Belfast as a market
Belfast eats by quarter and drinks in the entries
Belfast's trade runs by quarter, and each has its own evening. The Cathedral Quarter is the entries off Donegall Street and Hill Street, the bars, the music and the restaurants that fill from Thursday; the Linen Quarter is the offices, the hotels and St George's Market from Friday to Sunday; the Titanic Quarter is the slipways, the museum, the arena nights and the hotel trade by the water; the Queen's Quarter is Botanic Avenue, Stranmillis and the students in term; the Ormeau Road is the neighbourhood restaurants and coffee rooms the south of the city keeps to itself; and the Lisburn Road and Ballyhackamore are the brunch, the delis and the family dinners of the suburbs. Two airports, the arena, Windsor Park and the university set the calendar, and the city centre's weekday lunch lives on the offices and the civil service.
- Who eats where
- Restaurants and bars in the entries of the Cathedral Quarter, hotel dining rooms and office-lunch cafés in the Linen Quarter, the stalls and the Saturday crowd at St George's Market, waterside restaurants and arena-night bars in the Titanic Quarter, cafés, student bars and late kitchens on Botanic Avenue, neighbourhood restaurants and coffee rooms on the Ormeau Road, brunch rooms, delis and wine bars on the Lisburn Road and in Ballyhackamore, the pubs below Windsor Park on match days, and the tea rooms and bakeries the city has kept.
- When
- Thursday to Saturday nights in the Cathedral Quarter, Friday to Sunday at St George's Market, Saturday brunch on the Lisburn Road and the Ormeau Road, Sunday lunch in Ballyhackamore, arena nights by the water, international nights at Windsor Park, the students' terms around Botanic, Culture Night in September, the International Arts Festival in the autumn, the Christmas market at City Hall, and the quiet fortnight in July when the city empties for the holidays.
- Getting there
- Lanyon Place and Grand Central bring the trains from Dublin, Derry and the coast, George Best City Airport is ten minutes from the Titanic Quarter and brings London in an hour, the International Airport brings Europe, the Glider runs east to west across the city, buses run everywhere else, and the M1 and the M2 bring the car trade from the whole of the north.
What a Belfast restaurant website has to do
Say which quarter
A search for dinner in Belfast could mean the Cathedral Quarter, the Lisburn Road, Botanic or the Ormeau Road, and they are different evenings and different money.
Arena and match nights are a sitting of their own
An arena night in the Titanic Quarter and an international at Windsor Park bring a crowd that eats early, drinks after and leaves on a timetable.
The market weekend starts on Friday
St George's Market brings the Linen Quarter its crowd from Friday morning to Sunday afternoon, and the crowd checks the phone for where to sit down afterwards.
Rank for Belfast, by quarter and by road
Searches name the Cathedral Quarter, the Lisburn Road, Botanic and Ballyhackamore more often than the city.
What we do, how we do it, what you get
Built from the kitchen outwards by someone who has run one
EDC's founder spent twenty years running hospitality operations before founding the consultancy in June 2024. A Belfast site starts with the menu, the sittings and the margin, and only then with the design that sells them in the Cathedral Quarter or on the Lisburn Road.
On the floor
- Menu and marginThe menu costed line by line and priced against your margin before it is designed.
- Service flowSittings, turn times and the arena-night plan decided before the booking system is switched on.
- Allergens and specsAn allergen matrix and recipe spec sheets the kitchen works from and the website can quote.
- Team and standardsOpening checklists and service standards written for the people who will run the room on a Saturday.
On the screen
- The websiteMobile first, fast on a phone between the Glider stop and the door, a menu Google can read, the table bookable in two taps.
- Local searchThe Google Business Profile corrected to the quarter and the street, listings matched to it, reviews answered.
- BrandA logo, palette, type, menus and signage files that look the same on the door, the table and the phone.
- Email and socialA customer email system and a social plan that say what is on this week, kept current by someone who knows the kitchen.
- A written scopeMapped to a figure on the pricing page before anything is built
- A site you ownOn your own domain, with the files and the logins

Questions people ask
Web design in Belfast: the questions people ask
How much does web design cost in Belfast?
The same as anywhere EDC works. Website – Starter is £1,650, Website – Pro £2,950, Website – Standard £5,800 and Website – Premium £6,500, one-off figures in pounds. The pricing page lists what each includes. Local SEO is separate, from £850 per month.
Do you design websites for businesses in Belfast other than restaurants?
EDC builds for the food and drink trade: restaurants, cafés, bars, pubs, coffee rooms, bakeries and delis. A site for a Cathedral Quarter bar or a Lisburn Road brunch room is built by someone who has run one.
Who designs restaurant websites in Belfast?
Epicurean Digital Consultants, based in Wimbledon in London and working in Belfast by plane and by video call, founded in June 2024 by Ali Solak after twenty years running hospitality operations. You deal with Ali directly, not an account manager.
Do you cover the Lisburn Road, the Ormeau Road and east Belfast as well as the centre?
Yes. The Lisburn Road, the Ormeau Road, Ballyhackamore, Stranmillis and the Titanic Quarter are part of the same trade as the Cathedral Quarter, and the local search work names the quarter and the road as well as the city, so the right people find the door.
Do you need to visit the restaurant?
One visit is usual at the start, to see the room, the kitchen and the walk from the stop or the car park; the rest is by video call and email. Belfast is an hour from London by air and the City Airport is ten minutes from the centre, so a visit is a day, not a week.
How long does a restaurant website take?
A Starter site is usually live within a few weeks of the written scope; a Standard or Premium site with menus, booking and local search set-up takes longer. The scope gives the date before anything is built.
Where this page's design comes from
Orbital, one of the concept sites in the Web Portfolios
This page shares that demo's scroll journey: a page you travel through, the scroll as the camera, here down a slipway to the water under the gantries. It is a concept site with a fictional brand, built to show what a site can feel like; it is not a client and no business on it is real.
A website that knows the Cathedral Quarter from the Lisburn Road and an arena night from a market Saturday
