There's nothing that excites us more than a new arrival to the Dublin restaurant and café scene – and so the news that the beautiful Industry and Co store on Drury Street has added a deli/café to its offering has really got our mouths watering in the lead-up to lunch time.
With coffee from Roasted Brown, and tea from Wall & Keogh, the slick interiors and accessories store has straight away marked itself out as a serious player in one of the most competitive parts of town – but it's the food options that have us really excited.
The menu, which you can see sampled belowm carries a strong Middle-Eastern influence – and that's a direct influence shop boss Marcus Mac Innes's home life, he says.
My wife Kadija was born in Paris but is of Moroccan descent and we have always enjoyed using a hint of authentic North African and Middle Eastern flavours that work so well with the wealth of great Irish ingredients we have on offer.
Marcus Mac Innes, Managing Director, Industry and Co
He added: "You can inject such interesting colours, flavours and textures into simple healthy food using the right combination of fresh herbs, spices and a touch of creativity."
We'll be down to check it out very soon – watch this space, and in the meantime, don't forget to tag your pics using #lovindublin on Instagram and Twitter!
