Located just inside the covered market at Place d’Aligre, this little shop is easy to miss, nearly hidden behind its own refrigerated snack case. But it’s a gem, with a solid assortment of Belgian, German, and French beers at very low prices.
This unassuming bar, tucked on a side street near the Marché d’Aligre, boasts an impressive collection of over 100 beers. The selection is largely Belgian and mostly in bottles, though the tap choices are above average.
Although it appears on first glance like any other train station-adjacent café-bar, this place is a must for serious beer geeks in Paris. Their rotating selection of taps includes kooky craft beers from all around Europe, as well as more well-known Belgians like Chouffe, Chimay and Leffe.
The menu is seafood-heavy at this new address, adjacent to the marché Aligre.
This Argentian restaurant and traiteur specializes in empanadas and helado — ice cream.
This fromagerie is in the covered Marché Beauvau, adjacent to the Marché Aligre.

Visit this lovely Alsatian épicerie at the marché Aligre for specialties like flammenkuchen, bretzels and foie gras, plus regional wines and beers.
A user-friendly (and increasingly omnipresent) olive oil shop featuring a range of top quality oils from small producers in Provence.
Join the rest of the neighborhood here on Sunday afternoons for a post-market glass of wine (direct from the barrel), a plate of cheese or charcuterie or, in winter, a dozen oysters. Bottles to go, too.
You’ll find hearty cocottes at this neighborhood favorite, accompanied by piles of purée or frites. Finish with ripe cheese and a gigantic ile flottante, and then roll home.
“Pas comme les autres,” is the motto at kitschy cool Pink Flamingo Pizza, and they aren’t kidding. Take-out and delivery available at all locations.
For a visit to the south of France without leaving Paris, visit this shop, which specializes in bottles from the Languedoc and Roussillon. Two locations, in the 12th and 14th.
A must for bubble lovers, this shop near Gare de Lyon offers about 200 different Champagne references.
This shop off the marché Aligre features fair trade chocolates, and serves breakfast and brunch, too.
Fabrice Le Bourdat makes some of the most beautiful — and acclaimed — desserts, viennoisserie, and breads in Paris.
