Lanting is a fantastic new Chinese restaurant in the heart of Belfast’s Queen’s Quarter. Serving up delicious plates packed with authentic Chinese flavours, the restaurant offers a terrific variety of options, from its extensive menu. From traditional sizzling stir fries to contemporary Asian specialities, there’s a brilliant selection of dishes to choose from.
We were seated in the opulently appointed dining room, with its dramatic red and black colour scheme, clever lighting touches, and trickling water features.
Cocktails & Starters
We started with some excellent cocktails to accompany our appetisers of crispy, sesame-topped Prawn Toast, prettily presented Wasabi King Prawns served in shot glasses, golden, sweet Caramel Chicken Wings, and Dim Sum of Fried Prawn Dumplings.
Signature Beijing Roast Duck.
Then came the culinary theatre of the sensational, not-to-be-missed, Signature Beijing Roast Duck. Also known as Peking Duck, this iconic dish is presented and carved at the table; the dark, glossy skin, tender flavourful meat, and delicate pancake wrappings with sweet hoisin sauce, cucumber, and scallions, was utterly delicious.
Mains
To follow, we enjoyed a Signature Monkfish Duo in black pepper sauce and wasabi, a whole Thai Steamed Sea Bass, served on the bone with chilli, lime and herbs, and some fragrant, spicy Crispy Mala Tofu.
Dessert
And we finished our meal with a plate of Fried Ice Cream to share, along with a couple of shots of Chinese Wine!
For stylish surroundings, friendly service, and superb Chinese cuisine, LanTing absolutely hits the spot! Many thanks for an excellent experience.
