Belfast Restaurant Week is to return to the city following a two-year absence.

It aims to encourage people to dine out with friends and family over special menus.

The event, from September 19-25, includes dishes priced from as little as £10 for lunch and £15 for dinner, offering restaurants a platform to showcase their chefs and menus.

There will also be special offers throughout the week and a Big Belfast Brunch.

In addition, cookery demonstrations by local chefs will take place at St George’s Market.

Belfast Restaurant Week is being supported by the Business Improvement Districts (BID) across Belfast with Belfast One, Cathedral Quarter and the Linen Quarter all on board.

Chris McCracken, Managing Director of Linen Quarter BID, said: "We want to celebrate the creativity of our city's food and drink, and Belfast Restaurant Week is a great way for people to re-experience what is on offer at an affordable price.

"We invite people into Belfast city centre to sample the mouth-watering dishes on offer, at new restaurants and old favourites alike, and we hope you will come back hungry for more".
