Eipic (Irish: [ˈɛpʲɪc]; "epic"), styled as EIPIC, was a restaurant in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It was awarded a Michelin star in 2016 and retained that until its closure in 2023.[1][2][3]

Head chef of EIPIC is Alex Greene. He took over from Danni Barry in late September 2017.[4] The restaurant was closed in Autumn 2023, with owner Michael Deane citing price sensitivity among customers facing the cost-of-living crisis. The closure was reported as a "massive" loss to Belfast's culinary status.[5]
