Top chef Jean-Christophe Novelli provides flavour of plans for signature Belfast restaurant

World-renowned chef Jean-Christophe Novelli has given Belfast diners a flavour of the culinary expertise he'll be bringing to the city when he opens his new signature restaurant in City Quays, the latest development at Belfast Harbour Estate.

This will be the only restaurant the multi-Michelin-starred and 5 out of 5 AA Rosette award-winning chef will open on the island of Ireland, and will be part of the new £25 million Marriott Hotel.

Ahead of the restaurant opening next year, Jean-Christophe today showcased the world-famous food offering he’ll be serving up at the new venture, which will be known as “Jean-Christophe Novelli at City Quays”, in an event at the historic Harbour Commissioners’ office.

The four-star AC Hotel by Marriott Belfast is Belfast’s newest waterfront hotel development which will feature the landmark 104-seat restaurant, as well as bar, lounge, gym, meeting rooms and almost 190 luxury bedrooms.
