A look at the latest restaurants, hotels, pubs and bars to open their doors

Bullitt

The latest venture from the Belfast-based Beannchor Group, which is behind the Merchant hotel, Little Wing Pizzeria, National Grand Café and the Dirty Onion, is the £7m Bullitt Belfast, a new social hub for the city.

The hotel features three bars (including Baltic, a ski-themed bar), a courtyard garden, the Taylor & Clay restaurant, an espresso bar and a private events space. The hotel's concept involves ditching "over-the-top extras" to focus on service with no hidden costs. The Taylor & Clay restaurant menu is based around locally sourced produce, with each ingredient chosen from local farms and suppliers by the chefs, along with organic produce from the restaurant's own kitchen garden. At the heart of the Taylor & Clay kitchen is its bespoke Asador grill, which can char and smoke meat and seafood.

All rooms offer king-size beds, rain showers, Wi-Fi, smart TVs and a daily breakfast bag with orange juice, a granola pot and a piece of fruit. The Good Room, Bullitt's private event space, can hold up to 50 people theatre-style.
