French Elegance in the Heart of Belfast

Tucked inside the historic Cleaver House on Donegall Place, Parisien Brasserie brings a slice of Parisian sophistication to Belfast’s bustling city centre. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is one of understated glamour: polished brass details, soft lighting, and a palette of creams and greys create a refined yet welcoming space. Large windows frame sweeping views of Belfast City Hall, making every table feel connected to the city’s civic heart. Whether you’re here for a quick coffee, a long lunch, or a romantic dinner, Parisien’s design invites you to slow down and savour the moment.

Cuisine with a French Touch

Parisien’s menu celebrates classic French brasserie fare with a modern, approachable twist. Expect dishes like steak frites, duck confit, rich risottos, and pan-seared chicken, all prepared with care and attention to flavour. The brunch and afternoon tea offerings are particularly popular, combining indulgence with elegance. Seasonal specials and a well-curated wine list complement the food, while the bar crafts elegant cocktails and serves a range of spirits and non-alcoholic options. The kitchen’s focus on balance and quality makes it a go-to for both everyday dining and celebratory meals.

A Terrace with a View

One of Parisien’s standout features is its second-floor terrace, a stylish outdoor space that’s perfect for a cocktail reception or a relaxed drink with friends. From here, Belfast City Hall unfolds in all its grandeur, especially striking when lit up in the evening. The terrace is a favourite for pre-dinner drinks, weekend brunches, and private events, offering a rare combination of city views and open-air comfort. Even in cooler months, the terrace’s design and sheltered corners make it a pleasant spot to enjoy the cityscape.

Perfect for Every Occasion

Parisien is more than just a restaurant; it’s a versatile venue for a wide range of occasions. It works equally well as a romantic dinner spot, a place to catch up with friends over afternoon tea, or a stylish setting for a business lunch. The brasserie also hosts private events, including weddings and corporate functions, where its elegant interiors and central location shine. Live music on Sunday afternoons adds to the convivial atmosphere, making it a lively yet refined choice for a weekend outing in the city.
