2020 Award Winners CASUAL DINING RESTAURANT OF THE YEAR 2020

James St. Belfast

Niall McKenna, chef-proprietor of one of the city’s top restaurant groups and a leader in the development of Northern Ireland’s thriving food scene, brought a little bit of New York to Belfast some years ago when he opened a classy urban steakhouse, The Bar and Grill, alongside his fine dining mecca, James Street South. Now, having merged the two, James St. has become one of the city’s top casual dining destinations. The Josper charcoal grill still plays centre stage, cooking not just some of the best steaks and prime cuts Northern Ireland has to offer but also fresh whole fish, pork and vegetables - and some of the favourites from the old fine dining menus are finding a new home here too. A great informal dining experience in Belfast city centre.
