Popular Dublin restaurant to close after over a decade of business
It’s the end of an era…
A popular Dublin restaurant is set to close its doors.
Cleaver East in Temple Bar will be closing its doors to the public after a decade of serving up some fine Asian fusion dishes.
The restaurant opened in 2013 and since then, head chef Oliver Dunne has been putting delicious food on plates and smiles on faces.
In a statement on social media, Dunne explained: “After 12 happy and memorable years in Temple Bar, Cleaver East will be closing its doors for the final time on Sunday, 3rd August 2025, due to the closure and renovation of The Clarence Hotel.”
The statement continued: “Cleaver East has been a trail-blazing restaurant. It was first to bring and launch many dining trends and concepts to Ireland, such as, the first small plate restaurant, bottomless brunches, night bird menus, not afternoon tea, night brunch, Pornburger series, ladies’ nights and so many more.
“None of this would have been possible without you guys, our amazing team and our Cleaver East community.”
They further revealed that all staff members have been relocated within the Oliver Dunne Restaurant Group.
“We invite everyone to join us in celebrating the final few weeks of Cleaver East. Come raise a glass and enjoy this legendary restaurant one last time before we say goodbye.
“Cleaver East will be open for Dinner, Wednesday to Sunday and weekend Bottomless Brunch, up to and including Sunday, 3rd of August, when we turn off the lights one last time.
“Thank you, Dublin, it’s been a wild ride,” concluded the statement
