Why locals recommend it
When we want to eat something nice, but we know the kids won’t sit for long, this is where we come: an old covered market in the heart of Paris. We don’t have to worry about bothering other people because it’s already a busy, energetic place filled with the sights, smells, and sounds of people cooking various cuisines. We like the organic restaurant because there’s a nice terrace where you can sit for a long time, especially in the summer. But you can also get Cuban food, Chinese dishes, or French sandwiches. It’s all very good—sometimes we choose based on where there’s an open table.

The oldest food market in Paris. You can do groceries or eat on the spot. Don't miss the famous stand of Alain, the master of sandwiches.

One of the oldest covered markets in France, an absolute must. It’s nested behind a row of buildings, so you could easily miss the arched entrance to this nearly 400 year-old farmers market. But once you walk in, it’s a wonderland of all sorts of savory treats. You can find lots of stands serving food from different cuisines, Moroccan, Italian, Japanese, Lebanese... At lunch time the sights and smells are intoxicating: from the falafel and shawarma sandwiches available at the Lebanese vendor; to the tender lamb tajine and couscous in the exotic Moroccan corner. Everywhere you go the delicious smell of food will get you enchanted. The market also offers produce from fresh vegetables, to fruit, flowers and cheeses, it’s always worth a walk.
