Just a stone's throw from the Place du Marché Saint-Honoré, the Écume fishmonger's and restaurant offers the best seafood in Paris: lobsters, scallops, whiting, sole, sea bass and magnificent seafood platters. Would you like to have lunch or dinner there? Take the time to sit down in the dining room and taste the dish of your choice: a dozen oysters, shrimps, whelks or an Atlantic plate, all accompanied by a glass of wine. The decoration, very maritime, will take you on the waves of the Atlantic, and the background music will rock you with the cries of seagulls: so exotic that you may forget that you are in Paris!

Angelina is probably one of the most famous Parisian tea rooms. The "old lady" celebrated its 110th anniversary in 2013. We come here first of all for its "Africain"; a thick, hot and creamy chocolate accompanied by a small pot of whipped cream, as well as for its Mont Blanc, a meringue filled with whipped cream covered with vermicelli chestnut cream. As a stylist, the pastry chef unveils his collections twice a year. Recently, he scrolled on his podium Trocadéro, the combination of milk chocolate with hazelnut crunch. The setting has retained its charm with its large paintings and gilded mirrors. Angélina also has her own shop where you can buy a wide range of sweets to enjoy at home or while strolling around Paris.

K-Mart is a grocery store offering a large choice of Korean and Japanese products. The shelves are well stocked, with a large fruit and vegetable area, fish and meat stalls where products delicately arranged in vacuum-packed trays are rigorously aligned. All the classics are of course there: noodles, rice, sauces of all kinds, as well as many varieties of miso, tofu, onigri and kimchi (a fermented and spicy Korean cabbage). Fans of Asian cuisine will be happy to find here more confidential products such as mentaiko, made of cod marinated eggs, shizo and sesame leaves, Korean mushrooms and green meat radish.

This shop open in July 2008 is exclusively devoted to macaroons and chocolates as its name suggests. It is a small candy box in dark and cool brown shades, decorated with colourful and bright tiles that recall packaging. The macaroons are designed in various flavours: vanilla, amber, pink, jasmine, cinnamon etc., and some innovations like macaroon with wasibi and grapefruit comfit or chocolate "pure origin". Chocolate is transformed in to sweets and chocolate bars. A ganache bitter chocolate and nougatine with cocoa beans coated with black chocolate fall among the Choc Chocolat specialties. The Bonbon chocolate macaroon (a praline macaroon, chocolate and paste of melting almond coated with black chocolate) is an innovation. You can also buy fruit jellies, jams, dry biscuits etc. It is at Drugstore Publicis, one of the most mythical places of Champs-Élysées that Pierre Hermé setup his last shop, Macaroons & Chocolates where he offers his collection of rare macaroons and chocolates. With the new Pierre Hermé e- shop, home deliveries of macaroons are available in less than 48 hours. Chocolate boxes between €20 and €60.

In this Japanese district of Paris, this Franco-Japanese bakery belongs to the owner of the restaurant Aki at 11 on the same street, hence its name. There are pastries, cakes and French breads, but the interest is to come and buy Japanese products. Among the cakes: matcha (green tea) and azuki (red bean) pies, matcha flash, etc. For lunch salads or bentos: breaded pork, chicken, takoyaki, yakisoba (fried noodles), etc. The sandwich made of Japanese sandwich bread, breaded pork (tonkatsu) and raw vegetables with a touch of mayonnaise is really delicious. A gourmet address that is out of the ordinary.

This address is simply a delight! It offers a restaurant, bakery, pastry, tea and catering. Every desire can be satisfied with Manon! Located on the same premises where Robespierre lived, this gourmet centre is a paradise for savoury and mostly sweet flavours. Before going to work, people like to have breakfast or lunch which, without being very gastronomic suitably falls on the lunch menu at €13,50 at this place which is unbeatable in the district or at teatime. How would you resist the cakes that attract you as you walk into Manon's setting? They are all so beautiful and will tempt everyone; even the less gourmand. The prices are also affordable!

