Luxuriate in the grandeur of The Great Room Restaurant at one of Northern Ireland’s most prestigious hotels, The Merchant.

Step inside the spectacle and splendour of this historical room, boasting towering pillars, glorious arched windows and classic décor reminiscent of an historical ballroom. The chintzy tableside lamps, velvet chairs and pinstriped carpets give a regal feel, perfect for a special occasion. They were recently awarded 2 AA Rosettes and their passionate chefs have crafted a lovely Breakfast menu for early risers.

Help yourself to a continental spread or upgrade to The Great Room Breakfast, which includes: items from the continental and tea or coffee plus a main breakfast dish. Be sure to try the Walter Ewing’s smoked salmon and scrambled eggs or a Full Irish Breakfast served with Clonakilty black and white pudding, potato bread and soda farl for a traditional Celtic taste.

Sunday’s call for a 2 or 3-course roast banquet at The Great Room. Start with handmade Cavatelli pasta with braised rabbit and Pommery mustard or, for veggies, twice baked squash souffle, buttered spinach and Comté cheese sauce. Mains include local venison loin with crisp sausage, roast pear, Savora mustard and celeriac. Leave room for dessert with many delicious options available.

Located just across the River Lagan, Titanic Quarter Rail Station is under a ten-minute walk away from The Merchant Hotel.

    Wow this was a stunning restaurant within the Merchant hotel (where we were staying for two nights). Got a reservation easily on a Saturday night. Fillet steak medium was amazing, with a side of garlic potatoes. Great experience with the tableside Irish Coffee too. I recommend!

    Very nice place !! Amazing atmosphere and extremely friendly staff. Got an afternoon tea and stayed for 5 hours, and they did not kick us out or try to hint us to leave. I love places that respect guest and allow them to fully enjoy the time. The food was amazing, they also accommodated to my friends diet restriction, Honestly nothing negative to say.

    A very classy and sophisticated interior design with an ambience oozing old money elegance. The cocktail bar serves interesting and delicious drinks whilst the restaurant is stunning. Food was nice but not extraordinary. Service was very decent overall. Highly recommended and most definitely one of the best in Belfast. (expensive though).
