The most delicious sandwiches I've had in my life!!! So generously portioned. Loved the Duluth & the Avenue du Parc, & how many vegetarian options there were. The back garden is such a beautiful oasis! We came for a late lunch & there was still at least a 20 minute wait, but it was well worth it! The shop at the front has the cutest merch, including tote bags. Our server was very kind!

Good sandwich & a beautiful outdoor eating area. The line on the weekends can get a bit long, but overall it is a great spot!

TLDR: It's not what it once was. Service is now abominable!

A customer since 1989, we've never been treated so badly as our latest visit on Aug 12 2026. It wasn't busy, & lovely garden tables were available, but they jammed us into a busy corner anyway. Several tables who ordered long after us got their food first. We were seated around 7pm & our 2 simple sandwiches didn't arrive until maybe 7:50pm? No table check whatsoever. I had mentioned upfront I was looking forward to dessert, but they left us languishing until 8:30. Closing time. We could have just left without paying -- I honestly don't think anyone would have noticed or cared.

I can't figure out what we could have possibly said or done to upset the staff so much that they would seemingly go out of their way to ruin the first night of our vacation & a lifelong favourite destination filled with great memories. Gone.

Santropol's long been near the top of my what-to-do-in-Mtl recommendations, but those days are now done.

It's like an old friend has died. I'm angry.

Amazing place honestly. Don't be fooled by the outside or the 20$ sandwiches.

This place practices a style of restaurant cafe. You'll be seated & have a waiter serve you. The drinks are quite good. & yes, the price of a sandwich may seem a little high, but they're pretty big & made with high quality ingredients.

The biggest thing about here, is the atmosphere & service. It's a great place to feel like you've escaped the city. I highly recommend visiting this place.

The backyard patio is so lush & a perfect place to have lunch in the summer. I love all their vegan options, especially the tofu salad. I wish they had sourdough bread as I unfortunately didn't like the thick dark bread that came with the sandwiches. The wait for a table can also be quite long!

One of the most flavourful vegetarian sandwich I have had. They are definitely known for it. I also had their feta & sun-dried tomato scones, which was heavenly. I forgot to take a picture of it unfortunately.
There was a lineup when I went after lunch time. Worth it though.

Ce café a une très belle atmosphère. Tout est vraiment mignon. La nourriture est bonne, sans être vraiment élaborée. Les sandwichs sont assez bon. Sur les photos, le pain a l'air très lourd, mais il est en réalité plutôt léger donc ça se mange bien.
