Le Petit Vendôme

The experience

A dim, noisy, defiantly old-fashioned bistro and sandwich counter on Rue des Capucines, around the corner from Place Vendôme and the Ritz. Office workers queue at lunch for what many Parisians call the best jambon-beurre in the city, while the dining room behind serves regional plates and cheap wine. Walk-ins only; closed Sunday.

A €6 sandwich institution holding its ground in the city's most expensive shopping district, packed full of locals.
