A thick layer of butter, paper-thin folds of ham, and a baguette that's crackling outside and pillowy inside — a combination he says "gives you a whole new perspective on the ham sandwich." Refined, best-in-class, and highly recommended.
Heads up: Both versions — the cooked ham and the aged ham — are excellent, so he suggests trying both (pick whichever suits your mood).
The display of cured hams and terrines is stunning, the baguette itself is top quality and generously buttered, and the cured French black pig had a delicate, nutty saltiness.
Heads up: The staff help you choose, so it's best to talk through which baguette you want.
Raved that the combination of a crisp golden baguette, generous butter, and top-quality Parisian ham adds up to far more than the sum of its parts.
Heads up: Noted that purists don't add cheese to a jambon-beurre, so adding cheese is a matter of personal taste.
