Sacre bleu! Rugby fans are coming: Where to eat like a French person in Dublin this weekend

As Saturday’s Six Nations rugby decider looms, embrace la vie en rose in Dublin eateries offering a true taste of France

Superb cheese offerings with real French flair are on offer at ICIAR, which is now solely operating out of Whelehans Wines in Loughlinstown, Co Dublin, after recently shutting up shop at Blackrock’s Frascati Centre. Founded by Parisian Julien Comte, the cafe is open until 6pm on Saturday, with classic options including patisserie, croque-monsieur and soup available alongside cheese aplenty and a huge selection of excellent wines from Whelehans. A good option if you plan to entertain at home, there are perfectly formed artisanal cheese tasting boxes ready to take away, with or without charcuterie, as well as raclette that’s ready to melt.
