Monaco welcomes a slice of New York sophistication with the opening of Dean & Deluca, the iconic gourmet grocery store, on the first level of the Métropole Shopping Centre…

This marks the brand’s first European location, bringing its blend of luxury food and urban chic to the heart of the Principality.

Founded in SoHo in 1977, Dean & Deluca became synonymous with stylish New York living, offering artisanal products and gourmet delights. Despite financial struggles and a reduced presence in the U.S., the brand has flourished internationally, with 77 locations worldwide, now joined by this Monaco outpost.

Director Clara Rosso, who tailored the concept for Monaco’s discerning clientele, emphasizes the focus on exceptional products. On the shelves, patrons will find hand-selected olive oils, fine teas, and decadent chocolates, while the dining area offers a menu of freshly prepared New York-inspired dishes, from pastrami sandwiches to penne with meatballs.

Reflecting its commitment to quality, Dean & Deluca Monte-Carlo partners with local suppliers, ensuring everything is made fresh, with no freezers in sight. For sweet indulgences, daily deliveries of cookies, brownies, and cinnamon rolls from La Turbie’s Ma première boulangerie add a taste of Manhattan to Monaco mornings.

With its curated offerings and cosmopolitan flair, Dean & Deluca Monte-Carlo brings a new dimension to Monaco’s culinary scene, marrying the vibrancy of New York with the sophistication of the Riviera.
