Clubs, mini baguettes, wraps: the best sandwiches for a company meeting or after-work event in Paris
Clubs, mini baguettes or wraps: which sandwich to choose for a meeting or an after-work event, where to find the award-winning sandwiches in Paris in 2026, and how many to order for 10, 20 or 50 people.
For a company meeting or after-work event in Paris, the best sandwiches are the ones you can hold in one hand and finish in two or three bites: clubs cut into triangles, filled mini baguettes and wraps rolled then sliced. Among shops, the 2026 competition of the Syndicat des boulangers du Grand Paris ranked the sandwich from the Pépite bakery, in the 11th arrondissement, first. For 20 people, allow about 120 pieces: at L'Écrin Traiteur, 5 trays of 24 clubs cost €353.50 excl. VAT, delivery included.
Club, mini baguette or wrap: which sandwich for which moment?
| Format | What it brings | Best moment |
|---|---|---|
| Club sandwich | Soft brioche-style bread cut into triangles: eaten without cutlery, does not get squashed | A meeting that runs into lunch, after-work event |
| Mini baguette | Crusty bread, generous filling, a reassuring format | Leaving drinks, after-work event, reception |
| Wrap | Rolled tight and cut into bites: lighter and more colourful | Afternoon meeting, standing drinks |
| Individual sandwich in a lunch box | A whole sandwich per person, with a starter and a dessert | Seated working lunch, training session |

2. Pépite, best sandwich in Greater Paris 2026
This bakery and pâtisserie at 195 boulevard Voltaire (11th arrondissement) won the third edition of the Greater Paris best sandwich competition in March 2026, organised by the Syndicat des boulangers du Grand Paris. 41 artisans from Paris and the inner suburbs entered; each presented a chicken sandwich, a vegetarian one and a fish one.
3. Maison Marnay, second in the same competition
Located on rue Saint-Martin, in the 4th arrondissement, Maison Marnay took second place in the 2026 competition, ahead of Le Fournil Gourmand in Noisy-le-Grand. A handy address for offices in the Marais and around Beaubourg.
4. La Renaissance, in Châtillon, 2025 winner
The 2025 edition of the same competition crowned the La Renaissance bakery run by Anibal and Sophie Lopes, 184 bis avenue de Paris in Châtillon (Hauts-de-Seine). That year the jury scored nine sandwiches per entrant: three with meat, three with fish, three vegetarian.
How to recognise a good meeting sandwich?
| Criterion | What to look for |
|---|---|
| The bread | A crust that crackles for the baguette, a soft crumb for the club: stale or soggy bread shows straight away. |
| The format | Two or three bites at most. A whole sandwich is eaten sitting down, not standing with a glass in hand. |
| A balance of fillings | At least one vegetarian option (egg and Emmental) and one fish option alongside the poultry. |
| How it holds | A filling that does not drip: measured sauce, clean cut, tray covered until serving. |
| Inclusion | Halal poultry, no pork: one tray for the whole team, with no "separate" tray. |
How many sandwiches to plan and what budget for 10, 20 or 50 people?
For drinks or an after-work event, allow 6 savoury pieces per person: that is the number of savoury pieces in our L'Invitation drinks reception. If the sandwiches replace a lunch, go up to 9 pieces. The calculation below uses 6 pieces with the Clubs Signature tray (24 pieces, €64.90 excl. VAT), delivery €29 excl. VAT.
| People | Pieces needed | Trays of 24 | Total excl. VAT, delivery included |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 60 | 3 (72 pieces) | 3 × 64.90 = €194.70 + €29 = €223.70 |
| 20 | 120 | 5 (120 pieces) | 5 × 64.90 = €324.50 + €29 = €353.50 |
| 50 | 300 | 13 (312 pieces) | 13 × 64.90 = €843.70 + €29 = €872.70 |
That is €2.70 excl. VAT per piece. For variety, mix clubs, mini baguettes and wraps: the last two trays are priced on quote. For a seated lunch, the lunch box gives a whole sandwich per person with a starter and a dessert, from €18.90 excl. VAT (La Fermière, egg and Emmental) to €21.90 excl. VAT (La Nordique, salmon and avocado). Quantities for a full buffet are in our guide cold buffet: quantities per person, and after-work formats in company after-work ideas.
