The younger retail sister of the McMahon family’s excellent Café Rua on New Antrim Street, this brilliant deli & café stocks a wide range of the delicious foods and ingredients that have been served in the café for over a decade.
International speciality foods feature too, of course, but among the local goodies on sale you’ll find Stephen Gould’s finest mixed salad leaf selection, from Headford; Ingrid Basler’s excellent Noodle House organic pasta and jams from Curry, Co Sligo; the unique Cuinneog country butter, from nearby Balla, Castlebar; Carrowholly raw milk cheese from Westport, and St Tola Organic Goat’s Cheese from Inagh, Co Clare; Westport Grove jams and relishes (and an unusual quince paste); and Connemara Smokehouse smoked salmon and tuna from Ballyconneely, Co Galway.
Most local of all, there are the foods they make themselves - including a range of chutneys, relishes and dressings – and they also sell non-food items like cookbooks and the gorgeous Bunbury chopping boards from Lisnavagh Estate, Co Carlow. And that’s only the beginning.
