The Great Room Restaurant is undoubtedly one of Northern Ireland’s most extraordinary restaurants. Thanks to the remarkable original Victorian interior with its glass cupola, Ireland’s largest chandelier an array of plasterwork detailing, the space is second to none. Needless to say our chefs search tirelessly to bring the finest seasonal ingredients together in eloquent dishes in thoughtfully prepared menus, just one of the reasons The Great Room Restaurant was awarded 2 AA Rosettes. All this is complemented by expert service and a wine list to which all the superlatives apply!
Mid- week lunch is served Monday to Friday from 12.00 to 14.15

To book our iconic Afternoon Tea, please search for Afternoon Tea at The Merchant Hotel.

Another excellent meal in the Great Room. Food is superb if expensive but great for a special occasion. The service was efficient if somewhat impersonal, which has not been our experience previously. Still a good night out and recommended.

Très bon dîner dans un magnifique cadre et service impeccable. Tout était parfait sauf peut-être la carte des vins avec des millésimes jeunes.
