Marché de la Villete

Frommer's Review

Charming in its simplicity, and if you close your eyes you might convince yourself you're tucked into a shop in a quiet French village. While it started life as an atmospheric boucherie and charcuterie specializing in cheeses, meats, and breaks, the couple of tables in front multiplied quickly due to demand. Serving breakfast, snacks, and table d'hôte lunches costing as little as C$9.95 (US$8.65), Marché de la Villete packs in neighbors and office workers much of the day, especially between noon and 2pm. The changing tables d'hôte are sturdily satisfying, but the several available platters of merguez and Toulouse sausages, various cheeses, and smoked meats are as beguiling. Quiches, foie gras, sandwiches, and savory and sweet crepes are other possibilities. Wine is available.
