One of our highlights of our trip to Spain. We couldn't have found a better place to buy souvenirs…read morebefore our trip back home. I originally found this place on chowhound. It was listed as a must visit for souvenirs and I added it to our itinerary. My friends were a bit hesitant to come here with me because they had no plans to buy any oils or vinegars but after our awesome tour and guidance from Carlos, one of the business owners, they were ALL IN. Carlos thoroughly explained every single product in their store and answered questions like how everything was made, ingredients, quality, etc. We got to taste everything our hearts desired. I ended up buying a couple bottles of white truffle oil, hazelnut oil, date vinegar, and balsamic vinegar. I've never tried such a wide variety of oils and vinegars and trust me when I say this but it's going to be the best thing you've ever tried. Who the hell knew date vinegar existed? It's so sweet, thick, rich, and so delicious. I have no idea how to use it but I wouldn't mind drinking a spoonful everyday. Their balsamic vinegar seriously changed my life. It's so thick and so tasteful just on it's own. I need to throw out my market bought vinegar at home. Once you pick out what you want, you choose the type of bottle and size. If you're traveling, they'll seal the bottle and if you're gifting it, they'll wrap it nicely for you. Superb customer service! We were so hungry after shopping here, Carlos gave us some restaurant recommendations and even called the restaurant to reserve a table for us. He's so hospitable and awesome! Highly recommend this shop!

The owner is the second generation operator of this establishment which opened for business in 1946. Personable, knowledgable, informative and engaging would easily describe Monsoeur Nou.

An affable, helpful bear of a man, he pumped my arm in greeting. Then he proceeded to struggle speaking in English in order to accommodate me. I wanted a gift basket and Mssr Nou had many good suggestions for filling it out with all manner of charcutery. He's made it all there in the back of his shop. He has his own label tins of various pates, too. (I bought a few of those for myself and tasted one on crusty French bread that very night. Delicious!) I wish Mssr Nou operated a shop in my hometown!

Cafe de la paix is an institution in Perpignan but I only tried the food for the first time…read morerecently. I was there as part of a birthday party on a Saturday night and the restaurant was packed. There were other groups as well and people kept coming in and asking for a table until about 11! The menu offers a large choice of starters, pasta, pizzas and mains such as meat, fish and skewers. I opted for a salmon and scallops skewer. Considering it was a busy night and we were a group, I would say the food arrived quickly and the 14 of us were able to start eating altogether without waiting too long for everyone's food to arrive. My skewer was served with a side of linguini and vegetable julienne. I was not enthused by either of them, especially compared with the deliciously creamy gratin dauphinois that accompanied the duck magret on the plate opposite me! That said, the salmon was perfectly cooked and the scallops were just right as well, a little on the underdone side. For dessert, we all had the birthday cake which was an Opera: a thin layer of sponge cake with crispy praline and chocolate mousse on top. The cake was fabulous but the slices we got were double or three times the serving we would have eaten had we cut it ourselves. Most of us could not finish it... So beware, keep space for dessert! The service was friendly but a tiny bit rude sometimes. For a busy night this can be understandable though, but not excused so that's 4 stars for Cafe de la Paix!
