The story
Melt Deli has landed on Rue des Halles, bringing the smoked-meat mastery of one of Europe’s premier barbecue destinations into a tight, sandwich-focused menu. Jack’s Dining Room, which dubbed the original location the “best BBQ spot in Europe,” calls the meats here “perfectly cooked … fatty, tender, and full of flavor.”
The kitchen’s smoke skills are on full display across a compact lineup that includes the 15 Hours Slow Smoked Brisket Grilled Cheese, the Pami, the Pork Belly sandwich, and a classic Pastrami. As Jack’s Dining Room notes, Melt Deli “excels at delivering creative sandwiches that showcase their incredible smoked meats.” For a meat-forward, no-frills experience with serious barbecue pedigree, this hole-in-the-wall delivers.

Pami Sandwich
Next up, their pami sandwich on a buttery French bread. This is kind of a take on a New York pami sandwich except they hit it with Chipotle mayo. The second you take a bite, it dissolves in your mouth. You don't leave New York, come to Paris and expect to find bami this good. This is amazing.
Pork Belly Sandwich
Next up we have their pork belly sandwich, kind of like a French B meat. Whenever you see pork that has this outer red edge, you just know it's going to hit. I need to tap in with the owner and ask what the hell he's doing to this meat because it's insane.
