The Olympic Federation of Ireland (OFI) is pleased to announce the renewal of its partnership with leading Irish restaurant and catering group Gourmet Food Parlour, who will continue as the official catering supplier to Team Ireland through to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
Since 2022, Gourmet Food Parlour has worked closely with Team Ireland, ensuring that athletes and staff are provided with high-quality, nutritious meals tailored to the needs of elite performers. The extension of this partnership builds on a successful collaboration across multiple Olympic cycles.
Quality
Gourmet Food Parlour first opened its doors in Dun Laoghaire nineteen years ago as a café serving a range of quality, artisan dishes using locally sourced ingredients. Today, the group operates twelve locations across Dublin, Meath and Galway and has established itself as the largest sports catering company in Ireland. With a strong focus on supporting the individual dietary requirements of elite athletes, the company has become an integral part of Team Ireland’s journey.
Welcoming the announcement, OFI Commercial Director Catherine Tiernan said:
“We are delighted to extend our relationship with Gourmet Food Parlour through to LA 2028. Nutrition is a cornerstone of performance, and having a trusted partner who understands the demands of Olympic athletes is invaluable. Gourmet Food Parlour’s commitment to quality, variety and athlete-centred catering has made them a key part of the Team Ireland family, and we are excited to continue this journey together.”
Lorraine Heskin, CEO of Gourmet Food Parlour, added:
“We are incredibly proud to continue our partnership with the Olympic Federation of Ireland through to LA 2028. Since 2022, it has been an honour to support Team Ireland on their journey, and we look forward to fuelling and celebrating their success throughout this Olympic cycle. At Gourmet Food Parlour, we share the values of dedication, excellence and teamwork, and we’re excited to stand alongside Ireland’s athletes as they chase their dreams on the world stage.”
This extension reinforces the shared commitment of both the OFI and Gourmet Food Parlour to ensuring Team Ireland athletes have the support they need to perform at their very best on the global stage.
