Alexandros Rallis has a real knack for feta! In this tavern of culinary delights located high up in the Belleville neighborhood, the sunny grocer serves up the best Hellenic treats in all of Paris and organizes memorable apéro-concerts whenever the mood strikes. On the shelves of his bottle-green shop with painted letters on the façade – a veritable Kalamata consulate in Belleville –, you can snatch up all of the following: some stupefying Trikalinos bottarga; the famous big black olives from Peloponnese; a few hard-to-find Greek cheeses – feta, along with saganáki, sfela and mizithra; the legendary wild oregano from Mount Taygetus; heather and carob tree honey; the house’s grand cru olive oil; prodigious Aegina pistachios… and natural wines from the archipelago that are still relatively unknown in France. // Sofia Ortolan
