Joris Minne: Cafe Le Petit Ormeau
Monday, 6 February 2012
If Belfast were Paris, our Champs Elysees would be Royal Avenue, the 16th

the Jardins de Luxembourg would be the Botanic Gardens.

If at first you don’t succeed … give up. Don’t make a fool of

Food writers have different ways of carving out a style of critique that makes

Joris Minne: Il Pirata
Tuesday, 3 January 2012
East Belfast is at it again. Just when we were settling back into our
comfortable prejudices about the cold, stark and joyless east, up pops
restaurant tsar Sam Spain with a new and compelling idea — a diner named
after a dead Italian racing cyclist, Marco Pantani, aka Il Pirata (or The
Pirate — because of his fondness of ear-rings and bandanas).

Have you noticed how successful people from Northern Ireland look like famous
actors and celebrities? Christine Bleakley looks like supermodel Christy
Turlington, property developer Andy Creighton is a dead ringer for Joe Pesci
and tourism supremo Howard Hastings must surely be tired of being mistaken
for Tom Hanks.

Monday, 5 December 2011
Last year, a new restaurant-club-bar opened in Belfast that mixed fine food,
bad-ass music and a fresh attitude. If the restaurant sector could be

Running a restaurant is precarious. If you plotted a chart to measure
performance based on volume of diners over the months and years in a
selection of say 50 restaurants around the north you would soon uncover, er,
no pattern whatsoever.
