When grocery shopping transforms into a chic Parisian lifestyle art… To fill your basket with premium products that make you want to spend hours in the kitchen, we’ve found foodie hotspots firmly rooted in the present, offering the most mouthwatering goods in cool settings. From Ep!c, the buzzing new supermarket, to virtuous delis like Champs Libres, the game-changing Viot Fishmonger, Segar Rotisserie with its delicious poultry, or the bakery of Michelin-starred chef Mathieu Pacaud, here are seven spots to stock up your pantry. Ready, set, shop!

The vibe: A perfect blend of modern supermarket and fine grocery store, Ep!c combines the best of both worlds in the basement of the Palais des Congrès. First off, the design is stunning, crafted by Malherbe Paris, with 1,400 m² of wooden displays, soft colors, and ultra-stylish aisles like the Mediterranean deli corner featuring a charming olive tree. Major crush: the monumental chandelier made from 4,000 jam jars that lights up the fruit and vegetable section. Also on-site: a deli and creamery counter, a fresh herb fountain, a chic wine cellar, a candy and treats aisle, a selection of fine Japanese products, and even a hot sauce section boasting over 180 varieties. Everything here screams indulgence. Ready for a feast?

In my basket: Must-try goodies include Good Hair Pasta truffle tagliatelle with chic packaging (€7.95), ultra-premium Edó olive oil in its sleek black bottle (€52.20), Ottavi Corsican citron velvet vinegar (€11.90), El Jefe hot sauce (€5.20), and Al Nassma camel milk chocolate (€5.95). At the deli, discover freshly made Cavameo pasta, Greek delights from Mavrommatis, and exclusive charcuterie like Cinco Jotas Iberian ham. On the sweet side: a treasure trove of candies, premium jams by Stéphan Perrotte, Olbia, and Anatra, chocolates from Maison Bonnat, Comptoir du Cacao, Angelina, and ice creams from La Fabrique Givrée, including the famous Franui dark chocolate-covered raspberries. Bonus: Ep!c partners with Monoprix, offering the brand’s full lineup, including Monoprix Bio.

Extra perk: At the entrance, beneath a ceiling adorned with wheat stalks, the bakery section features organic flours and slow fermentation methods. Hungry? Grab a Poulet baguette sandwich stuffed with spicy sauce, pear, comté cheese, onions, and lettuce (€7.90), an apple tart slice (€2.70), or a flaky brioche (€6.40).

Ep!c, Palais des Congrès, 2 place de la Porte Maillot, Paris 17th. Open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The vibe: Rain and laziness ruined your Sunday market plans? No problem. Stop by Champs Libres, urban grocery stores that bridge the gap between city and countryside. With four locations in the 11th and 12th arrondissements, they showcase local producers from Île-de-France, prioritizing animal welfare and environmental care. All the goodness, none of the guilt.

In my basket: Seasonal fruits and veggies, top-tier dairy products made in Paris and Île-de-France (cheeses, farm yogurts, butter), fresh eggs from Seine-et-Marne, sweet and savory pantry items (pasta, granola, mustard, jams, spices, olive oil), meats, natural wines, craft beers, farm-fresh juices, and more.

Extra perk: An Écotable-certified deli counter serves up delicious takeaways made with the store’s ingredients. Try parmesan sablés with fall veggies (€2.20), beet hummus bruschetta (€2.10), sea bream tartare (€2.50), citrus ceviche (€5.50), decadent dark chocolate-praline mousse (€3), or verbena-poached pear on Breton shortbread (€2.50).

The vibe: Imagine stepping into a fish shop without the fishy smell or ice displays. Impossible? Think again. Founded by Arthur and Marie-Victoire Viot, this eco-friendly fishmonger at Saint-Germain-des-Prés Market keeps fish and seafood in refrigerated displays without ice—a sustainable, odor-free, zero-waste method that’s healthier for the fish and the environment.

In my basket: French-sourced fish and seafood (except Madagascar shrimp and Japanese Ikejime yellowtail), carefully selected from the Finistère, Vendée, and Saint-Jean-de-Luz coasts. Don’t miss their signature aged fish, like seven-day matured Pyrenean trout. Depending on the season, find sea bream, redfish, black mullet, and more. Shellfish lovers: indulge in sea urchins, cockles, special oysters, and crab meat.

Extra perk: Marie-Victoire’s home-cooked dishes, from a silky tarama (€14) to spicy fish soup (€18 for two), generous spider crab meat portions (€35), and ultra-fresh sashimi (from €15).

