This is the main foodie market hall in Colmar, and it's small but filled with fantastaic offerings…read more I never pass up the chance to visit a good food hall in Europe, and this one didn't disappoint. The Marche Couvert is located in the middle of old town in a lovely building. It's free to enter, so at least go in to look around even if you don't plan on buying any food. Inside, you'll find a mix of local produce, cheeses, meats, wines, and a few prepared-food stands that make it really tempting to grab a bite on the spot. The atmosphere is warm and lively, with vendors who are generally friendly and happy to chat (especially if you show a little curiosity about what they're selling). It's also a nice break from the more touristy streets outside. It's still very popular, but in a more relaxed way. I was enamored by the fresh pasta stand, especially because the proprietors were speaking Italian. I couldn't pass this up, so I ordered a small portion of homemade cheese tortellini with tomato sauce. Within 10 minutes, my snack was ready (and it was delicious). Hubby elected for some oysters with beer, and enjoyed them. There isn't a lot of seating inside, so be aware if you need a place to rest your feet. Some of the larger stalls had seating if you ordered food or beverages from them (but it was still nearly impossible to get a seat). This market isn't worth a trip just to Colmar to visit, but I'd consider it a must-do for any foodie who is in the area.

Great place for a snack, shopping for a picnic, or a cup of coffee on a rainy day!…read moreMany vendors and cafès. We enjoyed the hot cocoa ; ) You can sit on the terrace and view the canal up close. Such a cool place to hang out and relax during your busy day.

It seems like we drank a lot of wine in the two days we were in Strasbourg, and after spending some…read moretime in the Christkindelsmärik drinking glühwein and eating crepes, I wanted something a bit more substantial but not quite a full sit down meal. At this Carrefour, which is deceptively deep, I found a great bakery rack with baguettes and amazingly, a tub of taramasalata (a Greek spread made with roe) and some cheese. While it made a huge mess of the hotel room, it was perfectly delicious and satisfying. Wine (some chilled), some produce, canned goods, ready-to-heat foods, juices, meats, cheese, frozen meals. While maybe you couldn't do a full home shop here, you can definitely get enough for your hotel room or your apartment. Prices seemed decent but I wasn't checking that closely.

Zurich, Switzerland Great Local Supermarket Near Our…read moreAirbnb! We had just arrived in Zurich and needed some essentials ~ shampoo, conditioner, water, snacks, and of course, some beer. Luckily, this supermarket was just a short walk from our Airbnb. The store is well-stocked with everything from fresh produce to ready-to-eat meals. We were pleasantly surprised to find a machine that makes fresh orange juice on the spot - my SO was so impressed, he grabbed one right away! I wandered over to the chocolate aisle and was absolutely overwhelmed (in the best way). They had good deals too. So many options! I had a tough time deciding what to bring back for friends. You can pay with either card or cash, and we found the employees friendly and speaks good English. The store was never crowded during any of our visits, which made shopping even more pleasant. Definitely a convenient and well-run spot if you're staying nearby! It's very near the train station. It's clean and organized.

Prices are higher than average, but they are within a tourist destination, but everything you're looking for is easy to find, and at hand. The bakery was delicious, always get the seeded croissant roll!
