E. DEHILLERIN

For someone into cooking this is like a Disneyland. Just an outstanding selection of kitchen supply. I’ve seen some stuff I’ve never seen before. Note that to a large extent this shop is intended for more professional chefs, as indicated both by the quality and ways those supplies are to be used as well as the size of some items. Simply amazing and a must see visit if you enjoy cooking

Iconic restaurant supply frequented by Julia Child. The selection, variety, and quality available here is incredible. Could spend a lifetime and not be able to use it all. And it has a certain smell that is oddly desirable.

I love this store. Really good items and the staff really attentive. Be ready for “written payment order “ in old style, but I think it added charm to the shopping experience like old style.

this place has been the Mecca for chefs since 1890 and prior to that a coppersmiths shop since 1820. An impressive assortment of kitchen must-haves, like Christmas for cooks, and very reasonably priced with superb staff and like stepping back in time a bit.

If you are a foodie / love cooking, this is a MUST SEE shop in Paris. It’s culinary ground zero for cooking utensils. Have bought multiple things from here in my trips to Paris. Favourite is a copper frying pan that heats perfectly evenly across the base.

Love everything about this place. The staff was super friendly. I found everything that I wanted. Went to buy a chef's knife and the handle wasn't perfect so they took it upon themselves to replace it. Everything I ever wanted was in this store.

I did my research before coming from Canada and was very excited as a home cook to purchase my first quality soup pot from here. The individuals working were so extremely friendly, knowledgeable & took the time to ensure I knew how to take care of the item I was purchasing. The young man who helped us took the time to understand what I cook & helped me find a pot that suited my needs best. Many thanks to the store & their lovely workers.

It's a bit inconvenient to check the prices. Historic place, though.

Fabulous place for all your cooking pots, pans, pastries and anything else you want for in the kitchen!! Fun shopping experience!

This place is supposed to be the Paris kitchen store where Julia Childs like to go. I can believe it, its very old and looks a like like Uncle Bob's hardware store in Nebraska, old creaky wooden floors, narrow walking space between shelves piled high with everything you need to be an authentic French Chief. No kidding this place is like 200 years old. Terrific place to buy knives and hard to find baking stuff. No price tags, you have a stock # on everything and then need to look it up on a pice sheet on the end of the aisle. Still if you're a foodie this is a great lace to spend some time if you're in the neighborhood.

A surfeit of cookware. Helpful employees. So much--for the cook--to buy. We browsed and did not buy because: 1. We can't take it home due to airline restrictions. 2. We have too much at home.

I've been wanting to shop inside this place ever since I'd seen a picture of it in my French book when I was learning French. It was even more beautiful that I'd imagined it would be. I love French cookware it may be pricey but I see it as an investment. I was too busy buying things to take pics of it, but it was every woman who loves to cook dream to be able to walk in here and shop!

Always my first stop for Paris kitchenware shops. So fun! This time I bought small stainless mis-en-place prep bowls and long tweezers for placement of decorative elements (typically) on plates.....because I really don't need anything else in my kitchen but I love to have these kinds of souvenirs to use at home to remind me of my travels. They have an amazing variety of different sizes of things---my friend is really into tart pans, and they had sizes from an inch to 24 inches and maybe larger, and all shapes. A real specialty shop. It's a great place to poke around and the staff is very friendly and not at all pretentious. I bought an E. Dehillerin apron for a friend at home. It's a good starting point because the entire neighborhood has a concentration of kitchen and housewares stores--don't miss Mora, G. Detou, A. Simon, La Bovida....and there are more, just walk around that part of Les Halles.

Wonderful old time store with varied selection of superb cooking supplies. Staff are kind and we're wonderful to work with. Very low key.

I've been wanting to visit this shop for a few years and finally got the chance. It's a fun place to poke around. I did buy an excellent heavy copper pan and lid and having it shipped back to the states. It was pricey - but - was a present to myself - a copper pan from this old Paris shop. A thing of beauty and it will make me Smile every time I use it.

