We went here & my friend had terrible food poisoning & the food was meh for the price, the fries were burnt & dry. I like at the service though.

C'est avec la peine dans le coeur & le désespoir ailleurs que je dois avouer que les frites ont été cuites & recuites - le poulet pop-corn (attention a vos dents) burger de poulet = rondelle de hockey dans un pain qui tombe en morceaux. A bon entendeur salut !

This place is a real local gem! The fried chicken sandwich is a true classic. But honestly, pretty much everything they have on the menu is superb. We need more of these places that combine high end pub food with an amazing selection of Natural Wines/Sake!

My favourite of the meal was definitely the appetizer with mussels & hummus. It was perfectly charred & flavoured. You could use bread to scoop up the hummus.

The fried chicken appetizer was also good. I loved that it came with pickled cucumbers.

I also liked the pasta, which was very acidic. It has a nice kick, but really need a drink to balance it out.

However, the other dishes were disappointing, especially the chicken sandwich; the breading was soggy inside & very hard on the outside.

Let me start by saying that I really wanted to love this place; I had only heard great things about Mitch Deli.
To start with the positives: the space is cute, nicely decorated, has a great overall vibe, & blends perfectly with the neighborhood. Our waiter was also incredibly sweet. The three hushpuppies ($8) were light, fluffy, & accompanied by a beautifully balanced coriander-lime sauce. They also offer a very tasty canned passionfruit kombucha ($5).
The rest of the experience, unfortunately, was well below'meh.'
It took forever to get our food. I assumed the delay was due to a slow kitchen, especially since there were two waiters servicing a not-too-busy dining room. However, when the food finally arrived, it was cold. I'm still not sure if it just sat on the counter losing heat before being served.
The pieces of popcorn chicken ($13) were tiny & seemed like the leftover scraps from carving chicken for their sandwiches. They were coated in a cold, thick, hardened, & completely non-crispy fried batter (though the cucumber salad underneath was actually good).
Their iconic fried chicken sandwich ($17) was the only well-portioned dish. However, apart from its decent, even generous size, it shared all the flaws of the popcorn chicken: a cold, thick, hardened batter. The brioche bun was just okay, & the entire sandwich lacked seasoning & flavor definition. The fries ($8) were also a letdown: cold & soggy, yet somehow overcooked & almost burnt.
The dish I found flat-out bad was the beef brochette ($26). Not only was the portion tiny, but the meat actively tasted off. It had a strong, unpleasant funk that shouldn't be there-& I love beef in every form, whether it's tartare, braised, or stewed. The accompanying potatoes were tasteless & slightly undercooked. The only positive quality of the dish was its beautiful presentation.
One might think a restaurant's quality slips when the owner or head chef gets too busy with other projects & neglects their original flagship. However, in this case, Maxime Gagné was actually present in the restaurant.
If I had to guess, the food must have been great at some point, but the kitchen is now simply coasting on past reputation, social media hype, a cute aesthetic, & a distinct beer & wine selection. It's a shame, because I really wanted to love this spot. Even though a $86 dinner for two (without alcohol & before tax) is considered reasonable nowadays, it simply wasn't worth it. The quality of the food was subpar, even compared to a standard food truck.