In a classical th century decor, Ladurée installed his Marquis. Shades of grey, beige and white, awakened by silver and steel, dominate. The walls are lined with an infinity of Bordeaux leaves, the ceiling is punctuated with plush stucco adorned with Murano chandeliers. A beautiful Carrara marble counter is held in front of a large library. On the other hand, the soil carried out in a grey concrete is more modern. There are many different shapes of the Marquis and Marie-Antoinette appears in different shapes… in this new setting, the chocolate and pastries of the Marquis fly the star. The gourmands can register for the Chocolate Workshops.

American cheesecake needs no introduction. But how does it differ from Japanese cheesecake, the specialty of this designer patisserie a stone's throw from rue Sainte-Anne, the capital's Japanese stronghold? In a nutshell, the version from the Empire of the Rising Sun is lighter, airier, less sweet; and it doesn't have a cookie base. It's more like a cheesecake soufflé. Takumi cheesecakes are made right before your eyes. There are six versions: raspberry, black sesame, matcha, yuzu, chocolate and plain.

This tea room opened in 1980 by Toraya, the famous Japanese pastry brand, is a small wonder even if the decor has been redone in a more Western spirit. Nevertheless, it remains one of the most refined places in the Capital, as do the staff, very chic and a little stuffy. The Parisian branch, redesigned by Sylvain Dubuisson, offers a relaxing atmosphere that perfectly matches the traditional pastry shop (wagashi in Japanese). Made from rice flour, wheat, agar-agar and beans, the Japanese pastry shop, created a thousand years ago, is a hymn to the beauty of nature, and Toraya also offers delicacies that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons. In spring, you must succumb to Tô-Zakura, a small flowery truffle of white and pink vermicelli, in summer you melt for hana-ôgi, a range in white jelly, in autumn you get enthusiastic about kozue, and in winter you warm up with a usagi-man, a small white rabbit. Inseparable from pastry, Toraya offers a wide range of green teas, including the divine gyokuro.

You will find in this friendly shop nearly 500 references of beers: French suds of course, but also Belgian, Swiss, English, Dutch, Spanish, Swedish, Danish... At the head of the shop, real enthusiasts willing to "democratize craft beers from quality productions". For the amateurs, tastings are regularly organized by brewers. A good address for fans eager to find something new! The brand has two other stores in Paris: 44 rue des Boulangers (^5th) and 25 rue Legendre (17th).

The Small Pans is the fruit of a team that prepares on the order of family recipes handed over to the taste of the day and sometimes original. It's cooked like home with fresh seasonal products and balanced menus. No need to break the head to keep the pot when others do it even better… On the map every week more than 15 dishes based on meat, fish, vegetables, soups, recipes etc. Example of the spring map: Italian roquette and Parmesan soup, fricassee of spring calf, rabbit to coriander and lemon with pan of small vegetables, mangue compote, petite, little lemon foam, etc. One can order up to J -2, that is, Wednesday 18 h for delivery on Friday or Friday 18 h for delivery on Tuesday. You then choose your rates, date, place and time of delivery. The dishes keep 4 days in the refrigerator.

Le Petit Flottes is a multi-faceted place: a restaurant backed by a boutique, all run by a team that calls itself "nice". And it is true! As far as welcome and good mood are concerned, this merry band has no equal! Thus, it is here that Parisians meet at lunchtime or at the aperitif to taste good small home-made dishes: pastas prepared on demand; sandwiches, salads and burgers... Without forgetting the delightful menu of regressive desserts (brioche perdue with caramel...).

Definitely one of the capital's best cheese shops. Right in the heart of Paris, a stone's throw from the Rue de Rivoli, Ambre and Thibault offer you a selection of cheeses as wide as they are hearty, and with a wide range of possibilities. From the purchase of a small piece to whole trays, not forgetting the creation of boxes for your picnics, nothing is missing. Delicatessen products are also on offer, as are regular appointments with a sommelier, for example. All in all, a lively place with many possibilities.

Nestled a stone's throw from the Louvre, behind the imposing porte cochère of a 1717 mansion, Distillerie de L'Arbre Sec is Paris' first micro-distillery dedicated to gin. Their gin, distilled on site in a Holstein still, is a skilful blend of rigorously selected plants, spices and flowers. Here, you can also take part in workshops to create your own gin using 12 mini-alambics, as well as tours of the workshop followed by a tasting session.
