We are Delighted to announce a very Special Collaboration between One of Belfast’s most sought after Fine-dinning Restaurants and some of Ireland’s most prestigious and distinguished whiskies.

With exceptional attention to detail the team at EDŌ have developed a whiskey pairing that will gravitate both the exceptional whiskies and the exquisite produce from the kitchen.

This is a unique opportunity to taste EDŌ in a slightly different environment, part of a perfectly curated evening.

EDŌ brings you a relaxed dining experience where you can enjoy the tastes of the best ingredients from around Europe. Award winning owners Jonny & Charlotte bring a huge passion for food from their extensive experience working across Europe, including for top chefs Gordon Ramsay and Gary Rhodes.

EDŌ is ideal for those wanting to experience a range of tastes through a sharing themed menu. For those who prefer a more traditional service, the starter and main course format is still available. EDŌ is one of only a very small number of restaurants to cook using a Bertha oven, which allows for the chefs to cook with apple and pear wood to give dishes a distinctive , smokey flavour.
