Among the shops, you will find a Belgian chocolate maker, a "milk bar" with ice cream, The Highland Cake Fairy shop or the café Chez Paulo which offers excellent pastries.

Climb on the first floor of the building, it's here! This tea room is such a reference in the city that there is often room full. Waitresses in white deck are between tables and everything is more than noises of cutlery and conversations.

The French know too little, and too little, about British cheeses. Yet the British, let alone the Scots, have excellent cheeses. The Mellis cheese makers are more than convinced of this and offer high quality farmhouse cheeses in their shops, matured to perfection.

You will be as surprised as you are pleasantly surprised. A must-see discovery!

Located in Granville Arcade, this shopping arcade, originally opened in 1937, was almost completely forgotten by Londoners. Once London's largest gallery, then a Caribbean market in the 1960s, it was neglected from 1990 onwards, until 2009, when the Spacemakers association relaunched the project and once again filled the gallery's stalls and small shops. Here, you can enjoy the beautiful Art Deco architecture and browse the vintage jewelry and clothing boutiques. A few gourmet addresses to boot.

This little shop is a little set back from Beauly and the road. Crazy Highland cows, you'll have to stop there to meet Jamie, Katie and Heather.

Visitors are welcome here and even warmly welcomed. Don't be afraid of the tourist trap, the owners are really in the process of pleasing and sharing their love of Scotland.

Hilly vineyard of five hectares, producer of a quality Welsh wine (Pinot Noir, Rondo or Phoenix grape varieties). We take the opportunity to stroll through the vineyard (especially in autumn, the colours are magnificent). Or to discover the winemaking processes and learn more about the Welsh specificities thanks to the passion of the owners Robb and Nicola Merchant. Although the country is not famous for its wine, it has some nice surprises in store for the curious. You can even adopt a vine and receive a bottle of this wine later.

A smiling and warm welcome awaits you from the Ty Te. Traditional cakes and homemade rolls, cream teas, ice creams... Any excuse is good to enjoy this small friendly tea room, where you can hear Welsh speaking.

As in many places in Wales, a good afternoon tea is also served for snack time, not too expensive and simple.

You can taste the famous Pwll Mawr ("Big Pit Cheddar") at this address, a cheese that has matured... at the bottom of the mine! If you like cheese, don't forget to test it, this kind of cheese is quite rare! It is also located at the Big Pit store.

They will also find all the accessories related to the tasting of this so scottish spirit!

Just off Portobello Road, this large grocery store is all about organic produce (sourced from a farm in Gloucestershire), which appeals enormously to the local middle-class clientele, who sometimes find it hard to get a table. Unfortunately, the prices charged are extremely high, and we're sometimes surprised at the marketing success of organic food. Nevertheless, it's a beautiful store, and it has to be said that everything makes you want to eat. The address also doubles as a café.

The trendy alternative to Spitalfields and Camden markets since 2004. On weekdays, the Sunday Up Market looks like a disused parking lot, but on Sundays, everything comes to life.

In the basement, you'll find thrift shops and other vintage treasures.

In the popular Ladbroke Grove district, right next to chic Notting Hill, the Lisboa patisserie is an institution. People line up at all hours for a decent espresso and, above all, for the tasty pasteis de nata, small cakes filled with cream. The few tables are crowded from the first coffee in the morning by the old Portuguese locals who meet there to discuss the passing of time. A place that may not look like much, but is legendary for Portuguese pastries worthy of those made in Lisbon!

A real Ali Baba's cave, nestled among the city's historic buildings, for food lovers looking for good products! A soft smoke seizes our nostrils as soon as we enter the shop. Mimolette, Serrano ham, fudges, breadsticks, the variety of artisanal products is great. One watchword: long live European gastronomy! The Cambridge Cheese Company's cheeses are available in many pubs and restaurants throughout the city to our delight.

The perfect place to buy local local products. The small shop held by a young team also serves a pleasant lunch.

In a brick building that looks a bit like a train station, the Smithfield Market is a place that is a bit out of fashion. And it is in particular what makes its charm. You can find a lot of second-hand objects: toys, carpets, computers, but also a pet shop, plants, coffee machines, books, camping equipment... In short, absolutely everything, from the necessary to the superfluous. An ideal address in any case to try to find the good deal or simply to stroll around and soak up a real local atmosphere.

A great wine and cheese shop for all French people nostalgic for the country, run by a dynamic and friendly team. There are even some very good loaves of bread, a delicious reminder of our dear Poilâne bread. The products are imported from small Italian or French producers, of high quality, to whom the team regularly visits. In the evening, the grocery store transforms into a cosy and charming wine bar, with wines by the glass and boards of cheese and charcuterie. A very good spot for an aperitif, a real one, the French way.

Cadwaladers is an address not to be missed! We're making ice cream right in front of you. Criccieth has been the birthplace of this renowned Welsh ice cream brand since 1927.

After graduating from the School Artisan Food, several experiences with great British cheesemakers and various farms, he decided to start his own project and funded it through a crowdfunding platform. He now offers the first raw milk blue cheese in Northern Ireland, called Young Buck and made in County Down. A connoisseur of his trade and very nice, his cheese factory is worth a visit for the amateurs.
