Description: No kitchen is complete without a small, extremely sharp French paring knife and this is the best place to find one. Founded in 1820 (yes, the shop is nearly 200 years old), E. Dehillerin is ground zero for high-end culinary equipment, from dishes and serving utensils to cookware, knives and specialty tools, and draws in customers—both pros and amateur cooks—from all over the world, including current culinary superstars Robuchon, Paul Bocuse and Michel Troisgros, as well as the legendary Julia Child, who was a regular E. Dehillerin shopper for more than 50 years. The place is also the best stop to find the famous Copper cookware from—stew pans, sauce pans, sauté pans, frying pans, soup pots, braising trays, stock pots, roasting pans, fish kettles and more. You’ll never feel unwelcome or uncomfortable. And even if you don’t intend to buy anything—or just plan on purchasing something as simple as a couple of wooden stirring spoons—E. Dehillerin is still well worth the trip.

Description: The oldest and most important food bookshop in the world. The two-story bookstore has an extensive collection of cookbooks, fitting all the budgets and specifications. There are some used books amongst the stacks, but on the upper floor is an impressive collection of oversized books by European chefs which are hard-to-get outside of Europe.

Description: Set your tote bag and hurry up to get some fresh greens and produce. A slice of cheese? yes they have it. Super-Fresh seafood? many! Some cut of meat instead? That is the place! Some organic coffee for the goodbye? they help you to chose! This is Terroirs d’Avenir - many separate produce stores, all part of the one business – a grocer (complete with a mini fromagerie with a good range of cheeses), and across the street you’ll find a poissonnerie, boucherie, boulangerie a coffeshop and even a restaurant. The culinary brainchild of owners Samuel Nahon and Alexandre Drouard, the Terroirs d’avenir shop front is an extension of a successful produce business (the pair provide fresh produce to some of Paris’ best restaurants). If you are into the Slowfood Movement and wanna keep the miles low, this is the place. My tip is not having shopping list. Be guided by what’s in stock on the day you visit and you won't regret it!