The mood: No need to introduce him (but let’s do it anyway): Mathieu Pacaud, the Michelin-starred chef behind iconic spots like Apicius, Divellec, and Laurent, whose Mediterranean-inspired creations ooze elegance. Nestled in the ultra-chic 8th arrondissement (clearly his favorite playground), this Corsican native unveils Maison Mathieu Pacaud, his brand-new bakery and patisserie, also offering delightful lunch and aperitif options. Bonus? A charming wine and grocery corner. Freshness guaranteed: everything is prepared daily on-site—bread downstairs, cakes, small dishes, and sandwiches upstairs.

In my basket: Swing by at lunchtime for a quick bite (beetroot and feta salad €13.90, burrata sandwich €10.50, or the classic ham-and-comté €10.50). Don’t leave without grabbing a treat for later (lemon meringue tart €8.90, Mont-Blanc-style pavlova €8.50, or chocolate entremet €8.50) and some fresh bread for home (whole wheat €3, spelt €5, or buckwheat with dried fruits and pumpkin seeds €4.20).

For a hearty meal, go for the braised veal belly with gnocchi (€16.90), lobster-stuffed cabbage (€16.90), or carrot velouté (€8.90).

The extra touch: Indulge in their breakfast delights, like pain au chocolat (€3.90), apple-yuzu cruffins (€3.40), chouquettes (€5 for 10), or raspberry croissants (€3).

Maison Mathieu Pacaud, 180 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Paris 8th. 01 53 76 21 96. Open Monday to Friday, 8:15 AM – 6:30 PM.

The mood: Think country house vibes with terracotta tiles, chicken-themed decor, and vintage furniture—this cozy rotisserie near Rue Mouffetard is the brainchild of Elena Aaroz and Victor Seguineau, two friends in their thirties. Here, roast chicken is elevated to an art form, available whole or tucked into mouthwatering sandwiches. The perfect cheat meal for lazy Sundays when you’d rather skip playing chef. The star of the menu? Free-range Landes chicken, raised for 105 days in ethical farms where they roam freely. The result? Juicy perfection.

In my basket: Expect to pay €19.90 per kilo for chicken seasoned with a secret spice blend, mustard, and Provençal herbs. Pair it with sides like honey-roasted butternut squash, mushrooms, creamy potatoes, or green beans (from €1.40 per 100g) and finish with comforting desserts like homemade compote (from €1.80 per 100g), tarte tatin, chocolate mousse, or silky rice pudding (€5 per portion). Don’t leave without trying their sandwiches (from €6.50). The standout? The Caesar Sandwich, a true showstopper featuring homemade Caesar sauce, iceberg lettuce, shredded roast chicken, 30-month-aged Parmesan, and crispy chicken skin chips (€8).

The extra touch: Their lunch combo includes a quarter chicken with two sides, perfect for a quick family-style meal between boring meetings (€12.50).

Rôtisserie Segar, 111 rue Mouffetard, Paris 5th. 09 87 78 01 21. Open Tuesday to Saturday, 10:30 AM – 2 PM and 4:30 PM – 7:30 PM; Sunday 10 AM – 2 PM. Closed Monday.

The mood: Just steps from Canal Saint-Martin, the large glass window of Chocolaterie William Artigue invites passersby with its decadent display of chocolates. After honing his craft with Patrick Roger, Jacques Genin, and Arnaud Larher, William opened his own boutique on December 10, 2023. Inside, it’s all about the product: the smell of cocoa fills the air, and visitors can watch the magic happen in the on-site workshop.

In my basket: Choose from classic chocolate bars featuring cocoa from Peru, Colombia, or the Dominican Republic (€9), or indulge in expertly crafted chocolate bonbons (€1.50 each, gift boxes from €29) made with premium ingredients like Nicolas Berger, Valrhona, and A. Morin. Options include ganache, candied fruits, chestnuts, praline, and marzipan. Don’t miss the sharing bites, like praline with walnuts, marzipan with chestnuts, and candied chestnut cream (€20). Surprisingly, the fruit jellies nearly steal the show—light, fruity, and low in sugar, they’re impossible to resist.

The extra touch: For Easter, William Artigue has created an adorable chocolate collection featuring otters filled with praline treats, including one with a tiny chocolate egg, a mother cuddling her baby, and a baby otter curled into a ball. Available late March—don’t miss it!

Chocolaterie William Artigue, 30 rue Yves Toudic, Paris 10th. Open Tuesday to Friday, 11 AM – 7:30 PM; Saturday 10 AM – 7:30 PM; Sunday 12 PM – 6:30 PM.
