Blank Restaurant

A rare dining experience filled with interesting and delicious food and wine. Service was exceptional and before we knew it we had been sat at our table for over 4 hours! Remarkable!

Fantastic tasting menu, it may be my new favourite in Belfast! Wine pairing complements the dishes very well, when we go back we will be having it again. We had the 5 course tasting menu and the signature wine pairings, be prepared as this was extremely filling! Very balanced flavours, lovely chill atmosphere and a great idea in terms of using produce from the island of Ireland.

Wow. Where do I start. From the gin cocktail mixed by Christian right through to the very end, the meal was five star. Alex and Christina were wonderful waitstaff/ sommeliers who guided us through the meal from start to finish.
The Amuse Bouche, the pigeon, the chicken were perfectly sauced and balanced, on a quiet Thursday night, the attention to detail was perfect. And excellent wine list, and suggestions from Christina to match the cheese course was spot on. I can’t rate Blank highly enough! Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely.

In terms of vegetarian option I was really disappointed. For one of the dishes my husband who was eating from the regular menu got two pieces of lamb and a slice of lamb belly with broccoli. I got the broccoli and three slices of carrot. I understand they want to keep the flavours similar in the veggie dishes but the price should reflect that. Paying the same price when my husband got lamb and I got carrots doesn’t seem right… that is my only issue otherwise it was fine but this let the experience down. I don’t mind paying the same if I’m going to get just as much food etc. Just be aware of this if you are vegetarian.

Fantastic food and drink pairings (both alcoholic and non alcoholic), first rate service and presentation of dishes. We enjoyed the way both the world wine and the non alcoholic wine flight were used as an introduction to each course. It was such fun trying to guess what the next course would be as our sommelier described how the drinks would enhance the flavours of the food to come. It was my birthday celebration and not only did I get a card but also a small edible birthday surprise at the end – a beautiful delice with a candle on top! What was so amazing was that the two drink flights looked almost identical.
Would definitely recommend this for a special occasion.
