Sandwiches Soups Salads

Review Summary

Restaurant Le St-Raphaël is described as a friendly and welcoming spot with a smiling staff, a good variety of food, and excellent sandwiches with the smoked meat singled out as a standout. The place is considered a hidden gem for lunches, and a reviewer who was working at the hospital for a few days found the sandwiches and salads incredible and highly recommended it. Everything is usually excellent, though one note mentions turmeric spilled into the cauliflower soup, which masks the flavor. The overall impression is very positive and the place is worth the detour.View restaurant profile
