Michelin-starred restaurant closes its door because it is expensive

Deanes EIPIC, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Belfast, is closing down after 25 years due to increased price sensitivity among customers and the impact of Covid, Brexit, and the cost of living crisis. The head chef, Alex Greene, sees this as a reflection of a growing trend in the hospitality industry. The restaurant, known for its fine-dining model, has struggled to maintain its high standards amid rising costs.
