ASIA MARKET

Specialized grocery
5/5
1 review

Behind the new Leclerc Drive, or Hyperburo, the new address for exotic and Asian products in Le Mans is here. At attractive prices (lower than supermarket prices). Chillies, bean sprouts, flours, teas, cookies, drinks, rice, sauces, nori leaves and many other products are available on the shelves. But the most impressive is the frozen food section, with lots of fish, but also desserts, smoked meat, samousas and Reunion corks. The products come mainly from Asia, but also from Africa and the West Indies. The sales area is around 300m2, enough to add a touch of the exotic to your dishes so that your guests won't be able to resist, and to whom you'll be happy to pass on the address. The young owner Xin Lin is very friendly and it's not uncommon to hear Ni hao, which undeniably adds to the exoticism of this store. And if the northern zone doesn't tempt you, there's the same in the city center!

EXOTIC MARKET

Delicatessen African products
5/5
1 review

Guillaume, of Zairean origin, welcomes you with kindness and simplicity to his cosmopolitan store. Made up of two rooms, the second, at the back, houses the African grocery store. Don't be fooled by its modest size, there are plenty of products for concocting exotic dishes. It's a godsend to be able to stock up on cassava, yams, plantains, attiéké (cassava semolina) and dried fish right in the center of town. You can also stock up on rice (perfumed, long, broken once or broken twice), frozen fish and meat, peanut and cocoa spreads, African beer (Flag) and sodas, spices... In the first room, you'll find DVDs and hairdressing accessories (highlights, weaving, hair care products, relaxers, hairpieces...). Not sure what to choose? Don't worry, we'll be happy to advise you. Some people also come here with friends to chat and enjoy local video clips. Finally, for Bollywood fans, this friendly boutique has a vast selection of Indian films.
