New Food Hall @ Avoca

Tue Dec 02 2014

Avoca have just opened a new amazing food hall at their Kilmacanogue branch.

Combining every day essentials such as fresh fruit, vegetables, (both organic Irish and the best from Paris’ Rungis market) meat, fish, cheese, charcuterie and fresh breads from a range of well-known suppliers.

As in Monkstown and Rathcoole, Avoca has again partnered with the very best of Irish Artisan Food producers.

James Whelan Craft Butchers, Ireland’s leading butcher, has created another dramatic theatre of artisan butchery with handmade wooden butcher blocks and a glass fronted chill room. Much of his meat comes from his own farm and the rest is carefully sourced from local Tipperary farms.

The Award Winning Michie Sushi, voted Best Sushi in Ireland by the 2013 Bridgestone Guide, has a sushi bar and new to go offer.

Irish free range rotisserie chicken and meat specialist Poulet Bonne Femme has opened their fourth rotisserie concession in the Kilmacanogue store. The legendary whole cooked chickens with the secret marinade are available together with the officially recognised “Best sandwich in Dublin”. The Rotisserie Chicken on sour dough bread has customers forming an orderly queue at lunch time often right up the stairs in the Avoca store on Suffolk street.

As part of the new Food Market, Avoca is celebrating two new partnerships. Roberts of Dalkey has opened a beautiful Fresh Fish Counter, offering a wonderful selection of fresh fish, sourced from local Irish fishing ports, including lobster and crab from Bullock harbour in Dalkey. In a novel service, if you want your lobster cooked instead of alive simply select your lobster or crab, go for a browse or a cup of coffee and 12 minutes later the Avoca kitchens will have taken the hassle out cooking your fresh shell fish and will happily supply a herb butter to accompany it.

Also new to the fold is Mitchell and Son Wine Merchants. As one of Ireland’s oldest and most respected wine merchants, the partnership is an exciting new development for Avoca. Mitchell and Son will stock a superb selection of Wines, Champagnes, Port, Sherry and Dessert Wines to cater for all customers’ needs. For that special somebody, there is plenty of Wine gift packs available including Reidel glasses and wine accessories.

In keeping with growing food trends, the new gourmet Food Market includes a super food healthy eating option, “Well and Good” with an extensive range of gluten free, wheat-free and sugar-free foods. With a delicious juice station supplying tasty juices, a cheese stand and charcuterie, it offers delightful treats, allowing customers to do a full, healthy and wholesome grocery shop under one roof.

The extensive new range is accompanied by the already popular ready-to-go meals, salads, fresh baking and other succulent food offerings which were previously available at Avoca Food Halls.
