Marché Barbès

I go to this market in a primarily North African neighborhood for crazy deals like three bunches of herbs for €1. You have to brace yourself for the hustle and bustle—it has crazy crowded aisles—but it’s really fun. The produce is a mix of Western and non-Western. Open Wednesday and Saturday mornings until 1 pm. On your left-hand side as you walk away from the Barbès metro station, there’s a stall that sells olives, spices, and excellent house-made harissa. You even have a choice between Moroccan and Tunisian style. I like both, so I ask whoever’s serving me where he’s from and choose that one.
