Cost of living: Belfast restaurant owner felt he had to "adapt or die" amid rising costs

One of Belfast’s best-loved chefs has said the decision to rebrand one of his popular restaurants was a case of "adapt or die".

Tony O’Neill, managing director at city centre favourites Coppi and Buba, has decided to rebrand one of his businesses from Mediterranean cuisine to a burger restaurant that also offers a takeaway service.

Buba, which has been operating in the Cathedral Quarter since 2008, has been rebranded as Buba Burgers and Bits and opened earlier this month.
