"Ham on the bone with butter remains one of the highlights of Parisian gastronomy with Julien baguette, nice butter and a portion of ham on the bone at wish. When one enters this moment, it is humanly impossible to unhook. Perfect crunch, softness and ham."
"The crusty baguette, good butter and a nice slice of ham... simple and very good."
"Wrapped in a Julien baguette both crunchy and slightly toasted (best baguette in Paris 1995), the ham bone (from Brittany) is tender and fragrant, with smooth and salty butter."
"They are just two apparently humble ingredients, yet choose them carefully, tuck them into a crackly-crusted baguette, add a swipe of Dijon mustard and you have one of the world's most extraordinary sandwiches. No-one understands this better than the staff at Le Petit Vendôme."
"It is a monument in its class."
"Far from the complexity claimed today, this ham-butter is a simple gem. Simple but powerful indeed: ham on the bone, premium butter. Not to mention the bread."
"This up here was an amazing cured jambon sandwich with creamy goat cheese with black pepper. Not only was there nothing wrong with this sandwich, everything about it was right."
"Le Petit Vendôme, a traditional French café near the exclusive Place Vendôme, is a great place to get a delicious ham and butter sandwich."
"His ham-butter is (also) presented as the best of Paris, in any case, a real antidepressant with ham on the bone, and premium butter."

"On a recommendation, I grabbed a Jambon-beurre to go and enjoyed this perfect sandwich on the train to Lyon. It was just as good as promised."
