We really enjoyed our experience of Afternoon Tea at the Titanic Hotel. The staff were friendly and attentive and put us at our ease. The food was delicious and the endless hot drinks were very much enjoyed. The pianist added to the relaxed atmosphere of the day. It was my daughter’s 16th birthday and she was made to feel very special by the staff. Overall we had a really lovely day with very happy memories made ☺️

Yardbird is our rotisserie chicken restaurant upstairs above The Dirty Onion. Our menu is small but our flavours are big. Ok, we do chicken, but our chicken is famous!

Our local free-to-roam chicken is marinated for 24 hours in lemon, buttermilk, and paprika. It is then dry-rubbed, cooked and blast-chilled to keep it juicy and finally roasted on the spit. Ribs and wings are also available, as are a choice of sides and homemade desserts. Hungry yet?

We prepare all our food in-house and service is fast!

Belfast

About the restaurant

We founded Pizza on the Square out of a deep love for real food, for food that is fresh and authentic.

The restaurant offers a range of pizzas, cocktails and fine wines.

Pizza on the Square is located right beside Belfast City Hall at 1 Donegall Square West. You literally can’t get any more central than that. The Scottish Provident Building is a stone's throw from the city's key bus and train networks.

The service was fantastic and the quality of the food was excellent. The surprise dessert for my son’s birthday was an unexpected surprise. A little pricey but a very enjoyable night.
