This Meilleur Ouvrier de France pork butcher proposes in this beautiful shop on the rue Caulaincourt delicious pâtés en croûte: pâté Pantin, pâté de Houdan... each one more tasty than the other. Also in the spotlight, pig rillettes with Espelette chilli pepper, a garlic sausage of anthology and a superb press of foie gras. Nice delicatessen section too. The big advantage: all the delicatessen products are nitrite-free, with no additives or preservatives. The team's welcome is adorable. A high-flying address where it's good to go.

Christophe Vasseur is an adorable boy, cheerful, passionate and talented. Commercial in fashion, he left behind everything to get a CAP in bakery and realise his dream. His ancient style shop is decorated with coasters, rustic ceiling drawings that dates as far as the year 1889 and the tables are decorated with ancient copper moulds. It is lovely and it perfectly corresponds to the spirit of the boss: tradition in modernity. He researched ancient recipes and adapted them to today's style. All breads are baked on stone, as in the past, this is what gives them the flat bottom and the thick crust which guarantees excellent preservation. He invented gastro bread like the Rabelais for foie gras, apple Pagnol for Vacherin. His «Pain des Amis» is a very flat bread, very crusted, the apple turnover is topped with apple and no compote, and as for its brioche with orange blossom, it is inspired by a recipe from North Africa. He thinks of stopping the French loaves so as to make only bread made from ancient and rare flour.

Always elegant, right in the heart of the ^6th arrondissement, the Saint-Germain market reopened its doors in 2017 after a major transformation that in no way detracted from the beauty of the place. The work has restored the market's architectural credentials, and the shops on site (greengrocers, fishmongers, cheesemongers...) now benefit from a site that's as functional as it is beautiful. Food markets, grocery stores and other major brands are open 7 days a week, with shorter opening hours on Sundays. A lovely whiff of neighborhood life.

The famous Breton chef Olivier Roellinger has hung up his apron, but not his desire for exoticism. This spice enthusiast opened this Parisian shop with his wife where, as in Cancale and Saint-Malo, the two other shops, he brings to life scents and flavours from all over the world: spices, chillies, peppers, vanillies, sea flowers, oils and condiments, as well as a few sweets. The proposed mixtures sublimate the meats, fishes and vegetables to which they can be subtly associated. The website offers everything that can be found in the shop. It's absolutely fabulous, and you'll be surprised to find that combining spices is a real art of living.

The first Pierre Hermé boutique was opened in Tokyo in 1998. The second one on rue Bonaparte was opened in 2001. Since then, it has been an undeniable success. The macaroons of this star pastry chef make even the most fashion-conscious ladies swoon: on the one hand, the "Infiniment" (vanilla, lemon, chocolate, pistachio...), on the other hand the "Signature" (Mogador, Chloé...). As for the pastries, the creations are divided into two categories: the unavoidable ones, such as the Ispahan (rose, raspberry, lychee) and the 2000 leaves, and the cakes according to the seasons. You can also enjoy a coffee at Café Pierre Hermé, on the other side of rue Bonaparte, at 61.

Welcome to this small piece of Spain in the heart of the 7th arrondissement! In a typical decor, this warm establishment bears the name of a famous Spanish ham that comes from a pig essentially fed with acorns. In addition to a beautiful Spanish charcuterie, you can buy there oils, canned fish and various Iberian tapas wich are delicious. Near the grocery counter, the restaurant corner with beautiful high tables with stools allows to eat on site if you want it. But for more space, a very beautiful basement room awaits you as well. The lastest thing of the restaurant is the Burger Iberico. It is a 100% Spanish recipe: a grilled chopped steak of presa Bellota a la plancha, a homemade salsa concocted with a crushed tomato and Espelette pepper jelly, a few salad leaves, sliced pieces of paleta (shoulder of Iberian ham Bellota) and a slice of manchego. But so many other Spanish delicacies await you on the spot… Nothing to say, Bellota Bellota^® Eiffel Tower is really a safe value for lovers of Iberian food!

This is where the L'éclair de Génie adventure began. By the end of 2023, the brand launched by Christophe Adam had three outlets: this one, the one at Galeries Lafayette and L'Eclair de Génie Café in Montmartre. It's hard to describe the whole range, which is recognizable by its flashy colors, but we guarantee it's worth the detour! A (very small) preview? At Christmas 2023, for example, you could snap up a boxed set of dark chocolate-peanut and Madagascar vanilla-caramel éclairs... We'll let you discover the rest in store.

