The best delicatessens Caen

In the family of small, independent and friendly shops on Rue Froide, I'd like to mention Les Cousins! Come and visit Alice and Brice (real cousins, yes, yes!), who have opened this pretty grocery store. All smiles, it's a pleasure to chat with them and discover their superb selection of local and seasonal products. Fruits and vegetables, skinless sausages, cheeses, flours, beers and even herbal teas. Normandy is favoured, otherwise it's always from France, or at least organic and sustainable. A great place!

Isabelle and Sylvain Mugnaini, owners of the emblematic Trattoria, have created a fine delicatessen. In the kitchen, you'll find Roberta, a true Italian who has been with the restaurant since it opened. Rodolphe is in charge of sales. And that's when the show begins: pasta galore, Italian wines, antipasti, cold cuts, cheeses - and no, still no pizzas! Want to know their secret? Cooking classes and tastings are organized. Lovers of REAL Italian cuisine? This grocery store is for you!

Here, you'd be forgiven for thinking you were at Fauchon or Hédiard, whose products are also distributed here. With its sober tones, subdued lighting, impeccably arranged shelves and olive tree in the middle of the space, this store is so imposing that you hardly dare enter or touch it once you've passed through the door. So you look around, your eyes shining, your senses alert, and you soon realize that when it comes to delicatessen, we're right up there with the best, and that there's nothing missing to turn a good meal into an exceptional feast.

Do you know the restaurant version of Table de JF? Well, building on his success, Jean-François has opened a grocery-caterer just around the corner. Not only can you enjoy a delicious meal at his table, but you can also take home products from small producers. Feel like a meal? Head for the grocery store. This address is full of charm and originality, with the same friendly atmosphere as the restaurant. In addition to lunchtime takeaways, bread, fresh pasta and delicacies are also available.
