5 must-try sandwiches and salads to devour without moderation

On the menu: five seriously delicious sandwiches. For meat lovers, L’Effiloch delights with its slow-cooked pork shoulder topped with caramelized onions and melting Savoy cheese. Beef enthusiasts swear by the pastrami in Le Bœuf, topped with comté and a sweet hint of honey. Fans of traditional Lyon charcuterie can't resist La Saucisse, where pistachio sausage pairs wonderfully with a zesty mustard. More classic yet equally tasty, Le Jambon features a super comforting combo of cooked ham, comté cheese, and crispy onions. And for the veggies, Le Végé brings a refreshing twist with fresh goat cheese, crunchy veggies, and a drizzle of honey.
