Exotic delicatessens Paris

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!

Tang Frères is synonymous with Asian supermarkets. It's the benchmark in its field. A little history: this supermarket on avenue d'Ivry, founded in 1976 by two Chinese brothers from Laos, was the first, the best-known, the biggest and the best-stocked. Since then, the Tang family has opened others, in the ^13th arrondissement (avenue de Choisy) and beyond (in Noisiel, Vitry-sur-Seine, Pantin...). "What you don't find at Tang Frères, you're unlikely to find anywhere else: that's because it doesn't exist!

Above all, this is an Italian restaurant that is also a caterer. Rocco Rinaldi brings every taste of his country to this district of ministries. His card is traditional and the pasta is of course his specialty. The most of this restaurant is to have a small radius to buy what you own an Italian meal. The products offered are of high quality, for example, you can buy an excellent hamburgers that changes the Parisian wand with its high hydration rate and the presence of olive oil, to make delicious sandwiches. Or let yourself be tempted by Italian cheeses or cold meats. Please note that you are welcome here with great kindness.

This épicerie is not always in spite of the reception that sometimes lacks heat, especially when there is the world and it is often the case that the midi turns in front of the window… In addition to Central European Yiddish products, Russian gastronomy is in good position. Mini-klops, schmaltzherings, cooked herring or white cheese cakes are traditional and tasty dishes. Florence Khan even wrote a book on Ashkénaze Jewish cuisine.

Built around a bar, the designer boutiques play the role of meeting with Japanese culture (library, music, ikebana…). The complete card (more than 80 references) offers sushi, sashimi, maki, salads, skewers, yakitori and desserts.

For over 20 years, La Maison de la Pâte has been transporting you to the flavours of the South, in the country of the sun. From Provence to Italy, we discover the gastronomy products at midday. Sausages, wines, pasta, olive oils… Some products like the coming olives, the spreading of Nice and especially the olive oil Alziari, made at Nice are recognised references worldwide. As for Italian products, they are not yet: very fresh antispati, cheeses, meats, groceries with olive oils, wines, balsamic vinegar, tuna, tomato sauces and pasta - ravioli is excellent!

A large blue brand, less discreet than its competitor Tang, but we find the same lively and teeming atmosphere of Asian stores. When you enter on the left, you see the sauces and side dishes: Nuoc-mam, nam pla, oyster sauce, chili sauce, soy sauce (available in 5-litre jerrycans!), Worcestshire sauce from Léa & Perrins, etc. On the right, a large frozen food section that is really worth it. There are sorbets with exotic flavours, but also shrimps, skewers, nems and various steamed ravioli sold in bags of 50 at unbeatable prices. For rice, there is plenty to choose from with the famous 50 kg bags of butterfly rice, broken rice, noodles, including Japanese noodles, teas, canned drinks and instant soups. An entire section is dedicated to spices and condiments, and alcohols are well represented, so avoid French wine, which is not of high quality. For all fruit and vegetables, the choice is breathtaking. The problem: labels, not translated, and salespeople who are only moderately French-speaking.

This supermarket offers excellent fruits of fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs and Japanese products that are not found in the rest of the neighborhood. Display is a real desire to immerse itself in exoticism. Despite its name, it is a little crushed by the two big competitors Tang Frères and Paris Store. So don't hesitate to change your sidewalk to get a tour at Big Store, maybe a little more expensive than its competitors but you won't be décu from this little trip…
