La Grande Épicerie de Paris

I recommend the petit sandwicherie. The size is customizable. If you do not have a big hunger, you can choose 10cm sandwich. I love the butternut and a blue cheese. Very nice combination and fresh ingredients. Next time I’ll try more

A large gourmet supermarket with a wide variety of food selections, including French specialties and international products. I was excited to visit, but unfortunately left disappointed with overpriced items. Some items were charged at prices that did not match the shelf labels. To make matters worse, the cashier, an older French lady, was extremely rude and displayed an abrasive attitude. When I asked to remove the items that did not match the prices seen on the shelf labels, she reacted with visible frustration and dismissed me by saying “No English” when I tried to explain the reason why. Although I clearly saw her speaking English with a caucasian American couple just before me. She also signed me up for the loyalty program without explaining that my email would be used for marketing purposes. I find this an invasion of privacy, as I did not consent to receiving promotional emails. However, she did explain something to the couple before me about the loyalty card. Everyone I’ve encountered during my many visits to Paris has been nothing but friendly and accommodating until I met this lady. She was abrasive, condescending, and treated me differently than other customers. It made the checkout experience uncomfortable and frustrating. Her behavior was completely uncalled for, especially in this establishment. On top of that, a rat literally ran across the floor in front of me while I was in the salt aisle, disappearing under a refrigerator where they kept preserved food. I was shocked — never before have I seen an actual rat in public in Paris, especially in a high-end gourmet store. Overall, despite all the selections available, the experience was disappointing, unprofessional, and frankly alarming. Very unfortunate that I visited here before going to Gourmet at Galeries Lafayette. The selections were similar, but with better price, discounts and customer experience.

This place is AMAZING and had I known about it sooner I would have been there throughout our stay this go around as well as last year. I LOVE IT! Can't wait to go back. Didn't have enough time to go through all three levels.

Loved the store! So many cute Parisian foods to try. I got different flavors of butter and the best part is that they vacuum seal it for you! I highly recommend

La Grande Épicerie is the definition of Parisian elegance in supermarket form. The selection is incredible — from the impeccable cheese counter to the bakery that looks and smells like a dream. Everything felt curated, elevated, and oh-so-bougie in the best way. Shopping here made me feel like a true Parisian. I wandered the aisles with my little basket, picking out gourmet items to take back to my hotel — and honestly, the things I bought satisfied my palate more than some of the restaurants I tried. It’s a foodie heaven. My only (minor) disappointment? They no longer stock coffee creamer — something they apparently used to carry. A very kind floor attendant walked me all the way to where it would’ve been, then explained that most French people drink their coffee black, so creamer just isn’t in demand. Fair — but still, I mourned a little. Overall, I loved the experience. It’s not just a grocery store — it’s a lifestyle. A delicious, classy, very Parisian lifestyle.

Love to buy gourmet products from this grocery store in Paris, France. The butters here is well sought after and tastes so smooth and delicious great for cooking. There’s levels here where you can buy wines, champagne, liqueur, home goods, wine glasses, butcher shop, and fresh fruits.

Wow what an amazing place to shop for groceries and homewares. There's a small café on the ground floor and a restaurant on the first floor. I got my loyalty card and purchased some cheeses. I will come back again.

What an amazing fine gourmet food, a heaven for food lovers , doesn’t matter you like to eat or like to cook , this is a place where you could easily spend hours here sourcing different ingredients, sauces , drinks and cookwares/ kitchenwares all within one roof . Great variety , well displayed , reasonable prices and freshness can’t lie One of my favourite go-to places in Paris !

Honestly the best market/grocery store I've ever been to. It's several floors including multiple cafes with pastries, coffee, sandwiches etc. It also has a restaurant, multiple floors of kitchen items, home goods, etc. The fruit there is incredibly fresh, even the pre-washed ones available in the cafes. There is an entire wall of french butters (this has gone viral on tiktok) and a sous vide (vacuum seal) option to package for flights. Personally, the french butters are too cheese-like in consistency for my tastes. They also go better with the breads that are sold in France and not really available in the US so I'm not sure that it's truly worth bulk purchasing in store. The sous vide can be accessed at check out; just let the cashier know and they'll provide the bag and perhaps even help you start the machine. If you do happen to buy to go foods, the cashier will also give you utensils upon request. There is a cafe on the first floor (0th floor in France) that offers cafe viennois (hot chocolate). This is the best hot chocolate I've ever had in my life. It was rich but not too sweet. They also offered sugar which was shaped like a tea kettle (not needed), and the straws were made of bamboo (eco conscious and also very interesting). The crepes they had at the same cafe were also amazing. I had the caramel one; the crepe itself was so thin and flavorful and the caramel was excellent quality. Honestly much better than any dedicated hot chocolate or crepe places that are viral that I've tried.

