One Dublin restaurant has transformed their outdoor area leaving it unrecognisable in order to stay open during the Level 3 Lockdown in the capital.
Sprezzatura on Camden Market is renowned for its Italian ideas mixed with Irish produce but one of their biggest food challenges came yesterday.
General Manager of the restaurant, Alan Grehan, took to social media to show the lengths him and his team had to go to in order to keep their business alive during these difficult times.
He posted on Twitter: "Needless to say moving an entire restaurant outdoors has been an experience.
He added: "Quick thinking keeping us swimming during lockdown in Sprezzatura."
Dublin's pubs and restaurants shut their doors on Friday for at least three weeks after the county was moved up to Level 3 restrictions as COVID-19 infections rates continue to soar in the capital.
Under the guidelines, people living in Dublin are advised not to travel outside the city and there can be no outdoor gatherings of more than 15 people.
Here's what Level 3 (and Level 3 and a Half) will mean for Dubliners:
- No non-essential travel outside Dublin for 3 weeks
- Work from home unless impossible
- More restrictions on pubs and restaurants (here NPHET wants Level 4 measures including a ban on indoor dining)
- Museums and galleries close
- Social and family gatherings banned
- Amateur sporting events and matches scrapped
- Lecture halls close, college classes move online
- Virtual Mass only as religious services move online
- No indoor gatherings
- Outdoor gatherings capped at 15 people
- Weddings and funeral capacities cut to 25
- Care home visits banned
- Visits to another home/garden limited to one other household
