La Cena Épicerie Traiteur is widely praised for its high quality Italian fare and a superb focaccia sandwich lineup, along with an impressive selection of imported products. Many reviews describe the sandwiches as the best, with large portions that are easy to share, and note memorable creations like pecorino cream and pesto combinations. The epicerie offers excellent charcuterie, desserts, salads, and other Italian specialties, creating a small luxury grocery atmosphere. Yet some critics mention inconsistencies in bread texture, occasional dryness of focaccia, and variability in service, with notes that timing and staff attentiveness can vary. Price and checkout clarity are also cited, especially after the recent expansion, with a few items and experiences not meeting expectations. Overall, La Cena is regarded as a standout destination in the Laurentians for Italian groceries and sandwiches, often described as worth a detour and a place to savor thoughtfully prepared ingredients.View restaurant profile
