Earl Canteen

A typical white-bread canteen this ain't. Here, you're in for a lesson on the not-so-simple sandwich. Your crusty baguette might come lined with zucchini pickles and piled with sweet sugo-soaked wagyu meatballs. Your ciabatta may be filled with a pesto and rocket-turfed forest of field mushrooms, goat's curd and chestnuts. The list of ingredients reads like a banquet in bread: confit duck with caramelised figs, truffle paste with your boudin blanc and egg... It's fine dining in the palm of your hand, and worth waiting in the queue you might encounter. Or get in early for sensible breakfasts: vanilla porridge, crumpets or toasties.
