- “Un Bien is hands down one of my favorite food stops in Seattle… [The] Caribbean Roast Sandwich is THE sandwich people talk about. Slow-roasted pork so tender it practically melts, caramelized onions, jalapeños for a little kick, crispy romaine, and a dreamy garlic aioli all packed into the perfect baguette. You WILL make a mess eating this and you will not care. Worth every napkin.” -Sagarika G.
