Stix & Stones
Belfast's Premier Steak & Seafood Restaurant
About
Opened in May 2014, Stix & Stones is Ireland's Premier Steak & Seafood restaurant located in Belfast’s Upper Queen Street.
Providing diners with a delicious selection of local steak and seafood we offer the unique experience of being able to cook steaks on hot stones in beautiful surroundings. All steaks are dry aged to ensure only the finest taste. So why not come and try the world famous ‘Steak on a Stone’ eating experience.
One of the Oldest Cooking Methods in the World!
Cooking on hot rocks or stone is one of the oldest methods of cooking. By cooking on pre-heated hot stones (heated to 450 degrees) it helps keep every mouthful tender and succulent.
We use a special cooking technique before serving our meat and the natural theatre of the method, combined with the purity of taste and health benefits of using minimal oil and no fats ensures that the diner has an unforgettable experience time after time.
Our Ethos
Specialising in steak and seafood, the ethos of our restaurant is sourcing the 'finest quality food locally'. We source ingredients for all our dishes from local suppliers and work exclusively with Irish farmers for premium beef. In fact, every steak sold in our restaurant comes from our very own Stix & Stones Butchery (find out more here). Organic, free range and artisan producers are reviewed on a regular basis, with our own chefs inspecting off-site premises to find the very best ingredients.
Cooking on the stone adds a fun sharing element to your dining experience. Whether you are dining with friends, family or colleagues, Stix and Stones is the perfect choice for quality food in a great atmosphere.
Stix & Stones Signature Experience
Sourced from local farmers, each signature cut is offered in a mouth-watering 1kg choice of either;
Tomahawk or Côte de Boeuf.
Starting with the selection process, the excitement begins, as your steak is hung in our very own ‘dry ager’ for your chosen period of time (from 28 to 60 days) all to enhance the flavour.
Upon arrival at Stix & Stones you will be greeted by the manager who will provide a little more detail on your personally addressed cut. Once served you’ll experience a taste sensation which has made these steaks world renowned. Take the time to enjoy the full flavour, texture and complexity of your signature steak, cooked to your liking on our signature hot stone. An experience unlike any other.
We recommend
