Upon googling this on my ever useful smartphone we discovered that this was now the largest Tesco in Ireland. So on the way back to Dublin, we exited at junction 9, took the roundabout exit for Sallins and had a look. We needed to do a foodshop anyway. It is pretty impressive, lots of everything and as big as they say it is. It's also the only place where you can setup billed Tesco mobile phone accounts, according to their sales guy anyway. There are also a few other shops in the same complex like Argos, Vodafone, Boots and The Butchers Block. I can't really add much more than that, it's a Tesco. People know what to expect. Useful for when we are passing again.

It's Tesco but bigger and better than ever. The range of fruit, bars, meats, cards, toys -…read moreeverything is just more extensive than any of the other Tesco shops I have been in. Tesco Maynooth was big but this is even bigger. I would recommend it mostly for the electronics, toys and clothes sections. The Argos and boots in the complex are handy if you need to pick up anything while you are there but there is every chance that Tesco will have the product anyway!

Good Food Gallery is a quality food store with a restaurant at the back. If you're addicted to good…read morefood, come here for your fix. Jars of rocket pesto, packets of nuts, seeds and dried fruits, bottles of fine wine, sumptuous carrot cake and barrels of stuffed olives tempt the healthy palette. I bought a large packet of Kettle Chips (hand cooked potato chips with "absolutely nothing artificial") for €3.50. An expensive way to guiltlessly munch on crisps. My aunt and I split the beef casserole and the salmon (€11.95 each). All mains come with a fist-full of vegetarian pasta, beetroot and coleslaw. I also treated myself to a small tub of feta-stuffed olives. Yum! As we sat in the sunshine sipping our coffees (with soy milk if you please), we discussed the health benefits of tannins (any excuse for that caffeine hit or to uncork a nice bottle of red) and marvelled at the vibrant colours of the pansy violets that peered out at us from the cutest little flower pots.

Overall the atmosphere is relaxed, the surround inviting and there are lots of interesting pics to look at (and buy). Minus points for forgetting to deliver the coffees we ordered (the place wasn't busy!) but other than that a nice wee spot for a bite to eat.

As a tourist the only downside but also positive is that if you use your credit card you would need a supervisor approval, which for my husband and I, that took about 20 minutes for her to be located and come over, and two forms of ID with my husband having to sign with as much similarity to his ID and credit card signatures as possible. I realize that it is for our security which I appreciated, it was just the waiting time that kinda sucked.

Bradburys have been in Athy since 1938 so if you add up those years and all those cakes and breads…read morethey've made over the years ... It's no doubt they call themselves specialists in their field. Their cakes and buns are lovely and fresh. I'm a fan of coffee slices and would prefer their topping to be more like the sticky caramel you get in most bakeries - theirs is a hard icing. Their salads are fresh and they offer a nice selection. For hot food, you can try their all day breakfast - in my opinion it could be of better quality in some parts like the sausages but that's just personal preference. Their vol au vents are tasty and the potato gratin, delicious. The restaurant itself is bright, airy and clean - if the weather permits you can sit in the small terraced garden. The prices are average and there are specials available. The staff are very friendly. Bradburys haven't gone down the gourmet breakfast, sandwich or meal route like so many places have. They have enough of a selection in the salad to build your own gourmet sandwich. Would it make it better if they did advertise an all gourmet menu it's hard to say. As it's a favourite spot for my mum for a bite to eat and a chat, I'll be returning again and again.
