Benchy — Restaurant in Paris

CALM, RELAXED & SIMPLE. This Sando-shop looks like a family-owned place where people work together in a cozy and jazzy-ambiance. A delicate atmosphere where your ears, mouth and, above all, your heart, will be delighted by.

MOUTH-WATERING SANDOS. While entering the place, take great care of choosing the right Sando that will fit to your tastebuds. In fact, if you like meat made the American-way, you will definitely love the Pastrami one with lots of pastrami slices topped with an American yellow mustard. If you are rather classical or you don't know what to choose, you can try and bet on the Egg & Yuzu! It is actually our TIMELESS FAVOURITE.

Now, it's time to take a seat either on their small outdoor bar, or wait for your sandos inside, while having all-ears to their melodic Japanese jazz. Exceptional.

The last step is for you to taste what you've ordered! Your appetite will be satiated by their home-made Sandos. Two-words: heavy and spatial.

ENDING CHAPTER. And whether you have a sweet-tooth or not, do not hesitate to try their sweet-sandos. They are filled with Fresh-cream like no other dessert and pastry, and are topped with some seasonal fruits!

She asked if I wanted to eat in or to go, instinctively I said eat in because I wanted to experience the restaurant. But I changed my mind after 10 seconds realizing I would be subjecting myself to further discomfort. They present the sando and juice without a bag, waiting for me having to ask for one to go. The team stares further and the lady opens a brown paper bag so forcefully.

It may be dramatic but I completely had to leave the left bank of Paris and return home. Upon arrival I found out that the sandwich was bland/not fresh and marked with the current date (perhaps the expiration).

Overall, an incredibly dehumanizing experience. If this place is on your list - especially as a person of color - do yourself a favor and remove it unless you want to be seen...

If you are in the neighbourhood of the Bon Marché department store, and you need a quick lunch on the go, I highly recommend checking out Benchy, a Japanese sando sandwich place. Inside seating is very limited.

This small outfit delivers very tasty delicious pastrami and tuna sandwiches in fluffy toasted Japanese bread among other flavours (the egg sandwich is also pretty good too). You also have desert style sando sandwiches filled with cream and strawberries or mango. The prices are reasonable while service is quick and efficient. The long queues at lunch time testify for the quality of...
