    OMSammy. Absolutely one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life. They're huge! I strongly…read moresuggest sharing one. These sandwiches are curated, edible pieces of art made with love by the one and only Alain. It's easy to see why they're so popular. People love the sandwiches so much that his stall inside Marche' Des Efants Rouges can see lines lasting upwards of an hour or more. And people stay in the line. We lucked out and only had to wait about twenty minutes. I tell you, I'd wait all day if need be. I often dream of the sandwiches we had and can't wait to have them again. A picture is worth a thousand words and therefore, my photos can tell you everything you need to know about how good the sandwiches were. It makes me smile when I look at the pic of us with Alain. What a wonderful human being producing wonderful food for the people.

    Absolutely scrumptious! There was a line out the door, so bring a friend or a book because it was…read moreworth it. I had the corn beef, which was excellent, with caramalized onions and lettuce and tomato and the stronger of the two cheeses (which they let me taste test). Don't forget to specify if you want a crepe or a sandwich! I got the sandwich. The staff spoke great English but did speak to me in French (someone learning, which is always a confidence boost). There are a few tables inside, but I would suggest taking it to go in the parc near by. Don't forget to get a drink! I enjoyed the sparkling grapefruit juice. Sweet but very yummy. Absolument délicieux ! Il y avait la queue jusque dans la rue, alors venez accompagné(e) ou avec un livre, ça vaut vraiment le coup. J'ai pris le corned-beef, excellent, avec des oignons caramélisés, de la laitue, des tomates et le fromage le plus fort des deux (qu'ils m'ont fait goûter). N'oubliez pas de préciser si vous voulez une crêpe ou un sandwich ! J'ai pris le sandwich. Le personnel parlait très bien anglais, mais ils m'ont aussi parlé en français (quelqu'un qui apprenait, ce qui est toujours encourageant). Il y a quelques tables à l'intérieur, mais je vous conseille plutôt d'emporter votre commande et de la déguster dans le parc tout près. Pensez à prendre une boisson ! J'ai adoré le jus de pamplemousse pétillant. Sucré, mais vraiment délicieux.

    Oh my goodness! What a wonderful treat on my Paris trip…read more I ventured off alone during the day after family was touristy tired. The best French pastries ever. Thank you so much for the wonderful treats. I will savor them for three days. I asked in French if the ladies spoke English and they were kind enough to oblige. They were about an hour from closing but everything I got was so yummy. All the best. Ms. C.

    I spent a week in Paris at a studio apartment a few blocks away and this quickly became my go to…read moreshop for breakfast treats. Literally everything I tried was amazing and I tried quite a few things. And it's not just the vacation bias, since I did try other bakeries in the neighborhood that were very mediocre. Mille Feuille: Loved how the dry flaky layers contrasted the creamy layers. Éclairs au Chocolat: My French is weak so I thought I was getting vanilla cream filled, so the chocolate ganache was surprising. But a pleasant surprise as it was super rich, playing nicely against the choux shell. Canelés: Perfectly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It tasted like there was some hint of alcohol flavoring inside, but I couldn't place it. Bonne Maman Poire Chocolat: Loved the soft pears against the brownie-like surrounding tart. Tartelette Framboise: Basically an excuse to get a ton of cream, which happens rest on a buttery shell and be covered in fresh raspberries. Cheese Cake: Nothing like New York cheesecake. It has the consistency of no-bake, but wasn't, since it tasted baked. So airy and light and delicious. Delise de Iles: One of the prettiest desserts with so many pretty colorful layers, including fluffy meringue on top. I especially liked how the fruit paste layer contrasted the creamy layer. Cherry Frangipane: A little dry on its own, but pairs well with coffee. The fragrant cooked cherries are the highlight. Pineapple Tartlet: Forget the French name, but it was a rather dry grainy tart (almost muffin-like) with candied pineapple on top. Another one that goes well with coffee. Cavette(?): Not sure if I got the spelling right, but this was basically like rectangular-shaped croissant dough with cream and chocolate in between. AMAZING! Perhaps my favorite breakfast treat. Croissant au Beurre: Simple, yet so amazing. Better than anything I've had in stateside. Baguette aux Lardons: How can you make a baguette better? Add crispy thick bacon bits and cheese! Sandwich Jambon et Fromage: My favorite of the simple baguette sandwiches I tried. A classic ham & cheese that the French somehow make amazing. Sandwich Brie Beurre: Very rich since you have creamy brie and butter! Sandwich Saucisson Cornichons: Each ingredient individually was fine, but I wasn't digging the combination. I should have probably stuck with having some sort of cheese. Baguette Traditional: Super crunchy and crispy outside, with a soft and airy center. Baguette Classique: Reminded me of a hoagie roll, but way fancier. All the good parts of baguette, but a slightly softer shell that manages to crunch a tad but it gets chewy.

    This place was so weird…read more Definitely a place where locals hang out. We randomly stumbled in here because it was so packed, we figured it must be good. We chatted up another patron to get the 411 on what was good since the menu was entirely in French and we couldn't figure out what most of the items were before heading to the counter to order. That's when things went downhill. They have this strange payment system where you have to exchange your cash for their coins, then you use their coins to pay for your food. Umm....what? No thanks, especially since everything has to be rounded up and you end up with extra coins you can't use except here. We figured out you could pay by credit card to bypass this system, but their machine managed to decline ALL of our credit cards. Shady, bc that basically forced us to use their coin thing. Anyway, we gave up and bounced. It just didn't seem worth the hassle.

    The good: - Service is friendly…read more- the tapas is good with a good variety (pig snout, steak, razor clams are some of the more memorable dishes) - good price point for food and drinks - great ambiance The not so good: - service is haphazard due to how busy the place is and their coin system - their coin system is quite annoying because you have to go buy their "grouin" first before you pay with them - you have to buy at least 10 EUR of grouins at a time, which means you really need to figure out and do the math before you buy - or be okay with coming back again It's great for a fun night out, but you just really need to be prepped on their system
