Came to the Bastille Market to try one of the rotisserie chickens from here. I don't remember the…read morename of the exact place, but it was the last bird I consumed in France. My swan song from a disappointing trip in the bird department. Off the eye test, it doesn't get much better. The beautiful sight of tissi's rotating in front of a fire breathing oven, potatoes in the tray below collecting the chicken juices as they fell, had me ready to run around the Bastille plaza yelling "LE MOUVEMENT!!". I thought this was going to be my first high level bird in the City of Light. Much to my chagrin, the one I got was just lukewarm. I was ready for my fingerprints to be fully burned off. There was so much potential here, but as always, I have to judge what's in front of me. If I don't have my integrity I have nothing. It landed at an 8.1/10 on the restaurant scale which is good, but if it was hot it could have been up there with the greats in the rare 9 territory. Unrealized potential is one of the most depressing things in the world. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

I especially loved the prepared meat in the stall near the entrance (they have many prepared items to choose from--I ended up loving the duck foie gras and duck rillette). Also, people were helpful and willing to deal with my poor French :) As another reviewer mentioned, there aren't many (perhaps any) ready-to-way meals. But I wasn't looking for that, and I found the quality to be fantastic.

It is one of 2 regular bio stands at the market, but you have to check them both because the product availability varies from week to week. I go to the market on Sundays but they are open on other days as well - but I am not sure what days this particular stand is around besides Sunday. They have a deal for paniers (baskets) that is something like 10 euros for 4 kilos of assorted produce. Check it out - definitely a good bargain for organic products. It's best to go early to have a good choice, but late market goers can have some last-minute deals...

The vendors were kind and polite and were understanding of our limited French language. We had left over bread and cheese available for our afternoon picnic otherwise we would have purchased some of the most delicious looking cheeses and salamis at this market.
