Rank 6. Cosi
Italian Sandwich Shop
Cosi is a casual Saint-Germain sandwich spot built around thin focaccia baked to order in a wood-fired oven, which comes out hot enough that you'll burn your fingers and say nothing. The menu runs long enough to cover two weeks without a repeat, and it has actual tables and a bathroom, a rarity for sandwiches in Paris. Expect regulars and tourists sharing the room, both pretending they're not here for the same reason.

Rank 7. Faste
French Sandwich Shop
Faste is a croque monsieur specialist near Gare de l'Est, which means the sandwiches here are built from thick slices of bread and so much cheese sauce that cutlery and possibly a bib come into play. There's a mushroom and tarragon version for the vegetarians, and a tasting platter if you can't commit to one. The room is small and airy, with a few tables outside, and it's an easy lunch stop before or after a train.

Rank 7. Laurent Dubois Au Printemps Du Goût
French Sandwich Shop
A cheesemonger's counter on the top floor of the Printemps department store, where the croque skips the usual béchamel blanket and lets the cheese do the talking, on thin brioche. It's casual, priced like a department-store lunch, and fine to eat in your shopping-bag posture. The terrace looks over the Opéra Garnier, with the Eiffel Tower in the distance. The Infatuation ranked it among the best sandwiches in Paris.

Rank 7. Le Daily Syrien
Syrian Sandwich Shop
This is a Syrian falafel counter on the Faubourg Saint-Denis, where the sandwich is the whole point and the whole menu. Thin flatbread gets a swipe of hummus and eggplant cooked down to near purée, then sesame-flecked falafel and pink pickled turnips for a little acid. The Infatuation put it on a Best Sandwiches In Paris list, yet you can usually stroll in without a line, a state of affairs worth keeping quiet about.

Rank 7. Nonette
Vietnamese Sandwich Shop
Nonette is a bánh mì takeaway counter on Rue Jean-Pierre Timbaud, in a country where school lunch comes in four courses and a sandwich eaten standing up feels slightly rebellious. The house special stacks housemade charcuterie with pickles and good French butter, and the fried eggplant with chili and garlic is the vegetarian order that makes carnivores quietly reconsider. Cheap, fast, and eaten on the sidewalk.
