I absolutely loved this place. It had so many gourmet items that I wanted to try but unfortunately I didn't have a kitchen so there was no point to buy some of the items. I did stock up on different butters to bring back. They did last in my checked luggage! I also picked up Madeline's, chocolates & treats to bring back as presents!
The Grande Épicerie is a food lovers dream. The best of every food category is here. Similar to food halls in department stores in Japan, Harrod's or Fortnum & Masons (in London), the GE has an astounding collection of chocolates, biscuits, teas and coffees ready to purchase as gifts but it also has food to take back to your hotel room or apartment. The cheese section big. The ready made foods are the star (imo). Want a prepared sandwich for lunch? There are at least 6 combination sandwiches which are cut to the length you want and priced by weight. And being French they offer a formule (deal of sandwich, beverage and dessert!). I enjoyed eating dim sum or noodle soup while seated at a tall table in the store. I've had the dim sum as takeaway too. There are sections for foreign food (the American food shelves carry peanut butter and BBQ sauces!). On some days, they have founders of indie products offering samples. On my recent trip (pre-Christmas), I enjoyed a taste of raclette (cheese) on some toast and sugar free chocolate. The in-store restaurants also include a truffle bar, Spanish ham (Jamon) bar, and a very pretty seafood bar. I enjoyed eating breakfast at the café towards the front of the hall. It's great for people watching while having a tea or coffee and a crepe (which they make there). Their newest alcove is a vegan café with lovely salads and desserts. Tourists in the know come here to buy the Bordier butter (Normandy full cream beurre) which come in a variety of flavors. I've eaten the truffle, Demi salt, and the yuzu flavors - so good! Tip: the front cashier in a particular aisle can arrange to vacuum seal your butters for travel for a small fee. The Grande Épicerie is a must visit place - a destination of it's own. Well worth spending time shopping and eating here!
Im going to make it simple, if sur la table, and central market had combine this exactly what this place is, amazing array of high end quality ingredients, and kitchenware, the staff is really knowledgeable
I love this Grocery Store/Cafe/Shops! We mainly came for the Maison Bordier butter which they can vacuum seal for 1 euro to bring back to US, but this is not your typical grocery store. La Grande Epicerie de Paris is like Erewhon in Los Angeles! Not only it is a high-end supermarket - there is a huge wine section, La Boulangerie (bakery), housewares and Restaurants on the top level. This is also a great place to pick up souvenirs, like chocolates, cookies, teas and of course butter! We also had lunch at Le Table on the top level with a beautiful skylight. You can read by review on the dining experience. There are two locations. I went to the larger store on Rue De Sevres, 7th arrondissement of Paris.
We were looking for a grocery store to buy some of the special butter and also get some desserts. The place had everything and more. It has a big selection of breads, pastas, seafood, pastry, chocolates and areas to set and eat.
The erewhon of Paris in the best way possible . It was such a cool experience to shop here and everything was high quality even down to the strawberries we got. They let you vacuum seal butter and take it home as well which is a unique gift idea
I believe Le Grande Epicerie experience is the secret to world peace, and why wouldn't it be with the best chocolate, pastries, European butter and a wine cave all under one roof? Also a great place for souvenirs like hazelnut or pistachio cream, chocolates with cute French motifs.or containers, 8€ mustard or 12€ salt, because you can't put a price on happiness.
Came by the other day to grab some souvenirs. La Grande Epicerie is a huge grocery store along with a wine basement. The upper levels are a high end department store including a few sit down cafes to rest and dine. The main street level has a ton of local and high end souvenirs such as chocolates, biscuits, and cookies. They also have a ton of fresh fruits, vegetables, fresh meat along with cured meats. Checkout is quick with either self-checkout or staffed check out.
This was right up the street from our hotel and we went here many times for great varieties of prepared foods and also went right before leaving to get cheeses, macaroons and caramels for bringing back home...this place has a sitting area to have coffee, desserts and anything you can think of for cooking or eating and gas upstairs with home goods and more
