After some years of decline, the Marché St.-Quentin, near the Montmartre Studio-Loft is alive again. The covered market sells all fresh products as bread, vegetables, meat and fish from France. But you can also find specialities of other countries ( Brasil, Libanon, Italy, Portugal, …). The market is open every day except on monday.

A  new gourmet adress did open in spring on the Place Pigalle. On two floors you can find at Le Marché des Gastronomes products of high quality : meet, cheese, wine, vegetables. 

The accent is on  french products  and  small bio productors. You also can find soups, jams and chocolats bio.

The wines and champagnes are reasonably priced. On the first floor they will start a small restaurant.

Even if you are not interested in food (?) the location itself is historic with art déco interiors, it used to be a hangout of many painters and writers.
