About
We are Belfast Flavours
We are an industry-led network of food and drink professionals who celebrate what makes our food scene special - our people, our produce, our places - and work together to grow a sustainable, connected, and globally recognised food and drink identity for our city.
We are proud to support local producers, champion sustainability, and showcase Belfast’s unique culture through unforgettable food and drink experiences.
Our Story
Established by Belfast City Council as part of its ten-year tourism plan, Make Yourself at Home, Belfast Flavours is now in its third year. Our network is built on the understanding that food and drink are not just part of the visitor experience — they are central to it. From local producers to celebrated chefs, our members help shape the taste and reputation of the city.
We exist to bring the sector together — to collaborate, share, and grow. With a strong focus on sustainability, innovation, and storytelling, we’re helping to elevate Belfast’s food and drink scene for visitors and locals alike.
Our Mission
