Novelli at City Quays is the waterfront restaurant at AC Hotel Belfast on Donegall Quay. Looking across Belfast Lough, it combines an open, contemporary dining room with a terrace that makes the setting an important part of the meal.
The food takes a Mediterranean and French influenced approach while making use of produce sourced from Northern Ireland. That combination gives the menu a clear sense of place without confining it to one narrow style of cooking.
Service extends across the day, with options for lunch, afternoon tea and dinner as well as lighter plates. The restaurant’s broad format works for hotel guests, local diners and visitors who want a meal close to the harbour and the city centre.
Cocktails and other drinks complement both a full dinner and a more relaxed visit to the terrace, while vegetarian and vegan choices help accommodate mixed groups. Guests with allergies, intolerances or specific dietary requirements should check the current menu and preparation details with staff before ordering.
Address: AC Hotel Belfast, City Quays, 90 Donegall Quay, Belfast BT1 3FE, Northern Ireland
