Evi Evane, Greek delicatessen and sunny grocery store in the Marais

Founded by sisters Dina and Maria Nikolaou in the early 2010s in the Saint-Placide district, Greek address Evi Evane quickly conquered the capital, the siblings subsequently opening other tables at the foot of the Butte Montmartre and in the Commerce district. Today, the two siblings are setting out to conquer one of Paris' food hotspots, rue de Bretagne in the Haut-Marais district.

Just a few meters from the Marché des Enfants Rouges, this Greek grocery, well-stocked with Hellenic products , doubles up as a catering outlet that's already a hit with local workers and residents. It's worth noting that lunch formulas are affordable, ranging from €9.90 to €15.90, with a choice of puff pastry, pita sandwich, salad or hot dish, accompanied by a drink and dessert or spread.

Made up to the minute, the pita is topped with fresh salad, homemade pickles and a choice of meat: grilled gyros pork with tzatziki sauce, spice-marinated chicken with honey/mustard sauce, and chickpea dumpling with feta sauce for the vegetarian option. There's no doubt that the pita is a hit, given the number of orders placed by the time ours was ready.

In the alcoves of this minimalist space, the grocery shelves are bursting with dried products direct from Greece, sourced with great care by the Nikolaou sisters: olive oil, of course, but also tahini, halva, spices, organic sauce, fig jam, sweet and savory cookies, Greek mountain honey, as well as a fine selection of Greek wines, led by malagouzia, assyrtiko and xinomavro.

Facing the niches in the wall, the glass display case showcasesEvi Evane's many fresh preparations, in shimmering, eye-catching colors. Like a gigantic buffet, we let ourselves dream of taking and tasting everything on the spot, on the small terrace set up for sunny days, or at home, to please family or friends passing by for an aperitif.

Alongside traditional mezzés, headed by tzatziki, hummus and white tarama, spanakopita and tiropita are on the menu, as are a host of dumplings in a variety of recipes - feta, mushroom, chicken or cod versions. Here and there, you'll find stuffed peppers, Kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes and marinated anchovies, or you'll be tempted by family dishes to be reheated when the time comes, such as the unmissable moussaka or soutzoukakias, veal dumplings in tomato sauce. And every portion is served generously.
