Marché de la Condamine

The covered Marché de la Condamine at La Places des Armes is the perfect place for a quick, casual lunch. It seems to always be teeming with locals wolfing down plates of fresh pasta and petits farcis (stuffed vegetables). These days, many of the stalls stay open for a convivial dinner experience with quality ingredients. Favorite spots include Truffle Gourmet (377-09-77-77-19-19) for divine truffle and cheese pizzas and truffle pastas; Le Comptoir (377-97-98-09-90) for regional snacks to go with your aperitifs; and La Maison des Pates (377-93-50-95-77), which sells and serves everything from sea bass ravioli to moon-shaped asparagus-filled pasta.
