Grocery and food delivery apps have become very popular in France. Many students use them because they do not always have time to cook healthy meals at home.
Whether you want to enjoy a good meal, shop in a more eco-friendly way, or try something different, keep reading to find out about the best apps and platforms in France.
Frichti
Frichti is a French company, proudly founded in Paris in 2015. What makes Frichti different is its focus on freshly prepared meals made with fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients.
Frichti aims to make good food accessible, support fair pay for producers, and create healthy, balanced meals. They also fight food waste by donating unsold items and using eco-friendly packaging, while keeping prices affordable and sticking to strong ethical values.
Deliveroo
Deliveroo started in London and now operates in France. Its app is easy to use and lets you choose from many restaurants and cafes.
There’s a delivery fee of about 2.50 euros per order.
Uber Eats
Uber Eats is another major food delivery app in France. You’ll find all kinds of food, including vegetarian, gluten-free, and halal options. With over 15,000 places to pick from, it’s a great choice for many.
Like Deliveroo, Uber Eats charges a delivery fee, usually about 3 euros per order.
Too Good To Go
Too Good To Go is a popular app in France that helps reduce food waste. It connects you with local restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets, and cafes that have extra food at the end of the day. You can buy “magic bags” filled with a surprise mix of unsold food at a big discount. This helps businesses waste less and lets you enjoy good food for less, while also helping the environment.
With the app, you can look through local businesses offering “magic bags.” The best deals usually show up later in the day or right before closing, so check often for new offers. When you find one you want, you can reserve and pay for it in the app. Keep in mind, you will need to pick it up yourself at a set time.
La Fourche
La Fourche is a French online grocery store that focuses on sustainability, organic products, and ethical sourcing. You’ll find organic groceries, eco-friendly household items, personal care products, and more.
La Fourche works with a membership system, but the good news is that students can get a free membership for the first year! This means you can enjoy all the benefits and get quality food delivered to your door at a very affordable price.
