Fine food stores and upscale local food shops
In Paris, fine food stores and upscale local food shops are a feast for the eyes and the palate.
Gastronomy is always much in evidence, thanks to artisans, chefs and renowned producers.
International cake and pastry specialists include Pierre Hermé, Ladurée and Philippe Conticini. A virtuoso artisan of sorbets and ice-cream, Martine Lambert offers upscale products without colourings and preservatives. As for the delicatessen G. Detou, their pistachios, ground almonds, pine nuts, chocolate bars … are ordered directly from the producers.
The food halls of major department stores like the Printemps du Goût, La Grande Épicerie de Paris and Lafayette Gourmet offer a wide and very international choice, with the accent on quality.
In the 9th arrondissement, Causses is both a food store and a deli with soups, salads and sandwiches.
