Parisian

Parisian is one of my favourite lunch options in Sale. It is run by a very friendly couple who make everything fresh, including the French baguette which is lovely and soft. They have a good selection of sandwiches, the Greek is particularly good with a delicious mix of olives, feta, tomatoes, mint and cucumber. I would also recommend the salmon deluxe but to be honest you wouldn’t be disappointed with anything you ordered. Parisian also do outside catering and we have used them at my work several times and have been impressed with the level of service and quality offered. The Danish pastries and croissants are very good too, if you fancy a spot of breakfast on the way to work. I had to shout out about Parisian as I think it is important to support local and friendly independents businesses.

The slow but sure exploration of Sale continued with Parisian one lunchtime.
At first I wasn’t sure if it had been there for years or had just literally opened for business, as there was a fair bit of empty shelving, but it turns out it was the former
and I’d probably just arrived at the tail end of the lunchtime rush.
The couple who own it were welcoming, and French, so I had a feeling that food quality was not going to be an issue. They have a decent range of sandwich options (all made from scratch) so I opted for the ‘Parisian Ham Special’ to take away which was less than £4 if memory serves — and it was very tasty indeed. Loads of ham and salad with just enough mustard mayo to add to the flavour; the baguette was warm and fresh.
I also spied a counter of unusual desserty-​type things but resisted temptation. This time.
On more pleasant days they have seating out front (though they face on to the busy Northenden Road so it’s not exactly peaceful, but good for watching the world go by).
