Cayenne (Belfast)

...to write this for ages. Cayenne is NOT a vegetarian restaurant although vegetarians will find that there are a good number of interesting veggie choices in both starters and mains on the main menu. On the lunch-time menu there was one meat, one fish and one vegetarian option for both starters and mains. We were asked quite soon if we wanted to order drinks but the staff we happy to wait until we'd looked at the menu and chosen a wine to complement ...

Review of Cayenne (Belfast)

...ourselves to a meal in CAYENNE (formerly Roscoff's). Cayenne is situated at 7 Lesley House Shaftesbury Square, Belfast. Telephone number 028 90 331532. It has a cracker central location on Belfast’s Golden Mile. It was formerly the Roscoff's restaurant. The restaurant has not changed hands simply the owners Paul and Jeanne Rankin decided on a change of direction. Instead of the frumpy clinical dining for the great and the good, with their gold ...
...he cook! On entering Cayenne my first impressions were - very contemporary. Sitting at the bar come waiting area snacks such as mini popadoms, and spicy popcorn were available. In the restaurant area the lighting really struck me - gradually and subtly moving from red to orange and back. Frosted glass windows give diners privacy. The entire restaurant has an air of exclusiveness - yet it’s not pretentious. We were seated a large round table ...

Review of Cayenne (Belfast)

I went to Cayenne end of November 2007 with 4 work colleagues for dinner. Had a lovely night. Great surroundings, decor and well laid table. Bit dark in there though! Could have done with a torch to read the menu! Starters and main course were ab fab. We ALL enjoyed the meal. And the wine (x 4 bottles) - it was beautifully poured by an experienced waitress! No dribbles anywhere! And, we even got Paul Rankin to come out of the kitchen! So, all in all a lovely night in a great restaurant. Well done Cayenne and keep up the good work. ...

Review of Cayenne (Belfast)

...visit I decided to give Cayenne a second go. My mistake. Booked a table for 9pm on Sat 12th April 2008. Although there were many tables available my partner and I had to wait almost twenty minutes to be shown to our table. Starter of pork pot stickers was doughy but had good flavours. After waiting for well over thirty minutes after our starter was cleared, our waiter noticed we still didn't have our main courses (2 medium rare steaks). He came to ...
...being plated. When it came out the food on both plates was cold (steaks, mashed potatoes, shallots and sauce). The side order of chips were hot. A waitress took our plates and side order away. The same steaks etc came out one minute later still cold but on hot plates. The steak piece I had cut into was hidden under another slice. We had to ask for our side of chips and the same bowlful eventually came out but had started to go cold. We noticed the ...

Review of Cayenne (Belfast)

So disappointing. Don't their wait staff know that you do not leave customers sitting for 15 mins without giving them anything to drink. It's not that difficult to give a customer a glass of water. That set the tone for the night. Service was incredibly slow and shoddy and sub-standard. Given the amount of press this place seems to get I was very surprised at how poor it was. Must try a lot harder Would not recommend this restaurant ...
