The breakfast brunch menu includes poached eggs and avocado, savoury waffles, granola and Mr Tumnus Fry; or enjoy a homemade scone with strawberry jam and fresh cream. The Lamppost Café is dog friendly, so bring your pooch along for breakfast and treat them to a special Puppy Plates menu of sausage, chicken pieces or puppucchino (steamed milk with a dog biscuit).

St George’s Market
There’s plenty to choose from in St George’s Market food and craft market, open Saturday and Sunday morning from 9am and 10am consecutively. With loads of food vendors to choose from, you can have anything from homemade scones from local bakeries to French-style crêpes. Feeling hungry? Try a belly busting Belfast bap from the Belfast Bap Co – a cooked breakfast stacked in a floury, soft bread roll.
Grand Café
Step into the vibrant and contemporary Grand Café at the Grand Central Hotel for a glamourous yet laid back breakfast experience. Open from 8.30am for cooked breakfasts, the menu includes tempting variations of eggs on potato bread or sourdough toast and an indulgent range of signature specials such as brioche French toast with cinnamon and berry compote. Top it off with one of their speciality smoothies, health kick tea or simply a delicious coffee.
Great Room Restaurant
The Great Room Restaurant at The Merchant Hotel is one of Northern Ireland’s most exquisite restaurants. Though known for its evening fine dining menus, the Great Room is open daily for breakfast from 7am to 10am (10.30am on weekends and bank holidays) and offers an exceptional continental and cooked breakfast menu.
