Take one award-winning chef, in the hottest arts venue in Northern Ireland, add in some locally produced craft beer tasting, a selection of fine wines and a master class into making the best coffee in Belfast – and what do you get?
Canteen at the MAC’s ultimate celebration of Belfast Restaurant Week.
Saturday 4th October will see the multi award-winning restaurant, located in the heart of the MAC kick-off a bountiful weeklong series of food and drink events to rival any in the city.

Sharon Wright, director JRS Catering, explains: “With Belfast Restaurant Week just around the corner, we wanted to ensure our offering really celebrates all that is good about Northern Ireland food and drink.
“Saturday 4th October will kick start the week with our Craft Beer & Cider Tasting event which allows guests to sample the very best of these brews alongside some well matched food bites.
“On Saturday 11th October, we will be holding our ever-popular Coffee Brew Bar Masterclass which allows extensive coffee tasting allowing guests to discover brewing methods from the experts.
“And the absolute pinnacle of our Belfast Restaurant Week celebrations will be our extra special Art of Food & Wine night, held on Thursday 9th October where Sean McCann, Head Chef at Canteen alongside award-winning guest chef, Joery Castel will cook up a culinary storm.
“We are very excited to have Joery at this event, who is head chef and owner at The Boat House, Bangor and has a whole host of accolades under his belt, including winning the Best chef in Ulster 2012 and Best chef in Co Down from 2011 – 2014 by the Restaurant Association of Ireland (RAI).”

Sharon concluded, “All in all, we have a full schedule which we hope will help celebrate our wonderful array of produce, all sourced from Northern Ireland. Places are booking up really fast, so I encourage anyone interested to book as soon as possible.”
