! The secret is our Josper grill, a very particular style of Spanish charcoal oven, which is regarded by chefs worldwide as the finest method of cooking super tender steaks, while locking in all those wonderful flavors. So whether it's Sirloin or Rib Eye you prefer, the unique smoky, barbecue-style taste of our locally sourced, prime aged steaks is, we believe, out of this world! If, however, steaks are not your thing, then fear not, as we also offer a wide-ranging & amp; varied menu and quick & easy Light Lunch menu.

Yardbird is our rotisserie chicken restaurant upstairs above The Dirty Onion. Our menu is small but our flavours are big. Ok, we do chicken, but our chicken is famous!
Our local free-to-roam chicken is marinated for 24 hours in lemon, buttermilk, and paprika. It is then dry-rubbed, cooked and blast-chilled to keep it juicy and finally roasted on the spit. Ribs and wings are also available, as are a choice of sides and homemade desserts. Hungry yet?
We prepare all our food in-house and service is fast!
This is a booking for Yardbird the restaurant, The Dirty Onion bar operates on a first come first serve basis.

We founded Pizza on the Square out of a deep love for real food, for food that is fresh and authentic.
The restaurant offers a range of pizzas, cocktails and fine wines.
Pizza on the Square is located right beside Belfast City Hall at 1 Donegall Square West. You literally can’t get any more central than that. The Scottish Provident Building is a stone's throw from the city's key bus and train networks.

    Busy time of year to visit. Booked a table which is a must in Christmas week. Seated promptly. Server was lovely. Our server forgot to order our starters, which wasn't really a problem other than them arriving at the same time as our dinner but no biggy really. Food was OK not the worst but far from the best. Nice atmosphere other than a really loud table near us but it's Christmas. We were given a 10% off voucher for our next visit due to the error. We weren't expecting anything but that was a nice touch on their part. Would I go again? Yes but mot in the Christmas week. All in all a nice way to spend an afternoon.
