General Fermentation

Fermentation Generale is one of my favorite spots for buying bread, I'm also a big fan of their kimchi (I ate the entire pot the same day, couldn't stop eating!). I just want to point out that it makes me very sad to read other people's comments. Sometimes we tend to forget the effort behind a small and specialized business like this one, who are not willing to compromise their quality and process for extending their opening hours and variety of products.  And as a customer I really value that. They are also very kind and friendly.

I was super impressed by the variety of breads and other ferments available here, especially in such a small shop. My favourites were the sourdough scones, kombucha, amazake sobacha, and trompette loaf. Very friendly and helpful staff. Keep an eye out on the hours/days of operation - and check out the puzzle place next door!

Incredible local shop of fermented foods and drinks. I had a delicious sourdough bread, spicy fermented veggies, and a sour red grape ale. FYI cash only.

Their bread is phenomenal. So flavorful, So soft, so fresh even when it was purchased at closing time. It was soft and so good even the next day. They just gained a regular client! The fermented rice / amazake drink by epiq foods is really good! This hidden beauty secret drink is available at this place and is sold in limited quantities in the city. Highly recommended. Not mass produced and made with incredible amounts of love! I’m a fan! Their pumpkin kimchi is deeelicious!

A small little shop packing the most surprisingly good bread/cake. Unexpectedly good in flavor and texture. I would definitely come back here multiple times. The man behind the counter is cute too!

Very kind man working, ate my weight in their bread walking home because I couldn't resist! The loaf slice was spicy with bits of herb and peppers, so much flavour and depth, and a lovely quality to it. Made me feel like I was a woodland creature in a Beatrix Potter book ❤️

Wonderful healthy bread and kimchi and other fermented products. fantastic focaccia too. Amazing find in Paris. Feels like I'm in Berkeley!

Late in the evening, we were short on white wine. Popped in, asked if we could buy wine and the guy was instantly forthcoming. Asked for clues about what we wanted, and was RIGHT ON THE SPOT with a natural wine from Savoie : « Versatile ». Kudos for the guessing, excellent choice, you saved the day.
