Restaurant review: Belfast all-you-can-eat deal is heaven for kids

Making the most of the offer requires a clear strategy

Cosmo, Belfast - the world on your plate

Joris Minne

Pile it high and sell it cheap. Cosmo in Belfast, winner of the Gok Wan Golden Chopsticks best restaurant in Northern Ireland award only last week, has stuck to the market premise. There’s life in the restaurant trade after all.

While there are at least six other contenders across Northern Ireland I could name as potential recipients of the Golden Chopsticks, Cosmo would not be one of them. That’s not to say that what it offers is no good. Northern Ireland’s restaurant and takeaway sector is made up of independent, family-owned micro businesses, most of which take huge pride in what they do, where they source their ingredients and how they operate. Cosmo is big business.
