A Belfast restaurant has been added to the Michelin Guide for February 2023 less than a year since its opening.
'The Michelin Inspectors' Favourite New Restaurants' list recognises the best up-and-coming spots across the UK and Ireland that boast great variety and come in all different styles but all united by one thing - great cooking.
Of the 37 new additions to the guide this month, only one Northern Irish spots earned a place on the coveted recommendations list.

Waterman Restaurant in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter is the newest restaurant in the country to be added to the guide, having been described as "big, bold and buzzy".
Waterman opened in summer 2022 and markets itself as a no frills restaurant serving classic European fayre in the city.
The restaurant is owned and operated by award-winning chef Niall McKenna - the name behind the popular James Street South.
Waterman's kitchen is headed up by Aaron McNeice who is the first real apprentice Niall employed back in 2012 in James Street South.
Their social media reads: "The look is contemporary, the food is fresh, tasty and local.
"The wine list is small and from European vineyards.
"A monthly local beer and gin will be on the menu and will be changeable."
