I saw that Camile’s health-focused menu was thriving in the Dublin market, and I’ve seen this market develop and grow as peoples attitude to food changes. My four other restaurants are trading well, and I’m excited for my 5^th, and more restaurants in the future. I now have 80 staff, who depend on Camile and me, and that makes me proud.”
