Le Petit Vendôme - Review - Opéra - Paris - The Infatuation

"Local workers have been lining up at the counter of this little bistro for decades to get their hands on the prototypical Parisian sandwich—and its popularity works to your advantage. The sure-handed experts atLe Petit Vendômeswipe each fluffy baguette with butter and layer on cheese and charcuterie faster than a Monaco casino dealer, so the line never lasts long. The simple jambon-beurre is a classic, and a steal at just €6, especially for the quality. But for €2.50 more, you should feast on the Spécial stuffed with dry-cured ham and creamy, almost sweet fresh chèvre. A drizzle of Provençal olive oil caps it off perfectly. While you can munch at the bar, we take ours to go and enjoy it in the Tuileries Gardens to recharge before exploring the nearby Louvre." - Emily Monaco
