This week was a big one for openings and closures across Dublin eateries.
We’ve welcomed new cafes, seen beloved Dublin restaurants and food establishments exchange hands and said temporary goodbyes to some of our fave spots. All these stories have been covered in more detail throughout the week but if you’re looking for a quick rundown of the main foodie headlines, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s get into it:
