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.

    Booked on short notice but definitely found a top class restaurant. Both of us had steak, I had the sirloin special and can confidently say it was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. Service was top class the only reason I’ve docked a star was due to having a significant wait after ordering until we got our food. Based on the quality of food we had we quickly forgot the wait! Would 10/10 recommend to anyone when in Belfast. On the expensive side but it was definitely worth it.
