After being open to the public for two years Lionels Messi’s “Bellavista del Jardín Del Norte” restaurant has confirmed it’s closure.

Barcelona restaurant “Bellavista del Jardín Del Norte” has confirmed that it’s to close it’s doors for good after owner consortium group Grupo Iglesias (of which Leo Messi is a partner) announced the closure due “a change of business model”.

The expansive 400m2 restaurant has seen turbulent times recently in the Catalan capital with the city suffering as the clamour for independence has seen social unrest in many of the central streets in Barcelona. Messi’s brother Rodrigo (who owned 50& shareholding in the establishment) told Catalan daily La Vanguardia that a serie of problems had dogged: “The financial crisis, growing anti-tourist sentiment, terrorist attacks, politics, civil unrest” were cited as reasons leading to the closure.
