Master Critic Review
La Sandwicherie Wynwood
7.8
Franz and Elise Leforestier have been slinging French baguette sandwiches in Miami since 1988, and this Wynwood outpost—steps from the Walls—brings the same formula to the art district crowd: crusty bread, quality charcuterie (prosciutto, saucisson sec, pâté), fresh vegetables, and that addictive Dijon vinaigrette they call Magic sauce. The 5am closing time makes it the rare late-night option that isn't garbage, and unlike the chaotic South Beach original, this one has AC and actual seating. Some longtime fans note the baguette isn't quite as crispy as years past, and ordering at peak hours can feel disorganized. Works best as a quick lunch while gallery-hopping or a post-bar sandwich when you need something that won't sit heavy.
