Camile is an Irish restaurant chain, serving Thai cuisine.[2] Originating in Dolphin's Barn, Dublin in 2010,[3] the chain was co-founded by Brody Sweeney (previously associated with the O'Briens Irish Sandwich Bars chain).[4] The chain, which operates via a franchise restaurant model,[5] has since expanded throughout Ireland and the UK,[6] with 45 locations as of 2021.[1] As of June 2021, it was also reportedly expanding via a "partnership" model in the United States.[7][8][9]
