Le Petit Vendôme
@lesfrenchies
This hidden gem is a classic French bistro. They offer both sit down service and quick cheap eats from the front window. Their jambon beurre sandwiches are excellent. For sit down dining, try their charcuterie boards or beef tartare. For dessert, the pistachio creme brulee or tarte tatin.

Carré Pain De Mie
@lesfrenchies
This is a Japanese-style Sandwicherie. Pain de Mie is basically a sliced loaf of bread...but Japanese style (so it's closer to a brioche than wonder bread 😉)
We tried their sandwich with melted cheese and it was amazing. This shop is located on rue de Rambuteau which is a Parisian Foodie heaven!

This is our favorite bakery in Paris. They were rated #1 croissant in Paris for 2022. We're often in this boulangerie since Gare du Nord is across the street and that's our way home. Colleen often has a Palmier as a treat and their Paris Brest is scrumptious.
