Jambon Beurre Gruyère

Today I made a quick stop at Petit Loulou after a doctor’s visit, before hopping onto the metro. Even though I’d already had a baguette sandwich yesterday, it just felt right to have another. I went with the Jambon Beurre—easily one of my all-time favourite sandwiches (so much so that I literally have one tattooed on my arm 😂). And let me tell you, this one from Loulou made me sooooo happy.

They bake their own baguette and churn their own butter, and both really stood out. The baguette was incredible—chewy, full of flavour, and slightly moist inside rather than dry. Exactly how I like it. The butter was spot on too—salty, creamy, and packed with flavour. Add in smoky, flavourful ham and nutty Gruyère, and you’ve basically got a masterclass in how perfect a simple sandwich can be.

It’s funny how something so straightforward can bring so much joy. I was basically skipping back afterwards. What a great start to the week.