La Grand Épicerie is a gourmet grocer located across from Le Bon Marche; both entities belong to LVMH (did you expect anything less from the luxury giant?!) It was a food lover's dream to browse the various counters dedicated to the best in its category -- cheeses, butters, meats, pastries, packaged sweets & snacks, jams, chocolates, & the freshest fruits. There is an option to have delicious French butters vacuumed sealed for easy & safe transport back home. La Grand Épicerie also features individual eateries; I liken it to Harrod's Food Hall. We had our first meal of the day here consisting of coffee from their cafe, as well as a chocolate croissant, myrtille blueberry tart, & veggie & cheese pastry from one of the boulangeries (the one with giant-sized madeleines!) From their pâtisserie, we took macarons to-go & at the cash registered, picked up a few of their signature tote bags. Lovely service from everyone who assisted us. If long strolls through fancy food markets make your heart beat fast, you're in for a treat here.

Writing this review for La Grande Epicerie's rotisserie chicken, obviously. After going to 11 different Franprixs and Carrefours and not finding a single bird, we arrived at La Grande Epicerie. It felt like a Paris Erewhon meets Eataly kind of vibe. I knew my Chase card was going to get hit BAD. A whole tissi ran a whopping $26.40 usd which hurt my mind, body, and soul. When we went to a park nearby and I took the bird out of the bag, I knew it was going to be brutal. Visibly dry and unseasoned. When I took a bite of the leg, I couldn't even chew through it. It was like swallowing a cactus, and turned out to be more chicken jerky than a chicken leg. Brutal. It ended up landing at a 2.75/10, which ranks it 86th out of 90 grocery store chickens I have currently tried. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

Such a fun place to browse and buy gifts! My friend was on the other side of the mall shopping and I was able to immerse myself with pastries and edible goods! I got a few gifts to bring home here :)

A truly wonderful gourmet grocery just across the street from Le Bon Marche (and connected through their homewares department). Every French delicacy you've been dreaming of is here - hams, cheeses, oysters, rotisserie chickens, pastries, jams, those tiny wild French strawberries... And butter. An entire aisle dedicated to beurre. They will even vacuum seal your butter for easy travel - and everyone visiting Paris knows it because the Beurre Bordier aisle is PACKED. For my New Yorkers... I kept asking myself - why didn't they model the Tin Building after Le Grande Epicerie?! It was giving Eataly vibes (I mean this in the most complimentary way). Missed opportunity!

If youre in town do yourself a favor and stop here. Get the butter! Trust me. I'm so thankful to the staff. I arrived 20 minutes before close and they showed me nothing but respect. I was personally escorted to the butter aisle. I was overwhelmed by the beauty of this place. I wish I had more time. I left with 3 different butters I can't wait to try and some caramels and cookies. This store is amazing. My favorite part was the vacuum process at the end so I could travel with my purchases. Top tier shopping experience from entry to exit it was nothing short of amazing.

A very bougie market which has everything! We stopped in right before going to the airport to have breakfast at one of the restaurants there (La Petit Cafe) and enjoyed crepes, croissants, and lattes. But our main goal was to get different types of delicious French butter and cheese to take home. They vacuum seal it for an extra euro so that it will keep. The guy at the cheese counter waived the extra charge though, which was indicative of our entire trip as we found everyone friendly, helpful and polite. You could easily spend hours here but we had to keep it pretty brief. I would definitely return and highly recommend.

Wow!!! If only we had an establishment like this in where I live. 2 buildings connected by sky bridges and multiple floors of goods and services that will satisfy your every whim and desire. I went there for the "beurre" (pronounced "brrrrr") or the infamous French Butter. Located near the Fromage (or cheese) Department in refrigerated cases, there is a vast array of beurre to choose from. Do some research on Google to be acquainted with the beurre nomenclature and you'll be prepared to select what you are looking for. While paying for your beurre bricks, for ask for vacuum sealer bags for an additional price to vacuum seal the beurre. There are also thermal bags available as well. However, there are so much to see and shop for. We spent a good 1/2 a day (we did have lunch) but enjoyed every minute.

