Club Sandwich: Baguette filled with ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and hard-boiled egg in Wavre.

It goes by many names — Club, Dagobert, or simply "Garni" — but everyone agrees on one thing: it’s the sandwich that never lets you down.

Yet, nothing is sadder than a soggy Club with a wilted lettuce leaf and a pale slice of tomato. At Tartineke Wavre, we treat this classic with all the respect it deserves. It’s our bestseller, and here’s why.

The Art of the Layer: A Balance of Flavors

A good Club is all about architecture. Every bite must offer the perfect blend of textures. Our secret lies in the assembly:

  • The Crunch: We use fresh lettuce, washed and spun that very morning so it stays perfectly crisp.
  • The Freshness: Juicy tomato slices and cucumbers (seasonal) to provide moisture and lightness.
  • The Indulgence: A hard-boiled egg, cooked to perfection, binding the ham and cheese (quality Gouda or Emmental) with a touch of creamy mayonnaise.

A Complete Meal in a Baguette

The reason the Club is the lunch break favorite in Louvain-la-Neuve and Wavre is that it is perfectly balanced. You get your proteins, dairy, vegetables, and carbs all in one product.

It’s the ideal choice for those who want to eat healthily without feeling deprived. Unlike sandwiches loaded with heavy sauces, the Club lets the taste of the raw ingredients shine through.

White or Brown Bread? The Choice is Yours

The foundation of any great sandwich is the bread. For your Club, we recommend our traditional stone-baked baguette for maximum crunch, or our brown bread for a more rustic, fiber-rich option.

A light snack or a big appetite?

This sandwich is available as a half-baguette for smaller appetites (or to pair with a soup!) or in a full-size version for those busy days.

Order your Club now and rediscover the taste of a true loaded sandwich!