If you're a foodie, chef, baker, a fan of Julia Child who is responsible for formally introducing French Cuisine to the U.S., etc. then you will fall in love with E.Dehillerin. My husband is a cook by trade and although the shop was a little out of the way from where we were staying, we made a special trip here because I thought my husband would really enjoy it and that he did. The copper cookware, cutlery, utensils, kitchen gadgets, anything and everything in the store was really fun to look through. He wanted to buy everything (thank God for luggage weight limits!) and I had to remind him to exercise self control as he picked up a few souvenirs for his other cooking buddies back home. He could've probably spent hours in here nerding out over all the pots and pans and specialty items that covered the store from floor to ceiling. It's definitely a culinary paradise and we had fun browsing through all their items. If you're remotely into cooking or food, I definitely recommend making a stop here while in Paris.

A Pilgrimage to All Things for the Cook E. Dehillerin has been around since 1820, and like so many shops in Paris, they do one thing and do it exceptionally well. A favorite of innumerable cooks, from Julia Child to Anthony Bourdain, Dehillerin is the place for copper cookware, along with sooooo much more. Remember Bourdain's Press de Canard? They had a few models should you wish to get medieval. Service staff are bilingual and oh so helpful. I was looking for a saucier, but only saw the tin-lined type as I wandered through the basement vault of cookware -- problematic in the US. The gentleman working the floor knew what I wanted and showed me the two sizes lined in stainless steel. I also picked up a real French mandolin. I had broken two of the not so cheap ones from William Sonoma due to plastic parts. This one is all stainless steel, with all the built in blades to do every cut imaginable. Tip: Remember to ask for your VAT certificate to get your tax back for your purchases. They will happily fill out the forms for you. They will just need your passport or driver's license. Useful souvenirs that will last a lifetime.

Guy was great. Exceeded expectations and what's great is you can buy while on vacation and have shipped home. Fast shipping and Guy was a great help navigating their enormous catalog. So excited to get my delivery and start cooking like Julia!

Tight store.... look for the catalogs on the wall for prices. Staff was super helpful and efficient. I bought two E.Dehillerin chef's knives, 10" and 4" for under $100. They are gorgeous, and when brought to one of the finer sharpeners back home, they commented on what great knives they are. A few meals in, and they are all quality and can stand up to a lot of abuse. Great store, and a must visit if you like to cook.

Brings back old memories when I came inside this store with thousands of cooking and baking items up on display. No price tag so I just picked up a random of items and waited in line for the guy to write a list and check the prices. He will then call the attention of the cashier to ring up in the register what he just said. Wrapped the baskets with a thick brown colored paper then gave me a nice bag for spending more than $200 on two bread proofing baskets. Also bought pipping tips, bread blade and pastry brush. I met a lot of tourists from the U.S. buying knives as souvenir. I just realized that silpat is a French brand, so it lost my mind to buy their silicon mats and cake molders. Highly recommend this store for commercial sized pots and tools.

What a great store for everything in your kitchen. I need to get back and buy a few more trinkets for my kitchen.

This is where all of my Dehillerin brand carbon steel paring knives and steak knives came from. They can hold a sharp edge unlike any other knife ive ever seen, and I like how the carbon steel blackens with use. This store is the top for serious cooking supplies.

An amazing store if you enjoy cooking, but nothing is priced - you have to remember the item number and then look it up in a book. In addition, the prices are NOT at all inexpensive. Their products are lovely, but don't expect to get ANY deals here. Their stock is so extensive that I have no doubt they carry hard to find and unique items

Has Martha Stewart been here? She must have right? Or William Sonoma's product curators? They must have right? This place has everything you would find at the restaurant supply stores down on Bowery and then some. Some copper tins indeed. Also massive pots that the witch from Hansel and Gretel used - gigantic! Prices are not listed on the small items like the scooops, Tins, knives, pans Copper here is 1/3 of the american cost All other utensils are probably 1.5x of the cost you'll find down at the bowery in ny

