Avoca Ballsbridge is Open!

Mar 05, 2019

Avoca Ballsbridge is the thirteenth Avoca store to open, and is nestled in the bustling, dynamic area of Ballsbridge in Dublin 4. This brand-new location is an elevated food concept store, and promises to be a fabulous experience for every foodie.

The Food Market is a first-class experience, boasting a neighbourhood deli counter, coffee bar and ‘hello and go’ section. The Avoca butcher offer showcases the finest meats from the country’s best artisan, organic and free-range meat producers. There is a cheese and charcuterie counter, a Parisian-style patisserie filled with decadent cakes resembling works of art, and a carefully chosen selection of fine wines. There is seating allocated throughout so customers can taste and explore.
 
The exciting new addition of a pop-up food concept counter will keep the store’s offering fresh and innovative. The first to take up residence will be Páng, a new Vietnamese concept offering creative and visually stunning rice paper rolls, pho, delicious salad bowls and the traditional Vietnamese baguettes, banh mi.

Taking good food back to basics, Fodder Restaurant will centre around deliciously simple, quality fare cooked to perfection. The menu will focus on seasonal and local ingredients, hand-prepared with care and attention by the team of talented chefs. Fodder will serve breakfast and lunch 7 days a week, and will offer an exceptional evening dining experience from Wednesday to Saturday. Offering something for every occasion and at any time of day, Fodder will serve as the perfect spot for morning business meetings, brunch and cocktails with friends and romantic dinners for two.
 
In keeping with the Avoca brand’s DNA, this innovative new concept store is deeply rooted in heritage. Throughout the space, threads connect what is now to what used to be. Original features can be seen throughout, from the old photographs and maps of the area proudly hanging on the walls, to the stone animal heads mounted above the bar in Fodder restaurant. The design of Avoca Ballsbridge is an elevated take on the well-established brand aesthetic, with the use of colour, texture and bespoke patterns throughout. The exquisite Italian marble mosaic tiled floors contrast beautifully with screed concrete, the perfect shade of pink. There are vaulted ceilings with just-right ambient lighting, French chandeliers and a central wood fire oven adorned with sparkling, disco-ball inspired tiles, adding a playful touch of fun to the interior. 
 
Guaranteed to offer an unforgettable experience for every type of foodie, Avoca Ballsbridge promises to bring a fantastic experience that will surprise and delight.
