| - I have to admit, I am a sandwich fanatic. I'm most likely to order the token sandwich/burger at any pub, restaurant, or bistro. Discovering Cafe Raymond was like a pilgrimage to the sandwich holy land.
Owner Ray knows exactly what he is doing when he builds those beautiful masterpieces between fresh bread. The menu may seem standard, but the sandwiches are anything but. My favorites include the Club, and BLT. Both sport fantastically thick slices of bacon, and irresistible homemade mayo.
Be sure to stop by on Thursdays or Fridays. Every Thursday, Ray makes a limited quantity of specialty hamburgers. The patties are a beef, bacon hybrid, and rival the best local burger joints. Friday specials tend to be grilled cheeses lovingly tucked between pillowy slices of brioche. Just writing this is making my mouth water.
Cafe Raymond also serves breakfast on certain mornings. I've never made it down for that, but legend has it the fare is delightful. It can get crazy in there around standard lunch hours--I recommend stopping by a little before noon or after 1 if you want to avoid the crowd.
From the outside, it may look like a standard sandwich shop tucked in the Strip, but I highly recommend it.
