A restaurant in Dundrum Town Centre is closing its doors “with a heavy heart” just before Christmas.
The Flying Duck, a music, food and theatre venue situated next to Harvey Nichols, is headed up by actor and restaurateur Gary Whelan.
The venue opened just over two years ago offering “a varied mix of local inspired Irish produce, ranging from modern cuisine in our restaurant to creative small bites served in our stylish bar area”.
However, The Flying Duck has announced it is shutting due to several challenging circumstances.
“We are closed. It is with a heavy heart that we announce The Flying Duck is closing its doors,” they said.
“After much thought and reflection, we’ve made this difficult decision due to several challenging circumstances that have made it unsustainable for us to continue operations.
“We want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported us over the years, whether you joined us for a meal, celebrated a special occasion, or simply stopped by for a coffee.
“Your loyalty, kindness, and love have meant the world to us. While this chapter is ending, we’re excited for what’s ahead!
“Big things are coming with our sister companies, Smash It and The Good Food Store catering, as well as many more exciting opportunities.
“Please keep following us to stay connected and continue to support our journey.”
