First up it’s My Favourite Sandwich, Shoreditch Why? According to Squaremeal it’s because they are so good at the classics, ‘Their aim is to offer elevated versions of classic sandwiches – we’re talking Aged Steak Meatball Marinara, Primo Coronation Chicken with Champagne pickled raisins and Bombay mix, and a Belter BLT topped off with baconnaise.’
Next it’s Crunch, Spitalfields and Soho Crunch are proving that brioche bread can be ‘the perfect vehicle for all sorts of savoury fillings…Find these guys at Old Spitalfields Market and on Dean Street.’
Joining the top list is KEU, Borough best known ‘for its iconic bánh mìs – crisp French baguettes filled with a fusion of punchy ingredients.’
Next, and well worth your attention, is Toklas, The Strand which according to Squaremeal ‘serves some of the finest baked treats in London…Flavours change every week, but they’re always seasonal and always delicious.’
And finally it’s Sandwich Sandwich, City of London with its ‘ridiculously over-filled sarnies…All its fillings and breads are made fresh every morning, and you can see said fillings piled high behind the deli counter in store, ready for smooshing between two doorstop slices of bread.’
