Gourmet Food Parlour Launches Two New Food Offerings At Brown Thomas

Gourmet Food Parlour has announced two new food offerings at Brown Thomas, Grafton Street, Dublin 2. The independent Irish-owned restaurant and catering group is now operating Edition Cafe and Brown’s Brasserie therein.

The two dining destinations will aim to blend Gourmet Food Parlour’s signature flair, offering ‘indulgent breakfasts to vibrant brunches and exquisite lunch menus’.

“These two new spaces will not only showcase our commitment to quality and creativity, but also offer an inviting atmosphere, where customers can enjoy memorable dining experiences,” said Lorraine Heskin, CEO of Gourmet Food Parlour. “This expansion reinforces Gourmet Food Parlour’s position as a leader in Ireland’s dynamic food scene.”

Brown’s Brasserie will continue to serve as a destination for brunch, lunch and dinner. Customers can expect a modern, European-inspired menu with Irish influences, featuring seasonal ingredients and expertly crafted dishes, such as premium slow-braised beef, prawn and ’nduja paccheri pasta, and crème brûlée French toast, to name but a few.

Meanwhile, Edition will offer contemporary dishes as part of an elevated cafe experience, aimed at those seeking artisanal coffee, delicate pastries, and light bites.

The expansion will see 33 staff members come under the Gourmet Food Parlour umbrella, bringing the total staff numbers for the Irish business to over 320. Additional roles will become available in the coming months, as Gourmet Food Parlour continues to add to its team.

Having opened Kitchen Italian, Corner Cafe and Homemade in 2023, and Henry’s in November 2024 – all at Arnotts – Gourmet Food Parlour now owns a total of 12 venues across Ireland, and a catering division.

“With a growing portfolio of restaurants and a successful catering division, the brand continues to push the boundaries of modern Irish cuisine,” said Heskin.