A gourmet wonderland in the heart of Paris I stopped by to pick up some teas for a friend who's obsessed with them--and couldn't resist treating myself to something sweet from La Table inside. The selection is truly exceptional. La Grande Épicerie is a beautifully curated store full of gourmet delights and specialty items that make you want to take everything home. The quality is top-notch, and it's hard not to compare it to similar products in the U.S., which often cost more for far less quality. Whether you're shopping for gifts, pantry staples, or just indulging in a little food lover's day out, this place is absolutely worth a visit.

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.

This is one of the best places in Paris to get food souvenirs It's a gourmet luxury market. It has a huge selection of wine in the basement. It had salt, butter, cookies, pastries, chocolates and lots of other food items. Butter and cheese could be vacuum sealed for an extra euro. Several counters had food such a sushi, charcuterie pasta to order as well as a pastry counter There were also lots of things of prepackaged food for take away. It was easy to order food. The cashiers were efficient and helpful. It was a fun place to shop and get some good food and cool souvenirs.

There are 3 levels of goodness in there. It's a great place to get cheese, butter, fruits, wine, and fresh meat!, I went there to buy cheese and butter that you can have them vacuum seal so you can put it in your check-in luggage and left with so much more.

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.

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.

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

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!

YES YES AND YES! You've gotta check it out! It's a food lovers haven with specialty bays for everything that you can think of! The staff are really nice and helpful, it's clean and well stocked. This is a perfect place to come grab your French butter before departing back home and they will vacuum seal the butter for you too!

What can I say about this amazing food emporium? The selection is amazing! We cannot wait to go back and to bring some butter back!

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

Imagine euro-Whole Foods and that would be La Grande Épicerie! They have a vast selection of international foods or local favorites to choose from, as well as a robust wine/spirits selection. Recommend going hungry to enjoy any of the pre-prepared food sections, everything looked incredible! Such a cool stop to purchase high end French international foods. For like €1, they will vacuum seal products for you (like butter or cheese) to help pack for traveling. Unfortunately no VAT refund on items that are not wine/liquor/spirits. A great spot to visit to buy little treats for gifts!

Definitely a stop if you are in St Germain! I didn't get pastries this time though. Just butter to take home for myself and family!

Ambiance: so fancy! They have security upon entering the store and throughout. You'll find high end food products here and the perfect place to get gifts for yourself or others. From coffee, teas, chocolate, cookies, etc. Downstairs is their extensive collection of wines and spirits. Service: While the products are excellent, the service was not like the U.S. I was looking for a champagne and I didn't see any half bottles. I saw one of the wine staff was busy talking to someone just standing there and it looked like a personal chat. I waited a few minutes but finally interrupted them and I asked the guy. He rudely said I should check over there *and pointed to the area I had just checked. Maybe I missed it so I went to check. Not there. I waited about 10 minutes and he was STILL chatting with this person. At this point I'm like nah this dude isn't doing his job. He's just standing there talking to who seemed like a friend. The person didn't have anything in hand and no cart so he wasn't shopping. I interrupted again and I was like "can you show me where it is?" And he let out a loud disgruntled sigh and with an attitude said, "I'm with a customer" and walked me over to the area. He thought I was dumb or something bc it was clear he was having a personal conversation and that wasn't a regular customer. He was like "nope we don't have it. Must've ran out" and he went back to his personal conversation. Not pleased with this, I asked another staff who had now appeared and the talker left. This guy was much nicer and checked for me and he suggested I go upstairs to check the cold fridge for the size I was looking for. And that I may be in luck. I found a couple half bottles of champagne I was looking for. The first guy could've suggested this but decided to be a jerk and withheld this information. My husband and I went upstairs to pay and I was telling my mom about the rude guy downstairs. My mom was like I think I had the same guy. I had seen my mom was down there earlier. We described him to each ofher and yup, we both interacted with that same guy. We decided to go downstairs and find him to complain to his manager but lucky for him, the worker was no where to be found and didn't know his name. His colleagues refused to also provide his name. His lucky day. I bought lots of chocolate, wine, biscuits (cookies) and tea as gifts for ourselves and family & friends.

Popped in for snacks. Picked up a picnic. Fine chocolates and sea salts are great souvenirs.

