Came to the Bastille Market to try one of the rotisserie chickens from here. I don't remember the…read morename of the exact place, but it was the last bird I consumed in France. My swan song from a disappointing trip in the bird department. Off the eye test, it doesn't get much better. The beautiful sight of tissi's rotating in front of a fire breathing oven, potatoes in the tray below collecting the chicken juices as they fell, had me ready to run around the Bastille plaza yelling "LE MOUVEMENT!!". I thought this was going to be my first high level bird in the City of Light. Much to my chagrin, the one I got was just lukewarm. I was ready for my fingerprints to be fully burned off. There was so much potential here, but as always, I have to judge what's in front of me. If I don't have my integrity I have nothing. It landed at an 8.1/10 on the restaurant scale which is good, but if it was hot it could have been up there with the greats in the rare 9 territory. Unrealized potential is one of the most depressing things in the world. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

I especially loved the prepared meat in the stall near the entrance (they have many prepared items to choose from--I ended up loving the duck foie gras and duck rillette). Also, people were helpful and willing to deal with my poor French :) As another reviewer mentioned, there aren't many (perhaps any) ready-to-way meals. But I wasn't looking for that, and I found the quality to be fantastic.

In the 12th Arrondissement is Marché d'Aligre which is a small market that has butcher shops, fish mongers, fruits and vegetables, and flowers. I'd recommend anyone in the area to check this place out, even for a short walkthrough.

Even though it may seem charming to walk the streets of Paris with an umbrella, I prefer to spend cold rainy days indoors, so I've spent most of the Winters here hibernating in my heated home. We were seeking something to bring to a goûter, or the afternoon snack between lunch and dinner. Even though my three friends were all French natives, no one had ever been to this market, so we meandered and shopped the stalls as tourists:) Fresh vegetables for crudites, cheese from cows, sheep, and goats, and bread made with pumpkin seeds, nuts, and sesame. It wouldn't be a French market without wine, and local beef. If you don't want to cook, you can buy prepared food to warm up at home, or snacks to nibble on as you await dinner. The center area was full of bins of oysters, or you can opt for seafood, already cooked and ready to eat.Some of the stalls were closed on Saturday, like the one selling pastries, but you can always have fresh fruit for dessert :)
