The layout and selection of items were very similar to what we're used to back home in Chicago. We stopped in for a late afternoon lunch or perhaps an early dinner, but unfortunately, the meal was underwhelming. My husband ordered the ribs, which arrived overcooked and dry.

Doing it this way saves a lot of money that can be used for other things on your trip. As we travelled throughout France and Italy we found several of these stores. The presentation was always good, the prices weren't too bad, we were able to find what we were looking for and the stores were clean.
