The best sandwich bars Chicago

The ideal break for a fresh and organic sandwich, with the best local ingredients. The pretzel bread is prepared on the spot and garnished with all kinds of sauces and cheeses (including goat's cheese with truffle). Turkey, cranberry jam and brie are among the house specialities. There are a total of eight addresses in Chicago, all of which are taken over by business people at lunchtime during the week. And to accompany your coffee or tea, you'll have a choice of excellent cookies, brownies or apple bread.

This French-style sandwich and pastry shop is the perfect place to stop off for a bite to eat in the Loop. The menu includes muffins, croissant sandwiches and hearty pizza breads. The decor is packed with references to French culture, including a poster... Orangina! It's a tad expensive, but not necessarily more so than a Starbucks, and it's a good alternative to fast food in terms of quality, for the same price range. Another branch is located in Oak Park.
