my daily street market (fermé lundi) when i first moved to Paris in 2000 and lived a block away (a la Hemingway in 1921). didn't cook so i'd hit up fruit, cheese, bread, pasta, roast chicken and pork mongers who are all still there. when tourists come to town, a visit here is de rigueur. restos on rue du Pot-de-Fer are meh so avoid. crêperies solid but do as we did recenty: get roast quail to eat at a park by église Saint-Médard (has fountain to wash hands). then on to the Grand Mosque de Paris (10 min walk) for a proper meal of tajines, couscous and lamb kebabs. and mint tea bien sûr.
