A new fully licensed Italian Pizzeria has recently opened its doors on the Ormeau Rd, serving up Stone Baked Pizzas, Pasta Dishes, Small Plates, Salads, Desserts and more!
Sister restaurant to Nico’s on the Lisburn Rd, the menu features delicious dishes inspired by the region of Calabria, and the team at Nico’s is committed to delivering authentic Italian flavours.

We loved the cool neon interior, festooned with flora, with nods to southern Italy in the fresco-style murals.
There are some great wines, beers & cocktails available, including Nico’s own draught!
We always love a couple of small plates to share, and the crunchy Calamari with aioli, charred lime, & salad leaves, and the oozy Cheese Doughballs stuffed with jalapeños and a hot honey dip, were both excellent appetisers.
To follow, we couldn’t resist ordering one of Nico’s legendary pizzas, the Caprino, with goat’s cheese, caramelised onions, mushrooms, garlic, & olives: crispy-based, slightly charred & perfectly baked!
We also really enjoyed the Tagliatelle Pesto with chicken, sunblush tomatoes, rocket & chilli, and a sprinkle of Parmesan and a drizzle of chilli oil took this fabulous dish to another level. With a side of Parmesan Fries & garlic mayo, this was an absolute feast.
And, of course, we had to order some boozy Gelato Affogato al Caffè and refreshing Limoncello to finish!
There are also menus to cater for gluten-free and vegan diets too.
Nico’s Pizzeria Restaurant is at 114-116 Ormeau Road, Belfast.
Salt Kitchen
Salt Kitchen in The Boulevard, Banbridge has just celebrated ten years of award-winning dining with a major expansion. We had visited Salt Kitchen in its previous incarnation, and had really enjoyed it, so we were delighted to be invited to experience the restaurant’s improvements for ourselves.
The restaurant has doubled in size and has moved to a new, larger space, which is bright, airy, and fitted out in a cool, contemporary style.
The menu has retained lots of Salt Kitchen’s signature dishes and is committed to using quality local ingredients.

From fresh seafood to locally sourced meats, all the dishes we tried were terrific; spicy Buffalo Wings in Salt Kitchen’s hot sauce, golden Panko Breaded Thai Fishcakes, Hand Battered Fish Tacos, Hannan’s Steak Sandwich drizzled with peppered sauce, rich, tomatoey King Prawn Orecchiette, Spice Bag Loaded Fries-every plate was packed with flavour!
And do leave room for some Jam & Coconut Sponge with custard from Perfect Desserts Bakery: old school nostalgia!
There’s also a great drinks list and we loved the opportunity to unleash our inner mixologist and recreate one of Salt Kitchen’s most popular cocktails, the “Apple Crumble”, made with Symphonia Apple Rum, lemon juice, egg white, apple juice, and a hint of Fireball Liqueur for a subtle cinnamon hit.
Gary Scott, Chef/Director of Salt Kitchen, shared his excitement: “This is a game-changer for Salt Kitchen. Moving into a larger space at The Boulevard gives us the opportunity to push culinary boundaries, introduce new dishes, and create an experience that truly stands out.”
Salt Kitchen is committed to delivering exceptional dining and outstanding service: “more creativity, more flavour, more innovation!”

Mr Snak
Mr Snak on the Woodvale Road in Belfast is becoming a fast food phenomenon; it’s so popular that queues of anxious customers can’t wait for the shutters to go up so that they can satisfy their Mr Snak addiction!
So, what makes this recently launched street food sensation such a hit? We had to pop along to find out!
Chef Aran has delivered a terrific menu of crowd-pleasers: from Tacos and Sandwiches, to Wraps and Fries, Mr Snak satisfies all tastes at hard to beat prices!
The “Snaks” which kick off the menu are golden, buttery toasties drizzled in garlic sauce: the “Garlic Snak” had a smashing cheese pull, with its combination of flavourful cheddar and stretchy mozzarella.
We loved the “Mr’s Tacos”; crispy tortillas stuffed with a variety of fillings from Beef Birria to Pulled Chicken served with a homemade Taco dip. And the Crispy Chicken & the Vegetarian Tacos were sensational sprinkled with fresh lime!
The Tijuana Wrap was crammed with chicken, peppers, mushrooms, sweetcorn, gherkins and plenty of oozy cheese.
There are lots of side options to accompany your meal; Hot Chips, Loaded Fries, Wedges, & creamy, peppery, cheesy Mexican Corn.
And to finish, make sure you try an amazing American-style Milkshake! The Nutella was a vanilla, nut and chocolate delight!
Mr Snak is open seven days a week: Monday-Thursday from 5pm – 10pm, and 4pm – 10.30pm on Friday, Saturday & Sunday.
