The Members Dining Room in Belfast

Gorgeous vegan lunch, absolutely delighted with the choice of starter, main and desserts emailed to me on request. Lovely presentation, and perfect portion size. The food was full of flavour and reasonably priced. If I could suggest, a plant-based spread (Flora) is available when a vegan menu is offered, this is often overlooked. Otherwise, a lovely lunch in beautiful surroundings.

We love to visit The Members’ Dining Room on the first floor of Parliament Buildings, especially when it’s time to celebrate. The beautiful restaurant, with its floor to ceiling wood-panelled walls, sumptuous carpets, immaculately laid tables and panoramic views leading down from Stormont and sweeping up to the Castlereagh Hills, is the perfect venue to enjoy a special occasion. The chefs are committed to using only locally available fresh produce and ingredients, and there is also an excellent drinks list. To start, we had the Soup of the Day served with freshly baked bread, the Keenan’s Smoked Haddock Fishcakes with celeriac remoulade, shaved fennel salad and dill dressing, (which could also be served as a main course), an Autumn Salad of beetroot, goat’s cheese, bacon, balsamic and candied walnuts, and Curried Cauliflower Fritters with toasted almonds, pomegranate and lime dressing. Our main courses included a flaky Oven Baked Cod Fillet with basil, lemon and pepper crust, minted pea puree, triple cooked chips and a caper butter, and a plant-based Crispy Fried Tofu on pickled cabbage slaw, coriander noodles and peanut sauce. To finish, we had Warm Bramley Apple & Blackberry Crumble with Glastry Farm whiskey ice cream, Coconut and Sour Cherry Mousse with coconut sable biscuit, and The Parliament Buildings’ signature dessert, a delightful Iced Lime Parfait with Jawbox Gin syrup, honeycomb shard and raspberry dust. The Members’ Dining Room is open to the public between Monday – Friday, 12.00pm-3:00pm (except Public Holidays). And the three course lunch is exceptionally good value at just £29.50.

Fantastic Old Fashioned Lunch Style Experience.... with stunning views. We all had different starters, mains & desserts and all agreed it was lovely. Here for my Mum's special birthday. Thanks Bill :)

This is a beautiful restaurant. The food was superb and you couldn't fault the service. And the setting was perfect - our table was situated near the window looking at the long drive. Would definitely recommend and such good value for money. We combined with a tour so a really good day out.

Had the most beautiful three course meal here in beautiful surroundings. The staff were excellent and so professional. 5* treatment. We enjoyed every minute of our visit to this wonderful dining room. Can’t wait to return.
