About Us
Every Great Story Deserves a New Chapter
From our beginnings in Belfast's Cathedral Quarter to the exciting new direction we're taking today, 44 Hill Street has always been about bringing people together through exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and memorable experiences.
Our Story
44 Hill Street Opened in 2018 by renowned restaurateur Guillaume Rabillat, the restaurant marked an exciting new chapter following the closure of his much-loved French restaurant, La Bastille on the Lisburn Road.
After years of success in South Belfast, Guillaume saw an opportunity in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter. Drawn to the energy, creativity and character of Hill Street, he envisioned a venue that combined quality dining with a relaxed, social atmosphere. The pieces quickly fell into place, and 44 Hill Street became a destination where locals and visitors alike could gather to enjoy great food, great drinks and great company.
Today, another chapter is being written.
​
With a fresh vision for the future, Guillaume's son, Dean Rabillat, has stepped into the kitchen to lead the next evolution of 44 Hill Street. Bringing a modern approach, new creativity and a passion for exceptional ingredients, Dean is building on the foundations that made 44 a success while introducing a bold new direction of his own.
Together, father and son share a commitment to quality, hospitality and creating memorable experiences for every guest who walks through the door. As 44 Hill Street continues to evolve, our focus remains the same: serving outstanding food, celebrating great company and creating a place where everyone feels welcome.

A family legacy. A new generation. A new chapter at 44 Hill Street.
