The menus at Parisien are inspired by classic French brasserie dining, offering something for every part of the day – from relaxed breakfasts and brunches to leisurely lunches and early evening meals. During our visit, we enjoyed the Pain Perdu with crème brûlée and mixed berries, while the Eggs Royal – toasted muffin with smoked salmon, poached eggs and hollandaise – was equally impressive. Both dishes were beautifully presented, full of flavour and served with the same care and attention that defines the Parisien experience.
The restaurant is bright, elegant and always buzzing with activity, drawing locals and visitors alike. Staff are friendly, professional and confident in guiding guests through the menu, creating an easy and enjoyable dining experience no matter how busy it gets.
Menus highlight the best of Irish produce within a French-style setting, supported by an extensive list of wines, beers and cocktails from across the world. Whether it’s a quick coffee, afternoon tea or a meal on the terrace overlooking City Hall, Parisien captures the charm of café culture with a refined Belfast touch – a perfect fit for upmarket casual dining within the Galgorm Collection.
