About Us

Richard McCracken quietly opened the doors of Cyprus Avenue on the 30 December 2016 after renovations to a once derelict building nestled amongst the tree lined streets of Ballyhackamore village. Within a year it was clear the premises were no longer suitable for demand and Cyprus Avenue expanded into the adjoining building.

Open 7 days a week from 10am mid week and 9am weekends till late Cyprus Avenue is a venue for all occasions. Spilling out on the Upper Newtownards Road with a fully covered heated terrace it makes for the perfect destination whether you’re in the mood for 3 courses or a morning coffee whilst people watching.

The menu is dictated by the seasons and portraits of the local suppliers who furnish the restaurant with their produce adorn the walls. The food is very much eclectic, drawing on the travels and influences of the staff allowing for a constantly evolving varied menu with something to please everyone.

Cyprus Avenue remains family run and fiercely proud of its humble beginnings, honoured to serve East Belfast.
