With two locations in Paris, Retour à la Terre will seduce you with its cornucopia of fruits, vegetables and other treasures. The restaurant invites you to unleash the pleasure of your senses through bio living. The staff, friendly and knowledgeable, will excitedly show you to the curly kale bin while pointing out the health benefits of this phenomenon. Best to call first to see if they have any in, as kale aficionados are often lining out the door in anticipation of new stock.

La Récolte is taking the Paris bio scene by storm. Offering only 100 percent French-grown products, this harvest is dishing out fresh, seasonal products to Paris, including the ‘new beef’. What may have seemed just like an unusual weed for farmers at a time, kale has hit the shelves running as a new favorite green in the markets of Paris.

Terroir d’Avenir

Butcher, Fishmonger, Grocery Store, French

This happening little row of shops reminds us of the childhood story of the three little pigs, except in this version one little piggy goes to the fishmonger, another little piggy goes to the butcher and the last little piggy visits the vegetable shop and squeals all the way home. A bit pricier than other bio shops around town, Terror d’Avenir carries more obscure products, like dinosaur kale, to get your inner chef inspired.
