The story
Cyprus Avenue, the Michelin Recommended restaurant on Belfast’s Upper Newtownards Road, is currently closed, but a new restaurant is set to open in its place during the summer of 2026. The team behind the original venue has announced the transition, inviting guests to stay connected via their mailing list for updates on the upcoming launch.
Before its closure, Cyprus Avenue was a notable destination for contemporary cuisine in Belfast. Recognised by the Michelin guide, the restaurant offered a modern dining experience in the city’s Ballyhackamore area. The venue featured several distinct concepts, including a Cornershop, a Pizza Van, and a dedicated Restaurant space, as well as catering for weddings. The restaurant’s website noted that it was wheelchair accessible, had air conditioning, outdoor seating, and catered well for vegetarians.
While the details of the new restaurant remain under wraps, the Cyprus Avenue team has confirmed a summer 2026 opening at the same address: 228 Upper Newtownards Road. Those who wish to be the first to know about the new venture can sign up for the mailing list via the restaurant’s website. The team’s previous success with Cyprus Avenue suggests that the new project will continue to offer a refined yet welcoming take on contemporary cuisine in Belfast.
