As recent winner of Good Food Ireland’s Best National Café award and John and Sally McKenna’s nominated Irish food retailer of the year for 2012, it is fair to say that it is always Irish food week at Rua and Café Rua. However, the company has planned a special series of events to celebrate Irish produce in the run up to St Patrick’s Day, featuring a cookery class, a dinner featuring some of the best local produce available, and many other delicious deals in both their cafés and delicatessen.
Cookery demo
Cooking with buttermilk in association with Cuinneog takes place at Rua Deli on Wednesday, March 11, at 7.30pm. Tickets now available from Rua delicatessen.
Meet the maker
Meet the Allen Brothers of Castlemine Farm, suppliers of award winning meat and farm produce as seen recently on RTÉ’s Ear to the Ground, at lunchtime, Friday March 15, in Rua Deli.
Dinner at Spencer Street
Locally sourced menu celebrating the Best of the West on Friday, March 15.
Win a Good Food Ireland hamper brimming with wonderful produce from the likes of Castlemine Farm, Connemara Smokehouse, Kelly’s Butchers, and more.
Good Food Ireland tasting plate all week at both cafés for only €10 with a sampling of some delicious artisan produced cheeses, meats, breads, and accompaniments.
Wonderful homemade boxty will also be on sale in Rua delicatessen on Spencer Street where you will also find 20 per cent off the price of all Irish cookbooks for the week including titles from Darina Allen, Ard Bia, and Neven Maguire.