Tres grande indeed! Le Erewhon de Paris. Quand je serai riche, j'achèterai leurs fraises tous les jours!

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!

Everything for your fairy-tail picnic at on the Siene. While we usually go to an open market and some smaller stores for charcuterie and fromage, we made last minute plans on a Monday and most of our go-tos were closed. Then I remembered Grand Epicerie at Bon Marche. Beautiful produce, including spectacular cherries and strawberries, boulangerie, patisserie, charcuterie, great wine selection, 100 kinds of mustard, salt -- you get the picture. Everyone is friendly and speaks English if you need. Think Harrod's of Paris. Spectacular!

The French equivalent of the Harrods Food Hall but better! Excellent baked goods and takeaway food which is helpful for tourists. It also has several small restaurants featuring different types of cuisine but be advised that those close at 6 pm but the store itself is open later. The food area is on the ground floor. The floors above contain home goods (linens, kitchen equipment, etc). Highly recommend l!

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

The best grocery store in Paris. We stop by every time we are in Paris but this time we actually made it to downstairs to the alcohol section and got awesome $30 wine to go with our charcuterie that we created from the things that we bought here. The truffle cheese was one of the favorite item that we picked up from here as well! i joke, but during an apocalypse, I would want to take shelter here!

Can I give this place 20 stars?? Are you a food shopper nut, like me??? I cannot tell you enough how much I loved this place. The main floor was a giant playground with different areas to shop. I loved it more than you know. Cheese area. Dairy area with high-end butter that they sealed up for me for travel. Meat dept. Bakery. International areas. And specialty areas galore. I love this place and wish I had found it earlier in my 2 weeks in Paris. The guy in the cheese area was super nice and was the area where they sealed the butter. I bought 10 and you can put up to 5 items per air-sealed bag. One of my favorite places

Love the selection and the people were so helpful and friendly. Can't wait to go back and stay longer - it was everything I expected. One entire aisle for Olive Oil. One entire aisle for salt. You get it. If you're looking for something, and they don't have it - it doesn't exist. Great experience.

Its an amazing experience walking through here for the food, and also visiting the other levels. I highly recommend going there and spending a couple of hours checking it out.

This place is amazing. It's a grocery store but think the most epic, amazing grocery store ever. They have a great selection of premade sandwiches and salades to go. The chocolate section is huge. If you're flying back to the US and want to bring back butter (which you SHOULD) they'll package it for travel for you. Walking thru the produce aisle you can actually smell the fresh berries and fruit.

If you're in a bit of a time crunch but you want access to lots of different flavors and specialities of France to bring home to friends, this is your one-stop shop, with price ranges for every budget.

Unbelievable gourmet luxe at this top Not stopping there is like not seeing the Eiffel Tower when visiting paris

Decisions, decisions, how do you choose with so much incredible looking food. Problem is you keep circling around cause you can't make your mind up. Of course given the address some things pare on the pricey side but the quality is excellent. I took off a star because they have no seating for those who purchase take away meals.

A proper food emporium opened by none other than LVMH! It's basically the food market of my dreams; I've been to many fancy markets, but nothing compares to La Grande. The literally have anything and everything. I'd say the price point is higher than normal, but it's worth it. The fruits were super fresh and the bakery section was both delectable and delicious. I stayed at a hotel literally down the block, so I was here basically all the time haha. If you're looking for gifts to bring back home then this would be a fabulous place to visit!

What a wonderful high quality place this is. If you're from the USA and think Whole Foods is high end, this place is a couple levels above.. as a foodie seeing what was available really made me want to cook!!

So I was in Paris on vacation with 2 families (4 adults, 4 teenagers). It is Christmas eve, and we decided to stay in our Airbnb for Christmas day instead of going out. But we wanted to splurge on some good food, so I googled "best grocery store in paris". This is what popped up. The experience is something I will not forget. Apparently this place is owned by Luis Vutton, and it shows. It feels like a very high-end luxury clothing store. We were there on Christmas eve towards the end of the day, and it was pandemonium. There were huge crowds of people looking to do exactly what we were -- namely splurge on some good food for the holiday. However it was well-staffed, and despite being crowded, we were able to browse and get what we needed. The fresh and prepared food areas (what we might call the "deli" in the USA) were amazing. The seafood section was huge. I really enjoyed some lobster baked pastries, and also ordered a cooked chicken (our airbnb did not have an oven, so we needed to get only prepared foods that we could heat). We also stocked up on some nice champagne, some fresh produce/fruit, pain, and many other goodies. This is definitely an expensive store. But to splurge for a special event or when you are traveling on vacation, this was a lot of fun. Check it out -- it is quite an experience!

