Our second visit to Millar’s Grill and Seafood, a terrific new addition to Belfast’s city centre food scene, was a wonderful way to spend an evening celebrating a friend’s birthday.
With subtle lighting enhancing the atmospheric decor, Millar’s main dining room is a perfect fusion of modern and traditional design.
We started with our favourite Signature Cocktails; a frothy, citrusy “Sea Lemon”, like a lemon meringue pie in a glass, “Curiously Fashioned”, smoked and fragrant with cinnamon & fig aromas, and a tangy “Apricot Gimlet”.
We ordered some snacks and starters to share; a fresh Japanese Tuna Tartare with squid ink tuile and creme fraiche wasabi, flaky Monkfish Sausage Rolls with mushroom ketchup, Thai Steamed Mussels in a creamy coconut broth, Tempura Enoki Mushrooms, and a Bread Selection with tapenade and seaweed butter.
The seafood in Millar’s is sensational; the Tuna Steak was perfectly cooked, seared on the outside and moist and pink in the centre, served with Béarnaise Sauce, Fries & Salad, the Seabass was accompanied by Romesco, chicory, toasted almonds & crushed potatoes, the Pan-Fried Cod was moist & flaky with salsify, mussel sauce, parsley oil and crispy mussels, and the Beer Battered Haddock and triple cooked chips was a traditional crowd-pleaser with crunchy golden batter.
To finish, the dessert special of Caramelised Banana Eclair with almond brittle and miso custard was an imaginative take on the flavours associated with banoffee pie, and the generous Cheeseboard was more than enough for our party to share.
The wine list has many excellent bottles to choose from, and is exceptional value, as are the Pre-Theatre and Express Lunch menus.
Using the very best local produce, Millar’s Lanyon Quay restaurant is a superb showcase of quality local seafood & steaks, with faultless service, a buzzing vibe and delicious dishes.
