Fancy a good croque-monsieur? Find out where to eat this classic French dish in Paris!

It's hard to get more indulgent, more regressive and more satisfying than a hearty croque-monsieur dripping with melted cheese, don't you agree? Decades after its invention in the late 19th century, this staple of French bistro cuisine continues to delight young and old, people in a hurry and tourists passing through Paris, all at a generally affordable price.

Paris is full of places where you can enjoy a good croque-monsieur, prepared according to the rules of the art. Whether they follow the original recipe, based on ham, béchamel and cheese, or indulge in a little more originality, with chicken, raclette cheese or a vegetarian version, croque-monsieurs can be enjoyed all year round in Parisian restaurants.
