It may have commanded less of the conversation having opened late last year within a cluster of high profile new restaurants in the city — from maximalist Italian dining rooms to contemporary rooftop bars — but is a welcome addition to the city’s burgeoning smorgasbord of South American spots
CV is Peruvian-inspired so all ají Amarillo, pisco and leche de tigre and while fantastic pisco sours and ceviche kick it off it soon loses vigour…

Alongside the incomparable Caroline we compiled a couple of top spots to check out in Belfast for a few months back!
From long standing staples to new additions to the city, street food to Michelin-starred, a handful of top pubs to check out and where to check into for a memorable stay — this is the kind of three day itinerary we would send to someone visiting the city for the first time❣️

💚 AD GIFTED | We’re giving you the chance to win a two-night stay in one of the two luxury Botháns cabins tucked stunningly into the Keenaght hills surrounded by forest and overlooking the North Atlantic
These pair of cabins are seriously luxe — all the benefits of off grid and switching off with the creature comforts and mod cons - because why not?? We stayed in the larger one, Lír View, which sleeps two adults in a king-size bed and up to three children in a gorgeous bunk bed room. The Hideaway is slightly smaller but just as perfectly formed, gorgeously overlooking the pond
Roast smores at the fire pit, take a dip in the Hikki wood-fired bathtub, screen a movie on the projector and pop a log on the indoor stove to get cosy… grab coffee nearby at Sea Shed or hop in the car and explore Coleraine, Portrush and Portstewart nearby, this is a breathtaking part of Northern Ireland full of scenery, food and epic coastal drives ✨

Gooey, garlic-studded, a splash of white wine, bake and apply to face. If you see this in your cheesemongers, get it and you will know how to bake it.
Airfryer instructions in the reel but you can also bake in a 180°C oven for 20-25 minutes.
Tuck into it with a crusty baguette, cornichons and crispy potatoes. Pure bliss 🤤
