Dillinger’s restaurant to close after 15 years serving customers in Dublin.

The popular brunch spot in Ranelagh will open its doors for the last time on November 4th - and is promising customers 'one last surprise' before it does.

The announcement comes as hundreds of hospitality workers protest at Leinster House - warning that many more hospitality businesses will close if the Government does not support the industry.

“Well friends, after 15 amazing years, it’s time for us to say goodbye," they wrote

"Back in 2009, we opened our doors with big dreams and what a wild ride it’s been ever since.

"From the very first chicken & waffles to the last round of bread-and-butter pudding, we’ve had the absolute best time serving you all.

“We hope to see you over the next few weeks, don’t forget to book.

"Last service Monday, 4th November don’t miss it. We may have one last surprise for you.”

Service Industry

Over 600 restaurants have closed across the country since September 2023, when the VAT rate was raised from 9% to 13.5%.

In August, celebrity chef Dylan McGrath closed two of his restaurants. Despite their success, he said it was “simply not sustainable” to keep the businesses open anymore.

The Restaurants Association of Ireland (RAI) has warned that the current VAT rate will cause over 1,000 more businesses to close in the next twelve months.
