Megeve City Guide

Farm grocery store

A Mégevanne institution opened more than 70 years ago, the Roc family grocery store has, since last winter, become the Épicerie des Fermes. What can you find there? A delicious selection of local, artisanal and international products that can only be found here and not elsewhere, carefully chosen by Marie and Nicolas Sibuet. In short, nothing but the very best.

By Food and Wonders

Make no mistake, this little grocery store, at the crossroads of 5 streets, is full of sweet and savoury wonders for any self-respecting gourmet. There are some 1,000 hand-picked items, carefully sourced in Italy from local producers and artisans, but also from the travels and favourites of Marie and Nicolas Sibuet, a very fine wine and alcohol list with more than 400 items, and a host of lovingly concocted delicacies. "We work a lot on the selection of our products, which we are constantly refining, and the niche products which can also be English or American, the whole being to be always qualitative and consistent. This grocery store is also part of the continuity of our hotel and restaurant business because we are keen to give meaning to what we do, by going further in each of our houses, in complementary circuits. »

Mise en bouche

And as the Sibuet like things well done, the products are obviously in season, even if it is tempting, Nicolas confesses, to want them all year round... like ham with truffles. À la carte then? You'll be spoilt for choice with divine cold meats and cheeses, from the Aosta Valley or from local producers and master cheese-makers and ripeners such as in Flumet, Combloux, Demi-Quartier or Tuna, farmhouse yoghurts, fruit and vegetables from local, sustainable or organic production, of course, honey from Les Fermes de Paris or the Maison du Miel in Paris, a nocciolata made by an Italian family from Piedmont with hand-picked hazelnuts, Delicate olive oils made in Tourtour or by Alexis Munoz, truffles from the Luberon, caviars from the Kaviari house as well as home-made smoked foie gras and salmon... Because l'Épicerie des Fermes also offers, in this ultra gourmet shop, a very (very) enviable delicatessen menu, with daily and all year round dishes to take away or to be delivered, all home-made, made in its kitchens in Megève. In the line of sight? Pâtés en croûte and terrines, truffle shells, blanquette de veau or bourguignonne, the perfect kit of Savoyard fondue, but also soups, ice creams, cakes, coulis, jams... In short, so many delicious discoveries in the authentic local way or more gastronomic. As for wine and spirits lovers, they are not to be outdone, Nicolas hunting lots of rare wines, in addition to his own wines from the Sibuet Hotels and Houses, made in the heart of the Luberon, in Ménerbes, at the Domaine de Marie. The true taste of good things.
