The one to order

The galette or sandwich of the day, loaded with cheese and grilled on the plancha

The line to expect: Up to 45 minutes at weekends. Beat it: before 11:30am on a weekday. Closed Mondays.

A cult stall in Paris's oldest covered market, where Alain grates cheese over everything and talks the whole time.

Croque-monsieur

Croque-monsieur

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.
