Cayenne is the jewel in the crown of Belfast’s Shaftesbury Square. Pioneered by Paul & Jeanne Rankin, Cayenne would be equally at home on the streets of London or New York. A funky avant-garde interior is complemented by an eclectic menu that brings to life Paul and Jeanne Rankin’s global culinary experiences. The freshness and lightness of the menu sits well in the modern surroundings with signature dishes such as Salt ‘n’ Chilli Squid with chilli jam and aioli; Chinese red roast duck with udon noodles, bok choy, shaohsing and ginger dressing; soft centred chocolate cake with burnt orange ice cream. The regular clientele have their favourites that can never be removed from the menu!

Lunch: Tues - Fri 12.00 - 2.15pm, 7 nights per week dinner from 5pm - late (Sat 6pm)

Cayenne has been placed as one of the UK’s 'best restaurants' by the Observer Food Monthly magazine.

"The atmosphere in Paul and Jeanne Rankin's restaurant is just as hot and modern as the menu, which includes roast rump of venison with porcini rosti, wild mushrooms and sun-dried cranberries."
