In a charming historic apothecary, Goumanyat has been a culinary treasure trove for over 200 years, famed for its rare ingredients and exquisite saffron.
"For more than 200 years, Goumanyat has been a go-to spot for Parisian chefs looking for hard-to-find ingredients and spices. They specialize in saffron, which is stored in huge glass jars behind the counter, and grown on their farm in Iran. They’re located in a fittingly historic space that was formerly an apothecary, but they keep very irregular hours, so it’s best to call ahead before you drop by."
