One of Belfast's most exciting restaurants, Cayenne explodes with culinary fireworks. To wit, the duck and shiitake pot stickers with sesame ginger sauce or the salt 'n' chili squid with chili jam and aioli—and let's not forget the hot banana strudel. These are just a few of the creations of celebrity TV chefs Paul and Jeanne Rankin. They travel widely and have several other restaurants, but happily mastermind this Golden Mile spot. The cutting-edge fusion cuisine, always with that Asian twist, comes up winners with such other dishes as coconut-crusted cod, breast of duck with wild rice pancakes, and Donegal wild salmon with hazelnut beurre blanc. A favorite with theatergoers, Cayenne accepts orders until 11:15 on Friday and Saturday evenings.

I cannot fault this restaurant. My husband and I had a fabulous 3 course set dinner for just £20 a piece. Food was delicious and plentiful, waiting staff welcoming and service efficient and friendly. Highly recommended!

So disappointing. Slow, shoddy, inattentive service and the chef needs to have a look at what's on the plate before they send it out to their customers. Their mussels were practically non-existent and the prawn was inedible. Would never go back and would not recommend.
