English term or phrase: up-market food shop
Est-ce que cela peut signifier "épicerie fine" ou plutôt "grand magasin de luxe" ?
Le magasin dont on parle se nomme "Bluebird" (en Angleterre) pour les connaisseurs.

Bluebird Café


Retailers 350 King\'s Road, Chelsea, London, England SW3 5UU

Whether you want seasonal fruit and vegetables, virgin olive oil, hand-made pasta, organic meats or perhaps some fresh fish for supper, Bluebird foodstore stocks only the best.

As you walk around the foodstore you are seduced by the aromas of freshly baked bread, cheese wrapped in wax paper, bunches of locally grown herbs and traiteur dishes from Bluebird\'s kitchens. You can take time to taste the wines, ask questions and get recipe advice form our chefs.

Local deliveries are also available
