This Belfast restaurant is âtop of the popsâ: Last Orders with Roamâs Ryan Jenkins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Four years after opening Roam on Belfastâs Callender Street, chef Ryan Jenkins still knows the value of a good meal that lets you relax. His 38-seat restaurant began as a series of pop-up dinners in 2018, held everywhere from distilleries to peopleâs back gardens. After finding a permanent home in 2022, Roam has built a following for its changing menu of Irish produce, alongside an extensive drinks selection and a carefully chosen soundtrack.

Together they make the room unmistakably hers. âItâs a bit chaotic but thatâs okay,â she smiles. âThatâs my personality.â The living room is Lizâs favourite space at Ballyeamon Barn, the tourist
Eating Out: First look inside Lisburn restaurantâs new home after £800,000 move (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is always a worry when a much-loved restaurant moves that something might get lost along the way. For 20 years, Square Bistro occupied a spot in Lisburn Square, building a loyal following while the businesses around it came and went. Now owners Cristina and Stevie Higginson have moved just down the road to Market Square, swapping the premises they rented for a building of their own. It is a considerable leap. The couple have spent £800,000 turning what was little more than a shell into th
