Gourmet products local specialties and wines Perpignan

In the pedestrian Rue de la Cloche d'Or, behind a narrow storefront, you'll find a cheese "palace" offering no fewer than 120 different varieties. All come directly from small farmers throughout France, and you'll also find Iberian and British cheeses (cheddars, shiltons...), which deserve their place even in the land of cheese. You can enjoy them (to take away), in copious combinations of cheese platters (5 to choose from) + charcuterie from Aveyron or Iberia.

Jean-François and Laurence present highly aromatic, fine, elegant wines, made in the pure tradition of the region's representative grape varieties. This is one of the few wineries that is within walking distance of Perpignan. It is close to the city, yet far from it. The diversity of the wines of this domain is explained by the variety of the soils: the vines are planted on 3 types of soil: limestone on Calce, black schist in Espira de l'Agly and rolled pebbles around the domain. Finally, the other strong point of this domain is the reception in gites.

This cellar has the most well-stocked champagne corner in the department. But if its reputation was made around bubbles, one should not forget that the cellarman is a finder of exceptional wines. As he likes to say, he is the specialist of "artisan winemakers" in particular. What the Petit Futé will remember are the memorable themed evenings on one Thursday a month with the winegrowers for private tastings, by invitation. And every other Thursday, tasting evenings with tapas around the barrels laid out on the sidewalk.

The company's reputation is well established. You'll find dozens of sweet and savoury "cocas" - Catalan focaccias - each more appetizing than the last. You'll be warmly welcomed by Annie and Guy, who will show you the wealth of their local know-how. The list of specialties is as rich as the stories behind them. Le Meunier Catalan also offers a wide selection of rustic sourdough and organic breads. A must-visit address for a slice of gourmet goodness.

The list of winegrowers associated with the Caves du Roussillon is not very long, but it is above all very prestigious. Within this rigorous selection at domain prices, we find the tenors of the region, but also some lesser known domains. Not forgetting some Languedoc wines and a fine collection of spirits and sparkling wines. And at the Caves du Roussillon, the whole team always suggests you taste before making your choice. They don't hesitate to uncork a bottle to share their passion with you!

We love Chez Iris for its selection of the region's finest organic and natural wines, delicious cheeses and genuine artisanal charcuterie. This new boutique is part wine cellar, part delicatessen and part meeting place. The decor is superb and highlights all the nuggets to be tasted. All the products are selected like diamonds! Smiling and cheerful Iris, who knows everything there is to know about natural wine, welcomes you for an aperitif with friends, a tasting or simply to advise you. Bravo!

The Espinet butcher's shop has been a family affair for over 50 years. Know-how has been passed down from father to son, and David is proud to be one of the last butchers in Perpignan to cut his own carcasses. This craftsmanship pays off - you just have to look at the butcher's stall, not at it. The choice of product, but also the art of cutting, confides David: "I serve my customers as if I were serving myself". That's enough praise... As you can see, you're in the temple of good taste, the kind that's becoming rare and precious.

One name, 3 stores: on Place de la République, you'll find charcuterie, poultry and ready-made meals. 100 meters further on, in Rue Paratilla, you'll find the cheese shop, and just around the corner, the Italian delicatessen. For 35 years, Hélène has not only delighted you with her fine products, she also brightens our day with her inimitable smile. She's a lively, dynamic woman who listens to her customers and is supported by a highly competent team. Le Petit Futé met and fell in love with Circé la Magicienne! Gourmets, gastronomes and epicureans, here's your address!

Who doesn't know Cémoi chocolate? This group, which has been built up over two centuries around numerous family companies, has become the leading French chocolate maker, famous throughout the country for its little marshmallow bear. A video space explains the traceability of chocolate from the place of production, taking care of the quality of life of the planter by allowing small producers to live with dignity from their work, from the preservation of the environment to the transformation for a 100% French product.

One of the addresses that made the "rue des Senteurs" a legend in Perpignan. How can such a small shop hold so many treasures? More than 3,000 products are crammed into twenty square metres and a stall outside! Thousands of spices, dried fish, real soubressade from Majorca, dried fruit... and of course olives. Rare spices from the ends of the earth, concentrates of flavour also in small bottles. Professionals find here all the aromas and natural colourings to sublimate their dishes.

Pastry chef, chocolate maker, ice cream maker and world champion of the Dessert Trades, Olivier Bajard is the reference in the field of sweets. In his pastry school, training courses are offered to professionals, and on Saturdays, workshops and demonstrations for the general public (and children) led by great chefs. Learning is essential, but tasting is even more so when you go to the shop: mignardises, macaroons, assorted petits fours, ice creams and entremets are available in exquisite colours and flavours invented for each season.

Espi has been a real institution for more than 40 years. In the showcases, pastries always line up very chocolate creations, fruit mousses, pies, saint-honoré, colourful palette of macaroons... it is hard to choose where to start, everything is beautiful and tempting. However, it is a pity that the portions somewhat has decreased (but not the prices) since the venerable house has made by the excellent Confiserie du Tech. Chocolate and tourons displays, which are also "homemade", excite our greed. From 8:00 am, still warm pastries and bread freshly baked fill the shop. For those who have time, it is best to enjoy on the spot; the cosy and refined tea room or the terrace on the quai Vauban are perfectly suitable.

A real market with a food part at low prices, but above all, what makes its charm, is the clothes and street vendors side. A real Mediterranean atmosphere reigns on this market which is the largest in Perpignan. For the folklore, it is on Sunday. Bargains not to be missed, bargains, second-hand goods... The ideal place for a little Sunday visit and finally to sit down at a café terrace right next to it simply to watch the entertainment.

A successful conversion for this physics and chemistry teacher, who decided to take a new turn in his life. Laurent's beers are brewed with organic French malts and hops. Brewed on site, in the heart of Perpignan, the beers are unfiltered, unpasteurized and refermented in the bottle. As for alcohol content, the Boc is 5° for the white and 5.5° for the others. The best thing to do is to come and taste it directly at the brewery, a magical place where, between the clinking of glasses, good words and laughter flow.

Le Potager de Louis is a veritable Ali Baba's cave for vegetarians. More than a greengrocer, it's a boutique of happiness. Most of the fruit and vegetables are sourced locally from hard-working farmers or are organic. As for the rare pearls, they come from all over the world and are rigorously selected. What we love about this store is its village market feel (right in the center of Perpignan). The stalls are colorful, the seasons are respected and the prices are reasonable. The welcome is really warm. In short, we love it!
