Avenue 22 Bar & Restaurant is the main dining venue at the Clayton Hotel Belfast, located on Ormeau Avenue in the Linen Quarter, one of the city’s most vibrant and rapidly developing districts. The area is known for its mix of theatres, offices, hotels and cultural venues, including the Grand Opera House and Ulster Hall, both just a short walk away. Its central position places Avenue 22 within easy reach of Belfast City Hall, the main shopping streets and key transport links, making it a convenient choice for hotel guests, business travellers and local diners alike.
The restaurant occupies a bright, contemporary space within the hotel, designed with clean lines, warm tones and a relaxed, modern feel. Large windows bring in natural light during the day, while softer lighting in the evening creates a comfortable setting suited to both casual meals and more formal dining. The adjoining bar area offers additional seating for drinks, light bites and informal gatherings.
The menu focuses on modern Irish and European cuisine, prepared using locally sourced ingredients where possible. Diners can expect a varied selection of starters, mains and desserts, with dishes that highlight regional produce. Typical offerings include seasonal soups, seafood plates, steaks, burgers, chicken dishes and vegetarian options, alongside daily specials that reflect the availability of fresh ingredients. The kitchen aims to balance familiar comfort dishes with more contemporary plates, appealing to a broad range of tastes.
Desserts feature classic favourites such as cheesecake, chocolate dishes and fruit-led options, while the drinks list includes wines, beers, spirits and cocktails, making the bar a popular spot for pre-dinner drinks or relaxed evenings.
With its central Belfast location, approachable menu and modern setting, Avenue 22 Bar & Restaurant offers a reliable and welcoming dining experience in the heart of the Linen Quarter.
