James St, Belfast
Not showy. Not pretentious. Just a great dining experience. That’s James Street. Head chef Monteiro Agostinho has earned Michelin Bib Gourmand status for this restaurant; it’s easy to see why. The menu changes according to what’s local and seasonal. A frequent highlight is the beef. Some of the best steaks and prime cuts in Northern Ireland are cooked here on a charcoalfuelled Josper grill. Their taste and texture have to be experienced to be believed.
