Traiteurs
Almost every neighbourhood has small
traiteurs
offering
plats à emporter
(prepared dishes for takeaway).
Charcuteries
,
particularly known for their variety of smoked and salted
pork products, also have prepared dishes, and the two
categories overlap slightly (see Meat Markets on pages
221-223). As one would expect in Paris, the selection is
mouthwatering, from stewed rabbit and guinea fowl
fricassée
,
to roasted chicken and veal or beef loin, with potatoes, rice,
vegetables, salads on the side, and desserts rounding off
the meal. Dishes change according to the season. Monoprix
has a serviceable takeaway department and the
traiteurs
at the food halls are excellent. The Asian
traiteurs
are the
least expensive, but are uniform in their offerings.
Some elegant
traiteurs
, such as those below, are known for
their artistic and flavourful creations, with prices to match.
They have addresses throughout the Paris region, so it's best
to check the Internet or the phone book for the ones nearest
you. See

Yellow Pages
