Le Fumoir
Well-known by club fans, the one served at the Fumoir is a legend in its own right… It also happens to be the favourite of the DO IT TEAM—divinely put together and rather light: bread toasted on the spot, house mayo, chicken slivers, crunchy bacon, salad, tomato and onion, all served with pickled carrots and cucumbers for the fresh touch. To be ordered all day long with a tout au long de Ginger twist carrot juice or a cocktail in the evening.
Price: €12.

Le Meurice
Every real Parisienne must have taken a bite of this absolutely divine “accessible luxury” at least once in a life time. Digging into a club and fries at the Meurice bar, elbow to elbow with Carla Bruni or Léa Seydoux. Aside from the trendy aspect, the plate is also very high-end because it has been elected several times as best club sandwich in Paris, under the helm of Alain Ducasse… To be tested in its veggie, chicken or salmon version.

Le Café de Flore
Sonia Rykiel dreamt of it. Le Flore created it for her. A club sandwich without bread, nor mayo: "the club Rykiel" was born. Concretely: it tasted like a club sandwich, it looks like a club sandwich and it’s crunchy, thanks to the grilled bacon. Imagine two wooden spikes under which are layered bacon, chicken, tomato, salad and hard boiled egg, as with a real club—to be customised with mustard and ketchup. We prefer telling you right off the bat: it’s the ultimate snobbism of the Parisienne.
