One of the hottest tables at the moment in Belfast, EDO  –  it’s Latin for “I eat”  –  is presided over by Johnny Elliott, a charismatic talent who worked with Gordon Ramsay and Gary Rhodes before becoming a Russian billionaire’s personal chef. It offers a contemporary take on Spanish tapas and larger raciones, which are cooked over pear and apple wood, and chunks of peat to give them their unique BBQ flavour.

Best Dish: Ham Hock with Celeriac, Pickles & Brown Butter Breadcrumb – £17.50
