@sprout_and_co MONKSTOWN 📍 Jack’s first kitchen job as a commis chef was at Avoca’s Salt Cafe, where he made endless croque monsieurs 🥪. Fast forward 14 years, many bowls 🥗 later, we’ve just opened our 8th Sprout & Co restaurant 10 doors down the road from where he started. On opening day, we sold €6,168 worth of food, all of which will be donated to Barnardos Children’s charity to support their work. Thank you to everyone who has come through our doors since opening—we are delighted to be part of the neighborhood! #newrestaurant ♬ original sound - Sprout & Co

As Dublin’s plant-based scene blossoms, it’s not just the flavors that nourish—it’s the feeling of something deeper taking root. Like Melt’s Plant the Garden, the city hums with quiet intention, each bite a gesture of care, each café a seed of change. Sustainability here isn’t loud—it’s lyrical. It grows in cycle lanes, in oat milk lattes, in mushroom burgers with attitude. And just like the song, Dublin reminds us: when you plant with love, the garden always answers. 🌼
