Located at 19 Rue Chanzy in Paris’ 11th arrondissement, Slavmarket is a fine grocer specializing in Eastern European imports from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Georgia, Armenia, Lithuania, and Moldova. Open Tuesday–Saturday 10 AM to 8 PM, Sunday 10 AM to 2 PM, closed Mondays, it offers everything from artisanal sausages, fresh cheeses, and pickles to the renowned Georgian mineral water Borjomi, kvas, and unique Slavic sodas.

Founded in 2015, Slavmarket’s popularity led to a second location opened in October 2019 in the 14th arrondissement at 6 Rue Poirier de Narçay.

Inside, vibrant shelves are filled with kasha, sauces, smoked meats, and Eastern pastries. The primarily Russian-speaking staff provide a warm welcome and helpful advice on product uses or home recipes. The atmosphere feels like a mini culinary tour through Eastern Europe.

The clientele is mixed: curious locals, expatriates, and those of Slavic descent come to rediscover flavors from their heritage. Erasmus students often share they come here for food not easily found elsewhere in Paris.

Among anecdotes: visitors seeking a korovai, the Ukrainian wedding bread, have been pointed to Slavmarket as a possible source. Others note the authentically Russian vibe, with wine‑store-style interactions, even without a restaurant setting.

Practical info: card (Visa/Mastercard/meal vouchers) or cash payment accepted. Accessible via metro line 9 (Charonne or Rue des Boulets) and line 8 (Faidherbe‑Chaligny). Bring extra bags—some refrigerated items require thermal protection.
