Chez Mal Belfast is the brasserie and bar inside Malmaison Belfast at 34–38 Victoria Street. Its bright dining room combines comfortable booths and an energetic atmosphere with a modern British brasserie style and a subtle French influence.
The kitchen uses global inspiration and contemporary techniques while retaining recognisable brasserie foundations. Konro and Josper grills bring live fire character to the cooking, with particular attention given to carefully matured, grass fed British beef and ingredient led plates.
Lunch and dinner can be followed by cocktails from the bar, and a prix fixe menu offers a more structured two or three course route at selected times. Sunday lunch and afternoon tea provide distinct occasions beyond the regular brasserie service.
Afternoon tea includes savoury bites, small desserts and warm scones, with alternative menus available by advance arrangement. The kitchen cannot guarantee an allergen free environment, so guests with allergies or dietary requirements should contact the Belfast team before booking.
Address: 34–38 Victoria Street, Belfast BT1 3GH, Northern Ireland
