Ppoppo Mart: An Asian grocery store in Bordeaux

First of its kind in Bordeaux, it brings a bit of innovation to Rue Saint-Rémi. In the midst of eclectic restaurants, Ppoppo Mart aims to democratize Korean culture in Bordeaux. The little sister of Bibibap and Iké (freshly arrived gourmet baos in the Grands-Hommes district) focuses on a wide and complete range of Korean products.

In its 350 m2 spread over 2 levels, the shelves are filled with trendy products, both food and beauty. While K-Beauty, K-pop, and K-food are on the rise, online orders are flying off the shelves. No need for the people of Bordeaux to place orders, all the flagship products from the Land of the Morning Calm are hidden in the colorful shop with essentials also imported from Vietnam, China, Japan, or Thailand.

A Korean food & beauty offer

The most popular? The food and snacking section with the famous instant noodles that fly off the shelves (the corner is often emptied), the fresh products ("Kimchi", "pickled radishes", "rice cakes" or "mandu") but also a great selection of typical Korean alcohols and frozen products that are a hit (ice creams, pastries, marinades, sauces and condiments).

As Asian influences take more and more place in our daily meals, all seasoning products are gaining great success. And to allow residents to find their favorite dishes served at Bibibap, they offer them in a version of ready-to-eat meals to go. What a brilliant idea! In response to the general demand, K-Beauty is slowly taking its place and will be enhanced with more cosmetics, accessories, and wellness products.

A bubble tea bar in the grocery store

In the second part of Ppoppo Mart, there is a corner dedicated to bubble tea "Xing Fu Tang" (a pioneering brand in Asia). Halfway between a drink and a dessert, this sweet drink typical of the Asian continent made with homemade tapioca pearls is prepared in the laboratory at the back.And from the grocery store. On the menu? The classic "brown sugar milk" or several fancy flavors like "crème brûlée" or fruity with "mango passion strawberries", a favorite of the summer. With a rich and varied range, references that shine internationally at attractive prices and a new positioning in Bordeaux, Ppoppo market brings happiness with imported products.
