Nick's Warehouse

Nick's Warehouse Review

Ever since 1989, the energetic Nick Price has presided over a cozy wine bar and buzz-filled restaurant on a narrow cobbled street in Cathedral Quarter. The informal ground-floor Anix restaurant is frequented by legal, financial, and media types for lunch. Using local ingredients and produce, the menu draws on a wide range of influences in dishes ranging from fillet of sea bass with fennel to rump of lamb with Boulangère potatoes. Leave room for a luxury dessert—the Kilbeggan Irish whiskey ice cream made from pedigree herds on Glastry Farm in Kircubbin was good enough for Hillary Clinton when she visited the Titanic Belfast visitor center. The upstairs restaurant, which serves private dinner parties on Saturday night, was refurbished in 2012. It has a different persona and a more expensive menu to go with it. Even the bread is made on the premises: a pastry chef bakes wonderful soda, wheaten, and whole-grain breads.
