Un Bien
A family-run spot in Ballard whose signature Caribbean Roast sandwich is widely hailed as one of the best in Seattle.
Opened in 2015 by the two sons of the founder of the legendary sandwich shop Paseo, Un Bien serves up massive, messy, and incredibly juicy sandwiches. The signature Caribbean Roast features slow-roasted pork shoulder, crisp romaine, pickled jalapeños, caramelized onions, and cilantro aioli on a toasted Macrina baguette. Located on 15th Avenue NW, it has earned a spot on Eater Seattle's 38 Essential Restaurants list. Sandwiches can sell out in the evening—some diners have encountered sold-out signs by 20:00 on Saturdays. Sandwiches start at around $14.
