The £10 Steak Frites Sandwich Has Entered the Chat
The £10 Steak Frites Sandwich Has Entered the Chat
Steak Frites is usually the sort of lunch that asks for a table, a glass of wine and enough time to enjoy it properly.
We have found another way.
Monday to Friday, The Laundry serves a £10 Steak Frites Sandwich to go, with thinly sliced grilled bavette, café de Paris butter and fries tucked into a freshly baked baguette.
It is called Pick Up a Parisian, and it is making weekday lunch on Coldharbour Lane considerably easier.
Steak Frites, but make it portable
The idea is fairly straightforward. Take everything that makes Steak Frites worth ordering and put it somewhere you can carry.
The grilled bavette is sliced thinly before being paired with café de Paris butter and fries inside a fresh baguette. The result still feels like a proper lunch, just without requiring the rest of your afternoon to revolve around it.
For anyone looking for lunch in Brixton between meetings, on the way back to work or simply because cooking was never part of the plan, it is a useful addition to the week.
A better weekday lunch
The Laundry has always been built around all-day dining, but not every visit needs to turn into a long one.
The Steak Frites Sandwich gives you a quick weekday lunch in Brixton without reducing lunch to something forgettable. You still get proper steak, café de Paris butter and fries, only now you can take the whole thing with you.
It is available Monday to Friday for £10, making it one of the more useful lunch deals in Brixton for anyone around Coldharbour Lane during the week.
If you do have time, stay
The takeaway version is not your only option.
On Wednesdays, Steak Frites also appears as The Laundry’s £15 Plat du Jour, with grilled bavette, café de Paris butter and fries served at the table.
The midweek Plats du Jour run Monday to Wednesday, with the Fish Brioche Burger on Monday, Pie of the Day on Tuesday and Steak Frites on Wednesday.
So the choice really depends on the day you are having. Pick up the sandwich when time is short, or take a seat when lunch deserves a little more attention.
Lunch on Coldharbour Lane
If you are searching for places to eat in Brixton, The Laundry is just a short walk from Brixton Station and Brixton Village, right on Coldharbour Lane.
Alongside the weekday specials, the current menu includes dishes such as heritage tomato and cucumber panzanella, Thai-style chicken salad with nam jim and roasted cashews, prawn and lobster cocktail, and hot-sour aubergine with romesco.
That means the Steak Frites Sandwich can be the whole plan, or simply the quickest way into a much longer lunch.
