My family and I came for lunch on a weekday, so not all of the food stalls were open. We did a couple laps around the market, looking at the various types of food offered. The place has many types of cuisines, with both takeout and sit down options. For lunch, the majority of our group decided on trying the Italian restaurant. My mother had her own idea of what she wanted for lunch and wandered over to another restaurant. I like that you can pick and choose and find something that suits all. At the Italian place, I ordered the caprese and so did my aunt. My little cousin went with the lasagna and nephew ordered the spaghetti with clams. My sister went with this pasta with a marinara sauce. Food was delicious and affordable. After our meal, we walked around again and I ended up buying cheeses and crackers from the Fromager. Service wasn't too friendly, but really didn't mind as I was getting this to go. I later learned that the Marche des enfants rouges is the oldest market in Paris and dates back to 1628. I really love the history behind the market and the food that we ate that day. The only downside is that almost half of the places were closed due to the day that we went, so you never know what will be offered.

This was my first stop on my trip to Paris. It was an interesting outdoor food market with a…read morevariety of stalls and some indoor restaurants. We visited during the heat wave and we found a place that sort of had A/C. We all needed a break and enjoyed the slightly cooled atmosphere. I would say this wouldn't rank the highest on my list of food markets I've been to. They had some good looking vegetables, cheeses, and the crepes looked amazing. But overall it felt limited.

Way bigger than I expected. Maybe the biggest market we have been to since arriving in France. Public toilets nearby, my first discovery. I felt like a kid trying to figure it out.

Came to the Bastille Market to try one of the rotisserie chickens from here. I don't remember the…read morename of the exact place, but it was the last bird I consumed in France. My swan song from a disappointing trip in the bird department. Off the eye test, it doesn't get much better. The beautiful sight of tissi's rotating in front of a fire breathing oven, potatoes in the tray below collecting the chicken juices as they fell, had me ready to run around the Bastille plaza yelling "LE MOUVEMENT!!". I thought this was going to be my first high level bird in the City of Light. Much to my chagrin, the one I got was just lukewarm. I was ready for my fingerprints to be fully burned off. There was so much potential here, but as always, I have to judge what's in front of me. If I don't have my integrity I have nothing. It landed at an 8.1/10 on the restaurant scale which is good, but if it was hot it could have been up there with the greats in the rare 9 territory. Unrealized potential is one of the most depressing things in the world. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

This is the farmers market you would want down the street from your home…read more Everything is there, the cheese, the bread, the poultry, pork, beef (all in separate stalls, of course) as well as the best artichokes, asparagus, melons, strawberries I've ever had. Do the farmers plant there seeds with sugar? Everything is so sweet, fresh and local. The yogurt was amazing. However, this is not the place to go if you want organic, or bio, which is how they refer to it here. I would shop around a bit for prices. One artichoke was 6EU another booth sold the for 2EU.

A family from generation to generation who is here on Wednesday and Saturday (morning). The cheese, just opposite sells very good cheese. It is very good advice. Behind a fishmonger relatively expensive but is perfect -- fish and fish! On the other side of the street, a merchant poultry cooked chickens, rabbits, kids. C'est bon! With the calf he made the minced meat, offal and paupiettes. The merchant of fruits and vegetables sells its own production, especially saison.Vegetable is very good and one is forced to hear vegetable sometimes missing or rare as white radish. A small market that has turned province and the rssemble quality for a price justified by the fact!

Many French markets are wonderful…read more This is not to say all of them are. I have been dragged to a variety of them which have been "What's the Point"? Eight desultory stands some with vegetables, some with fish. There are also markets where the brick and mortar places next to them just have better stuff. That said, the Marche Henri-Barbusse in Levallois-Perret is one of the good ones. This is saying a lot because the brick and mortar competition next to Marche Henri-Barbusse is very good. One of the best cheese stores in the Paris area, a first rate butcher, and two very good produce stores are operating nearby in their own proper storefronts. But the Marche Henri Barbusse can even out-dazzle those fine competitors. a) A good market has a LOT of stands for a lot of choice. Levallois-Perret has two markets - the middle sized one and the big one. This is the big one. Big is good here. b) A good market has a lot of duplication so you can get fussy about which provider you want for each item. There are lots of double-ups here - notably on fish. ANY of the fish providers are better than the mediocre brink and mortar fish store nearby. Doubling up has one more advantage. Sometimes one provider doesn't have enough of what you need. If I were to do oxtail, I would have had to go to three butchers to get enough oxtails to do the job by my standards. Fortunately, they HAVE three butchers, each with their own micro-amount of fresh oxtail. c) A good market has exotica that you can't get anywhere else nearby. Henri-Broussard has c1) TWO markets where you can get innards and rare parts of the animal. One mostly gives you rare parts of the pig. The other gives you rare parts of veal and rabbit. c2) A Mauritian traiteur with Afro-Indian curried specialties. c3) An Eastern Mediterranean traiteur with different stuff than the Greek place a few blocks away. Both are good. d) An all poultry specialist that allows you to get the distinctive birds that are called for in French recipes. When your cookbook calls for a pintade, a chicken won't do. It will be the wrong size, will need a different cooking time, and will taste less interesting. The all poultry specialist can give you a choice of what kind of pintade you want. e) A flan maker that makes chocolate flans that are utterly to die for. (She does other flavors too.) f) A nougat maker. Nougat is good in France. It is terrible in the United States. * * * I could go on - but you get the idea here. Is this the best market in all of France or all of France? Not by a long shot. The Saone side market in Lyon is legendary. But any French market in the top 50 percent is going to be absolutely positively amazing. This place is absolutely positively amazing.

2 of 2 Yelp reviews…read more Quality/Quantity - I really enjoy hanging out with the locals when I travel. To see what the locals eat, drink, do, etc. Decent size market, both indoors and outdoors. Not sure what the relationship is between the Aligre Market and Beauvau Covered Market, but because they are literally next to each other. I feel they were the same/similar market. So this review will reflect that. The products/produce are so fresh and flavorful. Ripe. Meats, seafood, flowers, etc. Everything is so fresh. There is even a "thrift" shop market here?!?! Ambiance - Decent size, both indoor and outdoor. Again, I am connecting the two markets. Service - Good. Price - Reasonable. Expect farmers market prices. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.

I especially loved the prepared meat in the stall near the entrance (they have many prepared items to choose from--I ended up loving the duck foie gras and duck rillette). Also, people were helpful and willing to deal with my poor French :) As another reviewer mentioned, there aren't many (perhaps any) ready-to-way meals. But I wasn't looking for that, and I found the quality to be fantastic.
