Hammerson announces that it has attracted Irish artisan and speciality grocer, Donnybrook Fair to Dundrum Town Centre, opening an extensive retail foodhall and premium restaurant and bar.
Due to launch in the coming months at Pembroke Square, the exciting food destination will be the retailer’s sixth Irish store. A 900 sq m space, Donnybrook Fair at Dundrum Town Centre will bring with it an exceptionally premium look and feel. Entirely devoted to celebrating food, visitors will be taken on an experiential culinary journey from the moment they enter the retail food market on the ground floor, right through to the restaurant and bar space on Level 1.
The new space for Donnybrook Fair at Pembrooke Square enhances the food and beverage offer at Dundrum, which is a focus for Hammerson across its European portfolio as its flagship destinations proactively change the brand mix to include more experiential offers.
For over 20 years, Donnybrook Fair has been Dublin’s premier craft butcher, seafood and fresh fish market, serving up quality fish, meat and seafood delicacies. Customers can expect the retailer’s hugely popular produce and delicious gourmet meals, as well as several pop-up culinary experiences, details of which will be revealed ahead of the official opening.
