Choose your meats and cheeses for amazing baguette sandwiches
"Caractère de Cochon is ham paradise, lined wall-to-wall with charcuterie from all over France and Europe. And if your wallet can cope with the audacity of a €15 jambon-beurre, this is the place to give in. Choose from a number of pedigreed cooked or raw cured hams, like a floral bergamot number or Italian prosciutto aged in grape must. Your selection will be layered onto a baguette slathered with butter and dotted with cornichons. (You can pay a supplement to add a few measly slices of cheese.) The bread itself has a slight sourdough tinge, but overall is frankly mid. But this may well be your only chance to eat Iberico de Bellota on a Parisian baguette." - Emily Monaco
"A tiny, charcuterie‑forward shopfront known for some of the city’s best sandwiches: a transcendent jambon‑beurre with expertly sliced aged ham, a creamy slab of quality butter, fragrant hard cheese, and a top‑notch baguette, and an equally exquisite pâté sandwich boasting a generous wedge of foie gras. The maroon façade, cured meats in the window, and exacting ingredient quality make even the simplest sandwiches feel special." - ByBon Appétit Staff & Contributors
Great sandwich where you just pick your meats and cheese, can't recommend it enough – just post up at the park nearby to eat it From Laura: "Lily and I wanted a simple baguette sandwich for lunch and Caractère de Cochon is just around the corner from us. This is a very simple and straightforward cheese and charcuterie shop that makes sandwiches. You walk in and tell the staff helping you what kind of cured meat and cheese you want and they’ll cut it right in front of you and stuff it in a baguette. You walk out with quite possibly the best sandwich of your life."
