La Grande Épicerie, Food store and coffee house in the 16th arrondissement, Paris
La Grande Épicerie is a food store and coffee house on Rue de Passy in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. Its aisles are lined with products from France and around the world, ranging from fresh produce and cheeses to wines and spices, all set beneath tall ceilings and large windows.
The building on Rue de Passy was once part of a larger department store that served Parisians for many decades. Its tall ceilings and large windows are a reminder of that earlier era.
La Grande Épicerie on Rue de Passy is known for seasonal events like Easter egg hunts and Epiphany galette workshops where children work alongside pastry chefs. These gatherings turn a shopping trip into a shared moment around French food traditions.
The address is in the 16th arrondissement and is easy to reach by metro, with La Muette station on line 9 being the closest stop. Those who prefer a calmer visit should come early in the morning or later in the afternoon, especially on weekends and holidays.
Since 2019, the store has housed a restaurant called Caterina, opened by an Italian chef and focused on dishes from Naples. This means you can sit down to a southern Italian meal in the middle of a Parisian food store.
