I went there for breakfast .. probably got there around 9.. I don't usually go out for breakfast though but because of timing & whatever here I was.. starving! So I hd the combo of breakfast sandwich veg with bacon, « hash browns » & traded a coffee for a fresh squeezed orange juice. It was AMAZING!! I may become a breakfast person someday based on how delicious that sandwich was! & the hash brown was a beautiful potatoe galette with just the right touch of sea salt! Fabulous.. service was lovely & the music was great too. Highly recommend. Actually I'm going to go back for lunch soon because that Reuben is calling my name!!

BUDDY I liked this place, I liked it a lot. I'm not a Montreal local, so don't freaking come for me if you don't agree, but the smoked meat sandwich here might be the best I've had. Man look at that goddamn cross section. Destroyed this thing at like 9:30am mind you

Service was fast & good, they even pronounced my name right first try. Just some great folks here & delicious food, next time I'm back id love to try some breakfast food at 3 in the afternoon.

Super chill staff & the food is amazing

The reuben sandwich is to die for 🤤 It has medium fat meat, melted cheese & choucroute.

The brisket is not bad but the Reuben really stole the show & i'll be back for more. Their fries are very good as well. I'll be back for more & I will have to try their poutine as both the meat & the fries are amazing!

I recommend this spot. They also have breakfast items which I did not get a chance to try but seemed very good from what I saw in people's plates.

This is where you go when you want something quick without settling for something forgettable. It works just as well for breakfast as it does for a midday stop, thoughtfully made rather than rushed.

Everything we tried was filling, well-priced, & clearly handled with care. The brisket sandwich-tender, juicy, & balanced, with nothing overpowering the meat. The breakfast sandwich with sausage was just as impressive, easily one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had so far, satisfying without being heavy.

After this visit, it's hard not to want to come back & work through the rest of it-because if these sandwiches are any indication, the rest is worth the time.

10/10 my sister & I love coming to the market & excited they added this place. We seen Aylwin's on instagram & we knew we had to try & they did not disappoint. Service 10/10, atmosphere 10/10 super clean & inviting. We order the Reuben combo which came with fries, slaw & a pickle. We also got their homemade fruit punch which was sooooo delicious & a kombucha drink. We already went back today & ordered take out (breakfast sandwich & a hot dog)
