Special BBQ for Belfast Pride Parade (Saturday 27th July)

To celebrate the Belfast Pride Parade, AC Hotel Belfast will host a special BBQ on The Terrace from 11.30am to 5.00pm. Experience a day of relaxed dining with Mediterraneaninspired cuisine, all while enjoying the al fresco atmosphere and views of the iconic Titanic Quarter.

The Terrace is the perfect place to be this summer. Guests can enjoy tapas-inspired sharing plates, pizza, and the popular Terrace BBQ Thursdays, held on the last Thursday of each month. Live entertainment adds to the atmosphere on weekends and BBQ Thursdays.

The Terrace’s new menu captures the essence of the Mediterranean with vibrant flavours and fresh ingredients. Enjoy dishes like Padrón peppers, succulent calamari, antipasti sharing boards, and delicious pizzas.

Paula Stuart, General Manager at AC Hotel by Marriott Belfast, adds: “We’re so happy to recently reopen The Terrace for summer — it’s an exciting chapter for us and our food. Celebrating six years of hospitality with Belfast Pride 2024 is amazing. We invite everyone to come dine, relax, and enjoy the parade preparations.
