Le Sandwich — Restaurant in San Francisco

Where Taste Meets Friendly Service

A few days ago, I was walking by Le Sandwich, and I noticed them for the first time in the four years they've been in business! That should say something about my attention to my surroundings! I walked in to see what they offer. I ended up having a very friendly chat with the owner, Elias (Eli-S). He is a personable man and shared everything I needed to know, making me want to return and try one of his popular sandwiches. I say "popular" because while I was there, neighbor after neighbor walked in to place an order, and they all seemed to be repeat customers. Anyhow, I got myself a drip coffee and, as I walked out, made a mental note to be back after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Today, I went back and asked Elias for his personal favorite sandwich. He obliged me, and I asked him which one it was when he handed me the hefty sandwich. He replied, "You won't find it on the menu!"

I hurried home with the sandwich and took my first bite. It was delicious! The roasted chicken breast strips were cooked perfectly, juicy, and flavorful. The pesto sauce enhanced the taste, and the bread was toasted, thin, and hollowed out, holding everything together nicely! The sandwich had more than chicken and pesto sauce, but I was too hungry to slow down and analyze it!

Le Sandwich has a couple of tables outside where, on a nice day, one can sit and enjoy their meal. They also have a few stools at a counter facing the window. You can get your sandwich to go, as I did, or eat it there before it gets cold!

In addition to sandwiches, Le Sandwich offers a variety of other items, including salads, and pastries. It also has a selection of beverages, from coffee and tea to fresh juices. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous. Le Sandwich is open from 9 AM to 3 PM every day except Sunday when it is closed.

I highly recommend giving Le Sandwich a try. You won't be disappointed if you're in the mood for a quick bite or a...

Call it fate, call it kismet, but whatever brought us to le sandwich, I will always be grateful to the universe that it did. If Joey Tribbiani had eaten here in 1994, they would've had to shoot the rest of the Friends series in San Francisco. Once you've had one of chef Elias's masterpieces, every day without one is a little bit sadder. Like all of your favorite food places, there's really not enough room for everybody. But as long as there's enough room for me, that's all that matters. When my wife and our two daughters stopped by here for lunch, it was the result of not finding the place we were looking for. But we soon realized we found exactly the place we were looking for. From the fresh bread to the delicious fixings, everything feels like it just came from the farmers market. The bacon on the BLT is perfect, the cranberry sauce on the turkey sandwich tastes so good you're ready to slip into the sweet bliss of a Thanksgiving nap. From the Boylan soda to the kettle-cooked chips, no detail was left out. With every bite, my wife and I commented on our sheer enjoyment. And to top it all off, Elias is one of those salt of the earth people who knows how to create hospitality wherever he goes. So strong was his charm, that, for a brief moment, I started to imagine what it might be like to be a Tottenham Hotspur fan. Unfortunately, we got there just before closing time, but the good news is, there's an entirety of the menu yet to explore, breakfast and lunch. You can better the next time we are in San Francisco, we won't miss the chance to visit le sandwich. You...

We were starving after a swim at Joe DiMaggio Pool (around the corner) so opted to run in an get a bite here.

This isn’t a fast food establishment so expect to wait a bit, as business for pick up, take out and dine outside was brisk at lunch hour and the owner, who will prepare your gastromic delight while you wait is a genie.

A clever creative and warm person who greats the regulars and asks about the fam. Old World hospitality and New World culinary sensibilities. Fresh ingredients, a varied menu that includes meat, poultry, fish and various veggie/vegan options.

I highly recommend the Viking. A delicious and creative take on traditional lox and bagel. The sandwich was large, lotsa salmon, delicious and satisfying.

There’s a huge variety of beverages on hand in the self serve fridge, old fashioned soda water with quinine! When do you see that anymore?

Le Sandwich is a tiny spot but has a big heart for the community it seems and is definitely worth stopping in for a bite whenever I’m in...
