Popular Galway city falafel and vegetarian restaurant The Gourmet Offensive has closed down due to the pandemic, and ongoing economic pressure.
The much loved spot, which has been at Mary Street in the city centre for 7 years, started in 2005 as a stall at St Nicholas’ market, selling falafel and fresh salads.
Owner Floris Wagemakker says the decision to close “had to be made” and felt it was “out of their hands” due to the current economic climate.
