lunch in a grocery store, anyone?

Dear foodies,

A young girl in a grocery store where you do your shopping? The idea may seem absurd, yet it has more and more success. I will not try here to convince the ripailleurs who like the authentic atmosphere of bistros, the restaurant lovers who appreciate an elaborate cuisine presented on tablecloths: the “food-in-storeis not their department. But, to have gone, last Saturday, to the Galeries Lafayette Gourmet, who launched this hybrid formula, in 1991, boulevard Haussmann, in Paris, it is clear that the experience seduces, and not only tourists. From Petrossian salmon to 40-day-aged T-bone beef from Le Bourdonnec, from Levoni lasagna to Cinco Jotas pluma… . We even waited standing, in the ambient hubbub, to have lunch at the counter or on a few tables taken by storm. Is it worth it?…
