Steak topped with prawns, chips and salad at Armadillo’s Belfast

Armadillo's Belfast is the Main North Road branch of the South Island restaurant group, with service running from morning into the evening seven days a week. The kitchen speaks the generous, familiar language of a neighbourhood bar and grill: starters suited to the middle of the table, steaks and ribs for a full dinner, and burgers, seafood and chicken dishes that make the choice broader than a single speciality.

The opening plates range from freshly baked ciabatta covered in house-made garlic butter to crumbed camembert with plum sauce. Sizzling king prawns bring garlic, lemon and chilli, while the seafood chowder combines mixed seafood with a creamy white wine reduction, toast and crisp kumara. Buffalo cauliflower wings and chicken tenders give groups straightforward alternatives when the aim is to order several dishes and share them around.

Red meat anchors the main course selection. Ribeye, sirloin and rump steaks come with a choice of sauce and sides, and the surf and turf adds prawns in a creamy garlic sauce. Armadillo's signature pork ribs are slowly braised before being coated in the kitchen's barbecue sauce, while a New Zealand lamb hotpot under puff pastry shifts the mood from grill house to warming comfort food.

Other sections make the restaurant easier to use with a mixed party. Chicken schnitzel, a bacon and mushroom pasta, beer battered gurnard and a seafood workshop sit alongside beef, chicken, fish, and mushroom and halloumi burgers. Separate lunch, dessert and children's menus broaden the format further, giving the Belfast venue the range expected of an all-day suburban restaurant rather than a pub menu dominated by only a few fried standards.
