For Guillaume and Constant, beer is much more than a drink. Beer is a passion that they share at La Plante du Loup. Because there is not one beer, but thousands of quality craft beers and we have not finished discovering them from here and elsewhere in this surprising store. Here, we are on first-name terms, we are "friend-friends" (house motto) in this hybrid place, which is at the same time a cellar, a beer bar and a tasting place with 4 self-service growlers to fill your reusable bottle and more than 350 references in this beautiful cellar. Spirits - whiskies, beer brandies... - produced by brewers. New and beautiful address in Vaise.

Change of address for tandem Lionel Villaron and Cédric Clapin, who created the Millefleurs, a catering service not like the others. With the closure of the restaurant rue de Breteils, exit the lunch formulas on the spot and refocus on the gastronomiqe pastry and the art of receiving. These new look will give another look on the pastry. Gourmets, above all, have requirements on the concept of equilibrium, on product seasonality, on health by food and pleasure food. The Patissier chef tells you about Japanese culture, Zen and Cretan diet at the same time as he realizes his sweet - but not too - sweet desserts, his desserts with herbs, his dessert spices. As you will have understood, here we are in the court of the big, with endless inspiration. They will be pleased to assist you in your event and offer you the possibility to organise the highest standard of service, arty soirées evenings. Cédric C, the expert in music, images and videos, supports the sound coating and treats visual magic.

We love the look of this patisserie with its antique woodwork. It's a real haunt for the locals of San Polo. You'll see them flocking here especially on Sundays after mass, to buy their lunchtime cake. The chocolate and marzipan specialities are excellent. During Carnival, frittelle and chiacchiere fill the windows. A small counter inside allows you to taste them on the spot. You can also try one of Venice's best hot chocolates. An authentic address that is unanimously appreciated.

Open for three generations, this establishment is mythical in the neighbourhood. If you feel like having a sweet treat while wandering around the Nomentana district, try this bar-glacier, which is also famous for its pastries and pastries such as fagottini or the famous maritozzi, cream buns. You can accompany them with a cappuccino or a very good coffee for an Italian breakfast! You will also find sandwiches and ice creams. Depending on the season, panettoni and other doves are available on the counter.

You will have a little ice cream after your visit to the Vatican museums? For more than 20 years, this tiny glacier has been a delight for tourists and Romans in the area with its seasonal ice creams served in generous proportions and made with fresh, high-quality products. Given its rather privileged situation, the line is sometimes long. But if you're not in too much of a hurry, you can enjoy the orange, mint and amaretto flavours, which are a must, just like mango ice cream! The house also offers tasty yoghurts.

Carlo Pistacchi is no slouch. He's a passionate and daring shopkeeper. At his place, there's always a crowd of shoppers, those who discover and above all those who come back! It's worth mentioning that you'll be able to taste original, artisanal, additive-free ice creams here. The flavors concocted here are truly surprising. They range from ginger tiramisu and celery to artichoke, cinnamon, basil and fennel... Don't hesitate to try it, it's divine, so much so that some customers refer to the owner of L'Alaska as a happiness maker.

This market, which appeared in 1737 near the entrance to the town and specialized in the sale of hay, straw and wood, was once very large and very popular. Today, it is a very old school local market, frequented by the locals and very popular with Petersburg restaurateurs for supplies. All kinds of fresh products can be found there. To eat on the go, the stalls with Vietnamese salads (vegetables, fish and spicy meat) sold by weight are very practical even if they are at least as Russian as Vietnamese

Favourite pastry of the Genoese bourgeois, Mangini maintains the same refined atmosphere (admire the chandeliers rocks) and same quality in its dishes since 1876. The small daisies filled with jam are exquisite. Without forgetting the main house speciality and made in Liguria: Sacripantina. Created in 1851 by Giovanni Preti, this cake with basic ingredients classic (milk, butter, egg yolks, flour) is nicely enhanced with rum and Marsala, without forgetting the addition of bread from Spain.

This little store, which would almost go unnoticed along Via Luccoli, is a piece of history. A landmark for gourmets, its red neon sign reads Caffetteria, which would look right at home in a Cinecittà film... As you'll have gathered, this is a far cry from supermarkets. The cremeria sells frothy artisanal ice creams, cream-filled wafers, Liège coffees and chocolates, and Genovese specialties such as panera genovese, a kind of iced coffee mousse. Top flavors include sabayon and pistachio.

On a trip to Boccadasse, a visit to Antica Gelateria Amedeo is a must for any ice cream lover. This former dairy now produces delicacies such as coffee panera, a delicious semi-glazed mousse! You'll find classics and unusual flavors like marron glacé, almond, cinnamon, chocolate-mint and lactose-free ice creams. Combine the pleasure of the taste buds with the pleasure of the eyes as you enjoy your ice cream as the sun sets. For a little variety, there's an infinite choice of fruit or cream sticks.

For a change from traditional ice cream, here's something to refresh your summer snacks. This all-purpose café-bistro prepares rich Sicilian specialties, including granite, a glass filled with crushed ice in a variety of flavors. Almost every ice-cream parlour sells them, but Don Paolo's are the best in the region. Try one with lemon or almonds, and sip from your own little paper cup with your straw, admiring the romantic view from the esplanade. Heated veranda for winter.

