Cookware and Culinary Shops in Paris
Map
1- In the "Les Halles" area
I always start shopping my cookware and utensils in the "Les Halles" district, in the heart of Paris, because it has so many shops that I usually find everything in one of the stores
Dehillerin
I usually start at Dehillerin (website eshop.e-dehillerin.fr ).
I love the atmosphere here, It feels like time has stopped, with those old walls and shelves, I am expecting to meet Julia Child or Chef Escoffier !
The staff is really the best. They are really relax, speak English, glad to help you and above all, these professionals know their stuff ! I received good advice and had a great time speaking with them about pastry and cooking. For foreigners, they are flexible for the tax discounts
A MUST SEE !!!

Simon
My second choice is Simon. Their staff is very welcoming too, and their prices are very competitive
There are two separate Morin stores, side by side on the street. I really recommend Morin as the range of products is really large !
A. Simon
48 Rue Montmartre
75002 Paris
La Bovida
Another store close by is La Bovida. The staff is not as friendly as the stores I mentioned above, but they have interesting products as well, so it's my 3rd choice for visit
La Bovida
36 Rue Montmartre
75001 Paris
G. Detou
G. Detou is interesting for the ingredients, you will find pretty much anything you cannot find elsewhere. Whenever you stumble on a recipe "where the hell am I gonna find this ingredient ?", don't think twice, and go to G. Detou : they probably have that ingredient ! Also, their staff is very nice and friendly
G. Detou
58 Rue Tiquetonne
75001 Paris
Mora
Well... I initially thought I wouldn't mention them, because their staff pissed me off too many times, they can be... very French and rude, although not always, really depends on the moon and the clerk servicing you.
Nevertheless, they have some modern cookware and molds that make it another must-go
Mora
13 Rue Montmartre
75001 Paris
La Librairie Gourmande
This bookstore is a must-go for gourmet and cooks... A two levels bookstore specialized in culinary books
Was initially planning to briefly visit the store and ended up staying two hours. So many interesting books....
Librairie Gourmande
92-96 Rue Montmartre
75002 Paris
2- Neighborhood l'Hotel de Ville / Marais
Le BHV (Bazar de l'Hotel de Ville)
The BHV (Bazar de l'Hotel de Ville) has a lot of culinary cookware and utensils that, although not as good as professional products, are interesting for foodies
BHV
64 Rue de Rivoli

3- Eastside
Cuisineshop
There's an online e-commerce website specialized in pastry ustensils and molds : www.cuisineshop.fr. They also recently opened a store where you can browse their items. I heard people say that their products are cheaper, which I didn't find. However they have good stuff for pastry.

When I have a chance to go to Paris, definitely these places are on my top lists.
I'm looking for a Puff Pastry/Croissant Roller for home use, maybe less than 0.
If you know any product out there, please advise.
Thanks,
DeeDee
Do you mean a pastry dough sheeter ?
Those devices are expensive, anything less than $ 3000 is not working....
Ouch! Can not afford it
Hi, I'm looking for a mandoline, you think every atore has a good mandoline? Thanks!!
Yes definitely, it's a common tool that every store sells
