Gourmet products local specialties and wines Paris 3rd 75003

In the heart of the Marais district, just a stone's throw from the Georges Pompidou Center, this small shop, open every day, has all the makings of a big one. Le Repaire de Bacchus offers all the features for which it is renowned: a wide range of wines and spirits, carefully selected by a team of experts and enthusiasts. Last-minute dinner? A gift to make? There's no shortage of advice here.

Welcome to the oldest food market in Paris! The atmosphere here is more family-friendly, bobo style. All the main food trades are represented, with the presence of a few organic producers and oyster farmers. Few fruits and vegetables, however, and prices are at the higher end of the range. People come to Les Enfants-Rouges as much to shop as to eat. The choice is varied, with stands offering Moroccan, Italian, Asian and Lebanese specialties... Some of which you can sample on the spot.

Marie-Dominique Bradford is a professional with a degree in oenology, who has been selecting wines for years from the best winegrowers in France. She has set up a unique subscription-based sales system. Every month, she offers a surprise appointment with three different wines to match the seasons (from €26.90 per month). Bottles are accompanied by a tasting sheet with food and wine pairing advice.

Jacques Genin's setting is very uncluttered: white walls blend with brick columns. Here, we dare to mix and match, with a single credo: the extreme quality of our cocoa. One of the house's specialties is the millefeuille, prepared à la minute in the laboratory overlooking the boutique. Available in chocolate, praline or caramel, not forgetting the lemon tart or the assortment of six chocolates that is sure to tempt all gourmets.

The Barav is a restaurant, a bar and a cellar. A small fine grocery store is filled with a few very well selected and high quality products. We will only talk about the cellar which has about 300 references from the vineyard of France and the world from 4 €… It is a cellar that moves: tasting 2 times a month, meetings with wine growers, exceptional operations, loyalty cards… It is kept by passionate people and must be guided by supplies.

The wave of organic, fresh produce stores direct from producers continues unabated. Launched in 2014, La Récolte is already a household name, with six recognizably blue-fronted outlets in 2023, including this one. Here, you can shop the whole range of produce, including fruit and vegetables, meat, charcuterie, cheese, bread, fish, wine and other beverages... The little extra: dishes prepared before your very eyes every day with ingredients available on the shelves. And to enjoy at home!

We knew the restaurant Les Tartes Kluger, today there is the counter, installed in an ancient horse horse right next to Rose Bakery. This is the new, épurée point of sale of Catherine Kugler. Prepared with seasonal products, all salted or sweet pies are made on site and house. From the counter, you can see the preparation of the pies that you are ordering or you are looking for. 6,50 € per salt share and 5 € for sweet. The 25 € brunch is quite correct.

It's the network's largest boutique: Le Repaire de Bacchus on Rue de Bretagne, just opposite the Marché des Enfants Rouges, has plenty to offer. Thousands of references are on offer, each one carefully selected. Here you'll find a wine to suit every taste and budget, all advised by a team of experts. And there's no shortage of spirits, too. Open every day, the store is a must for many locals.

The G20 Grenier Saint Lazare supermarket is a local store. It offers a wide range of general and organic foodstuffs, as well as drugstore products. The store offers several services such as in-store shopping, in-store collection and home delivery. The store also offers promotions and a loyalty program.

Sablé, everyone knows. But Fiona Leluc's sablé comes from the common. This young woman, whose father has a very well-known Lebanese table, left the world of finance for the softer of the pastry. From Lebanon it has kept taste and oriental flavours, but with a Breton husband unable to escape salt and sablé. So why not drop this little cake to make it the flagship product of its pastry? It's a good idea because it's off from its sablé sablé, which accompanies tea or coffee. And its sablé inspired by the Paris-Brest, where the very fine praline cream is topped with a walnut of slightly roasted piedmont? A pleasure… We fear that the fruit of passion, the banana boom, etc., all these sanded, very sweet, are fondants, light and their leaking hearts. They are either individually or in a more family-friendly format, sometimes in flower form. Another nice surprise: an extremely perfumed lemon cake. In this adventure, Fiona led his sister Fatina, a photographer who has an eye for the garden. The bakery has a boudoir where, on the other hand, we do not boycott our pleasure…

Biocoop, a famous brand in the organic sector, was created by epicurean Fabrice Sarfati. On the shelves, you'll find quality products from organic production methods that respect the environment. The highly professional team will be happy to advise and guide you. Fruits and vegetables are fresh and tasty, and the well-stocked grocery store is a real source of culinary inspiration. The range is comprehensive, from fresh produce to cosmetics, aromatherapy, and bakery.

