It was a cool experience to see the place for Julia child shopped. Store opened in 1820. It is…read moresmall with narrow aisles, but filled with all of the cooking supplies you could ever need. It is still definitely a store for chefs and people in the food, industry rather than tourist. More tourist are going to the shop, but it doesn't really accommodate a lot of people.

The staff were helpful if you ask them questions. I actually went outside after a few minutes because the store was small and crowded. The area around the store was a nice place to and people watch.

Wonderful selection of cookware and bakeware in Paris…read more It's not a far walk from the metro station through some quaint Paris neighborhoods. The store is not huge but has a lot of selection crammed into a modest space. They have products from all over the world and all sorts of items for cooking and baking including pans of all kinds, small appliances, fondant, silicone molds, colorings, and so much more. The staff were friendly, spoke English, and seemed happy to help. It was super hot in the store, though. Check their hours as they close for an hour mid-day on Saturday. We found a few silicone mats (Silpats) for baking macarons, but be warned that the sizes are not exactly the same as those sold in the U.S., so they might not perfectly fit your baking sheets. They had the versions for bread as well (Silpans). Prices seemed quite good compared to prices paid in the U.S. probably since these particular items are made in France. This was definitely a fun place to grab a few baking items!

There were so many molds and tools and everything! I only ended up getting some great pastry bags, a rose mold and a few other small things. If I had more time I would have purchased a knife or two, there are some nice ones. The store is in a perfect location. It's within walking distance from a mall and Notre-dame isn't too far. If or when I'm ever back in Paris I plan on buying a lot more. If you're in to baking or cooking don't skip this place!

Luc was our guide and chef, and did a really great job. We enjoyed shopping for ingredients at the market just a few blocks away from the Le Foodist kitchen. Once back to the kitchen, Luc gave us the run down of what we would be making. Instructions were clear, and we all worked together to put a 3 course lunch together. I even learned a few cool new techniques such as a simple "sous vide" by tightly wrapping chicken in plastic wrap and cooking in hot water. Fun, educational and delicious. They offer a variety of different classes and I would highly recommend when visiting Paris.

The process was so easy and friendly from start to finish - booking with Fred was prompt and very accommodating, and Chef Stefane welcomed us in making us feel like we were visiting a friend in Paris. The facility was clean and beautifully appointed (and air conditioned!), making a comfortable experience. All 4 of us enjoyed the process, learned so much, and loved the tea while we sampled our finished product. We took the extras with us - what a treat for days! In addition, Stefane went above and beyond to help us plan our remaining days in Paris - we were so grateful for his kindness and local knowledge! Highly recommend, and we will definitely be back when we visit again!

They have some lockers up front for your belongings and a coat rack. Our guests were late. The ladies let us in to a waiting area where they had snacks and coffee/tea. We hung out on the couches. The chef was so kind as to wait to start the class for us and she even stayed late so we had our full class time. Wow. We made croissants and other pastries. The recipes were given to us via QR code at the end of the class. We were able to ask questions throughout. Chef was making jokes and making sure everyone was pulling their weight. In the end, she created a gorgeous table scape of our items and even organized them as to who made what. We worked in teams and I think the lady team items looked better than the guy team items. Haha. Everything tasted good though! Chef opened a bottle of champagne for us at the end and we drank and ate. We took everything home in large paper bags to savor again. The class was so fun and very safe. It was worth every penny. In fact just being on their email list is worth it. They have wonderful emails with recipes!

I don't really have room for any more pots and pans, but it's always fun to browse. They have utensils from butter spreaders to zesters, and tea and coffee sets and cups give you an option of making a beverage at home. Lights, tables, throws, curtains, and coordinated linens to enhance your decor. They even have practical things like cleaning supplies and tools. The most practical part of this store was their attached cafe, with Swedish snacks and sweets to sustain you as you shop:) Prices are reasonable, neither the lowest and nor the highest for brand names and types of products; you may find lower prices in the big department stores during sales, but this place will have less crowds and better service.

The shop is beautifully merchandised with items from Europe and Japan. I spent 90 Euros and then went to eat in the little cafe attached. When my friend and I were finished eating we walked through the shop again. I took a couple of photos of some nice displays. As we were leaving the store, a sales person approached us with a suspicious look and started asking questions as to what we were doing there. I am not sure if she thought I had been stealing or she saw me take the two photos (of displays) and was angry. Nevertheless. I explained to her that I myself was a shop owner, was excited to see many of the same designers and admired the merchandising. I told her I actually personally knew some of the designers (which is true) and I thought that might be of interest to her. She was still suspicious. I told her I had just spent the 90 Euros at her shop. She never smiled or apologized. Furthermore, the woman that rang up my sale was unfriendly. When I asked if she could wrap the delicate ceramics, she made no real effort and seemed annoyed. It is really a shame because it is a beautiful store and very well curated. They need some customer service lessons! I am afraid I will not return.
