I have previously reviewed this location but admittedly, I stopped going to it for a while because…read moreI had not visited this part of town for a while. However, when I broke my foot over the summer, I began to use their "Drive" offering which is their online ordering and pick up service or "click and collect". This has changed my weekly shopping and I am now back to being a regular SuperU customer. The interface for their online ordering is very easy to use and the categories are well organized. I appreciate that you have the option to allow for substitutions if an ordered item becomes unavailable during fulfillment. There are multiple opportunities for savings too. They also provide the choice to pay at either time of purchase online or pick up. Pick up is very easy. You can scan a bar code you receive via email or use your SuperU card to find your order. A sales associate then brings the carts to your car, alerts you to any substitutions, gives you your receipt and offers to help place things in your car. Great service!

Grand Frais is like the Whole Foods of France. They have produce that you don't generally find in…read moreother stores and it is always fresh (like their name). I come to Grand Frais whenever I passing through Tarbes. They have black garlic, broccolini, Chinese 5 spice and halloumi, most of which I can not find elsewhere. The selection of fish and cheese is top notch, and it was here that I was introduced to smoked garlic bulbs. The bakery at this store is separate but very busy and quite popular. I have been here at various times of the day and there is always a line! Prices are mixed: some are higher and some are lower in comparison to other supermarkets in the area. However, the quality is always superior.

I was excited to see that we were finally getting a Mangeons Frais (the smaller version of Grand…read moreFrais) near us. They have very fresh vegetables and fruit. They also sell great olive oil. The store has a very small dairy selection. I wish there were more types of cheese and products in general like its larger counterpart but what they do have is very good. The parking lot has a goo number of spaces directly in front of the store. Checkout is very quick. The store is also very ecofriendly, as customers are given metal bowls for their produce to be weighed.

There are multiple grocery stores near us that are close together. Casino has become our go to…read morestore for most things because of their great prices, good selection and easy parking. Although it is large, Casino is smaller in comparison to the other nearby supermarkets. It does, however, have a wide variety of staples for your kitchen pantry like dried beans, pasta, cheese, frozen vegetables (my favorite selection of any store near me), wine and spirits, and cleaning supplies. Checkout is usually a breeze here with minimal wait times. My only issue is the lack of fish and produce. The produce selection is quite a bit smaller and they often run out of items.

This indoor market brings together several food purveyors: caterer Maison Picabea, Kaidouchi…read moreFisherman, cheesemonger La Crèmerie du Comminges, baker Le Petit Moulin (from my village), and the chocolatier, Aztek. The products are all seasonal and locally sourced. There are tables to sit down and it is a popular place to have lunch in addition to shop. In an era where it is increasingly common to shop at hypermarchés, it is great to be able to support local businesses. Parking is tight near the market but there is the lot at "the Cube" two blocks away. It is open 6 days a week (closed Mondays), and is open 8:00 am - 2:00 pm every day except Friday and Saturday, when it is open 8:00 am - 7:00 pm.

Biocoop is where I go to shop when I am either looking for an obscure ingredient or when I am in…read morevegetarian mode, as they carry ingredients that I can't find elsewhere in stores near me. There is an excellent selection of tofu, both plain and flavored. I really like the wide selection of organic fruits and vegetables, kombucha, seaweed, nuts and whole grain flour, and all natural beauty products. Prices here are a bit higher for some things like fruit and veggies but comparable for kombucha and flour. Parking is easy and the store is always quite clean.

My husband and I had to pick up a purchase at the Party next door so we decided to pop into this…read moreIntermarché, which is a super (large) Intermarché. The store is well located right off of the highway in a shopping center with several stores and an Intermarché gas station. I was very pleased to see the sushi station. This is the best supermarket sushi I have had since I have been in France. The rice was properly cooked, sashimi well sliced and the salmon was rich and buttery. The fruit and vegetable selection is abundant, as was the fish counter (poissonerie). The store is well staffed and there was a minimal wait at the check out. Lots of covered parking available.

We are very fortunate to have such a wonderful bakery nearby. The croissants are some of the very…read morebest in Haute-Garonne. They also have a variety of breads, some of which are sweet (e.g. pain des épices). There are also pizzas at lunch, chaussons (sort of like an apple turnover) and tarts. During the lockdown, there was artisanal flour available for sale. My husband and I adore this bakery and try to buy all of our baked goods here when possible.
