Le Marche du Quartier

My wife I split the duck Contfi sandwich here and it was both incredible and delightful! We went on a Thursday afternoon around 2pm, and there was 0 line.
The sandwich is served on a crispy French baguette lined with a bed of arugula. The baguette has a crunchy exterior and the right amount of chew. The peppery taste of the arugula compliments both the baguette and the duck.
The Contfi is cooked in a giant paella pan/​dish. The flavor is bold and incredible! The duck is pulled and cooked so that it has a the right balance of crunch and tenderness.
Of all the things we tried at the market, this was in my top 2 things to have (along with the chorizo sandwich just a few shops over).
If you’re making the trip here, take the £6 and get you a sandwich. And if there’s two of you, go ahead and share it — you won’t be disappointed!

The duck confit sandwich was so so good here. It was tender, juicy, fatty and delicious with lots of duck stuffed to the brim in a brioche bun (you have a choice of 3 different kinds of bread, one other one is ciabatta and the other I can’t remember). For drinks, they had mulled wine and hot spiced apple cider and we got delicious apple cider. Perfect for the cold and windy weather last Friday.

Uh oh. My husband and I visited Borough Market and having had an excellent experience with duck sandwiches at the Copenhagen Market, we decided to give it a go.
Something went terribly wrong and here’s what it is.
1) The duck was dry, dry, dry.
2) There was not enough French mustard on the sandwich.
3) The bread-​to-​meat ratio was off (a common problem in Europe).
Won’t be returning. Too many other options in the market.
Sad face.

This shop is one of my favourite in Borough Market, which is in turn my favourite food market in London. Borough Market may be touristy but if you look beyond cynicism, there are lots of amazing food and produce options around
From its name, you may be able to guess that this shop specialises in all things French. It may be the smell of the duck sandwich that they sell for £5. Duck confit topped up with peppery leaves in a roll. Just don’t tell your doctor but I think this is one of the best sandwiches in the market
I also love their produce. They have yummy products in their fridge — whole lobes of foie gras and duck confit to name but 2. I’ve had some great rilettes and cheese from the deli counter. The shelves are lined with truffle salt, jars of goose fat, tins of cassoulet and even bunches of lavender
The staff are very knowledgeable and will guide you through their products. If you purchase enough stuff, they’ll even throw in a free gift
Merci, mes amis!

A great place for a duck confit sandwich for lunch. The service was friendly and the portion of duck in the sandwich was very large. Have seen this stall before, glad we finally stopped.

1. Tell the super friendly lady you want a duck sandwich
2. Hand her 5£
3. Pretend you didn’t see the large volume of duck fat in the pan (or admire it)
4. Watch her lovingly stuff your sandwich to the brim with duck
5. Stuff your face

These folks are my favorite stall in Borough Market. The duck sammich cannot be beat! And to pair it up with some mulled wine. Heaven! I always make a point in passing whenever I’m going to the market. It’s definitely has become part of my weekend routine!

Ahh… the good life… this is the place to marvel at a myriad of uniquely French culinary specialties without even crossing the Channel. Tins of foie gras tumble from just about every nook and cranny… goose, duck… all boastfully labeled with a declaration of their respectable pedigree. This being a French stall, it goes without saying that plenty of shelf space has been devoted to wine, but there are also jars of cassoulet and confit as well as less commonly glimpsed (around here), but nonetheless elegant sounding, preparations of various duck parts. There’s also a charcuterie and cheese section, where you can take away a selection of appropriate nibbles for a nice wine tasting.
I also find their gift baskets rather remarkable; resplendent with cans of escargot and grainy mustard and plenty of other intriguing little artisan jars with fascinating labels that my poor French prevents me from making out exactly what the contents might be — a veritable treasure trove for any quasi-​foodie.
