    Replacing Florence, which closed recently.

    Le Petit Pois restaurant is opening tomorrow in Victoria Place. Unlike many other new restaurants that set up a website with no information whatsoever on it, Le Petit Pois have a fully functioning website with menus and even an online booking facility http://lepetitpois.ie/?page_id=2 .

    I’ve enjoyed previous restaurants in that location, I hope it’s a great success for them.

    Their nice website along with the great looking menu makes me want to go there for dinner. Best of luck to them!

    I've been wondering where they were going to open #2.

    Does that mean the Mix Greens / Grainstore kitchen are closing? Or do you really mean the Cornstore building (former Cosmo unit)?

    Why am I asking? Well Pascal posted on FB the other day that they were doing work in their new unit already - and the Grainstore kitchen are still in their place at the moment.

    Are they any good? Always been put off by the name tbh

    Managed to go from a Sunday street stall to a seemingly successful permanent restaurant. Think I've enjoyed the couple of pizzas i've had from there but mainly been in because Jamaica Joes was closed for some reason.

    Same as that. lovely looking menu with veg/gf etc clearly marked out.

    Observant feckers as well. Friend of mine went in there yesterday looking for me by mistake (I'm doing a bit beside it for the Fringe Festival), and they redirected her as soon as she described me even though our only communication has been friendly waves over the last couple of weeks.
    From seeing them setting up it really looks like a labour of love.

    *Not shilling. As I say, I've never even spoken to them (yet).

    Thats been closed for a long while now, it was a 1990s throwback, nothing to entice anyone bar the OAPs who sparsely populated it. Huge amount of options for good food in the city centre.

    Update: The Grainstore Kitchen closed on Saturday. There's a sign on the window thanking people for their support over the last year.

    Quite strange really, there was a lot of construction work going on upstairs over the winter, then it re-branded as Grainstore kitchen maybe 2-3 months ago. Now it's closed.


    Also, MixedGreens in Liosbaun is now called GreenLeaf restaurant, and has reduced the options they offer (just the standard MG menu, no custom salad or sandwich making anymore).

    The former Cosmo has been quiet for the last cupla weeks too, no activity inside. Golden Cafe also lasted less than a cupla weeks or else they only open when im not walking by.

    Was planning on popping into the grainstore for lunch today, really disappointed seeing the sign on the door. It looked VERY last minute.

    The Mix Green group is gone into liquidation: http://www.solocheck.ie/Irish-Company/Mixgreens-Foods-Limited-533563

    http://www.solocheck.ie/Irish-Company/Mixgreens-Franchising-Limited-520430

    I believe the Newcastle one is separately owned now and will continue, as will Liosbaun in another guise. The Grainstore one was limping on until a new owner could be found.

    O'Leary's in Salthill is currently being done up. Dunno what's going in there, but someone on this thread mentioned Tesco Express a long time ago ...

    This is called The Bean and Cone, a coffee shop & ice cream parlour

    Heard a well-placed rumour today that the former Central Bar in Woodquay (closed months ago when the owner died, RIP) is going to turn into a Spar.

    And noticed last weekend that there's something being done inside the former Bar 8 - windows have been covered with stuff to keep nosey eyes out.

    It's in the unit across from the main entrance to Debenham's, used to be a clothes shop.

    I haven't had a chance to try it yet but going by the reviews and photos of the food on their Facebook/Twitter, it looks very nice indeed. I'm hoping to get there soon and will report back then.

    Was in the new Dealz at lunch...it was wedged.
    It is odd to see a pound shop in a place that I associate with the Revenue/Financial Services :cool:
