Amazing experience! Food was delicious! Our server was more than helpful, even guiding us on how to make the breads themselves. I cannot say enough good things about it! Gluten free to top it off & our sever helped me choose options that didn't have dairy. My teenager announced it was one of his two favourite restaurants... High praise! Would definitely recommend.

Should try the sandwiches. Very flavourful (sweet & sour). I tried guava & Lole but the Lole is a must try.
Also the prices are very good, drinks plus sandwiches with tip less than 25$

when i say my sister came back here TWICE in one day, im being completely serious! food was so comforting & well portioned for the price. Inside, the staff is very friendly & the service was great. Food was also very quick! The bun was perfect & very generously stuffed. All came with a side salad which was refreshing (don't know the sauce that went on it but it was so good!). We absolutely love this place & it's definitely worth checking out!

They no longer have those beautiful paintings. The new owner should decorate a bit. The music could be a bit better, reggaeton & autotune

Un de nos restaurants préférés à Montréal. J'adore faire découvrir le restaurant à de nouvelles personnes. Tout les plats sont savoureux. Nous avons vraiment apprécié le spécial 2/1 sur les consommations d'alcool, c'est une promotion qui revient à l'occasion. Ne changez jamais la recette de la sauce verte, c'est un pur délice!

Super petit endroit pour les gens qui ont des intolérances ou des allergies au gluten. Tout est savoureux & à un prix acceptable. Le personnel est courtois mais ne tolère aucun aliment contenant du gluten (mettons que vous venez avec votre bébé pis qu'il mange déjà quelque chose).
