At nearly 50 years old, the German-Austrian Boucherie Atlantique has accumulated a wide and wise selection of European riches. The delicatessen is packed with a variety of quality meats and fish (such as smoked pork chops, sausages and herring), cheeses (like the suave but stinky Limburger), essential produce and imports. You can pick up a quick lunch of cold cuts, roast pork or salads at the counter (and leaf through a copy of the German weekly Der Spiegel). Afterwards, buy a homemade strudel to go, or groceries for the week. And as Christmas looms, expect the store to jam up with cakes, cookies and other sundry sweets.
