Café Milano

I live in Laval & have a Milano's on Curé-Labelle near me. Although I had heard many good things about it, I had never actually tried it. This weekend, while I was in Saint-Léonard for a pickup, I noticed there was a Milano's nearby, so I figured it was the perfect opportunity to see what all the hype was about.

I'm a sandwich guy-or, as they say SanGwich . I've had great sandwiches from well-known places throughout Montreal, Laval, & especially Rome, where there are some fantastic sandwich shops. If you're interested, check out some of my other reviews.

I was pleased with my experience here. Everything tasted fresh, from the bread to the ingredients. Service was quick, & while the restaurant wasn't packed, it had a healthy crowd for a Saturday around 1:00 p.m., which is usually a good sign.

I ordered the 7-inch Milano Special, which was good. The bread wasn't toasted, but it was extremely fresh, & you could really taste both the steak & the vegetables. That said, my wife ordered the steak sub, & we both agreed that it was actually the better sandwich of the two.

We paired our meal with a Brio & finished with a cannoli for dessert. The total came to about $35, which we felt was money well spent.

Overall, this is a great place to grab a sandwich if you appreciate fresh ingredients & quality bread. After trying the original Saint-Léonard location, I'm definitely looking forward to visiting the Laval location as well.

Salads & sandwiches are on the expensive side for what you get, & the coffee was quite bitter.

The highlight was definitely the cannolis. Fresh, flavorful, & easily the best part of the visit. Honestly, that's the only reason I'd go back.

Its been nearly 15-20 years since I used to frequent Milano's. It used to be much smaller & run down. Kind of a greasy spoon type of place that made the best sandwiches & salads. Its a lot different now. Its been redone, doubled in size & has a modern cafe bistro vibe. I ordered the 7' chicken cutlet sandwich. The smaller chicken salad, an aranciata & cappucino. The bill with tip was $40. The sandwich was good, but small. The chicken cutlet & toppings much thinner than I remember. The salad also okay. The chicken a bit dry & the dressing not as good as I remember. It needed also salt, which was not provided on the tables. Everything tasted fresh. The coffee was amazing. I should have asked for chocolate on top of my cap. Very clean inside the resto but the bathroom was not. All in all, I enjoyed my meal. It was a blast from the past with a bit of nostalgia mixed with some disappointments.

Café Milano's is such a gem! This charming Italian café has the best subs ever-I've been coming here for years, & they never disappoint. I always tell my friends about it because everyone needs to try it at least once! This place is extra special to me because it's where my boyfriend & I had our first date. Since then, it's become my go-to spot, & I'm always excited to come back. The food is fresh & delicious, the atmosphere is warm & inviting, & the staff are so friendly. If you're looking for amazing Italian subs & a cozy spot to enjoy them, Café Milano's is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Best place for a quick coffee grab or if you want to sit with your friends. Best thing that they have an extra seats available outdoor in summer so you can work on your computers or have a fresh tuna sandwich.
