The best sandwich you will ever have in your life. The triple-decker. Soups amazing too.

A cloud & a hug have a baby. That is what their bread is reminiscent of. We had the Duluth & the killer tomato & both were really great. The staff were super friendly & they mentioned that they have a relationship with a local bakery to make their bread & baked goods. They provide the recipes, the bakery makes it happen. I loved that. We also got a lentil & fennel soup, an incredible chocolate & rosemary cookie & a chocolate lava cake for the gluten free folk in our crew. We will be back.

Macaroni & fauxmage ultra sec, la soupe au pois goûtait uniquement le thym, la serveuse a renversé de notre boisson sur la table & a juste dit « désolé » sans revenir pour essuyer.

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.

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile. Its a vibe! I'm not vegan but the food was so good & comforting. I puedes a chai, which is housemade & so good. I also had the split pea soup which was good. The space is very cozy. I can highly recommend.

Beautiful serene patio, semi boho decor, chic & elegant interiors. Classy place but staffed by soulless youngsters who need intensive coaching or happiness or another job. The welcoming server was cold, unhappy to be there & uninterested. Forget to take my order & then forgot what my order was & no apology or no warmth.- what a joke. Gave my seat to another person when l went to order inside after waiting 10 mins aimlessly in the patio. My main server just took my order & gave the food & disappeared. Was glad to speak to the smart Supervisor who said she will coach her staff. The servers here are unhappy & cold. Sometimes you might have a medicore restaurant but a very good service team, that could elevate your experience overall. Here the ambiance & the service are not in sync. The food was good. The soup was delicious, the salad was not bad, tofu was well seasoned, lots of veggies & the tea Santropol was the highlight of my visit - 6/5. The chili was average. I would easily give it 4/5 for good service & 5/5 for exceptional service but will try it once more before writing off completely if time permits.

Very lovely café, I love coming here to catch up with friends. I always end up taking the Soup du Jour, & I have not been disappointed yet. The drinks prices are very standard for a café in Montréal.
What I prefer the most is the ambiance of the place. The staff is always friendly, the decor is very artsy & cozy, & the backyard adds another touch of nature that ties the whole together. I always come back around the sunset as the light is beautiful then.
Will always recommend!

Went there at noon for our first visit.
We went on the terrace even though it was a little cold
We had soup & bread which was delicious
Each had a large sandwich with a very small salad which was also delicious
For dessert I had a carrot cake which is so good that after our after lunch walk I went back in to buy a piece to bring home
Cookies are also excellent
Service was top notch
A bit pricy
Atmosphere is like a ln eclectic dream
Very relaxed
Would definitely recommend
Tks to Clara for her excellent service

Le Café Santropol est un vrai petit bijou! Leur jardin est magnifique: une véritable oasis en plein coeur de la ville qui rend l'expérience unique. L'atmosphère, autant à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur, est chaleureuse & pleine de charme. J'ai goûté à la soupe de lentilles au cari & chou kale, & même si je ne suis pas fan des plats « végé », je l'ai vraiment appréciée. Un endroit parfait pour bien manger & se détendre.
