Our Latest Great Place to Eat - Brambles @ National Museum of Ireland - Country Life
Tuesday 02 February 2016
What started out as one cafe in the old Dundrum Shopping Centre now employs 200 people across the 20 locations of their hugely popular chain of Brambles cafes - from the National Museum of Ireland in Kildare Street to Dundrum Town Centre, from Russborough House in Wicklow to the Jervis Centre, right up to the National Museum of Country Life in Castlebar, Co. Mayo.
At Brambles, their focus is on food that is both wholesome and homemade, without all the additives and nonsense that can be so hard to avoid these days. They do really good dishes such as chicken and broccoli, really good quiches, home-cooked ham, home-cooked turkey, home-cooked chicken; superfood salads and, they cook everything themselves because they know they can stand over it proudly.They are of course conscious of the healthy eating trend too offering plenty of options that won’t leave you in fear of busting the scales, and they've also been into gluten-free foods for quite a long time.
The most recent addition to catch my attention is their Brambles @ the National Museum of Ireland – Country life, in Castlebar, Co. Mayo, where, in the usual Brambles fashion, they are offering their customers a fantastic array of delicious cakes and sweet, mouth-watering delights along with all sorts of other fantastic, fresh desserts that taste just as good as they look. Believe me!
Far from being all about sweets and treats, at Brambles they offer a fab selection of great savoury choices such as simple or gourmet sandwiches like a carved honey ham on wholegrain with beef tomato and mixed leaves or smoked salmon with mayo topped with red onion and iceberg lettuce leaves. They also have a great variety of quiches and pies.
