Travis Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Have a friend who recently moved to town who is a classically trained French Chef and former restaurant owner. We were lucky enough to be invited to dinner at his and his wife's house last night and, boy, it was spectacular. He's looking to outfit his kitchen....has already been to the likes of Liverpool and Palacio de Hierro and Andares, etc. He's looking for some specific things. I figure there has to be high-end commercial quality kitchen stores, and also restaurant supply places in Guadalajara. I know this has been discussed before, but I can't find the threads. Can anyone give me the names and location of specialty kitchen stores? And also, is there one particular area of Gualalajara with Restaurant Supply stores? Today I bought some saffron for him, and I'm trying to guild the lily with some more info so that we're sure to be invited back! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rony Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Avenida La Paz (between la Calzada de Independencia and Federalismo) has it all (the professional stuff) and for the small luxurious (kind of fancy) items : Fabricas de Francia on Juarez (I believe that these days they have a very interesting discount). I love that store but am too poor to buy there. Rony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Outstanding. Thank you, Rony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelperGuy Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 My favorite place, although prices reflect professional quality even on stuff that isn't: Belle Cuisine, Niños Heroes 2648, Jardines del Bosque, 44520 Guadalajara.

maw7815 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I will second Avineda La Paz- that street has many, many stores- small & large with everything to outfit a restaurant or a home kitchen including appliances. The prices are much better than Belle Cuisine plus you can bargain and get discounts. I took a friend there and she got a nice set of dinnerware that reminds me of all the unusual dinnerware they use on "Chopped". maw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomgates Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Belle Cuisine is mostly a baking shop. Let me know if you want to explore the La Paz area and I will go or drive, Travis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelperGuy Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 While Belle Cuisine certainly has lots of baking stuff, it is not "mostly" a baking shop. They have tons of kitchen stuff. Pricey, though, so I will check out La Paz, although having driven that street a million times I can't picture where any of the stores like that are. How far from the glorieta that starts the street? Before you get to Suehiro? I do recall lots of tile and bathroom shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solajijic Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Surprisingly the Pier One section of Sears has upped its game and dishes, flatware and crystal is much nicer. Love ❤️ the restaurant street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
