Ace Restaurant Belmont Road

April 20, 2012 | Comments (0)

A new development sees the old Gourmet Burger Bar on the Belmont Road now become ACE restaurant. Gourmet Burger bar was of course, under the same ownership as Il Pirata in Ballyhackamore, so it seems that with Il Pirata a resounding success, it follows that the same formula will attract new diners to Ace on the Belmont Road . The old signage has been removed and Ace is now basically a black exterior with no obvious signage -  similar of course to Il Pirata.

Some refurbishment has taken place inside the restaurant with a lean towards the same ‘shabby chic’ style of Il Pirata. Recognisable as the old Gourmet Burger Bar interior, but with a new cool decor.

The menu has changed considerably, out goes the predominantly burger orientated menu and in its place, a menu, again similar in parts to Il Pirata.  All day brunch, looks very appetising -  with a choice of Porridge, Honey and roast banana or pancakes with crispy bacon and maple syrup.  The ‘small plates’ , popular at Il Pirata, have also been introduced at Ace.

Burgers and sandwiches are still on the menu, with a lesser choice of burgers, but a clever new addition of ‘dogs and sliders’  Dogs of course, being a very popular american food.  There is an exciting range of yumpy looking ‘dog meals’.

All in all, an extensive and innovative menu and definitely one for you to try at the next opportunity!

Gourmet Burger Bank Belmont Road

March 4, 2010 | Comments (5)

update -  now renamed Ace restaurant -  click here for details

Ballyhackamores ‘sister’ community- Belmont road,  is also the host for a number of fine eating establishments. Not least of these is the innovative Gourmet Burger Bank.  Granted, there have been a few gourmet type burger restaurants that have opned in the city recently, but its probably fair to say that the Gourmet Burger Bank led the way.

Situated on the Belmont road in east Belfast, Gourmet Burger is an interesting restaurant in a converted former Ulster Bank building.  Big chunky wooden tables, great deserts and a huge menu of  virtually any kind of  burger you can think of!  Big juicy homemade burgers, homemade chips and coleslaw provide a mouth watering  vision, when you are in the mood for a burger.  Forget about the big M -  these are the real mccoy when it comes to the ever popular burger!

The company have since opened another restaurant in the malone area of Belfast. But if you are local to belmont/Ballyhackamore, you definately should give this place a try.
