I found my new favorite magical place in Montreal!
I saw their ad on Instagram & had to check it out.
It teleported me to a gem I love on Costa Rica, so for me, it was quote special.
There are several different areas to sit, each with its own style & ambiance. I sat in the garden in the back. The coy fish pond was a particularly magical addition to the place.
The food was great. I had Borscht soup. Brought me back to my childhood when my dad used to make this soup often.
Reasonably priced, too.
Will 100% come back ! Thank you for making the IG ad !

This spot is absolutely adorable! 10/10 for atmosphere. I saw their cute little backyard eating area last year, & ever since I was adamant on visiting this Cafe. Just be aware that this Cafe is tailored for a vegetarian/vegan audience. I was unaware of this going in, so I was a bit disappointed when my BLT arrived with coconut bacon (didn't know that was a thing). But it was still quite delicious. If you like vegan alternatives & want the cutest little outdoor Cafe you've ever seen, grab your favourite book or your favourite friend & head on down to Cafe Santropol.
P.S, Their sandwhich bread is amazingView more

This place is beautiful, especially the backyard in the summer! I would say the food is good, especially their vegan cakes. The chai latte is also very good.View more

Tout simplement magnifique! L'atmosphère de la terrasse est superbe, paisible & lumineuse. Les sandwiches sont frais & super bons. Le Duluth & le Triplex sont wow! La salade mexicaine est énorme. Bref, une belle découverte.
& en plus il y a une geocache ici, ce qui a rajouter à mon bonheur :)View more

My 🎂birthday was last Thursday, June 🌟5th. The weather was beautiful, a great day to enjoy the wonderfully funky garden at Café Santropol.
Of course, I had to tell our waiter that it was my 🎉 birthday! The ambiance is so friendly & festive (freylech).
Santropol has been open for approximately 50 years & I have been a customer for almost that long. I enjoyed the walk down memory lane.
The original founder of the restaurant still owns it, which is very cool.
For the first time ever, I did not order a cream cheese based sandwich (which I really like). Instead, I opted for
the tofu sandwich with marinated red pepper- delicious! My honey enjoyed the chicken salad.
My side salad & his full salad showcased a variety of vegetables & a tasty dressing.
The Birthday Cake (bread pudding) was a terrific surprise!!!!!
The wait staff were efficient, friendly, adorable & helpful.
We struck up a conversation with a nearby diner, a lovely samba dancer- & will try at attend upcoming performances!
Who knows? I may make lunch at Café Santropol a yearly birthday tradition!
However, I will surely be back before next June…
Someone at a nearby table had ordered a milkshake topped with whipped cream- it really looked tempting.😊
La prochaine fois?View more

This place is so unique. Just a chill, relaxing vibe & the carrot cake (recommended by my chiropractor lol) was amazing. Staff were all great, friendly & conversational too.View more

Un havre de paix gourmand au coeur de la ville
Le Café Santropol est une véritable oasis urbaine. Son jardin verdoyant & foisonnant d'objets anciens & d'oeuvres éclectiques en fait un lieu unique où l'on peut se détendre, s'émerveiller… & bien manger ! Les portions sont généreuses, surtout les sandwichs - tellement copieux qu'ils se partagent facilement à deux, ce qui en fait une option parfaite pour les familles avec enfants. Ces derniers y trouvent d'ailleurs un équilibre rare : la stimulation douce de l'exploration du jardin combinée à une atmosphère calme.
C'est aussi mon arrêt préféré après une randonnée au Mont-Royal. Rien de tel qu'une pause relaxante dans ce décor bohème pour savourer l'effort.
💬 Petit bémol : l'endroit gagnerait à être un peu mieux entretenu. Certaines tables sont collantes (le vernis s'effrite), la peinture est défraîchie, & les toilettes auraient besoin d'un rafraîchissement. Cela dit, ces détails n'enlèvent rien au charme général du lieu - un café hors du temps qui vaut le détour.View more

This cafe is an experience. I'm he sandwiches are fulfilling & the beverages are on point. Reasonable quantity & price.
I'd definitely visit again to try something new but I'm more into the place & how it's designed. Loved it !View more

Atmosphere is great! Reminds me of LA ! Made me super nostalgic... love that they had vegan & vegetarian options.
Salad was nice. Sandwhich was good mostly cuz I was starving. Id go back to try the vegan mac n cheese! Definitely curious. I wouldnt buy the sandwhich again like it was okay. Salad would take again tho.
Vibe was great. Restroom was horrible lolView more

I've recommended this place to many people in the past because the service & food used to be excellent. Unfortunately, my recent experience was quite disappointing. When a server showed us to a table, we noticed another empty one with a better view & chose to sit there instead. When she returned, she said,'I thought I said this table,' with a noticeably rude attitude. While we may have made a mistake by switching tables, it could have been handled more politely.
Later, the waiter who took our order brought me a dirty glass. I asked for a replacement, but instead of addressing it, he continued serving other tables & ignored us. When I followed up again, he responded with a dismissive'yeah' without even looking at us. This kind of treatment is not what I expect as a customer, especially from a place I used to admire!
Not to mention, it took quite a while for someone to take our order - even though we arrived before the group next to us, they were served first. We eventually had to flag someone down just to place our order.
Food was still good & had good quality but service disappointed me!View more

Amazing sandwiches & a beautiful garden setting, a must visit in Mile End!View more

Service was so bad. We were in line for 10 minutes, no big deal. It was then just over an hour by the time food actually arrived. Servers were clearly not managing tables (groups behind us ordered & were served well before us). Pretty sure it was over 30 minutes before our order was even taken.View more

Food wasn't more than tolerable, except for the soup which was great. Service was untrained. Overall needs to tighten up in many areas.View more
