Caractere de Cochon - Paris

Was so excited that this spot was next to where I am staying. Then I went in and the beady eyed guy started messing with me from the moment I walked in the door. He kept glaring at his friend, saying something in French, then...More

Great place to pick up a yummy sandwich for a picnic or eat on the go. Try the spanish ham...greata! Go a few blocks up to Poilane and add an apple tart for a perfect meal.

We were staying across the street in an apartment and this shop was recommended to us. Didn't know what to get but they recommended the ham sandwich. Absolutely heavenly. We were back the next day for more and also some sausage. Absolutely heavenly. And while we did not try their pate, (next time!), we hear that is heavenly. We went back the day before our departure and he made us more ham sandwiches for our flight (sure beats the airline food and you can't help but smile as you have that last wonderful taste of Paris) and to bring sausage home with us. Unfortunately, that didn't work as we hoped. Customs confiscated it - and I'm sure they enjoyed it at their lunch table. Cheese products were ok but NO meat products. The owner and his team are so helpful - you just want to hug them. He even suggested the perfect place for our last meal. Love this place-don't miss it.

Best sandwiches in town! The owner is amazing, he takes his time to explain everything about how the food is made, cured and let's us try a few! Amazing bien-cuit bread. Perfect to grab and eat!

This tiny shop is AMAZING. We always make sure to stop in at least once when in Paris. The owner is kind & knows his way around ham. Just tell him what you like & ask him what he recommends - try something you've never had before. The first time we stopped in we went a little crazy buying all sorts of ham - you can spend a lot when there are truffles involved. But worth every penny! Have him make you a sandwich if you can't decide - the bread, butter & delicious ham is heaven in your mouth.
