Clean, organized, chic, and very chill vibe. Totally overwhelmed by what is available, and it makes you think you should rent an apartment in Paris, shop here for cooking meals back at home, and not visit restaurants. Name it, they have it! Fruits, veggies, pastas, foie gras, rigglits, duck confit, meats, cheeses, confectioneries, canned goods, breads, wines, spirits, cookies, butter, creams, and the list goes on and on! Name an item, and there were at least 20 variations or varieties of that item! Brought back a suitcase of stuff! Was shopping for over 4 hours! Had coffee and lunch with wine while shopping. The experience was reminiscent of shopping at the huge Macy's department store on 5th Avenue in New York City, thanks to the dining options available while shopping. Must visit before departing the country.

Shall I compare thee to a California's Erewhon?…read more Y'all know I can be wowed by a fabulous grocery store. This one is surely opulent, but crowded out the wazoo. The North American section made me giggle. I grabbed some fancy French mustards and cookies to bring home for friends and family. Unsure if any locals actually come here or if it's ALL tourists. The layout was extremely confusing to me. Now, I'm sure there are some simply fantastic elements to this store that evaded me due to the sea of people inside. But, I think Erewhon had more going for it. Artistic, clean, bountiful displays of produce. More organization, better lighting, etc. I felt like I could actually see the products at Erewhon, whereas here I was fighting with a lot of noise.

We grab the table on the left just outside. It's great to people watch. They have a decent happy hour for pints of lager and this time we got a Nutella crepe and a shot of the absinthe.

We split a raclette sandwich and it was really good. It was an experience watching him heat the cheese and melted it directly onto the sandwich which was on a fresh baguette. It's very close to the tertre de arte park. There's no shortage of cafés and restaurants in this area but this one is great for Takeaway there's two very small tables to sit at and it's better to just eat somewhere else. I would definitely come back

We had foie gras (their specialty) very delicious, escargot, smoked salmon salad, french onion soup, and plenty of baguette. Helpful servers speak English well, they were quite patient and friendly. All the food we had was eye-opening, in both taste and presentation. We arrived 30 minutes before the kitchen closed, with several groups in front of us, but they kept us apprised of the situation and prepared a place for us outside as soon as it was available. We placed our order and the food arrived quickly; in the meantime several more diners came by and were seated for wine and desserts. It was fun for people-watching at such a late hour as many groups and couples were still out and about. While waiting to be seated, we had a chance to peruse the deli area with many varied terrines and foie gras, pickles, smoked salmon, caviar and wines. I wish I was more knowledgeable about their products, but I was amazed that my French from high school and college (40 years ago!) held up as well as it did!

We stopped by this place because it has various authentic French small bites, sausages, meat loaves, seafood salad etc. I ordered the Salmon bites, octopus salad, mini French cream puffs (??) not sure what they called in English but they are super good. Too bad we are leaving tomorrow but I will definitely come back to this area when I come visit in the future. The business hour is from 9 am sharp to 7 pm sharp. Not a min late or early.

Chez Alain Miam Miam is easily one of the best sandwich spots in Paris and absolutely worth the…read morehype, even with the long lines. We tried the jambon sandwich and chicken baguette, paired with a golden ale beer and coffee. Both sandwiches were outstanding--freshly made with incredible bread, generous fillings, and a perfect balance of textures. The strong cheese they offer on the side is a must; it pairs beautifully with the sandwiches, and the staff even lets you try it before deciding, which is a great touch. We did go around 2pm and unfortunately the pastrami was already sold out, which speaks to how popular it is. We also waited about 30-40 minutes in line, but it moved steadily and didn't feel too painful. We were lucky to find a spot to dine in, though most people grab their food to go. Service was friendly and quick despite the constant rush. The atmosphere is more grab-and-go than sit-down, with very limited indoor seating. Most people take their sandwiches to enjoy at a nearby park, which actually adds to the experience. Be prepared for a queue, but it moves faster than expected--and the payoff is absolutely worth it for what might be the best sandwich in the city.

Little Davoli is the restaurant right across the street for sit down dining. The food ordered is brought over covered from Davoli when ready. We started off with Greek salad and a bruscetta appetizer. Both were fresh and delicious. For entrees we chose the spaghetti alla carbonara and the spaghetti alla Bolognese. The pasta in both dishes was undercooked; no where near the al dente stage. Neither dish was very flavorful, although the serving size was decent. Casual, small, restaurant which was very busy. Service was fine.

The service was quick which makes me wonder if it's pre-made? Risotto usually takes about 30 min to make and this dish came out less than 10 mins of us ordering. The mushroom pappardelle was tasteless and lacked flavor. The mushroom risotto was bland AF. The pasta was not good. The risotto was not good. The servers were rushed and borderline rude.

Located near the edge of Paris's 16th arrondissement (district), just a couple of minutes from the…read morePorte de St. Cloud, I can proudly say that I'm the third generation within my family to hit up that establishment when in Paris. My family has pretty close ties to Luigi, Frank and the rest of the wonderful family that runs this business and despite some hefty prices on some of the items, it still remains to this day, one of the few places that I miss greatly and wish I had out here in Boston. The recipes have not changed in decades and they still serve some of the best eggplant lasagna I've had to this day. They have a a wonderful selection of freshly made pastas and salads along with some Italian deserts. Everything is very fresh but they also carry an incredible selection of Italian deli meats, wines and cheeses. The small shop is just packed with stuff and I've never had a bad item there. The quality and the service has been, for years, some of the best I've experienced but that also comes at a price. They are undeniably expensive but then again, they can justify it with the quality that they produce day in and day out. This is always a must-stop to place for me on my trips back home. The simplicity of the joint, whose floor is covered in sawdust and the staff in their big white pharmacist-like coats with big smiles on their face (or occasional hugs because we're that close) and the delicious smells are something that I hold dearly. They've been around for years and I hope that they remain in it for generations to come!

This small shop by the Marche des Enfants Rouges, Paris' outdoor covered market, is definitely…read moreworth the stop. When I went, there was a long line that stretched through much of the block. They allow one group at a time into the shop for a fully curated Jamon Beurre experience. Yep, that is all you can get here. Ham sandwiches, but it's a much more involved experience than that. When you walk in, there is an entire wall with a cooler displaying every kind of ham possible. You have to pick whether you want cured or just baked ham. What region? They offer Italian, French, Spanish and then you have to narrow it down to the region! Then you do the same with the cheese. I ended up getting two sandwiches, the cured ham from Spain's basque country paired with Ossau-Iraty, or basque sheep milk cheese. My other sandwich was a French baked ham sandwich with comte. Which was the winner? I have to say, the cured meat from Spain was out of this world and in our taste test, was the top winner. I know, I shouldn't say that in France!
