I went to vandal twice and this place is a pure gem on all counts!
First, the food. The sandwiches are simply incredible. The quality of the ingredients, the innovative and stunning, well-balanced recipes, the presentation and the quantity are just to die for. The bread is amazing and holds on (it looks hard to eat but it's not). All the flavours are there and equalizing perfectly to give amazing sandwiches you will remember for sure. I tried the 'boulette' (the banger sandwich there!) and the egg sandwich, there were simply amazing with a lot more ingredients that sublime the sandwiches. The crumble cake -homemade everyday - was also unbelievably good. Btw, you can see the chef preparing the sandwiches almost in front of you with the open kitchen.
Second, the atmosphere, it's cosy and minimalist, it's very warm inside and very relaxed while being very neat and beautiful.
Third, the staff. Don't hesitate to talk with the chef (who is the co-business owner btw) and his wife (the other co-business owner), both in their 30's. They are fairly talkative if you are open to talk, and will proudly but also modestly elaborate on their project/business, where the ingredients are coming from etc. if you wonder how come what you are eating is so unique and simply delicious. And they will also talk further non-cuisine related topics such as music, art, the neighbourhood and so on, if you wish.
Fourth, the cleanliness of the place. It is simply spotless. Rarely I have seen a food-providing place that clean!
Fifth, the music. It simply plays from a smartphone on a marshall speaker but the tunes are the owners' choices and it's trendy and eclectic (I love music so was particularly happy to discover some new very cool tunes while I was there).
All in all, if you are around (or not), if you plan to walk around in the buttes chaumont parc, definitely plan your meals accordingly to stop by for truly delicious food in a comforting but still minimalistic place with great people. I will definitely come back! Thanks Vandal!
