James Street South Restaurant opened it's doors in 2003 on a quiet side street in Belfast City Centre. We are within walking distance of the main hotels, theatres and shopping areas as well as the historic Crown Bar. Since opening, the restaurant has delivered a dining experience of the highest quality in comfortable and relaxed surroundings and our team pay close attention to detail.

Opened by Niall and Joanne McKenna the restaurant marries the best of Northern Irish produce with classical French cooking creating menus which change seasonally. Added to this a wine list of over 100 bins served by the glass, carafe and bottle our service is attentive and professional. The team of Geoff Kemps, Stephen Toman, William King and David Fogg continually strive to provide food, wine and service that exceed expectations and represent excellent value for money. Over the years we have won many awards and our Chef/Proprietor Niall McKenna featured in BBC2 Great British Menu program and won a place at a banquet with his dessert of Rhubarb and Strawberry with Lavendar Ice Cream. Since then the restaurant has received national recognition for its food and service.

In 2011 we have extended our premises to include a private dining room and cookery school.
