Central Belfast has the same international high-street chains as most UK cities. Lisburn Road in South Belfast used to be the busiest road in Europe and now has an eclectic assortment of retail outlets, which get more upmarket the further away from the city centre you get. It is definitely “ladies who lunch” territory by the halfway mark at the Chelsea bar, famous for its Sunday brunch and restorative Ulster fry breakfast, as well as more metropolitan offerings at lunch and dinner time. From there on, it’s handbags, designer duds and an excellent butcher’s and baker’s or two.
