Épicerie Européenne

Québec City


This gourmet grocery stocks a delectable mix of meat, cheese, olive oil, vinegar, tea and coffee. At lunchtime, the deli case is well-stocked with delicious premade panini such as the Fiorentino (Italian-style roast pork, garlic-marinated spinach and mascarpone), the Milanese (prosciutto, mozzarella, basil and olives) and the Lyonnais (duck pâté, Dijon mustard, cornichons and onion confit).

It’s a good place to buy culinary-themed gifts or picnic supplies. Check out the drawers of spices; there are 150 of them.