Long overdue review, but a recent online order prompted me to write this. There was a time we were looking to outfit our kitchen with some seriously good pots and pans. He is a huge fan of Julia Child so naturally we had to make a visit to this fantastic shop. Be prepared, it is overwhelming for the kitchen timid, so if you dont fancy culinary tools, stroll across the way for a coffee and Le Monde while your loved one shops. We were like kids in the candy store...we planned our visit, knew exactly what we needed, connected with an attendant who helped us make our purchases. We opted to have everything shipped...which wasn't exactly inexpensive, but worth it to not have to carry (or pay for) very heavy boxes. Keep in mind that the handles on copper pots are brass and very heavy, plan for this. We purchased an assortment of gadgets and tools to give as gifts to friends...this shop has everything and I mean everything. Including tools you didn't even know you needed (I still have my escargot pan!) Professional, knowledgeable and packed with wonderful things of the cooking sort. You really must visit, but do your homework. While we set out to fulfill a dream purchase, you can find almost everything in the USA and prices do vary. The pro and the home cook will be quite pleased visiting this place....it is a treat!

E. Dehillerin was one of our last stops in Paris before leaving France. My husband and I were both impressed with the amount of kitchen tools they had on hand. Next time I'm in Paris I plan to purchase a Copper Pot from them as their prices in the book were really reasonable. (Nothing in the store is priced, instead everything has a number, there are books hanging from the walls with the listings and their prices.) If you don't have a French wholesale number then the more expensive price to the right is what you pay. The kind man will wrap your purchase, then you take the receipt while he is wrapping immediately to the next counter to pay. A copper sauce pot was $120 Euros, much better than prices other places. Next trip I will be carrying this lovely piece home. This day I purchased a new brownie spatula cutter:)

Best place in Paris for cookware. I am in France once per quarter and buy a new pan everytime I'm there. Of course, then I have to check my bag..... No coiffed suburban Williams Sonoma sales ladies. Just some guys who sell professional cookware. If you want Mitzi from white Plains doing a canape maker demo you're in the wrong place.

This place is amazing! It has been open for 200 years! They sell fabulous copper cookware and so many other kitchen gadgets. There is a gate to keep people from falling down a set of stairs, but the downstairs is not off limits. Staff is very helpful

Any pot or pan or ladle or whatever you could possibly ever need can be found here, lining the walls of this super old school cookware store. We originally went to buy a roasting pan because our air bnb apartment was not equipped for people to actually cook in it. A solid 30 minutes went by while we poked and prodded every single item available. It's so much fun, even if you're just looking. We've been back a few times to get small items that we need, but I'd suggest Dehillerin for cutlery, pots, pans, and various hand tools like whisks etc.

Located in Les Halles, this cookware store will blow your mind. There is no other culinary store like this. The basement has every piece of French cooper and some Staub that you can imagine. You look up the prices by style in a notebook. There are stacks and cramped aisles of professional speciality items on the main level such as crepe pans, whisks, Cook's tools, knives, rolling pins, baking and pastry items, and so much more. No frills just quality which makes this shop fantastique! On my last visit I found Langue de Chat plaques from Matfer which I have not been able to locate any where else in Paris. You may also qualify to get a VAT refund if you are visiting from outside the EU. Many of the associates in the shop have worked here for years. www.eshop.e-dehillerin.fr

Where else can you buy a wooden spatula the size of a ten year old, a stock pot big enough for a buffalo, every kind of mold and cutter known to man? This place is the mecca of culinary tools and as a home chef, I had to make the pilgrimage. They stock stuff that works and lasts the test of time. For instance, they don't have five different garlic presses; they carry one and that ONE is the best. They also carry pans that have welded handles not bolted ones. As a mild hypochondriac, I know that germs can get trapped in the crevices. Yuck. The prices are reasonable (compared to Sur la Table) and high quality. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. They even offered me a job after some Americans asked me what I bought and ended buying the same things! If it was good enough for Julia, it sure as heck good enough for you.

