The Éclusiers market is back for the summer!
Posted yesterday at 11am
This magnificent outdoor area, which can be visited from morning to night, will allow you to feel somewhere else without leaving the city. Owned by Devin DeSousa and Echo Vergil (Fabergé) for seven years, the place offers a variety of options for gourmets: a coffee corner run by MELK, a large terrace with 250 seats where you can eat and have an aperitif, and at the weekend, a farmer’s market in the adjacent open-air area, with around ten kiosks selling vegetable or processed products and other local delicacies. All this is part of the mission that the place has given itself, explains Mr. DeSousa, which consists in highlighting the richness of the terroir and the work of the local producers.

There is a farmer’s market every weekend.
1/9
The menu, prepared in the large outdoor kitchen, is designed to be shared this year with, among other things, Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Chief Kevin Do leads the brigade. “We do business with a dozen local and organic producers and artisans. Every week we have new arrivals. We try not to adulterate the products, but to improve the taste. It’s a simple menu but made with love! » Plates of fresh East Coast oysters and their mignonette, spreads (hummus, tapenade, eggplant, kopanisti), made-to-order flatbreads, seasonal salads… It’s really tasty and very well prepared. A glass of wine or a cocktail made from alcohol and local ingredients under the sun really makes you feel like you’re on holiday!
