The one to order

The croque-monsieur: ham and cheese on toasted pain de mie, at a terrace table

The line to expect: A wait for terrace tables in the afternoon; inside upstairs is quicker.

The Saint-Germain café of Sartre and de Beauvoir; the croque is the simple thing to order at its most famous tables.

25 min · 2 sandwiches. The Paris café sandwich: ham and Gruyère in buttered pain de mie, topped with a little béchamel and more cheese and baked until it bubbles and browns. Add a fried egg on top and it's a croque-madame.
