Happy Caffé

Chez Alain Miam Miam is easily one of the best sandwich spots in Paris and absolutely worth the…read morehype, even with the long lines. We tried the jambon sandwich and chicken baguette, paired with a golden ale beer and coffee. Both sandwiches were outstanding--freshly made with incredible bread, generous fillings, and a perfect balance of textures. The strong cheese they offer on the side is a must; it pairs beautifully with the sandwiches, and the staff even lets you try it before deciding, which is a great touch. We did go around 2pm and unfortunately the pastrami was already sold out, which speaks to how popular it is. We also waited about 30-40 minutes in line, but it moved steadily and didn't feel too painful. We were lucky to find a spot to dine in, though most people grab their food to go. Service was friendly and quick despite the constant rush. The atmosphere is more grab-and-go than sit-down, with very limited indoor seating. Most people take their sandwiches to enjoy at a nearby park, which actually adds to the experience. Be prepared for a queue, but it moves faster than expected--and the payoff is absolutely worth it for what might be the best sandwich in the city.

They allow one group at a time into the shop for a fully curated Jamon Beurre experience. Yep, that is all you can get here. Ham sandwiches, but it's a much more involved experience than that. When you walk in, there is an entire wall with a cooler displaying every kind of ham possible. You have to pick whether you want cured or just baked ham. What region? They offer Italian, French, Spanish and then you have to narrow it down to the region! Then you do the same with the cheese. I ended up getting two sandwiches, the cured ham from Spain's basque country paired with Ossau-Iraty, or basque sheep milk cheese. My other sandwich was a French baked ham sandwich with comte. Which was the winner? I have to say, the cured meat from Spain was out of this world and in our taste test, was the top winner. I know, I shouldn't say that in France!

Worth the wait! Waited for only about 30 minutes for this lunch spot and it was well worth the…read morewait! We had no idea what the menu said or what to get and the worker was so sweet and helped explain all of the options and what the favorites were. Small little shop, only allows 1 group at a time which honestly makes you feel like rushed/judged. We went with 2 types, one cooked and one curated meat and the one with Brie cheese and one with truffle cheese. Absolutely phenomenal and would recommend if youre in pairs!

They were good, but they weren't the kind of sandwiches that make you stop after the first bite and think, this is amazing. I honestly don't understand the hype. After waiting in line, I expected something truly memorable, but it turned out to be just a good sandwich, nothing more. If you happen to pass by when there's little or no queue, it's worth trying.

Ending Paris the Way I Started It -- With a Crêpe!…read more It was my final day in Paris, so naturally I decided to end my trip the same way I started it: with a crêpe! Instead of salmon this time, I went with chicken and ordered the Mykonos -- chicken, mozzarella, basil, and pesto -- and added spinach because, you know, fiber. The crêpe was delicious! Definitely the highlight of my visit, so shoutout to the cook because they did their thing. I also ordered an iced coffee with vanilla syrup, but what arrived was...not quite that. It was some sort of iced latte-ish drink that was very sweet. I'm still not entirely sure what I drank, but we were short on time, so I just rolled with it. The restaurant itself is really cute, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It's in a great spot that gets lots of sunlight, so the natural lighting is chef's kiss -- especially if you're trying to get a cute brunch pic. Unfortunately, the service was pretty subpar. The woman behind the bar greeted us warmly and told us to sit wherever we liked, but once seated, our server didn't acknowledge us until I flagged him down. The restaurant wasn't overly crowded, yet he still seemed impatient and brusque throughout our interaction. Overall, I really enjoyed my crêpe and would absolutely come back for the food. Hopefully next time with a different server...and the iced coffee I actually ordered.

Ashley and I also split the French Onion Soup. I will say by Duck was very good. Tasty rich sauce with crispy duck skin cooked perfectly. Some of the best duck I have had in awhile. I will say the French Onion Soup though was a little bland. I just didn't have that rich beef broth I am used too.
