Waterman Restaurant
Description
Award-winning chef Niall McKenna has launched his new Waterman restaurant in the heart of Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter.
Niall, a proud champion for Northern Ireland’s tourism and hospitality sector, said: “Waterman House is an iconic building in one of Belfast’s finest architectural locations, and we’re thrilled to announce that Waterman is now open under the same roof as our Waterman House Cookery School. We hope our plans for an exciting, creative hub in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter can help breathe new life into this vibrant part of the city, and we believe it’s the perfect spot for a new culinary venture.
“Customers will enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and excellent classic European-style cuisine made with quality local produce. What people want more than ever is quality food and great service, and that’s what we will deliver at Waterman.''
Former James Street Apprentice and Head Chef at Hadskis Aaron McNeice has been appointed Head Chef at Waterman. He said: “I am really excited for the opening of Waterman. I think it’s going to be a great addition to the Cathedral Quarter. I think the people of Belfast will be very interested in what we have to offer with the restaurant, event spaces as well as our cookery school. I’m very excited to be given this opportunity, a new restaurant in a great location and I can’t wait to get stuck in.”
Since opening in 2003, restaurants within the James Street South Group of restaurants have been recognised for food and service excellence by the Michelin guide, the Waitrose Food Guide, Food & Wine Magazine and in the prestigious Georgina Campbell awards.
As well as the cookery school, which opened last summer, and the new Waterman restaurant, the old Bushmills bonded warehouse is also home to conference and event spaces.
