Local tips
- The tacos are exceptional—initial impressions of small portions are misleading; portions are generous and deeply satisfying.
- Book ahead for dinner service, especially weekends and pre-theatre slots (typically 5–7 PM). Walk-ins may face waits during peak hours.
- Check the weekly specials menu for rotating dishes and cocktails that complement the core menu and offer excellent value.
- The open kitchen provides excellent entertainment; request seating with a view if you enjoy watching chefs at work.
- Smart casual dress code applies; the atmosphere is relaxed but polished, so comfortable but put-together clothing is appropriate.

A Fusion of Flavours and Atmosphere
Hendrix brings together the best of Italian and Mexican culinary traditions in a vibrant, contemporary setting on Stranmillis Road. The restaurant's open kitchen design creates an engaging theatrical experience, allowing diners to witness the craft behind each dish. The interior balances modern elegance with a relaxed, welcoming vibe—ideal for everything from casual lunches with friends to special celebrations. The venue's location near the Lyric Theatre, Ulster Museum, and Botanic Gardens makes it a natural choice for pre-theatre dining or post-cultural activity meals.Culinary Creativity and Menu Diversity
The menu showcases contemporary European cooking with distinct Italian and Mexican accents. Small plates like Caprese Salad with buffalo mozzarella and pesto, alongside creative starters such as Crustacean Sensation (prawns in Marie Rose sauce on homemade parmesan soda bread), set the tone for the meal. Main courses range from golden Chicken Parm with tomato sauce and buffalo mozzarella to generously filled Baja Fish Tacos with slaw, salsa roja, and pickled onion. Signature items include the Double Chorizo Burger, Nduja Penne pasta, BBQ Pork Belly, and Honey Chilli Tender Stem Broccoli. Desserts maintain the same attention to detail—the Apple Crumble with ice cream and crème anglaise offers comfort, while the Affogato topped with amaretti biscuits delivers indulgence. Weekly specials keep the menu fresh and exciting.Cocktails and Libations
The bar program is equally impressive, featuring an exciting cocktail list with both classic and creative options. Signature drinks include variations of the Margarita (including a coconut version), Old Fashioned, and Spicy Margarita. The restaurant maintains a fully licensed bar with carefully curated wine selections to complement the diverse menu. Cocktail specials rotate weekly, encouraging repeat visits and experimentation.Service Excellence and Welcoming Hospitality
Staff members are consistently praised for their attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine warmth. The team excels at accommodating special occasions—whether birthday celebrations or post-theatre dining—without the rushed feeling that can accompany later bookings. Multiple staff members often attend to tables, ensuring drinks are refreshed and courses flow smoothly. The restaurant's philosophy centres on delivering "a big serving of the feel good factor" with every visit.Versatility for Every Occasion
Whether dropping in for a quick lunch, celebrating a milestone birthday, enjoying a pre-theatre dinner, or gathering with friends for casual drinks and food, Hendrix adapts to the occasion. The open-plan design and energetic atmosphere create an upbeat environment without sacrificing intimacy. Both indoor and terrace seating options provide flexibility for different preferences and weather conditions.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
