Bottomless brunch seems to be the ‘it’ thing to do at the moment and Belfast has no shortage of spots to tickle your fancy.
A new player in the Sunday brunch game is Parisien in the heart of the city centre - one of those spots I’ve always said I wanted to try. This was the perfect way to check it out.
Before a Prosecco even touched our lips, Parisien’s location and views started off our visit on an impressive note.

Belfast City Hall never ceases to make me stop and stare. The view of the grounds from the first floor were insane - I could easily see me coming back to simply people watch on the terrace space in the summer.
Parisien has a very cool and relaxed vibe, very reflective of the Galgorm’s distinct style, but smack in the middle of the busiest part of the city.
The brunch menu includes one food plate and six drinks for £45. Many brunches only offer Prosecco and after three glasses, I am needing a break but being able to chose between wine, beer and cocktails is something I really appreciate.
Food wise, I ordered the eggs royale (my usual brunch order) and my friend ordered the Shakshuka baked eggs which came with spicy tomato sauce, roasted peppers, crumbed feta and sourdough.
Service was fast and the staff were very attentive which is always needed for a bottomless brunch, they made sure that we were going to get our six cocktails in the two hour period - shout out to Monika who came with the best recommendations for cocktails!
My eggs royale were as aesthetically pleasing as they were tasty - both meals were absolutely massive and definitely lined our stomach for our cocktails.
My meal came with two toasted muffins, hollandaise sauce, perfectly runny eggs and these little salmon roulades. It was the perfect combination of sweet and salty and was washed down exceptionally well with my second drink of the day, a bramble.
Sarah’s baked eggs were something that I wouldn’t be as adventurous to order myself but after sneaking a forkful (or a few) I was pleasantly surprised. Thoroughly enjoying every bite of the spiced crumbled feta combined with the eggs on the sourdough, she actually struggled finish the massive portion.
For our six drinks, we both had a glass of Prosecco, brambles, mimosas, cosmos and then I had two margaritas and Sarah doubled up on some of the others we tried - to have the option to have six cocktails in Belfast city centre for less than £50 is serous value for money and that’s even without the food.
Bottomless brunches are the perfect idea for hen parties, birthdays or a boozey Sunday catch up and Parisien’s menu is no doubt going to absolutely take off - the location alone makes it a stand out from other places in the city.
I will be back for sure, I mean views, cocktails and food - you can’t go wrong!
