There are some places in Paris that continue to radiate neighborhood life. One such spot is the Poireaux de Marguerite, a grocery-restaurant in the 11th that fills our shopping bag with great local products, serves up delicious homemade dishes, and offers a coworking space where you can work quietly with a warm drink. A community hub run by Stéphane, who delights locals day after day with healthy, tasty, and above all, fairly priced products!
The neighborhood address you'll never want to miss
At Poireaux de Marguerite, neighborhood life is in full swing. And it's no wonder—Stéphane works hard to welcome Parisians in the best possible way. First, there’s his shop, which features a variety of local products, especially fruits and vegetables where at least 80% are produced in Île-de-France, except of course for bananas and other exotic fruits. Then, there's a restaurant section, where you can indulge in homemade cuisine, crafted from those ingredients!

Just €5 in the morning and €7 in the afternoon, and a warm drink is included, of course.
Anti-waste baskets for €5
Continuing with his philosophy of good and affordable, Stéphane also puts together all kinds of vegetable baskets, including the little "ugly but tasty" baskets for only €5. The idea? To gather in one basket vegetables that may not be visually appealing – the ones people tend to overlook – but are still packed with flavor and nutrients. It’s a smart anti-waste plan for everyone on a budget who still wants to treat themselves to seasonal and local produce.
