If it wasn’t already clear: I love sandwiches. And I’ve happily been making my way around town sampling Miami’s latest offerings.
- Enter Buccan Sandwich Shop, the Palm Beach County ventanita that arrived in Miami in May.
Why it matters: Folks lined up for weeks after it opened, and I wasn’t sure if it would live up to the hype. (It did.)
- So my childhood bff Nicky and I met for lunch on a Tuesday.
- We arrived at noon (opens at 11am) and there was a steady flow of folks placing an order or picking up.
State of plate: The menu features 10 sandos ranging between about $15-$18 (a deal!), four salads, a handful of housemade sides and a soup.
- There’s also a burger, but only on Wednesdays.
Between the lines: It’s takeout only and there’s no seating aside from one or two sidewalk benches (which we were lucky to snag). Plan accordingly.
What we ordered: The Beef Carpaccio (carpaccio, arugula, crispy balsamic onions, mayo, lemon vinaigrette) and the Smoked Yellowfin Tuna Salad (gruyere, tomato, mayo, mustard shallot vinaigrette).
- The beef carp sando was insane (in a good way). For packing in so much raw meat, it was surprisingly refreshing and crisp with a subtle sweetness. The crispy onions were a standout.
- The tuna salad was tangy and flavorful. Nicky said it was the perfect beach sando.
Fun fact: For $25.25, your sandwich can be a box lunch, complete with a drink, chips, 1/2 pickle and a cookie. (We did it and it’s worth it.)…
