Cuisine irlandaise traditionnelle à Belfast

Le "The Morning Star Bar & Restaurant" à Belfast, en Irlande du Nord, est un établissement historique qui existe depuis 1810 et qui s'est fait un nom en tant que l'une des plus anciennes et des plus traditionnelles tavernes de la ville. À l'origine fondé comme une halte pour les cochers sur la route entre Belfast et Dublin, il s'est au fil des siècles transformé en un lieu de rencontre prisé des habitants et des visiteurs. Aujourd'hui, il est dirigé par la famille McAlister, qui a pris les rênes en 1988 et qui préserve l'héritage avec beaucoup de dévouement. Le restaurant allie avec habileté l'atmosphère d'un pub irlandais traditionnel à une offre gastronomique moderne, mettant l'accent sur des ingrédients locaux et durables.

L'ambiance au "The Morning Star" est unique et empreinte d'histoire. Le bâtiment, situé dans une étroite ruelle pavée, a été soigneusement restauré pour conserver son charme victorien - notamment grâce à la remarquable enseigne en fer forgé, richement ornée, qui surplombe l'entrée. À l'intérieur, on trouve une atmosphère chaleureuse et accueillante, avec des accents en bois et une touche de nostalgie qui rappelle l'époque où l'établissement était encore éclairé à la lampe à gaz. C'est un lieu qui dégage à la fois confort et vitalité, surtout lors des journées où la maison est pleine et où les invités peuvent profiter de la célèbre hospitalité des McAlister.

Restaurant historique à Belfast

Sur le plan culinaire, le "The Morning Star" représente une philosophie de "la ferme à la fourchette", centrée sur le lien avec l'agriculture nord-irlandaise. La famille, qui est engagée dans l'agriculture depuis des générations, se procure de nombreux ingrédients directement de sa propre ferme ou chez des producteurs locaux. Elle est particulièrement fière de ses steaks, considérés comme les meilleurs de Belfast - comme le juteux ribeye ou l'impressionnant steak Tomahawk, préparé par un maître boucher de la maison. La cuisine propose également d'autres délices : le "Lamb Stew" est un plat copieux qui séduit par ses saveurs profondes et sa viande tendre, tandis que les "Tempura Courgette Frites" apportent une note moderne avec leur croustillant léger. Même les accompagnements tels que les "Sweet Potato Fries" faites maison ou le pain frais du "Morning Star Kitchen Garden" reflètent le soin apporté à chaque détail.

Ingrédients locaux dans le restaurant

En plus de la nourriture, le "The Morning Star" est également connu pour sa sélection de boissons. Le bar offre une impressionnante gamme de whiskys irlandais, parfaitement assortis aux plats copieux, ainsi que des bières artisanales locales et des cocktails classiques. En particulier, le rôti du dimanche a une réputation légendaire et a même été mentionné parmi les meilleurs du Royaume-Uni - un repas copieux servi avec de la viande parfaitement cuite, des légumes en abondance et une sauce savoureuse.

Hospitalité authentique à Belfast

Le service est souvent décrit comme chaleureux et authentique, ce qui souligne le caractère familial de l'établissement. Le personnel, qui partage la passion des McAlister, veille à ce que les invités se sentent comme faisant partie d'une grande communauté. Le restaurant a reçu de nombreux prix, dont plusieurs titres de meilleur gastro-pub de la région, ce qui renforce sa position en tant que point fort culinaire à Belfast.

Carvery is cheap but really not eatable and very minimal choice. Staff on the buffet didn't look like he wanted to be there and had zero customer service skills

We stumbled upon The Morning Star after two other pubs were too busy to take us, and we are glad we did. The atmosphere and service were immediately impressive. The food, which came quickly, was delicious and far beyond our expectations for pub food. Tasty options for both meat eater and vegetarian. We would highly, highly recommend this pub.

Lovely pub in Belfast, excellent service throughout with phenomenal food. Prices slightly higher than other places nearby but 100% worth the difference, would happily pay more for the quality of food.

If you like being ignored three times, then yes. If you are a person who likes to go to the bar and ask for everything because the waitress ignores you and you asked for a menu and still get ignored, then this is your bar! The food was buffet so ok. You get what you stand for. The ambience is really nice but the tables are a bit sticky. Toilets ok

The worst fish and chips I've had the displeasure of eating. It was clearly overcooked and tasted disgusting. It looked like a burnt croissant that had been plopped on top of the last few chips that had been scraped out of the engine oil they cooked it in. It was difficult to eat the "fish" when it's balanced on top of the chips while half the plate is covered with a streak of tartar sauce. I can't believe they had the gall to serve this. Maybe skip this if you eat here.

First time in the Morning Star which was recommended to us, first impressions were the staff who were very attentive and let us choose a table of our choice which we thought was nice, then the food it was absolutely beautiful we had a sharing platter to start and then 2 steaks which were cooked to perfection I can only recommend that you go and try this restaurant/bar out as I will be recommending it to to my friends and colleagues. The staff were brilliant all night and there was no rush and a nice quiet atmosphere, we will be back for a steak soon!!!!

Always knew of the Morning start and always thought of it as a wee pub down joys entry!! Hubby decided to eat here for my birthday and honestly it is a hidden gem!! The food was absolutely outstanding, the shared starter was amazing it was a meal in itself, the flavours, the staff, the atmosphere was just perfect and very welcoming. The bar man even brought 2 different bottles of wine over for us to try before we decided. Nothing was too much bother. Will definitely be back.

We both had the roast beef. Food was delicious but portion size was very small for the price paid. £17 for the roast beef was very steep for the size of portion we got. Only half a carrot and no other vegetables! Food was also quite cold which was disappointing. They also charge £1.50 for dilute which I just can’t digest! Don’t think I would recommend, there is better value elsewhere around the city.

We visited this place twice for food during our stay. Nice bar with a good atmosphere. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. The waiter on our first visit was very attentive and provided great service however the second visit the waitress was not so attentive. We had to ask to order food after waiting a while. she also forgot the drinks order and had to be reminded which was a bit disappointing after having such a great experience first time around.

Came across this place in a myriad of options locally. What a find ! Initially only for a drunk but then decided to eat..was looking at menu which looked reasonable. We also noted the hit food counter and my wife asked more. Basically a great option of multiple foods at a great price of £8. Only xatch was this food ended at 17.00 but we snuck in! Amazing value and honest food. Staff were all freindly and accommodating. We arrived as strangers but left feeling like freinds. Having since seen other reviews I would honestly say this is definitely worth a visit..

Busy old style bar and eatery. A bit of a gem retaining style of yesteryear. Didn't eat but the food looked excellent.
