The "Tradition" has long gone by. Dont bother to stop.
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

Unless you have to go, just to say "I've been there" steer clear of this tourist trap. Poor quantity (sandwiches are very small) Poor quality ( I tasted the bread, remeber the old "where's the beef?!?!") (pickled eggs arent really pickled, they are merely colored and slightly flavored) Poor value (Too expensive for a sandwich)

Pros: Coffee.

Cons: Everything except the coffee.

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

The sinus-clearing hot mustard gives Philippe's French-dipped sandwiches their powerful, distinctive flavor. If you want to add a culinary punch to any meal, you can buy this combustible condiment by the jar at the restaurant.