Kawa Coffee is very popular with coffee lovers. Here, no pods or packaging products that are harmful to the environment and sometimes even to the flavours, but only coffee roasted on-site. The beans, carefully selected and fully traceable, come in a range of roasting methods, aromatic profiles, seasonal coffees, and limited editions. Last but not least, you can buy appliances here, as well as tea, to vary your pleasures. The welcome is both friendly and professional: you can tell they know their stuff!

This is a benchmark brand for rum, with a name that cleverly plays on the words "aroma" and "rum". Its ambition is to highlight the richness of this beverage, produced all over the world. In all, over 500 references, with the occasional gin, cognac, cachaça (the basic ingredient of the caipirinha)... Frankly, in Paris, it's hard to find an equivalent! An address where rum lovers will undoubtedly find something to their liking, and which regularly organizes tasting workshops.

So design, so splendid, this Panelled pastry is definitely in the rays that will make your guests feel. Macaroons, pies, desserts, glass desserts are indeed design objects and trends. A treat for your eyes as the decoration of the boutique, very modern and refined. In an astonishing word. Try them, especially those in chocolate: get mad! Flip of the coin, prices a little higher than elsewhere. Counsel: order a cake for your birthday, you won't be disappointed. You can also order by phone.

This wine cellar is named Divvino with two "v" in reference to the famous expression "In vino veritas" (in wine lies the truth). There are 1,200 wine references, including 200 Italian ones. It offers a good selection of wines by the glass with the possibility of snacking on some tapas in the main room. The jewel of these places is the stone basement, a restored 16th-century cellar where tastings and events take place. You will probably meet the owner, Marina Giuberti, a Brazilian sommelier of Italian origin whose motto is "Life is too short to drink bad wine"; written on the facade.

Jeanne Galinié, a former nurse from the Loire, took over the winery in 2008. It is she who uncovers her producers. Well done, and rather natural wines selected in all the regions of France, from Languedoc to the Loire, not forgetting Burgundy, Alsace and the Rhône. Small areas or great names, regardless of the reputation provided that there is the pleasure of discovery and tasting that cannot go without sharing! It is good to choose here bottles to bring together friends, champagnes and spirits without forgetting the fine grocery products: fruit juice, jams, honey, spreads, oils and vinegar.

Created in 2006, Nysa has 47 stores in Paris and the inner suburbs. The particularity of Nysa, compared to traditional wine merchants, is that the bottles are presented as jewellery in a simple and chic decoration. In addition, the brand only works with winegrowers who practice sustainable agriculture and use natural methods to make their wines. On every occasion, its bottle with an evocative name: "pasta pizza", "between girlfriends", "escape", "half-time", etc. Prices are available for all budgets. Saturday is the day of free tasting and regularly the winegrowers are present to "explain" their wines.

Alexander Li's cellar is an elegant boutique in the heart of the 3rd arrondissement Chinese district, and on the storefront the name is also registered in Chinese. The selection focuses on a relevant choice of wines of Bordeaux vintage wines and Burgundy and many fine wines. Everything is carefully presented in crates and the council of the merchant is advised. A few bottles of champagne and white wines are always at the expense for last minute soifs. Alexandre Li offers oenology courses and organizes tastings around charcuterie and quality cheeses, as he also sells some small producers'products.

Not far from the hustle and bustle of the Marais, in the middle of the street of wholesalers of all kinds, Mon Epicerie Paris has just opened its doors. It's the brainchild of a Canadian vegan, who offers you a choice of finely selected products. From aperitif to dessert, you'll find unusual products such as 100% vegan champagne, Rawmembert (raw, gluten-free Camembert), chorizo, merguez sausages, as well as ice creams, chocolate... The store isn't big, but it's pleasantly located, with a loyalty program and a warm welcome. The owner knows her products and will be able to guide you. Vegans or not, be curious and come and try!

It's no longer a wine shop, it's an experience: if La Nouvelle Cave has a classic name, the location, right in the heart of the Marais, is already less so. Pink and grey, airy, it's a welcome change from the piles of crates and boxes. It's also the chance to take part in regular workshops, led of course by experts, and covering a wide spectrum, from wine to beer to cocktails. This is definitely a place like no other, where a warm welcome is not an empty word. Definitely worth a try.
