Gourmet products local specialties and wines Nancy

The covered market of Nancy is a real temple of gourmet flavors in the city center. It gathers about sixty merchants and farmers in a beautiful space with wide alleys, where you can stroll among market gardeners and merchants, from the local soil or from other regions, such as the well-known Frères Marchand, the Schaller fish and seafood stall or, for the gourmets, the Jacques Bockel chocolate factory. Bring a big basket, even on Sundays, and a big appetite, if you eat there. It is one of the most important markets of the Lorraine gastronomy.

Pascal Caffet, best worker in France and world champion in the field of desserts, advocates authenticity. In his very pretty store, you can enjoy refined and artisanal chocolates. You can find his old fashioned pralines and other chocolate wonders. As for the pastries, it's all about delicacy, taste and creativity. The cakes are all more tempting than the others: verrines Caffet Gourmand, eclairs of different varieties, or macaroons with multiple flavors, tasty jams. Let's bet that you will succumb!

A huge choice of references, from Belgium, the country of beer, but also from America and elsewhere. Beers that are rare or even impossible to find in France.

Renting professional taps and buying equipment to make your own brew, tasting workshops and growler beers (1 or 2l draught): the Capsule does not leave amateurs without solutions!

A must in the city! Founded in 1850, the Lalonde house owes its creation to Lilig, who notably developed the Nancy bergamot.

Over the years, Lalonde's reputation in confectionery, chocolate and pastry-making has been consolidated, thanks in particular to its traditional know-how and the impeccable quality of its products.
