Chanceux

Tucked away on a quiet stretch of Rue Galande, just moments from the iconic Notre Dame Cathedral, Chanceux is a charming little spot that has mastered the art of the toasted sandwich. Behind its antique wood-and-glass facade lies a space where simple ingredients are transformed into something truly memorable.

The menu here is refreshingly focused on what they do best: toasties. The pastrami version arrives loaded with housemade pickles and melted Swiss cheese, creating a satisfying combination of tangy and savory. But it’s the mushroom melt that steals the show—served on substantial rye bread with a garlicky almond pesto rosso and a decadent mix of gorgonzola and mushrooms that somehow feels both hearty and refined. Each sandwich comes halved, revealing gorgeous cross-sections that practically beg to be photographed before devouring.

The interior has an industrial-chic vibe with high stools and bright overhead lighting. While pleasant enough for a quick bite, the real move here is to grab your toasties to go and stroll over to Square René Viviani just around the corner. This picturesque park offers one of the best views of Notre Dame in the city, making it the perfect backdrop for your lunch.

Chanceux is ideal for those spontaneous afternoon cravings when you want something quick, affordable, and genuinely delicious. No reservations needed—just walk in, order, and let these exceptional toasties work their magic.
