Tartines
Welcome to our Tartines category – a tour through the delicious world of these open-faced delights! Though not a sandwich in the traditional sense, tartines are closely sandwich-adjacent, balancing delicate flavors on a single slice of bread. From the classic French breakfast tartine with butter and jam, to the sophisticated combinations of gourmet ingredients, we're serving up a feast for the eyes and palate.
Sabanekh Sandwich (ساندويش سبانخ)
