” What are we eating tonight? » 60% of French people have learned to answer this question thanks to home meal delivery. This practice, which has been on the rise since 2020, has often developed to the detriment of local restaurants. Over the past year, La Table epicery has been changing the game with an offering centered around neighborhood addresses.
Best neighborhood addresses available in two clicks
Food delivery on wheels experienced a real boom under the influence of the epidemic, and this phenomenon continues today. It must be said that the concept has something to tempt. Who hasn’t dreamed of stepping under the table at dinner? Having good food delivered to your home represents a real time saver and considerable freedom of spirit in the daily lives of many French households. Problematic, large platforms mostly offer fast food (burgers, pizzas, sushi, the famous delivery trio), too greasy and too rich dishes, often prepared in dark kitchens out of sight (“ghost kitchens”).
Faced with this observation, epicery, a grocery delivery specialist, offers a rewarding solution for neighborhood restaurants. Launched a year ago, La Table epicery already has 200 partner establishments in several French cities, from Paris to Bordeaux with Lyon and Lille. There are exclusively addresses that have a storefront. By choosing to shop local, the epicery and its users support and sustain the local economic fabric. It only takes one click to make a difference.
From a bistro to a starred restaurant, there’s something for everyone.
Today, appetites are versatile and cuisines are plural. La Table epicery celebrates gastronomy in all its richness and diversity through an eclectic selection organized around four categories of restaurants: cafés, fine dining, bistronomy and world cuisine. Although the addresses of these districts are different, they have a common denominator. they give pride of place to “homemade” and respect the seasonality of products. By ordering on the website or epicery app, you can have ham skins delivered one day and enjoy a star dish or Lebanese mezze the next, order your favorite off the menu, or be tempted by more secret cuts. Some addresses even offer sharing formats, which are handy when you’re hosting family or friends at home.
