mrDeanes is a bistro, bar and social restaurant at 28-40 Howard Street in central Belfast. The ninety seat venue sits alongside Deanes Meat Locker and builds on Michael Deane’s long history of hospitality in the city. Its contemporary room is deliberately vibrant, suited to relaxed lunches, dinners and social occasions.
À la carte menus combine longstanding Deanes classics with modern dishes based on top quality, locally sourced ingredients. Meat, fish and seasonal vegetables are prepared with skill and imagination while the bistro format keeps the result approachable. Lunch and dinner selections allow diners to choose between a shorter visit and a fuller multi course meal.
A dedicated vegetarian and vegan menu supports mixed groups, and tailored menus can be discussed for private events. Gluten, dairy, nuts and other allergens are handled in shared preparation areas, so guests should provide requirements before ordering. Social Privé can be hired for seated groups, giving the restaurant a defined space for more personal gatherings.
Wine, cocktails, beer and soft drinks complete the experience and receive the same attention as the food. Service runs from Tuesday to Saturday, concentrating the restaurant’s energy across lunch and dinner periods. mrDeanes connects the experience of an established Belfast restaurant group with a less formal, more openly sociable style of dining.