Daay...ohm. This place is for the chef, behind the chef, behind the chef. Totally old-school with racks and shelves of the most professional cooking and cheffing gear known to man. It's not like they have 1000 different things. But when they have something, they have it in every size imaginable and its industrial quality. Like20 different sizes of spring-form pans, about 10 different sizes of crepe pans, pure copper cookware and the list goes on. The knives are not in fancy display cases and in sets, but sitting in bread pans with a dozen or more of the same knife in a single container - pick the ones you want and bring them to the register. The duck press will set you back a bunch of Euros. This place is spectacular.

if you love food then a trip to Dehillerin is a must. This place played a part in inspiring Chuck Williams in starting Williams-Sonoma. The selection is impressive and you will have a hard time not walking away with a copper pot or some white French porcelain items. Wandering around the aisles is a great way to spend an hour while in the neighborhood. In a city where food is part of the religion, you need to take some time to walk the aisles of this foodie church.

I was lucky enough to get into the Paris study abroad program that my college offered. It was a great opportunity and I wished it was longer and I wish I had more money now so I can go back... Anywhoo, it was my professor who brought the whole class here. Walking around the store, I wished I had more money to have purchased more. I just bought a rectangular tart pan. I forgot how much it was but it was well worth it. Now, I know I bought this in 2007 but today was my first time unwrapping the pan...(I know, GASP!!!) But I am glad that I kept it for this long because if I had unwrapped it back in 07, I wouldn't have notice or remembered (the name of the business) or where I had got it from...Their address and name of business is on the packaging and now I know where they're located if I ever go back to Paris...Anyone want to buy my plane ticket and book my hotel....I'll be happy to go back for one week...please!!!...LOL

This place is an absolute gem - you won't find anything like it in the States. I shop here very time I visit Paris. They have a wonderful selection of pots and pans, baking supplies, hand tools... pretty much everything you would ever need. I go for the wooden spoons - so simple, but really durable and the perfect shape for mixing and deglazing. The staff is also helpful, and they clearly enjoy being there. I just love this shop, it's so special.

Just wanted to reinforce how much I love this place! I gave it 5 Stars 2 Years ago and will do it again!

Go back in time in this great Paris kitchen store, where old gentlemen still write receipts and know all the article codes out of the top of their head. If you have a thing for Mauviel copper pans: this is heaven for you

I could spend hours in here. I'd work here for free just to spend time familiarizing myself with all the stuff here. I was here for the first time over 20 years ago and this kitchen store is still the bees knees!

I spent some time in Paris learning to refine my culinary skills. One of the hardest things for me to learn was how to convert from English measurements to the metric system. However, I must have measured correctly since the pastry I created in class including a napoleon, dacquoise, Saint Honore, gateau l'Opera, et al. turned out to be yummy. The problem was having the ability to recreate these culinary masterpieces at home. The answer was at E.Dehillerin. I kept buying and sending stuff home, confident that this whisk would help me attain the perfect soft peak. Or that copper bowl would elevate my meringue to ethereal status. While my wallet is empty, I will say that some of my most successful culinary achievements were created by equipment I purchased at this store. A must visit experience for serious foodies in Paris.

Come indulge yourself in a cooks store par excellence! Each and every trip to or through Paris involves coming here, if just to look around and see what's new. Great staff, really helpful and they know their stuff. The selection is amazing, especailly for pastry supplies. Great prices, too. A real treasure. Enjoy!

This place is like a magical fairy land of all things copper cook/bakeware. From the giant mixing bowls to the tiny tart molds, this place is cavernous, while being jammed into a tiny space. Every inch is covered in all the amazing tools that all French chefs need and love. They very obviously hate tourists--especially American ones--as an self-respecting Parisian shop would, but a few keys words of French will go a long way. My husband was looking for an oyster knife on our last visit, which he was able to ask for in French. The shopkeeper showed him no less than seven kinds and pointed out his favorite, which we promptly bought. We even managed to post it back to our flat in London after our visit. The French postal service employees are incredibly helpful -- who would have guessed!? I'll definitely return to buy some copper at some point. Maybe even some Mauviel, if I can justify the price. It's worth a visit, although it's a little off-the-beaten track, which makes it all the more fun. Just stay out of the way of the surly shop staff.

