French Village Patisserie & Brasserie

Top choice in Belfast


There's an air of sophistication at this excellent brasserie, serving plates like salmon nicoise and pea and shallot ravioli; the home-baked breads are worth the trip here alone. Lunch like an elegant Parisian before hitting Lisburn Rd's boutiques. Be sure to stop at the patisserie counter to pick up pastries and cakes to go.
