The tiled floors scream Parisian kitchen but the bountiful refrigerated cabinets are a worldly mix of trout gravlax, miso-roasted brussels sprouts, slow-cooked lamb shoulder, house-smoked pastrami and more.

Truly a one-stop shop, Ruben’s helps shoppers rustle up easy midweek dinners, spreads for parties when a few corners must be cut, and the week’s essentials (including butter and milk). While you’re there, pick up a hulking sanger such as a tuna melt, chicken schnitzel amped up with pickled jalapeno or the obvious choice, a reuben on marbled rye bread.
