Popular Belfast restaurant Flame is set to open a new 120-seater venue in the city centre later this year.
Flame will relocate to the £85 million Ewart building on Belfast's Bedford Street, opening its doors on the 2,677 sq ft restaurant ground floor space in early summer 2023.
Dating back to 1870, The Ewart is the final phase of developer MRP and construction partner McAleer & Rushe's Bedford Square Development which has been fully transformed with a 17-storey building complementing the original Grade B listed sandstone warehouse.
Commenting on the new signing Paul Beacom, Development Director, MRP said: "One of Belfast's most innovative, sustainable and flexible buildings, The Ewart is a great fit for the future vision of many businesses and the arrival of Flame reinforces its broad appeal. The restaurant adds to the dynamic and diverse range of businesses that are locating their head offices in our landmark development, and it is further supporting the regeneration and growth of the City Centre."
A spokesperson from Flame commented: "We are absolutely delighted to be part of this new and exciting development in the heart of Belfast. This high footfall area will not only benefit our business but also help to grow the city centre economy which Flame has been a part of now for more than a decade. We see the original building as a beacon of Belfast's heritage and have fully embraced the opportunity to invest significantly in a state-of-the-art fit-out courtesy of O'Donnell & O'Neill which bring a new lease of life to Flame as we know it. We look forward to welcoming customers to our new location early Summer 2023."
Laura Galloway added: "CBRE NI are delighted to have been involved in the letting's success of the £85m office development including the recent letting of the ground floor retail unit to Flame."
