Parma Café - Un sandwich déjeuner qui fait le boulot, mais qui pourrait mieux faire

Ce matin, j'ai testé le sandwich déjeuner du Parma Café. Servi sur une tranche de ciabatta, l'ensemble est plutôt généreux : oeufs, jambon, fromage, tomates & roquette. À 6,50 $, c'est abordable & ça cale.

Côté texture, le pain mériterait d'être plus toasté. Là, il reste un peu farineux & mou, ce qui gâche un peu l'expérience. En pliant la tartine en deux, on obtient une sorte de demi-sandwich qui se tient mieux en main, mais on sent que la formule pourrait être mieux pensée.

Côté goût, ça manque de relief. Le fromage domine, au détriment des autres ingrédients. Les tomates ne sont pas assaisonnées, la roquette apporte une fraîcheur bienvenue, mais elle aussi reste neutre. L'équilibre entre le jambon & l'oeuf peine à se faire, notamment à cause d'un gras mal réparti.

Il manque un vrai marqueur de goût pour lier l'ensemble : une touche de moutarde, un filet d'huile d'olive, quelques oignons nouveaux ou simplement un bon assaisonnement auraient pu faire toute la différence.

Bref, c'est correct, ça dépanne, mais ça ne laisse pas de souvenir. À ce prix, on ne demande pas la lune, mais un peu plus d'attention à l'équilibre des saveurs ferait toute la différence. Un sandwich qui a du potentiel, mais qui mérite d'être retravaillé pour vraiment convaincre.
