"I’ve loved David Lebovitz’s namesake blog and myriad books for years, especially his seemingly endless stories about living in Paris. So when I stumbled upon an old post about “The Best Sandwich in Paris” mid-trip in 2022, I dropped everything and headed to Le Petit Vendôme. Greeted with a rowdy lunch crowd, I was lucky enough to score a seat at the bar. I was immediately entranced by a staffer slinging jamón beurre sandwiches—moving at such an efficient clip that I could barely tear away to chat with my spouse. Crackly fresh baguette, soft rich butter, a ham to end all hams, and a few cornichons. Ouah! I returned later in the week to snag another sandwich for the plane. It was a perfect last meal." - ByThe Bon Appétit Staff & Contributors
