I have been going to Santropol since they opened many years ago. Yesterday I was there for an early dinner & was looking forward to having my usual. A tuna sandwich with salad. I was horrified to find out that the sandwich options were chicken salad & ham. The country bread is always cut super thick & it is heavy with sharp crusty edges. When there is something soft like tuna inside it is easier to keep together. I ordered the chicken salad which was vile! Imagine canned chicken consistency - thick pieces & dry with barely any mayo. Not chicken salad. The bread was 1.5 inches thick & the heavy meat chunks fell out with the salad & tomato. This led to a disgusting experience of everything falling all over me as I was trying to eat it. The only other non meat choices on the menu are vegan. I also ordered the Carrot/Orange soup & it was thick pieces in watery broth which was not what I was expecting at all.
I am a foodie & eat in restaurants on a regular basis. What chef prepared this meal?
I am embarrassed to say that I wore the sandwich.

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.

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 lol

J'ai vraiment adoré ce café. Le petit jardin à l'arrière est magnifique. Le sandwich au poulet & le gâteau au fromage étaient délicieux !! Je recommande cet endroit si tu veux un endroit relax avec des options santé pour manger. L'attention est agréable.
