Aldens is a modern restaurant in an up and coming suburb of Belfast rated as one of Northern Ireland's finest restaurants receiving a wide range of awards and commendations from all the major guides. This award-winning restaurant embodies the essence of what people have come to expect from truly great dining... fantastic food served in a stylish, relaxed atmosphere. Situated 10 minutes from the city centre, on the way to Stormont, locals rub shoulders with politicians, media and civil servants as they come to taste Cath Gradwell's constantly evolving seasonal menus, specialising in the finest seafood, game and perfectly prepared classic dishes. The midweek set menu and lunch menus are of exceptional value. As Hardens Guide states Aldens remains probably the best destination for food in Belfast.
