Review on Armagh City Hotel, Friary Restaurant

Set in the purpose-built Armagh City Hotel (which boasts the largest hotel conference facilities in Northern Ireland), the intimate Friary Restaurant makes the perfect spot for business dining or private celebrations.

Menus change with the seasons: in summer – for example – you might be treated to refreshing chilled watermelon soup with Armagh apple sorbet and mint yoghurt, poached chicken breast with spaghetti of vegetables and salsa verde or grilled Dover sole with salad niçoise and saffron sauce,

Carvery lunches are served throughout the week in the Callan Lounge (with the option of sitting in the Friary dining room) and a Bistro operates on Sundays from 6.00-9.00pm.
