The best specialty grocery stores New Aquitaine

Cyril Pansard and Adrien Talbot have opened a first-of-its-kind grocery store in La Rochelle, offering only bulk products! Located just a few steps from the market, the pretty store is sure to attract the locals. The concept? Everything in bulk! The aim is clearly to limit the impact of consumption on the environment, reduce waste and packaging, and give pride of place to local producers. As you enter, let yourself be seduced by the old-fashioned charm of the place, with its large jars containing spices (sweet paprika, turmeric, cloves), organic herbal teas with evocative names (Joie de vivre) and, for those with a sweet tooth, organic chocolate, hazelnut praline, nougat and gingerbread. The products are organic or from sustainable agriculture, as evidenced by the flours: green lentils, chickpeas, spelt... You'll even find washing powder, stain remover, dishwashing liquid... And don't forget to bring your own containers so you can pour in the quantities you need. This grocery store is more than an alternative to the distribution networks, it's an attempt to change lifestyles.

This boutique of spices and aromatic plants, carefully selected by a herbalist's laboratory and blended by your hostess, offers over 150 spices. You'll find a blend for every dish you want to try. Savory, pepper, salt, paprika, garlic, shallot, sweet pepper, massalé, ginger... tickle your nose. You'll also find teas, herbal teas, coffees, fruits, spices and aromatics, jams, honey, arranged rums... A range of over 1000 products from the Basque Country and around the world, from nature to your plate!

Fabio Iaconelli's grocery store is a charming, warm and welcoming business. It sells Italian products: fresh pasta, cold meats and cheeses. But that's not all! You can also enjoy them on the spot or at home, as Fabio and Armelle prepare tasty dishes using products from their own store. You'll also find wines, world beers and arranged rums. Fabio also organizes sensory tasting workshops and themed evenings. Sunday brunch.

The smell is inimitable, and perceptible from the moment you enter this store selling cured meats and specialties from the Basque region. It's hard to choose between the various hams, sausages and chorizos, or between the prepared dishes: veal axoa, cassoulet, chipirons, salmis de palombe, poulet basquaise, piperade, confit, magret... Pair with a good artisan cheese, Irouléguy wine, manzana verde or patxaran beer. For sweetness, succumb to the divine jams and jellies or the excellent Aldudes butter.

By updating this guide, we were very sad to learn the disappearance of Lambert's Fish fish plant in Saint-Loubès, one of the few lamproie canning in Bordeaux. Not discouraged so we have come to browse to find the cannery that is still preparing according to the traditional recipe this puts an end and sought. We found it in Jugazan, within a family cannery that occupies me and Mrs Dufour and their two charming girls. Here, they perpetuate the lamprey recipe (leeks fried in duck fat, lamproie blood sauce, Saint-Emilion wine, dumplings and spice mixture), but not only. This small company manufactures locally and handcrafted a considerable number of good mamé recipes. They are carefully preserved before joining the wine cellars. Shad in natural terms, sheep cooked in ingots, salmis salmis, ceps braised in oil, foie gras of whole duck, wine rooster, guts and calf's feet, soup of vegetables in duck magret, soup of beans, etc. and a range drawn from the mark of Gold: liver of poultry and pork, duck to green pepper, campagne of countryside, rabbit in Cognac, etc. A. to discover for oneself or to offer. Girondines addresses where to find the preserved Im-Dor-Land: Large and medium surfaces (E. Leclerc, Carrefour, Hyper Champion, Super U, Intermarché). Fines fine from Bordeaux: DUCS DUKES C. Cials Grand-Men 05 56 51 69 34 ・ CATERER'S HOUSE 27, Rue des Moat 05 56 92 92 29 ・ LA RUCHE DES GOURMETS 32, rue Jules-Guesde 05 56 92 69 27.

The concept behind La Mesure grocery store is simple: we choose the quantity we need ourselves. Liquid or solid, just what we need! No need to buy and throw away useless and polluting over-packaging.

The grocery store, which has already been in business for 8 years, now also offers a delicatessen made in the Basque Country.
