Can anyone recommend a guidebook with good food / market listings? Many thanks.

Sat May 10 15:06:07 -0700 2008 3598510 183187 johnecampbell 1 3598879 there's a Michelin for food shops, it is highly reliable. It's not your usual red guide, I can't remember how it's called exactly, but it's the ultimate food shopping guide, methinks. The thread rrems mentioned is mostly for restaurants (there again Michelin is globally reliable but not very explicit).

Michelin is probably superior for high-end restaurants; both are subdivided by arr.. The Pudlo will set you back $20.00. I use them both. Wed Apr 16 08:34:24 -0700 2008 3598879 19129 Oakglen 3 3599786 I second the Pudlo. If you read French, add the two Lebey also (one for the restos, one for the bistrots). As for the Paris food/non-food market, the link has been posted many times here. You should find it with the search button or by scrolling down a couple of days. Wed Apr 16 09:05:44 -0700 2008 3599684 13522 Dodo 4 3611519 I got some very good recommendations from Chowhounds here: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/479491 Go for the Pudlo Paris guide if you can but to be honest, you can do a lot worse than the TimeOut guide. Rick Steves' website (and book) has some good shopping / market reccomendations, including a great Rue Cler walk. http://www.ricksteves.com/plan/destinations/france/france_menu.htm I found good up-to-date info on foodie blogs, like Chez Pim, The Girl Who Ate Everything, and Chocolate & Zucchini - well worth a google! Sun Apr 20 03:15:05 -0700 2008 3599786 151962 DollyDagger 5 3651581 Clotilde Dusoulier's new book just came out. It's Edible Adventures in Paris. It's fun to read but imperfect. Here's a link: http://www.shiksainisrael.com/2008/04/edible-adventur.html Fri May 02 15:50:54 -0700 2008 3611519 34796 sarapeater 1 3652134 Patricia Wells' web site usually has up-to-date recs. I've never gone wrong with her suggestions.

On the other hand, I haven't seen the following one recommended yet, and I think it is quite a nice little guide: Markets of Paris (Paperback) by Dixon Long (Author), Ruthanne Long (Author), Alison Harris (Photographer) http://www.amazon.com/Markets-Paris-Dixon-Long/dp/1892145456/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1209835216&sr=8-1 Sat May 03 10:25:27 -0700 2008 3598335 153308 souvenir
