SHU REVIEWS
Really good food! We visited on a Sunday evening. Service was attentive and casual. We ordered the chicken gochujang and gnocchi from the regular menu and oyster mushrooms and cauliflower dish from the vegan menu. The vegan dishes were the best we have had in S. and N. Ireland. Highly recommend!
What a lovely restaurant. We stumbled across this place and glad we did! Excellent food. Great service, just the right amount of attentiveness. Probably the best desert I've ever had too!
Best dinner we've had in [Northern] Ireland! Excellent duck, excellent lamb, excellent accompaniments, great wine pairing recommendation, and wonderful service. Thank you!

PARISIEN REVIEWS
We came for the Sunday brunch and the staff were amazing. Able to sit us on a table of ten and kept us topped up the whole time. Both good and cocktails were great! Really recommend the prawn pasta
Wonderful French restaurant! Had side salad and salmon off the appetizer menu with a glass of Chardonnay and was a happy customer! Will be back.
This place is fantastic, friendly staff, the quality of the food is outstanding, specially the deserts. I keep coming back!

NOVELLI AT CITY QUAYS REVIEWS
We brought our Australian relative here and we had an amazing dinner. We had views of the Titanic building and H&W which was beautiful and the food was so good! Very well presented and cooked to perfection! The service was also really good! Very professional and friendly. Will definitely be back!
The risotto was world class. The pie was also excellent. The Tarte tatin was crispy and sticky with a great ice cream pairing. The serving time was great and the staff were accommodating. I also stayed in the hotel and enjoyed the buffet breakfast on both days.
Nice restaurant in the AC Hotel on Donegal Quay. Great views of the harbor. Nice bar. For dinner I had the brisket pie. A ton of beef in gravy with a few vegetables and a pastry to. I thought it was very good and rich treating. The French onion soup has a touch of a sweet taste with a pastry to. No melted cheese which I would have liked... It's was an excellent soup anyways. Creme brulee was unusually large. Typical. I think you will enjoy it if you like creme brulee. We will return. Prices were 25 to 30 pounds per person.
