OX Belfast Restaurant in Belfast

Reviews

   Delightful experience. Well deserved one star. The room is both stylish and relaxing. Service is warm and attentive but not fussy. The food was inventive and always delivered flavour with flair. The wine list is well curated and not overwhelming. Lots of variety and price points with a wide range of by-the-glass wines. We didn't go for matching wines but the sommelier Nick gave us great recommendations. Highly recommend for a special dinner.

   Had a fantastic meal with my brothers while in Belfast - we were treated like royalty and every bite we had was absolutely delicious. We did not order wine, but had several cocktails that were top notch. I highly recommend dining at the Ox.

   As a Michelin one-star restaurant, and compared to a couple of one-star restaurants I've tried in Paris, I would rate this a 3/5. In general, the food was good and the presentation was very colorful. However, the food was overall too salty, which made it unbalanced and difficult to taste the complex flavors. My favorite dish was the lobster with green beans; the green beans were cooked perfectly, which I imagine is very hard to do. The most disappointing dish was the fish, which had a slightly coarse salt texture on it. For the service, I'd say it was average. One thing worth mentioning is that the knife used for the lamb dish was more like a bread knife. I was also surprised to be charged a service fee at a Michelin-starred restaurant, as I consider a high level of service to be part of the dining experience already. Another point to mention is that we were served two sorbets for dessert, which I thought was a little lazy. The goat milk sorbet was interesting, but the strawberry sorbet was just a regular sorbet and wasn't a good ending to the meal.

   Great location. Amazing food. Wonderful service. Had the tasting menu - selections of amuse bouche, sourdough, 2 appetizers, 2 mains, 2 desserts, and some small bites to complete the experience. Menus are refreshed regularly. Our favorite were the veal appetizer and turbot. The individual food comes in small portions, but towards the end we were quite full. They have great selections of cocktails too. All on all, absolutely delicious food. Service was great, servers explained the menu clearly, took notice on the dietary restrictions. Overall atmosphere was great - feels clean and sophisticated. Reservations required, with smart casual dress code. Would definitely come back if we ever go back to Belfast again.

   Every time I come to Belfast I go to the OX Cave. I like to stay there for a few hours and enjoy the tasting menu. The service is exceptional and the manager, Mrs. Marta, has always proved to be very competent in proposing the right wines in combination with the food, revealing not only in-depth knowledge of the characteristics of the wines, but also of the menu offered. Beyond this, Mrs. Marta manages the place in a commendable way. Everything is perfect! Nowadays it is not easy to find such a capable and professional person. I conclude by congratulating all the staff.

   This review is based on the Michelin star. There was a huge amount of effort in the presentation of the food. It was magnificent. However, on a few of the dishes the flavour wasn't really apparent. The service was on another level. Pure class. I love people who are passionate for their job and the folks at Ox know their food and drink.

   One of three restaurants in Belfast to hold a Michelin star, Ox is a dining delight. We opted for the 3 course lunch menu rather than the 7 course Tasting menu, which also offers optional wine pairing. We were greeted by James, who ensured an attentive but not intrusive, seamless front of house experience. Ox Somelier Nick provided expert advice as we opted for an excellent Vino Verde. I can only describe our food as sublime and before we reluctantly left, we made an evening reservation when we intend to explore the anticipated delights of Ox Tasting menu

   Phenomenal. We had the tasting menu with paired wine and then treated ourselves to the cheese and wine also. It was the right decision. Pairings were unbelievably perfect for each course and we were taken on a journey with the staffs descriptions. Attention to detail and to us were top notch. Thank you Ox team. It was a really special day.

   A wonderful delight of a meal (6 course dinner with wine pairing). Every dish was well presented, thoroughly described and explained, as was the wine pairing. Some very interesting wine selections including very unusual choices. All in all, on par with some of the best restaurants I’ve been in. Service was impeccable as well, in every way. Loved it. Thank you!
