Fine dining restaurant with its own freehold in suburban Belfast

About this business

Fine dining restaurant in a residential part of Belfast, open since 2013 and trading from a freehold building the business owns. Sales have climbed in every year of the last six, from £547k in 2021 to £900k, and EBITDA has followed to £156k, a margin of about 17%. That is a strong return for fine dining, where food and staff costs usually run high. A team of 17 works across the kitchen and dining room. A buyer gets the building, the fit-out and a restaurant with a following built up over more than a decade.
