Dean & Deluca Opens in Monaco, Bringing New York Chic to Métropole Shopping Centre

Monaco's Métropole Shopping Centre has enriched its retail landscape with the grand opening of Dean & Deluca, marking the iconic New York gourmet grocery store's inaugural foray into Europe. Positioned strategically in the heart of the Principality, this new establishment introduces a harmonious blend of luxury food items and an urban chic aesthetic, mirroring its famed origins in Manhattan's SoHo district since 1977. Despite encountering financial hurdles and scaling down its U.S. operations, Dean & Deluca has expanded its global footprint, with the Monaco venue becoming its 78th location.

The store concept, refined by Director Clara Rosso, caters specifically to the tastes of Monaco's discerning consumers. The shelves of Dean & Deluca Monte-Carlo are stocked with meticulously chosen products like premium olive oils, exquisite teas, and luxurious chocolates. Additionally, the in-store dining area features a menu brimming with freshly made dishes inspired by New York cuisine, including classic pastrami sandwiches and penne with meatballs, tailored to delight the palates of local and international visitors alike.

Dean & Deluca's commitment to quality is evident in its collaborations with local suppliers, ensuring all offerings are freshly prepared, with a strict policy of no freezers used. Enhancing the authentic New York experience, daily deliveries of cookies, brownies, and cinnamon rolls from La Turbie’s Ma première boulangerie are available, providing a sweet start to the day in true Manhattan style. This new gourmet destination not only adds a slice of New York sophistication to Monaco but also enriches the principality's diverse culinary landscape.
