Important Announcement from Salinas Bistro
It is with deep sadness that we share that Salinas Bistro in Midleton will be closing its doors with immediate effect.
As many of our loyal customers and friends know, Abdulla, the heart and driving force behind our family‑run restaurant, suffered a brain aneurysm in early March. He has been in hospital since then and is now continuing his long road to recovery at the National Rehabilitation Centre in Dublin.
In his absence his wife Dee has worked tirelessly to keep Salinas Bistro going, supported by an incredible team who stepped up without hesitation. However, after much thought, Dee has made the difficult decision to close the restaurant so she can focus fully on Abdulla’s recovery and on caring for their family during this challenging time.
Dee wishes to express her deep gratitude to all the staff who have shown unwavering dedication and compassion over the past months, you have been absolute rock stars , the doors would not have remained opened without you! She also wants to thank every customer who supported Salinas Bistro over the years — your kindness and loyalty have meant more than words can say. We would also like to thank our suppliers too , if we missed out on anyone it’s not intentional!
This is not goodbye forever. Dee hopes that when the time is right, the family will be able to return in some form in the future.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of the Salinas Bistro story.
