"The selection of La Maison De L'Indonésie as the best Fine Grocery Store in France is a commitment, dedication, and result of 2 years of hard work to promote Indonesia concretely and consistently through the creative economy," said the owner and founder of La Maison De L'Indonésie, Eka Moncarre.

"This is a pride for Indonesia and the first step to bring Indonesian products to a higher level. And this award will further motivate us to always try our best to represent Indonesia in France," said Eka.
Eka also said that La Maison de l'Indonesia has a unique concept because it is a café/restaurant/fine grocery shop/workshop/gallery and exhibition. The aim is to introduce the best products from Indonesia to France while promoting Indonesian cultural and gastronomic tourism.
