The food court on the right upstairs looked practically ready to open when I was in there last week... any firm word on what's going into the various new units now?

Nothing except chopped

Is the food court a bit of a flop?

They are charging ridiculous prices for those glass retail units in there. The smallest one works out at just about 17k a year

That’s a lot of left handed scissors

General cafe/food like kylemore probably a good fit for the demand.Kfc out dunmore road, pizza hut opening near Odeon, .I wouldn't be bothered personally about other two, much rather see something different like chopped then a mediocre burger place.there will be other announcements too as more space than before.having said that I wouldn't be surprised to see BK back in there upstairs, it was always busy in previous place.

Where are pizza hut opening ?

Railway square

I'd prefer it if a branch of 'Milano' was opening in Waterford and not a Pizza Hut.

Yeah, we can finally put our Tesco points to good use

Chopped is a place you will go once and never return. €6 for a basic sandwich.

The main premise of chopped is salads. I dont there are sandwiches on the menu.

You might be able to get a wrap. But its 90% chopped salads.

I would go close to once a week in Dublin. Its a great healthy option for lunch or dinner on the go, an alternative to the sandwich.

Id prefer a local independant shop that does a nice pizza,there's less than a handful of decent places in town to get a good pizza..

I'd imagine the high prices that City Square are looking for, there would very little chance of an independent and local restaurant going in there.

Also if they are not getting anyone to fill those small units across from JD Sports in December, then they'll have no hope filling it from January onwards.

Dissapointed that Kylemore are going back there of true. It's literally just a rearrangement of the furniture - Carrig Donn going in to where Burger King were. This is it's third move in as many years. Hoping that it's a big store going into the main new unit.

I know someone that looked at the unit next to holland and Barrett

48k rent
14k rates
18k service charge


They just laughed.

And that unit has been empty for about 6-7 years now since Next left. Imagine if they got a bit more realistic with the price of where the unit is - under the main stairs, and very little window display - that they could have had a tenant there.

Where's the italian on the Quay? Antichi Sapori is the one right outside City Square btw, forgot about Ginos. Mmmm Ginos

And Emilianos two minutes away too. I love all those restaurants mentioned but as someone else said you need the deeper pockets of multinationals sometimes to keep a place afloat.

Oh completely forgot about La Fontana.

Been there, nice food but a bit pricey. €81 euro for 2 courses each and 2 glasses wine

Ummmmm, guys.. I don't wanna be the one to say it.. but yeah, Chopped and all.. looks great, but all empty besides that? I honestly feel like they've been closed for a year and spent hundreds of thousands creating new lovely toilets and corridors :-(

Anyone else hear Kylemore are moving back into part of it?
