They moved to 18-20 rue Coquillière in 1890 with its famous green facade.
This historic shop is a must visit in Paris whether you buy a copper pot or just browse.
Get one of their biz cards & receive a 10% discount at Au Pied de Cochon just down the street.
Considering Paris is Restaurant Central with so many of the best chefs in the world, their restaurant supply shops have to be exemplary.
All the cook shops are located conveniently on rue Montmartre in the 1st arrondissement near rue Montorgueil (*not in Montmartre!) and near the former site of Les Halles, chief food supplier to chefs (before it moved to Rungis).
On Tuesday I went wandering in the area. Next stop was MORA 1814 at 13, rue Montmartre. Mora is where pastry author Jill Colonna gets her gear. She gave me a grand tourages ago.
Chefs & kitchen staff carry around their own tools of the trade (knives, whips etc.) to work, so they need big carryall bags. I couldn’t resist Mora’s mid-size black bag (13” x 17” - 1,10€!) So chic non?
Very professional. I found nice small white dishes perfect for mixing watercolor paint.You’ll see chefs testing knives. Good place to meet a cute chef 👨🍳 non?
Further down at #92, don’t miss the best cookbook shop in Paris. Gourmande is where top chefs present their latest cookbooks. Benoit Castel had a book soirée last Saturday with tastings. Anyone can show up.
Get Librairie Gourmande’s newsletter to keep up. A great place for gifts, fun browsing & inspiration.
Carol, your post always brings a smile to my face. Growing up we had a red checked tablecloth for our patio table of the same fabric as the jaunty duck, with the red checkered torchon/dish towel in E.Dehillerin’s kitchen supply window. Thank you for taking us on your adventures. I love them and your beautiful watercolors!
This post brought back a lot of memories of my many visits to E. Dehillerin in search of something to use in my kitchen. I bought a great salt and pepper grinder one year which I still use! My sister and I would often dine at Pied de Cochon. Great French onion soup.
Ah…Ping, the lost suckling by Marjorie Flack, definitely a favorite book childhood of mine. Ping was of course always late and getting lost = an ADHD duckie 🦆
You’re so amazing! Everywhere you go, I follow to try and see Paris through your curious eyes! Your wit just tips the scales! Thanks for your jaunts around the city! I can’t wait until next month to visit just a few of your spots! 😎
Of course I loved E.Dehillerin:) No surprise..One of the things I bought ..small and el cheapette..was the yellow iconic dough cutter.WHERE IS IT? :(:(:(:(Still bothers me lol.
Your letter is fabulous! That is such a great area for ‘cuisine’ shopping. You can always find a gentleman who speaks English at Dehillerin. Great for silpats and every size of whisk imaginable. I purchased copper canele molds at A Simon…or was it at Mora?? Coveting your Mora tote! Pied de Cochon for resting your shopping weary pieds with a bowl of the best onion soups in Paris. ❤️
What a good idea -- the little white dishes for mixing paint. Do show them to us sometime! Next time in Paris I must go to Dehellrin -- how that never happened before I don't know.
Spent 3 months in Paris and missed all of this! Perfect post! I now know exactly what to do on my 2 day layover! Can’t wait for your darling map! Cindy
🥰 l’m so happy to hear that Cindy Finally something really useful!! I think unless yr in the business most travelers aren’t aware of this enclave of kitchen supplies.
I went to culinary school week in Paris several years ago and at the end of class the teacher gave us a list of places for 'gear' which was so interesting to browse about looking at E300+ copper pans and pots so heavy one would need another suitcase or two! I just purchased some cookies and kitchen towels to bring back. This is a super post that brings back a lot of memories! I pinched myself to see if it was a dream when I was there..first time of the Metro, trying to read signs, getting lost in a maze of streets, and wanting to stay in France. That wasn't practical, of course but a nice thought.
Carol, I loved this post. I visited E. Dehillerin for the first time in the spring as part of my homage to Julia Child but I didn't know about rue Montmartre. A street I hope to visit next time...
