Derry Clarke’s Dublin eatery l’Ecrivain lowers losses

Owners of Michelin-starred restaurant l’Ecrivain, Derry and Sallyanne Clarke said yesterday that they are very happy with how their restaurant performed last year.

New accounts show that the firm that operates the restaurant, Sudberry Trading Ltd, reduced its accumulated losses for a second year running after a number of years of the accumulated losses increasing.

The accounts show that the firm’s accumulated losses — largely made up of non-cash depreciation costs and monies owed to Derry Clarke — reduced from €647,674 to €611,019.
