A popular Belfast city centre restaurant has announced it will be closing its doors this Christmas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bank Square Brasserie, an intimate restaurant tucked away behind Bank Square<\/a> has become one of the city’s hidden culinary gems serving fantastic food, a fresh mix of cocktails<\/a> and offering a casual and friendly atmosphere in stylish surroundings<\/p>\n

For three years, it made a name for itself at its central location at the back of CastleCourt shopping centre<\/a> and just a few doors down from the legendary Madden\u2019s Bar.<\/p>\n
