Italians, Senegalese, French, Iranians, Cubans, Algerians, Bolivians, all true, hard-core Montrealers will tell you that coffee here is excellent,a thousand times better than Starbucks, not a drop of pretentiousness & often a discrete elegance that only time & tradition can create. Their prosciutto & fromage sandwich, with all its marinated vegetables will make you feel that you are Sophia Loren or Marcelo Mastroianni in a secret visit to Montreal.
