The Morning Star

The Morning Star Award Winning Pub & Restaurant Est.1810
In House Butcher & Kitchen Garden Another great rarity is the Winged Lion of St Mark sitting proudly on the corner.

Located in a romantic old entry running between Ann Street and High Street, the Morning Star is easily identified by the superb Victorian sign handing from a grandly exuberant iron bracket jutting out from the corner of the bar, it’s one of the finest examples of its type to be found anywhere in Ireland. Our building is historically listed and can trace its history back to 1810 when it was mention

ed in the Belfast Newsletter as being one of the terminals for the Belfast to Dublin Mail Coach. The downstairs bar has its original mahogany counter with its old terrazzo floor. The Morning Star is a must for anyone anxious to see “a living museum piece of old Belfast”. We offer ‘real food’, prepared and served by professional staff. The menu enclosed is a small representation of what we offer from our kitchen daily. We prepare our meals from produce sourced locally using the best of our supplier and growers. We specialise in fresh local produce, fresh fish and seasonal vegetables. Our beef and steaks are all from Quality Assured stock. We cook only in butter, olive oil or low cholesterol vegetable oil and use only free range eggs. We are included in the following publications; Taste of Ulster Guide, Bridgestone Ireland Good Food, Let’s Go Britain/Ireland, Georgina Campbell’s Pubs of Ireland, Best 100 Pubs in Ireland, The Rough Guides, Winner of British Airways Tourism Award, Chairman’s Award Best Pub Food, Shortlisted for the All Ireland Seafood Pub