It cannot be said that the capital lacks coffee shops, for the sake of caféinomanes. One of the most popular addresses is the Starbucks and its many facilities. One of them is drawn into the 2nd arrondissement. Set on the beautiful terrace of the Établissement establishment or inside under the beautiful moulures of the places, you can enjoy your coffee in the "Opera district" mode. A beautiful frame, good coffee and a hair service, difficult to play fine mouths. If not due to price, a cold shower offered by the house…

Rich of a family history, sketched a little more than 60 years ago by Raymond Berthillon (deceased in 2014), the famous Maison Berthillon is an ice cream parlour and tea room on rue Saint-Louis-en-l'Ile. The work, now done by the new generation, gives birth to creations that are a marvel of flavors and balance. Note: the Berthillon house makes a point of using natural products (milk, fresh cream, eggs, fruits...). It remains one of the best places in Paris to appreciate artisanal know-how.

Amorino, a true Italian glacier, uses manufacturing processes from generation to generation. The first shop, opened in 2002 on Saint-Louis island, made many Small. At Amorino, all materials are imported from Italy. The ice is made from whole milk, eggs, sugar and natural flavourings, fruit and even organic products. They are invariably served by spatula, pots or cornet of different sizes in flower form with, in choice, twenty fragrances, which vary depending on the seasons. Among the specialties of the house: La, a chocolate cream and hazelnuts or the Amaretto with a delicious almond biscuit. Amorino also thinks of winter months, when freezing is felt, you can indulge in hot chocolates or simply good chocolate sweets.

Some like him, others love him, and as if his title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France received in 2000 was not enough, some go as far as describing him as "Rodin of chocolate". It must be said that his sculptures are bold and absolutely wonderful, he even recreated a cobblestone of May 68 to mark the 40th anniversary. He dares new mixtures - sometimes 14 products assembled in one creation - that delight the palate. He combines textures and aesthetics. Patrick Roger is also a master of taste who works  in his chocosphere! He imagines everything in his workshop in Sceaux where he transforms chocolate into wonderful sweets or into giant pieces of 80 kilograms.

Welcome to the oldest food market in Paris, at the corner of rue de Bretagne and rue Charlot! The atmosphere here is rather family, bobo version. The main food trades are represented, with the presence of some organic producers and oyster farmers. However, there are few fruits and vegetables, and prices are rather high. People come to Les Enfants-Rouges to shop as much as to eat. The choice is varied, with stands offering Moroccan, Italian, Asian and Lebanese specialities... Some of them can be tasted on the spot, but you should know that places are expensive, especially at weekends.

Fine grocery products and recipes from authentic Italian cuisine at this caterer for prestigious addresses. In the furnaces, Antonio, Italian of Calabria who for more than thirty years enjoy fresh homemade pasta, antipasti, original Italian cooked dishes, desserts… The house offers dining trays, buffets and cocktails. You are quickly transported into the boot under the charm of this sunny kitchen.

In a recomposed 1950s mini classroom, George, the famous figure of the place, will take you on a journey: a journey back in time since his candies have an incredibly fine, evocative childhood flavor. Here, there is no room for chemical candies but ancient method, authentic product. But here, we also travel through the French provinces, because what we offer you here is a fairly faithful panorama of the best French creations: Charrex chestnut cream, Bourges chestnuts, candied fruits from Saint-Rémy-de-Provence: nothing is missing! There is always something going on here, and the welcome is not an empty word, don't hesitate.

Push the wooded door of this vintage wine cellar to discover, supported by Christophe Vidal and his acolytes, the very beautiful selection of whiskies combining with the most traditional Irish or Scottish whiskies to the exoticism of Japanese or Indian whiskies. By the way, you will also find some incredible French whiskies such as Michel Couvreur whiskies. There is also a selection to experiment with the unbelievable combinations of malts that have made the famous brand at very reasonable prices. The cellar of Tolbiac also invites you to regular tasting evenings, throughout the year, to share, to discover, to meet and to taste!

The name is really well found. Volontaires, because this organic and eco-responsible store is located near the eponymous metro station, and for the proactive, militant side. And bulk, because here, no pasta in 500g packets or almonds in plastic bags... Everything is in bulk. Finally, the maximum of possible references. Besides fruits, vegetables and fresh products, Imane also offers everyday products (cosmetics, drugs...). More widely, she encourages her customers to consume well and better, in particular by organizing workshops.

You love cheese and are tired of basic cheese boards of Parisian brasseries? You've come to the right place! Le Claque Fromage is truly an original address for those who are passionate about cheese because you are here in a true small cheese factory run by the nice Mathieu, a specialist who knows the subject by heart! Thanks to him, you will discover a multitude of quality cheeses. And good news, cheese boards are at a very soft price and you can even complement them by a glass of wine. The ideal address for a gourmet early evening and perhaps more if you want to make a big deal out of this. 

As well as offering creative pastries to eat in or take away, this establishment also offers pastry classes. Customers can order their products via the café's website or through delivery services such as UberEats and Deliveroo. For those looking for an original gift, Café Michalak also offers gift vouchers for 3-hour classes with a Michalak Masterclass chef.
