Croque-Monsieur: The best French sandwich

A bistro is a small restaurant serving typical French food. If you go to Paris then you will find many.

It is eaten quickly there because the food is already ready or can be prepared quickly.

The king of every bistro is certainly Croque-Monsieur, an inevitable part of the menu.

Croque comes from the word bite, and Monsieur means gentleman. If you think it means nothing, then realistically it doesn't mean anything in France either. Therefore, it is not known exactly how this name was created.
