A food court dedicated to street food

Big names!
Here, you can travel the world of flavours, from the Asia of Quan Bai and its rice-based street recipes to the resolutely American hot dogs and burgers of Thibaut Spiwack, via the Mediterranean sunshine of the pan bagnats by Yoni Saada. If you have a sweet tooth, check out the seductively tempting gourmet creations of Jeffrey Cagnes, who for a long time was the creative force behind Maison Stohrer, the oldest pâtisserie in Paris. Whether you need a quick snack or a full meal, you will be spoiled for choice. Aesthetic, ethical, and gourmet, street food has found in the Galeries Lafayette a true place of excellence.
