ICIAIR proudly announces its victory as the Best Delicatessen in Ireland at the esteemed French Champion Awards, held last week in Ireland. ICIAIR faced formidable competition from renowned establishments such as Dunnes Stores, Fallon & Byrne, and Donnybrook Fair, making its victory all the more noteworthy.

Founded by Parisian entrepreneur Julien Comte, ICIAIR is more than just a café and deli—it’s a culinary haven that brings the finest French cheeses and delicacies to Dublin. Inspired by his love for Ireland, Comte bid adieu to Paris in 2020 and embarked on a mission to tantalize Irish taste buds with the essence of French gastronomy. With a full delicatessen, catering, and take-out offerings, ICIAIR is renowned for its meticulously curated cheese and charcuterie boxes, mouthwatering Croque Monsieurs, gourmet coffee, freshly baked French bread, pastries, sandwiches, and a selection of French wines—all served with flair in its Parisian-inspired café located in the Frascati Centre in Blackrock. And a second ICIAR will be opening in Whelans Wines in Loughlinstown  next month.

The French Champion Awards, organized by Business France and the French government trade agency, aimed to recognize and honor the outstanding contributions of Irish businesses in promoting and showcasing French produce. ICIAIR faced formidable competition from renowned establishments such as Dunnes Stores, Fallon & Byrne, and Donnybrook Fair, making its victory all the more noteworthy.

“We are incredibly proud and honored to receive the Best Delicatessen in Ireland award at the French Champion Awards,” said Julien Comte, Founder of ICIAIR. “This recognition is a testament to our unwavering commitment to offering an unparalleled selection of authentic French products to our valued customers. We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the promotion of French cuisine in Ireland.”

ICIAIR’s win underscores its dedication to excellence in providing top-quality French products and its pivotal role in elevating the profile of French gastronomy in the Irish market. With this prestigious award, ICIAIR reaffirms its status as the go-to destination for French delicacies and sets the standard for culinary excellence in Ireland.
