On days when I feel like having something light for lunch, I’ll head to Cuisine de Bar, the cafe arm of renowned Poilâne bakery, for some utterly French open-faced sandwiches, a.k.a. tartines.
8 rue Cherche-Midi, Paris

Sit in front of the “bar” and watch your tartines being freshly made in front of you!

This time, I had a lovely crayfish and guacamole tartine, served on the famous Poilâne sourdough bread, of course!

Remember to pop by Poilâne bakery (right next door) and get an apple tart for dessert!
Trust me, it’ll be the highlight of lunch.
