1. Agata & Valentina, New York

Agata & Valentina were a famous Sicilian mother and daughter, but it’s also the name of a New York shop where you’ll find all kinds of high-quality gourmet products, and not just Italian ones. The first store opened in 1993 on the Upper East Side, and the second in 2012 in Greenwich Village. It’s also possible to buy prepared dishes on-site — ideal for anyone who doesn’t want to go to a restaurant or cook.

2. Peck, Milan

The temple of Italian gastronomy, Peck is a real institution in Milan. This delicatessen, one of Italy’s most famous, was founded in 1883 just a stone’s throw from the city’s iconic Duomo. Fine gourmets will find pleasure amidst the cold meats, cheeses and top-of-the-line wines. It is also possible to eat on site.

3. Fauchon, Paris

In its emblematic boutique at 30 Place de la Madeleine in Paris, Fauchon, a great name in French gastronomy known to all, houses a caterer, grocery store, cellar, chocolate confectioner and pastry shop offering some of the capital’s most famous macaroons. During this holiday season, it’ll be difficult not to fall in love with one of the many gift boxes or calendars prepared for the occasion.

4. Fortnum and Mason, London

Do you know where the Queen gets her own gourmet delicacies? At Fortnum and Mason’s, of course! This London boutique dedicated to the British art of living has been in existence since 1707 and its offering range from fresh produce to groceries, not to mention tea, of course, but there are also items for the home as well as clothing accessories for men and women.
