Telescope

5 Rue Villedo, 75001 Paris; +33 1 42 61 33 14, www.telescopecafe.com

BUYING IN

Marché Bio des Batignolles

42 Boulevard des Batignolles, 75017 Paris (open Saturdays)
“On Saturdays there’s a huge organic market just up the road. It’s good but extremely expensive. You can buy kale, which you couldn’t buy in France a year and a half ago. Everyone’s obsessed with kale – ah, le kale!” – Alice

Dia

75 Rue Riquet, 75018 Paris; www.dia.fr
“This is a cheap Spanish supermarket chain. The vegetables are much better here than at any of the more expensive supermarkets.” – Alice
