A timeless menu for all to enjoy at Wynne & Pym, Ulster Museum

As if the Ulster Museum doesn’t have enough history to offer within its walls and glass cases, its Wynne & Pym café – named after the two architects who designed the museum, is now serving up a refreshed menu of timeless and local classics with a hint of international influence.

Open from 10am – 5pm Tuesday – Sunday, the contemporary café overlooks the scenic Botanic Gardens and is ideal for a little bit of respite after a busy afternoon of discovery next door. The café has a range of hot and cold foods ranging from freshly baked pastries to salads, soups and sausage rolls. Although this all sounds rather homely, it is the local produce that helps to elevate these dishes and make the café yet another foodie destination on the tourist trail and one Belfast can be proud of. Armagh apples, Comber potatoes, Belfast baps and Ballyrashane butter are just some stand-alone ingredients that are sure to delight locals and visitors alike.

These, alongside other well-known producers such as Bailies Roasted Coffee, Suki Tea, Hilden Brewery, Ballymaloe Relish, Ewings Seafood and more make for quite the eclectic menu. Whilst there are plenty of native favourites available; Traditional Irish Stew, Belfast Bap sandwiches and Irish Pork Sausage rolls, there is still plenty of menu items to inspire. A current array of Mediterranean salads for a light lunch and a more hearty spicy chickpea curry that sits on the same menu suggests Wynne & Pym are just getting started on their mission to provide museum goers and the discerning public with the very best of Belfast – and beyond.
