Cheese Lovers, Brace Yourself

Founded by Parisian entrepreneur Julien Comte, ICIAR 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, ICIAR is renowned for its meticulously curated cheese and charcuterie boxes, mouthwatering Croque-Monsieur, 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. ICIAR delights can also be found at Whelehans Wines in Loughlinstown (takeaway only).
