Award-winning chef and restaurateur Michael Deane has announced a new restaurant to add to his portfolio. mrDeanes Bistro Bar and Social is set to open in his flagship premises, formerly known as Love Fish and Deanes Eipic, in Belfast city centre later this month.

The 90-seater restaurant will offer an A La carte menu featuring many Deanes’ classics, reflecting the restaurateur’s long-running passion for hospitality.

The name of the new restaurant is a personal tribute to his late father Ted Deane who was a massive support to him throughout his career.

Mr Deane was well known to generations of staff and was often to be found dealing with electrical and engineering issues across the restaurants.

Unveiling the plans Michael Deane said: "I’m very invigorated for the launch of MrDeanes. Our new concept harnesses much of what we’ve been well-known for over the 27 years we’ve been in business in the city.

"There will be a nod to our legacy operations from Deanes Brasserie, Deanes Deli, and Love Fish.

"I firmly believe it will excite our existing loyal customers as well as attract new diners to Deanes. In terms of the business, my overall aim is to underpin sustainability and secure jobs going forward."

mrDeanes Bistro sits alongside the reimagined space that previously housed the Michelin-starred Deanes Eipic.

The extensive redesign features a long bar that joins both rooms and includes an area known as MrDeanes Social.

It will offer an A la carte menu for lunch and dinner as well as snacks and drinks and there will be live music on various nights with the space also be available for private hire.

Emphasising his commitment to high standards of food and service Michael added: "The restaurant will consistently serve top quality ingredients, skilfully cooked as well as an extensive selection of drinks, in fresh, contemporary surroundings- That’s what we’ve set out to do”"

In addition to this development, Deanes Meat Locker will pause service for three weeks, from the beginning of June to undergo a refresh and an extension creating more customer capacity.
