Recommendations for the 18th

[michaelstl]

I will be staying in an apartment in the 18th near Montmartre in May and am curious of any good bakeries and markets in the area.

I've found Del Montel for a bakery and Alleosse for a cheese place, but thus far I haven't come across any markets that would be good places to find items to make for meal when not dining in restaurants. Also, are there any good bars/wine bars/bistros that would be good places for nights when one would want to have a bottle of wine and linger?

And of course rue Lepic if you are on that side of the butte.

There is a saturday market in rue Ordener - downhill from Delmontel in rue Damremont, both sides of the junction: there is another about 400m east of the junction... Good fish there just off rue Ordener. Also an excellent chocolatier a couple of doors down from Delmontel and a good fromagerie 100m up on the other side of the road (Virginie) . Also a Vietnamese hotspot at the eastern end of the 18th if you want to eat some pho or buy the ingredients.

Virginie is the shop that sells a number of cheeses from the Arriege, an area without much representation elsewhere in France, try them.
