Breakfast: Ulster fry — a heroic plate featuring soda bread, potato bread, and moral dilemmas about second helpings.
Coffee: Belfast takes coffee seriously. If your flat white arrives suspiciously fast, check if you accidentally ordered a cappuccino.
Lunch: Soup + wheaten bread — because carbs deserve a friend.
Dinner: Fresh seafood by the lough or something spicy in the Cathedral Quarter. If a menu says “wee,” it might still defeat you.
Pubs: Expect live music, friendly chats, and at least one person who knows your cousin’s neighbour’s dog. Small world.
Sweet things: Fifteens (biscuits + marshmallows + cherries = happiness). Don’t ask why they’re called fifteens unless you’re ready for three different answers.
