We are already totally in croc’love with this croque-monsieur specialist located in SoPi (South Pigalle) ! Here, the ultimate French grilled cheese sandwich is a real winner. You will quickly understand why…
Valéry, Georges, Jacques, François… do these names ring a bell? Each recipe, ten in total, bears the name of a former French president. Just need pick the one that suits you best. Great bread and a traditional recipe by Benoît Castel, Baltic or toast, depending on the recipe.
For the Paris ham, Beaufort cheese and béchamel sauce with nutmeg combo, vote Valéry (12€). For the Bayonne ham, glazed pimentos, osso iraty (cheese), vote François (13,60€). You are more into Green? Go for Vincent (11,80€), eggplant caviar, olives, ricotta.
Sides of fries/or salad.
Tops, the Madame option with egg.
And for dessert, the house banoffee is a winner.
We adore: the neo-vintage decor and super comfy space signed by the up and coming Nuts Architects cabinet.
Open Monday to Saturday for lunch. In the evening from Tuesday to Saturday. Closed on Sunday.
Also discover L'Escient, a French bistronomic restaurant on Rue Poncelet.
