Good vibes, nourriture délicieuse & prix plus que raisonnable. J'ai choisi le sandwich au boeuf & on m'a offert une délicieuse limonade hibiscus/menthe les deux étaient 🤯.
L'homme qui m'a servi & gracieusement offert la boisson a été très gentil. Options végétariennes qui ont l'air très bonnes aussi.
Everything was immaculate from the decor to the food. The owner is so incredibly kind & generous! The food was amazing & priced very reasonably. This restaurant overall felt like a warm hug, I recommend to absolutely everyone.
So good! The owner was so kind & friendly. I love that they have vegan options that are interesting. I had the vegan sandwich which had a bean filling. The drinks are so good too. I just wish they were open for dinner!
Wow! La nourriture est toujours super bonne, plusieurs options véganes. Les portions sont généreuses & les prix assez bas. Le pain est fait maison & c'est l'un des meilleurs que j'ai jamais mangé! Il est toujours servi frais & chaud, il est moelleux, mais l'extérieur est un peu croustillant. Le service est très chaleureux. On nous a offert la première fois des glaces au baobab à la fin de notre repas. Une autre fois, je suis arrivée 30 minutes après la fermeture & on m'a vu essayer d'entrer. On est venu m'ouvrir & on m'a préparé le sandwich que je voulais, tout en m'apportant un jus d'hibiscus pour patienter!! Ça parait que les proprios ont à coeur les gens de leur communauté. J'adore cet endroit :)
Balbastik - Fresh West African Flavors & Warm Hospitality
I had the pleasure of visiting Balbastik yesterday, & it was a memorable experience from start to finish.
Balbastik is owned by a kind & passionate man from Mauritania, & you can feel the love & care he pours into every detail-his culture & music are truly at the heart of it all. The bread is made fresh in-house, & it makes all the difference-especially in their Spicy Beef Meatball Sandwich, which quickly became my favorite. The meatballs were flavorful & satisfying, with just the right amount of heat. The sauce, made with eggplant, tomatoes, & onions, had a beautiful balance of savory & sweet, thanks to a light drizzle of honey that tied it all together.
To sip alongside everything, I had their housemade juice with orange, mint, hibiscus, & lemon-it tasted like sunshine in a glass. I also couldn't resist trying their homemade baobab popsicle, a refreshing & unique treat, perfect for a hot day. & to finish? A classic mint tea-sweet, aromatic, & the perfect comforting end to the meal.
Beyond the food, the décor is warm & inviting, transporting you straight to Mauritania. Traditional music fills the space, creating a calming atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer.
Everything at Balbastik is made with heart, & it shines through in every bite. Whether you're stopping in for a quick meal or settling in for a cozy visit, it's a place that welcomes you with open arms & leaves you feeling nourished in every way.
✨ I spotlight my favorite local gems on TikTok @foxy.appetite & IG @foxyappetite-& Balbastik is officially on my list.
I was invited to visit as part of a collaboration-sharing my genuine experience above.
This place has great decor, great service & great food. We had a bomb shakshuka with sweet mint tea, & I'll be returning to try the sandwiches one day. I recommend it to all my friends visiting the area & to you, dear Google reviews reader.
I often can't resist stopping in for a chicken sandwich when I'm out doing errands. The friendly atmosphere, affordable price & delicious flavours keep me coming back & quickly turned this new restaurant into a neighborhood institution - can't wait for more Balbastik popsicles this summer!

My friends love coming here for the chicken meatball sandwich, but I come for the bean crêpes. They are naturally gluten free as the batter is made from fermented black eye peas. You can ask for them sweet with honey & date syrup or savoury with any of the sandwich fillings as a topping. The veggie'meatballs' are delicious, incredibly well seasoned & also gf.
Wow! Quelle bonne idée est-ce que nous avons eu d'aller essayer leurs sandwiches. L'extérieur ne payait pas de mine mais nous étions intrigués. La musique, l'atmosphère mais surtout la gentillesse & la politesse du proprio & de la serveuse.
Faut évidemment mentionner la qualité, les saveurs & bon goût des sandwichs. Nous avons essayer une au poulet, l'autre au boeuf…
Nous reviendrons pour essayer le brunch!!!
Montréal est une ville fantastique qui accueille des gens incroyables…
Ah oui, vous devez essayer le frappé au fruits du Baobab.
Merci & à bientôt
This place is simply wonderful. The service is kind & warm, the food looks, smells, & tastes unreal, & the decorations are so charming! Perhaps the best sandwich in Montreal? We got a chicken sandwich & the brunch shakshouka & it really hit the spot. Highly recommend!
