Pain, Vin, Fromage: La Norvegienne

Now I am two countries behind on my food blogging. No good, says I! But the above sandwich was!!!

K and I heard about PVF last summer but it was closed in August. It's tucked in on a sidesteeet just east of the Pompidou museum (in Paris, off rue beauborg).

It's a cozy rustic affair with cheese flights sorted by region, hardness, and milk (goat, sheep, and cow) for 17 euros each. As the name suggests, they also have wine (though few by the glass or half-bottle) and an assortment of sandwiches toasted on the truly incomparable pain poillane sourdough.

Above was the extraordinarily decadent norvegienne with smoked salmon, double-cream brie, and creme fraiche (on a thick slice of poillane!). Like a tuna melt for hedonists! 7 euros.
