Clean, organized, chic, and very chill vibe. Totally overwhelmed by what is available, and it makes you think you should rent an apartment in Paris, shop here for cooking meals back at home, and not visit restaurants. Name it, they have it! Fruits, veggies, pastas, foie gras, rigglits, duck confit, meats, cheeses, confectioneries, canned goods, breads, wines, spirits, cookies, butter, creams, and the list goes on and on! Name an item, and there were at least 20 variations or varieties of that item! Brought back a suitcase of stuff! Was shopping for over 4 hours! Had coffee and lunch with wine while shopping. The experience was reminiscent of shopping at the huge Macy's department store on 5th Avenue in New York City, thanks to the dining options available while shopping. Must visit before departing the country.

Shall I compare thee to a California's Erewhon?…read more Y'all know I can be wowed by a fabulous grocery store. This one is surely opulent, but crowded out the wazoo. The North American section made me giggle. I grabbed some fancy French mustards and cookies to bring home for friends and family. Unsure if any locals actually come here or if it's ALL tourists. The layout was extremely confusing to me. Now, I'm sure there are some simply fantastic elements to this store that evaded me due to the sea of people inside. But, I think Erewhon had more going for it. Artistic, clean, bountiful displays of produce. More organization, better lighting, etc. I felt like I could actually see the products at Erewhon, whereas here I was fighting with a lot of noise.

Little Davoli is the restaurant right across the street for sit down dining. The food ordered is brought over covered from Davoli when ready. We started off with Greek salad and a bruscetta appetizer. Both were fresh and delicious. For entrees we chose the spaghetti alla carbonara and the spaghetti alla Bolognese. The pasta in both dishes was undercooked; no where near the al dente stage. Neither dish was very flavorful, although the serving size was decent. Casual, small, restaurant which was very busy. Service was fine.

The mushroom pappardelle was tasteless and lacked flavor. The mushroom risotto was bland AF. The pasta was not good. The risotto was not good. The servers were rushed and borderline rude.

Near the piano lounge, there was a full service bakery where we purchased several fresh pastries, which we immediately ate. This type of department store you just dont find in America. The only negative was there were no bathrooms on the property. The security guard advised the bathroom was in the McDonalds restaurant next door - this seemed very odd.

They allow one group at a time into the shop for a fully curated Jamon Beurre experience. Yep, that is all you can get here. Ham sandwiches, but it's a much more involved experience than that. When you walk in, there is an entire wall with a cooler displaying every kind of ham possible. You have to pick whether you want cured or just baked ham. What region? They offer Italian, French, Spanish and then you have to narrow it down to the region! Then you do the same with the cheese. I ended up getting two sandwiches, the cured ham from Spain's basque country paired with Ossau-Iraty, or basque sheep milk cheese. My other sandwich was a French baked ham sandwich with comte. Which was the winner? I have to say, the cured meat from Spain was out of this world and in our taste test, was the top winner. I know, I shouldn't say that in France!

The owner is a very kind Italian woman who is very knowledgeable about the meats and the cheeses. She makes sure that you end up with a pairing you are happy with! They serve jambon beurre sandwiches which is basically just ham and butter on a baguette. However, you can add cheese for 4.50 euro. The decision tree really is: 1) cured vs cooked ham 2) cheese or no cheese 3) cow vs sheep's cheese. My husband and I both went for the cooked ham since this one is more traditional in France. The cooked ham has different flavors out of which we got one with truffle ham and the other with Bergamont which is a citrus fruit. We both got cheese: the truffle ham was paired with a buttery and sweet cow's emmental, while the Bergamont we paired with a nutty and earthy sheep's Ossau-Iraty. Both pairings worked beautifully! The baguette was perfect. It had a substantial crust without being too hard and had a fluffy and moist inside. The quality of the products was evidently very high. There is no seating inside so we took ours to the Temple Square a few blocks away since it was a beautiful day! Highly recommend you try. Not sure I would use longer than 20 min out of a trip to line up for it so I suggest you come during off hours.

We had foie gras (their specialty) very delicious, escargot, smoked salmon salad, french onion soup, and plenty of baguette. Helpful servers speak English well, they were quite patient and friendly. All the food we had was eye-opening, in both taste and presentation. We arrived 30 minutes before the kitchen closed, with several groups in front of us, but they kept us apprised of the situation and prepared a place for us outside as soon as it was available. We placed our order and the food arrived quickly; in the meantime several more diners came by and were seated for wine and desserts. It was fun for people-watching at such a late hour as many groups and couples were still out and about. While waiting to be seated, we had a chance to peruse the deli area with many varied terrines and foie gras, pickles, smoked salmon, caviar and wines. I wish I was more knowledgeable about their products, but I was amazed that my French from high school and college (40 years ago!) held up as well as it did!

We tried the jambon sandwich and chicken baguette, paired with a golden ale beer and coffee. Both sandwiches were outstanding--freshly made with incredible bread, generous fillings, and a perfect balance of textures. The strong cheese they offer on the side is a must; it pairs beautifully with the sandwiches, and the staff even lets you try it before deciding, which is a great touch. We did go around 2pm and unfortunately the pastrami was already sold out, which speaks to how popular it is. We also waited about 30-40 minutes in line, but it moved steadily and didn't feel too painful. We were lucky to find a spot to dine in, though most people grab their food to go. Service was friendly and quick despite the constant rush. The atmosphere is more grab-and-go than sit-down, with very limited indoor seating. Most people take their sandwiches to enjoy at a nearby park, which actually adds to the experience. Be prepared for a queue, but it moves faster than expected--and the payoff is absolutely worth it for what might be the best sandwich in the city.

Contrary to the other reviewer, I didn't find any of the staff impolite or rude; our two experiences there were wonderful. The paninis were cheap, hot, bursting with cheese and cured meats. One thing I hate is when paninis are over-stuffed, so that the middle of them stay cold and the cheese stays unmelted when they're pressed. These sandwiches were free of this mistake and kept us satisfied throughout the afternoon. Step inside and you'll see all the wonderful prepared foods -- perfect for grabbing and picnicking along the Seine.

Actually, there are two lines, one for take away (on the left) and one for sit down. Both lines are just as long, but the take away moves much faster. Fairly organized. For the take away side, an employee takes orders while you wait in line, to expedite the process. (If you are from CA, think of an In and Out burger drive thru business model). Overall the food is good and reasonably priced. And great advertising seeing everyone walk around with your "sandwiches." Ambiance - Crazy busy. Both inside and outside. But plenty of employees (again both inside and outside). Fairly organized considering the volume. Service - Good. Price - Reasonable.10-15 Euros for a pita sandwich. $11.60 to $17.50 US.

On first pass, there was a line at the take-out window. When I returned to dine in, there was a rather significant line there as well. My party of 2 was apparently the magic number because they had us stand in the front of the line and we were seated inside almost immediately. The food here is served so rapidly that I seriously doubt anyone needs to wait long as there's a constant turning of tables. Schwarma and Fallafel and whatever else we consumed here was so fresh, delicious, and satisfying that I tried coming back here again the night before leaving Paris. Unfortunately for me, they close early on Shabbat, so I had to be satisfied with my single visit. Outstanding experience, delicious food as over 2,000 reviews already attested to.
