Gourmet Food Parlour has announced it will be opening a new store in Arnotts Henry Street located in Dublin city centre.
Established in 2006 with a restaurant in Dun Laoghaire, there are now six locations across Dublin and Galway including a catering kitchen in Santry.
Gourmet Food Parlour will be taking over the running of the existing Homemade, Corner Café and Kitchen Bistro restaurants in the Arnotts department store.

"We're always on the hunt to grow and challenge ourselves, and what better place to do so than in @arnottsdublin, Dublin's most iconic department store," said a statement on the company's Instagram.
"This is a huge milestone in what has been a proud and successful 17 years in business, we can't wait to bring Gourmet Food Parlour to the people of inner city Dublin."