In the palace where Lord Byron stayed, this patisserie, named after its Swiss founder, is a landmark. Sweet and savoury mignardises and all kinds of chocolates have been made here with the utmost care since 1910. The store, which has caught up with the trend for a certain clientele eager for a more balanced diet, also offers lower-calorie "sweets", with less sugar and more fresh fruit or nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds). One of the specialties that will last the trip is Genoese pandolce.

Just a stone's throw from the Carlo Felice Theatre, one of Genoa's finest focaccias, in a central location where good bakeries are rare. We recommend you start with the classic focaccia , just to get an idea. Wide choice of sweet and savoury snacks. Very good pastries. Ideal for a quick breakfast or lunch, sitting around the piazza de Ferrari watching the fountain sparkle, before heading off to via Garibaldi and its many palaces.

Castelletto's most famous ice cream parlour, which has been making the finest semifreddi and panere (creamy ice cream parfaits) for generations. With such a solid reputation, we only regret that he took the opportunity to double his prices... A pity, but the gelato is still exquisite, and if you happen to push into this beautiful residential area, the terrace with its plunging view over the city is well worth a stop. There's also a cafeteria service, serving breakfasts and aperitifs.

In the Esquilino district, this artisan pastry shop with its delightfully old-fashioned façade opened in 1916 and has been run by the same family ever since. The welcome is warm, and the window displays traditional Italian pastries, from crostata to torta della nonna . This is an address cherished by Romans, not least for its maritozzi, which are among the best in the Italian capital. If you're lucky enough to try one, you'll have to get up early, as they sell like hotcakes!

The history of the Jewish community in Venice has also left its mark on the restaurant business and, of course, the bakeries. Unleavened breads and kosher cakes (without milk and butter) are delicacies that Venetians frequently enjoy. The Volpe bakery, open since the 1950s, is said to be among the favorites of the rabbi of Venice. Its dry cookies such as bisse, impade(with almond paste) or zuccherini are exquisite. On the savory side, a few slices of thick pizza, olive focaccia and other unleavened breads are delicious.

Open since 2015, this cellar is a den of good things and epicureans who have become loyal customers. All the grape varieties sold here have been personally selected by the owner. So if you need expert advice, this is the right place. Events are organized regularly, tastings and concerts. A beautiful place of conviviality. It is now possible to organise company parties or to privatise the back room. To complete an already rich range of services, we also deliver to your home.

A new Italian caterer in the very commercial and friendly district of Sevastopol Square. All the good things are here to take away or even available for delivery.

A beautiful vintage front made of blue tiles straight out of the 1960s. This superb cheese shop, with its resolutely modern interior, offers a range of cheeses that would make any connoisseur or curious person swoon. At the helm, not Lucienne but Alban, a passionate man trained in cheese making. The cheeses are selected with care and taste: raw milk, pasteurized (Endoume is a district where the birth rate is exploding), pressed, soft or blue-veined. Regional and from elsewhere. It is superb and the welcome is very warm.

You have to look hard to find this tiny pastry shop, whose front is hard to notice, between Piazza Navona and the Pantheon. But it is well worth the detour. Its quality pastries have won many hearts: the cream or fruit mignardises, the maritozzi (sweet rolls filled with whipped cream), its cakes and tarts are all worth trying! Everything is homemade, of course, and the choice is always varied. This pasticceria offers a cafeteria service to accompany the pastries with a drink.

All the traditional Venetian cookies are also here.

A new kind of gourmet market has opened on boulevard Longchamp, in place of a former theater. After a great deal of hard work and self-sacrifice, the trio of Amaury, Pierre and Hugo were finally able to open a beautiful indoor market at the beginning of September 2023, an inspiring and quite unique venue in the city center. Featuring a greengrocer offering only local fruit and vegetables (with the exception of citrus fruits from Sicily and Corsica), a cheesemonger, a wine shop, a butcher, a bakery corner by Ferments Bakery and, last but not least, the market auction by our long-time favorite, ex-Nico Coquillages, the various counters are just waiting for you to do your shopping. Affordable prices, a great approach by the creators to reduce margins without skimping on quality and seasonality. Bulk wine from the Alpilles. Organic grocery corner. A marvellously well thought-out address! I love the stained glass windows under the glass roof. Magnificent.

Marseille has its navettes and canistrellis, Aix has its calissons, and now the city can boast its own madeleine! La Madeleine de Marseille, recently opened as a boutique by two partners, Patrick and Nicolas, is located in the lively Cinq-Avenues district. It's a pretty store with the sweet aroma of freshly baked madeleines. Proust himself would love it, and would never leave the premises. Different flavors: aniseed, almond, pistachio, lemon, plain and a delicious melting sensation on the palate. A real treat. Everything is made on site in the small laboratory, so it's very, very fresh. You'll appreciate the texture of the madeleines, the bits of chocolate, the flaked almonds and the pistachio powder.

No need to look for rue Charles Dullin, let's say right away that Muraato settled in the place des Célestins, next to the magnificent theatre.

By the way, note that Murato is a small Corsican village and you can find excellent products from the Ile de Beauté (as well as Italian products with a delicious mozza and excellent meats too) on the stalls of the shop. As for the wine, there is something for all tastes, with a preference - which is also ours - for Burgundian wines.