Coming to this store on our annual Paris vacation was my Mothers idea. I had to thank her because it was the best shopping experience I had on our trip!. If you love to cook and are a foodie likee than coming here is a must!. We were waited on by Franck. He was so kind and helpful without being pushy. Franck was charming. I found so many wonderful tools that I couldn't wait to come home and use!. Even though the Euro is pricey I found a bunch of good values, great pans for baking, china, knives and cooking utensils!. I'm going back for sure next yr!.

what an incredible variety of goodies for a chef......and if your into very high end pots and pans they have an incredible array of beautiful full copper pots and pans. They are cheap but quality never is......in fact the pots were so heavy, sadly I couldn't pack them in my luggage to bring home. enjoy.

Wow...what an experience, floor to ceiling cooking utensils for the amateur as well as the professional. If you are in Paris, this is a must see store only a few minutes walk from Les Halles. You can buy or, just like me, gawk.

My husband got me a copper fish pan from here and I am so happy. They shipped all the way to Canada !

Come here to just look. Buying can be a challenge since it is mostly industrial size (and weight) restaurant equipment and you have to pick out the item, get it written up and priced and then pay in separate transactions. There are some nice small items thou especially if you bake or prepare small tastes. Read David Lebiovitz for his essays on moving to France and trolling the stores for his kitchen (he is world famous dessert maker but also a great writer). Les Halles Metro (western end).

Crazy shop ... You have to lookup prices in a book :) but the knifes in their own brand at very cheap and the best knifes in the word .. Very sad that we didn't buy more .. We were worried about getting then through the airport but that was not a problem as long as it was not cabin baggage

From the mainstream to the obscure, Dehillerin has your cookware needs covered. Their prices are great on Mauviel copper cookware but be sure to get the stainless steel rather than the old-timey tin interiors. Retinning is a pain and although tin is a fine surface to cook on, the stainless is just fine. They also sell an awesome copper polish for keeping your cookware gleaming. On other things, know your prices before you shop - I've been able to get lots of things I saw there in the US for less or the same price (Apilco porcelain for example). But keep an eye out for things that you'll enjoy using - I got a cookie spatula there that I LOVE because it's the perfect shape and size.

Amazing selection. Helpful and friendly staff. Recommend a visit to anyone who enjoys cooking and decent cookware.

glad to have finally visited the mecca of french chefs but was disappointed to have walked away empty handed. the store is old school...nothing william sonoma or sur la table about it. they carry lots of copper pots/pans/baking sheets/knives and on and on and on. it's a bit hard to navigate and the prices aren't listed but the staff is friendly. come here knowing what you want or you'll walk away empty handed like me!

I could spend hours and thousands of dollars in this store. They have every kitchen item/gadget you would ever need! I want to buy every copper pot in the store. The problem would be bringing them home to New York. This place is great and it seriously has no frills. Just baskets and shelves full of kitchen accessories, pots, tools, everything you would need. Pots as big as cars... well not that big, but almost.

Amazing store - a must see for any chef or foodie. Endless shelfs of cookware and kitchenware galore! If only the copper pots weren't so heavy, I would have bought several to take home with me! I unfortunately left without purchasing anything but it was fun to browse and see new and unique tools I've never seen before. The store was packed and it gets crowded, but worth the visit.

The mecca for cookware. This is the place that the lady who introduced French cooking to the US and beyond shopped. We felt we needed to pay our tribute to E.Dehillerin for the help they provided Julia Child. Such an impressive and fun experience. Make sure you stop in if you are in Paris.

A lot more expensive that it used to be, but still the best place in France for copper pans! After the tax rebate the pans are far less than you world pay in America. You just have really heavy carry on luggage!

Authentic, one-of-a-kind shopping experience for chefs and foodies alike. A must visit!

I love this store! As a chef it is a dream come true to see where the fathers of French cuisine shopped!

I honestly can't say how the prices compare with other places but I can say that I was drooling over the amount of professional quality kitchen tools they carry. This is a store I will come back to again and again.