Amazing. Hands down the best food emporium on the planet. The deli has the absolute best jambon beurre sandwiches- ask for it warmed up and get it with truffle butter. The desserts are works of art. I had the St. Honore and it was the best ending to the perfect lunch.

La Grande Epicerie was in past years the most luxurious grocery in Paris. Times have changed however. Some shelves are not fully stocked, the range of Bon Marche branded items has shrunk, the butcher shop rarely has veal these days, etc. Of course I still shop regularly at la Grande Epicerie but some of the sparkle has faded. Note to management: I saw a mouse running through the store this morning. You have to address this or else you will have customers running also, in the wrong direction.

There is a guard by the entrance to check your bags. Pricy but it has so much to offer - a food emporium - and the few items we tried were all very yummy. Many counters and tables give the shoppers an option to dine right there. Come for a drink or meal after a visit to MEP & Le Bon Marché. Bon Appetite.

This is my absolute favorite store in Paris to go to. When I don't know or can't think of what to eat I immediately think of Le Bon Marche and it's sister store dedicated to everything and anything food. I always feel like kid in a candy store when I stop by. When my stomach is happy then I'm happy and this store makes me happy.

Wow!!! What a great grocery and much more store!!! The store has a central grocery section and specialty shops around it, such as bakery et fromagerie. You have to visit this place if you're near Le Bon Marche.

Epic! Do not miss if you are in Paris. Mind blowing actually. Go early because it gets crazy, go at opening. I dropped in around 330pm and it was a mad house. I didn't buy anything but next time I come I will go at opening for sure.

I wandered up and down, up and down those aisles, agog that one single, multilevel store carries so many fine labels and variety of comestibles! Here lies the dream of every gourmand. Voilà! The layout was bit clunky for me, but every nook and cranny I did explore. The cave of magnums and such in the basement held sway over me,& I temporarily daydreamed I had piles of disposable income, so I could leisurely buy cases of wine and ship them to my house ( which already has a good few dozen bottles, nesting). The cheese, the specialty butter, the foie, the chocolate, the tea, the sweets, the water, the wine. I'll go check out Blvd Hausmann's Galeries Lafayette in March. Must be the greatest competitor to this behemoth.

This is like a high-end department store of food. There's cheeses, jams, jellies, foie gras, rillette, pates, chocolates everything and then some. I didn't come here to eat, (though I did buy a few fresh items to take back to my studio apart-hotel room, for breakfast the next day before I caught my early-morning flight home and for noshing in the park), I came here to buy my haul of foodstuffs to take back to Canada with the rules as outlined by the Government of Canada and the Canadian Food Agency's website: (inspection.gc.ca/food/information-for -consumers/travellers/what-can-i-bring-into-canada-/eng/1389648337546/1389648516990) Basically as long as it is vacuum-packed (for cheeses), is either in a closed tin container or a glass jar( for foie gras, rillette or jams) and is stable at room temperature and doesn't need refrigeration at all, you're good to go. Just make sure you pack it in your checked-in luggage, not your carry-on and that you declare it all at the airport once you get home. I did exactly that and told the customs agent back home that I followed the rules according to their website and he chuckled and let me jump right through. I wasn't hassled or stopped at all. Stuff I picked up: Foie Gras with truffles, cooking salt crystals with bits of truffles, red current jam/jelly (Bar le Duc), raspberry-red currant jam, violet flower jam, dried squid-ink pasta from Venice, dried lemon pasta, aged block of Parmesan cheese from Italy, chocolate. I saw lots of things I could find back home at specialty-food stores so I didn't even bother with those. Let me tell you that every morning, when I get some fresh croissants from my local bakery and eat them with the jams I picked up, it brings me right back to Paris. That alone makes it all worth it. I intend on shopping here again in a heartbeat anytime I come back to Paris.

A Paris must see! Rather you're looking for food for a picnic or souvenirs to bring home this is the place to stop! They have sections for all different types of food from all over the globe! They also have an extensive selection of prepared food! This is definitely on my must see list for anyone visiting Paris!
