Jamie Oliver’s Dundrum Restaurant Closes After 14 Years

The Jamie Oliver restaurant at Dundrum Town Centre in Dublin has closed its doors, marking the end of a 14-year presence at the shopping centre. The closure, confirmed on Saturday, March 21, 2026, follows the expiration of the lease for the 4,500 sq ft unit, according to a spokesperson for the business as reported by the Irish Times.

Franchise Operation and Previous Restructuring

The restaurant was operated as a franchise by Enforge PCC, with Gerry Fitzpatrick as its sole director. This closure comes after a significant restructuring of the Jamie Oliver restaurant group in the UK in 2019, which saw 22 restaurants close and approximately 1,000 jobs lost according to the Irish Times.

Impact on Other Locations

The closure at Dundrum Town Centre does not affect the Jamie Oliver-branded restaurant on Exchequer Street in Dublin city centre, known as Chequer Lane. That location is operated by a separate Fitzpatrick company, Enforge Exchequer Street the Irish Times reports.

Recent Commentary on the Restaurant

Prior to its closure, Jamie Oliver’s Italian in Dundrum was the subject of a recent review, with one Dublin-based food reviewer noting the bill was surprisingly high as reported by Dublin Live on March 7, 2026.
