Maison Plisson

Le Marais, Ménilmontant & Belleville


Framed by glass-canopied wrought-iron girders, this gourmet emporium incorporates a covered-market-style, terrazzo-floored food hall filled with exquisite, mostly French produce: meat, vegetables, cheese, wine, chocolate, jams, freshly baked breads and much more. If your appetite's whetted, its cafe, opening to twin terraces, serves charcuterie, foie gras and cheese platters, bountiful salads and delicacies such as olive-oil-marinated, Noilly Prat–flambéed sardines.

Its second location, La Maison Plisson St-Honoré, is in the 1er.
