Novelli At City Quays - Belfast

I recently stayed at the Marriott hotel, which offers this restaurant as part of their room service for guests. After a long flight from Asia, I decided to try out a variety of vegan options from the menu and I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious they were.

I have dined at this restaurant twice and have tried everything on their three-course vegan menu, which offers two options for each course. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. The menu seems to change periodically, which is a nice touch. The atmosphere is pleasant, with cloth napkins, candles, attentive staff, and good options for both omnivores and vegans. It's unfortunate that the vegan menu is not automatically provided, as I had to request it both times, despite mentioning it in my online reservation. The dishes are packed with fruits and vegetables, rather than relying on meat substitutes. Be mindful of the 10% service charge, especially when splitting the bill. As of February 2022, the vegan menu is no longer available. We were offered a limited selection of vegan dishes, such as vegan meatballs and Patatas bravas. Despite the changes, the meal was satisfactory and the waterfront location was lovely. Overall, a good spot for a group with mixed dietary preferences.

I would have given this restaurant 2.5 stars if I could. It was just okay for me since I was with a group of meat-eaters, but I wouldn't choose to come here on my own. I had a bit of trouble with one staff member who didn't understand my request and initially refused to make changes, but the manager stepped in to help. In the end, I ended up with an £11.45 salad, which was just okay. Overall, I wasn't thrilled with my experience.

Would have given 2.5 if there was an option. that was good for me, as I was in a group of all-eaters, but I didn't want to come here specifically. somehow had to fight with a worker who didn't understand what I wanted and refused to make adjustments, but then the manager helped. at the end I got a £11.45 salat so not overly happy, but it was enough.
