A Bray restaurant has made the tough decision to close its doors after four years of trading.
Ripasso Restaurant and Wine Bar first opened on Albert Avenue in 2019. The owners said they had "adapted to thrive" over their four years in business and wanted to go out on a high before their closure.
The restaurant's final day of trading will take place on May 28 and customers are encouraged to stop by to say their farewells. People with pre-existing vouchers will be prioritised when reserving a table.

The owners said on Instagram: "The last four years have been some of the most challenging and rewarding for us. Opening in August of 2019, we had to adapt to survive and go on to thrive."
They thanked their customers for their continued support over the years in business. They admitted that the hospitality industry was a "tough one" in their statement on social media.
Customers took to the comments section to praise Ripassso and express their disappointment at the news. Many people were keen to pay the restaurant a final visit ahead of the May deadline.
One person wrote: "Very best wishes.. you will be hugely missed. Please open up again in Bray sometime soon."
Another customer said: "We understand the decision must be very difficult. We wish you the very best into the future and hope to see you before you close."
