Café Santropol est largement reconnu comme une institution montréalaise charmante et pleine d'atmosphère, célébrée principalement pour sa terrasse arrière verdoyante semblable à un jardin et son intérieur éclectique. De nombreux clients louent la générosité de ses sandwichs végétariens emblématiques, soulignant souvent la fraîcheur du pain maison et la belle variété d'options végétaliennes. Bien que l'ambiance soit fréquemment décrite comme magique et chaleureuse, idéale pour des rencontres décontractées ou pour se détendre, les expériences des visiteurs concernant le service et les temps d'attente peuvent varier. Certains clients apprécient un service attentionné, tandis que d'autres ont relevé des épisodes de désorganisation ou de longs délais durant les périodes de pointe. Malgré des avis parfois mitigés sur le service ou le rapport qualité-prix, l'endroit demeure une adresse locale incontournable où beaucoup reviennent pour son atmosphère unique et apaisante.
Food was spot on & atmosphere was on point. The service just wasn't. Not having been here before I had no clue what to do upon arriving. When my friend asked for a table of two, the girl at the front replied "Are you first in line?" Excuse me? How am I supposed to know that you have to wait in a line? That's not common for a restaurant, normally names are taken. & why am I track if I'm first in line? So we had to ask everyone where they were in the lineup. So strange...... The waitress never followed up after we received our meal. Only took our order & took our plates away. We're supposed to tip for that? These sandwiches are huge & they are messy, I had to use one single napkin the entire time because the waitress did not follow up. Honestly, probably won't come back.
If you find yourself in Montreal, make sure to pop into Café Santropol-it's an absolute treasure! From the moment you walk through the door, the friendly staff greet you like an old friend, making you feel right at home. Their warmth & attentiveness truly elevate your dining experience! I indulged in the Duluth Sandwich, packed with caramelized onions, cheddar, & sweet pears-it was a flavor party in my mouth! & don't even get me started on the Gâteau au chocolat trois étages; it's a rich, chocolatey delight that's simply irresistible. The charming outdoor terrace is perfect for soaking up the sun while enjoying your meal. Just a fun heads-up: tipping is mandatory here, but trust me, those amazing staff members absolutely deserve it for their stellar service! In short, Café Santropol is a cozy gem that combines fantastic food with top-notch hospitality. You'll definitely want to come back for more!
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 looks cozy, there is a colorful backyard with cute little elements put together, nothing authentic but still cute. We had 2 sandwiches, Olympic 76, & triplex something, really bad Sadwiches, & I mean BAD (tastes bad, too much runny sauce, everything falls off the sandwich, & worst of all just one type of stale bread for all) & quite expensive for the portion & quality. Service was ok, but remember you are not allowed to use your laptop in the Terrrase area, because the owner has said so! I asked one of the waiters & she said people using laptops tend to stay longer which makes sense but why not saying you can't stay more than 60 min or whatever instead of saying you are not allowed to open your laptop here? That doesn't seem reasonable or friendly specially for a casual coffeshop. But later the waiter found us a table inside with cable which was nice. We also tried the classic cheese cake, too sweet & average. Overal won't be going back & mainly because of food.
Quel beau bistro! L'ambiance est celle des cafés du Plateau de la fin du 20e siècle (avant la gentrification & la "starbuckisation" massives), ces cafés originaux qui avaient une déco éclectique & un esprit bohème. & la terrasse pleine de plantes & d'arbres est tout simplement féérique, surtout en soirée quand les guirlandes de lumières sont allumées. Aussi, leur cappuccino est vraiment excellent!
Fabulous sandwiches & soups The Triplex is a great combination of tastes... Only blah thing.... No coordination with kitchen../ Got the Sandwich before the soup....-& ordered 2 coffee's & dessert .... We finished dessert almost before getting the coffee Not your common resto ettiquette Staff was amazing & so on, just needs little tweeks... But an outstanding place to come & enjoy 12 months a year , always fresh & healthy combo's..
