Jamsil terrace brunch: two jambon-beurre set menus, Town Sandwich

While looking for a good sandwich in Jamsil, I found Town Sandwich. A great brunch spot! Good for a quick bite, but also great for a relaxed sit-down meal with a proper sandwich, so I went to check it out.

Town Sandwich Jamsil Branch

Inside Town Sandwich Jamsil Branch and its outdoor terrace seats

Town Sandwich Jamsil Branch is a sandwich shop on Olympic-ro 35ga-gil. Even before stepping inside, the exterior gave off a clean vibe, and the interior felt cozy and comfortable overall.

The store isn't huge, but that actually worked in its favor — it felt like the right size for a quick, simple meal.

What's on the menu at Town Sandwich Jamsil Branch?

True to a sandwich specialty shop, there were so many options that I spent a good while just staring at the menu board trying to decide.

Ordering two sets: the iced tea set and the coffee-and-soup set

Rather than a single item, I went with set menus so I could try several things at once. The sets I picked also came with a discount, making them even better value. I ordered a sandwich set that came with peach iced tea, and another set that came with coffee and soup.

The nice thing about Town Sandwich's set menus is that you get not just the sandwich but a drink and soup too. They're priced lower than ordering everything separately, so if you feel like just a sandwich alone isn't quite enough, the sets are a solid choice.

How does the basil jambon-beurre taste?

The moment they arrived they looked so good I grabbed my camera first. The basil jambon-beurre has a pale green basil butter, while the truffle jambon-beurre has a white truffle butter.

I tried the basil jambon-beurre (ham and butter baguette sandwich) first. The plain, savory-salty character of a classic jambon-beurre was lifted by the basil's aroma, and the combination worked better than I expected. The peach iced tea that came alongside was sweet and refreshing, and it cleaned my palate nicely.

A lot of people are on the hunt for jambon-beurre these days, and this one has a different charm from the standard version — worth a try if you're looking for a good jambon-beurre spot in Jamsil.

Truffle jambon-beurre with coffee and cream soup

Second up, the truffle jambon-beurre set! The distinct truffle aroma gave it a completely different feel from the basil version.

Nutty with a strong truffle flavor — personally, I thought it paired really well with the coffee.

The cream soup that came with the set also matched the sandwich well. Adding a warm, smooth soup made the meal feel much more filling, and with the sandwich and drink together, it was plenty for a full meal.

Basil or truffle: which jambon-beurre should you order?

Ordering both jambon-beurres also made for a fun side-by-side comparison. If you like basil's fragrance, go with the basil jambon-beurre; if you prefer truffle's rich, deep flavor, go with the truffle one.

If you're on the hunt for a good sandwich spot in Jamsil, or want to try a jambon-beurre with a twist, Town Sandwich is worth a visit. And if you want the drink and soup alongside it, I'd especially recommend going for one of the sets.

Being able to enjoy a good sandwich with warm soup and a drink all at once made this a place that works well for anything from a quick bite to a relaxed brunch.

If you're looking for jambon-beurre in Jamsil, comparing the basil and truffle versions is a fun way to go about it. Next time I'd like to try some of the other sandwich options one by one :) Hope this is useful for anyone who loves jambon-beurre in Jamsil!
