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.

Worth the wait! Primarily vegetarian &/or vegan menu, with options to add meat & dairy to some dishes. Huge sandwiches on fresh pillowy bread & hearty soups (ask about the soup of the day!) Charming & cozy atmosphere with expansive & secluded patio & curated decor. Will be back next time I'm in Montreal!

✅The place is beautiful, especially the garden, which is not something you often see in Montreal. ⚠️It's not really a spot to work. They don't have Wi-Fi, so it's not ideal if you're planning to get some work done. You can bring your laptop, but you're only allowed to use it inside, not in the garden. ❌The space didn't feel as cozy as I hoped, even though the fish & the sound of the water are somewhat relaxing. ✅They offer vegan options, which is nice, but I'm not sure if I would come back just for that. ❌I changed table because I felt so close to the others couples that I can hear the conversations & that made me felt uncomfortable. I think it's just about to improve the distribution.

Le Café Santropol est un véritable petit bijou près de la région de Palatine. Ce café cosy & original charme dès l'entrée avec son ambiance chaleureuse & son décor unique. L'extérieur, avec un étang & un petit jardin, offre un cadre paisible & agréable, idéal pour se détendre loin de l'agitation de la ville. Le menu propose une belle variété de plats, avec de nombreuses options végétariennes, ce qui en fait un excellent choix pour un déjeuner sain & savoureux. Que ce soit pour un café entre amis ou un repas léger, le Santropol est l'endroit parfait pour se ressourcer dans une atmosphère conviviale & accueillante.
