The Remy — Ratatouille-Inspired, Fully Vegan, Completely Satisfying
Baked eggplant cutlets, roasted red peppers, marinated tomatoes, caramelized onions, toasted cannellini spread, house-pickled zucchini, and house-infused basil oil on house-baked semolina bread.
The Remy exists because we don't believe vegan should mean settling. Named for our favorite tiny chef that proved great cooking is about vision, not convention — this is a ratatouille-inspired sandwich built with the same care and craft as everything else on our menu. Baked eggplant cutlets layered with roasted red peppers, marinated tomatoes, slowly caramelized onions, toasted cannellini spread, house-pickled zucchini, and a finish of house-infused basil oil. All on semolina bread we bake in-house and cold-proof for 24+ hours. It's fully vegan, and it eats like a complete meal from start to finish.
Every layer builds the flavor, with the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. The baked eggplant cutlets bring meaty, savory substance. The toasted cannellini spread adds creamy body and earthy richness. Roasted red peppers bring sweetness, caramelized onions deepen it, marinated tomatoes add brightness, and the house-pickled zucchini delivers tangy crunch. Basil oil ties it all together with aromatic warmth. It's the kind of sandwich where non-vegans order it, love it, and forget it was vegan in the first place. That's healthyish at its best, as The Remy is one of our more popular sandwiches because of what it does have (more than what it doesn’t have).
Whether you're fully plant-based, looking to eat lighter near Central Park or Gramercy, or you just want a deliciously flavorful veggie-packed sandwich — The Remy is the one. Order online for pickup or delivery at getsandwell.com/order.
“I am overjoyed to have a vegan-friendly sandwich spot in the neighborhood! I feel like there are not a ton of fast casual vegan-friendly spots nearby, so this is a fabulous addition. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and they have a fire playlist every time I've come in. Needless to say I've been here three times and will be a regular for the foreseeable future. I also love that they have a vegan sandwich on the menu (The Remy) that's labeled. I don't have to substitute anything and hope they get it right, it's 100% vegan and 1000% filling. We love stress-free ordering! If you are vegan and want to try the spot, I highly recommend it! The sandwich is packed with roasted red peppers, baked eggplant cutlet, caramelized onions, cherry tomatoes, housemade zucchini pickles, basil oil, spinach, and a yummy toasted cannellini spread. I hope they add more vegan options or ways to veganize the other sandwiches so I can't get sick of the Remy!” - Katie B
“I ordered the only two vegan options they had; a hero (The Remy) and salad (Truffled Mushroom). The ingredients, including the bread and salad dressing, were fresh and sooo good. I will definitely be back soon and order the same. Great addition to the neighborhood.” - Arleen G

"I’ve gotten the vegan (Remy) sandwich from Sandwell three times, and on each occasion it was really good. (And a friend I was with raved about his sandwich.) They have a great touch and manage to get a lot in there — from roasted veggies to a cannellini spread. And after being laid out on freshly made bread of your choice, the sandwich is put through a slow conveyor belt pizza oven which gives it a nice toasty warmth...The sandwich is such a basic thing, you might think it’s easy to do, but to do it really well takes some skill and imagination, and Sandwell excels at both!" - Danny K.
