With an amazing array of cheap restaurants that serve up delicious food, Belfast is the place to be for anyone on tight budget. Who would have thought it? A Hollywood star caught up in a messy scandal, now lending his weighty name to a successful chain of American diners. That's the story behind Fatty Arbuckle's. Well, as the saying goes, "if it happens in California it's only a matter of time before it happens here". So here it is. It is ideal for family dining as it specializes in no-nonsense American fare -- burgers, fries, large salads. Just expect enormous portions.
No frills at the Mad Hatter, just well-prepared meals and a friendly atmosphere. There's an extensive breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea menu to choose from, with breakfast served all day -- always a popular choice as a hangover remedy with the many students who live in this area. Mad Hatter may not offer anything wildly unusual, but everything you get here is fresh and well prepared, which explains its mention in the Taste of Ulster eatery guide to Northern Ireland.
Set where the Taj Mahal Indian restaurant used to be, Imperial City is a new addition to the long list of Chinese restaurants in Belfast, and is already resisting stiff competition. The choice of dishes is diverse, with many traditional favorites. From restaurants that serve local fare to All-American diners to Chinese food joints, Belfast is full of inexpensive eateries that will satisfy the stomach without draining the wallet.
