They even serve jams, wines, and butter. The butter... yellow, thick, flavorful.. it had TASTE. I almost enjoyed this as much as the cheese. But the cheese. Make sure you at least try the truffle. There are two with truffle but get the hard truffle cheese. We devoured it. So, pick up a baguette, some jam, fruit from the shop next door and a bottle to treat yourself to a lovely picnic in the garden.

I understand that. (Mostly true, no offense to La Laiterie.) So maybe we have different ideas of what "most local" means, but after clearing it up I got a great Brie. I'd come back.

They were each carefully displayed, perfectly ripened and delicious. Unfortunately, I do not know the proper names of the cheeses as our charming tour guide Ella selected them but our top three favorite were the brie with truffles, a cows milk cheese (it is square and and has a light orange rind) that was washed with beer, and a sheeps milk cheese (a grey cylinder) with ash on the exterior. I do not believe the man who helped us spoke English if that is important to you, but I find with my few words of French, a translation app and pointing I can manage just about anything.

The lady who helped us spoke limited English & w/ our elementary French, we were able to get 3 cheeses for our picnic in Le Jardin du Luxembourg. We got a truffle gouda (my favorite of our purchases), a goat cheese, and an extremely creamy brie. Definitely stop by if you need some cheese for your dinner, a picnic or afternoon snack. They do take credit cards.

The staff is super friendly and knowledgable and really helped a novice like me out. I could not be more pleased and will return again before I say au revoir.

It also came with a basket of the best bread we have had since arriving in France. What is awesome about this place is the owner, Matthieu. He was so nice and explained the cheese, the type, and where it came from. Of the 14, we liked about 10 or 11, a couple were a bit strong, and one of them was so strong we could not do it. But it was an awesome experience and great cheese. You must try this for the Fromage experience. Thank you. If you are local, this guy should be your cheese guy. Awesome.

Our friend from Paris, Pierre, found this place for us to meet up at and have some snacks. Even…read morethough it was chilly, we decided to sit outside because they had heaters. We let Pierre do the ordering and he didn't disappoint. I am not a huge cheese connoisseur, but I do enjoy the ones I like thoroughly! And, delicious sourdough bread to go along with it, yes please! They ordered wine and I ordered a Stella beer. The different cheeses were great, for the most part for me lol And we couldn't stop eating the bread! The waiter spoke English and was knowledgeable. Service was a tiny bit slow, as we were the only customers outside. However, I think in this city, that's how it usually is. People sit and take their time, which we did, but we also needed more bread! :) Definitely recommend this place! But beware, there was also a young child that kept coming up to our table asking for our food, with an adult standing nearby waiting for her as she went table to table. The sadness and questions of this child did take away a bit of our nice experience :(

For a while I mistook this cheese shop as part of a big, impersonal chain. To think of the number…read moreof months that I deprived myself makes me shudder! Not only is the small shop packed to the brim with glorious cheeses of all varieties (my favorite right now is a smoky Basque brebis that I've used in salads, sandwiches and in a fantastic vegetarian meatball dish that I've been rocking lately) they also have a stellar selection of dairy items. From Ribot lait fermenté and homemade crème fraiche to tart, smooth yogurt and a range of glass-jarred desserts that makes a fabulous finish to a dinner party since you can propose a different flavor for each guest (the panna cotta and rice pudding with salted caramel sauce are divine), this place has all of your dairy cravings covered. Plus I love the hilarious floppy black traditional Normand hats that the salespeople wear.

The employees happily explained the choices we had and what to expect from each pastry if needed. The ambiance is as expected being surrounded by delicious pastries. Only good things.... Only good things..... They are part of a shopping mall that stays open about an hour after the regular retail stores close. This way you can get what you really came for without having to carry it around while shopping. Once outside one can go from window to window looking at the Christmas displays. This is a great place to sample different items such as 10 different flavors of eclairs. How can you give this less than 5 stars? You really can't. I love this place.

Galeries Lafayette Gourmet is the gourmet wing of the famous Galeries Lafayette, a multi-structure…read moredepartment store complex on Boulevard Haussmann. I've been three times in the last three years, despite not living in the country. It's a little hectic and hard to navigate for me to love unreservedly, but there's no doubt that it offers a plethora of good food. I can't think of anything quite like it in the U.S., but if you've been to the Harrods food halls or department stores in Asia, you might recognize the dense arrangement of mini restaurants and food purveyors, spread out across several floors. My first visit was for an hour-long hangout with friends, and we had a hell of a time finding a place to sit down while we got a coffee or snack. We went up and down the escalator scouting things out, but almost every spot with seating was overrun on a Saturday afternoon. We ended up at an okay pan-Asian spot called Rice Street between lunch and dinner service, getting boba and sheltering from the chaos. I went two days in a row on my more recent trip to Paris, first for a Glace BACHIR pop-up, and then to get an easy on-the-go lunch before getting sucked into the broader maw of the main Galeries Lafayette. It was crowded both days, the ground floor crawling with people. Both the ice cream and my sandwich, from Chez Meunier, were delicious. I haven't quite figured out Galeries Lafayette Gourmet, but it's a worthwhile destination if you want to run around trying pastries and chocolates and other French delectables. It's kind of overwhelming, but you will likely eat well.
