Fourteen restaurants from across Northern Ireland have been listed in the 2020 Good Food Guide.
The top scoring restaurant in Northern Ireland for this year's guide is OX, whilst newbie Six by Nico is also listed in the latest guide.
Speaking about OX, Elizabeth Carter, Waitrose Good Food Guide Editor, said: “Stephen Toman’s place occupies snug but stylish premises overlooking the river Lagan, with Andy Scott’s Beacon of Hope sculpture just outside.
"A little creative redesign has exposed the kitchen to public view, but otherwise OX is in a powerfully steady state, producing seasonally informed, imaginative tasting menus that concentrate on seducing the palate as well as the eye. Here, seasons aren’t defined as quarterly but weekly, emphasising the care that goes into sourcing.”
