Reviewers consistently praise Mona Mediterranean Street Food for delicious pita sandwiches with tender meats and fresh, soft bread that makes the fillings shine. Favorites include the smoked maple beef, falafel, chicken cutlet and a version of Philly cheese steak, with others noting well balanced sauces and generous fillings. Prices are described as reasonable for the Old Port, offering good value for the taste. Service is friendly and welcoming, with a warm vibe, while the dining room can feel a bit cold and the kitchen can be a touch slow when ingredients are fresh. An outdoor space is anticipated in warmer weather. Newly opened but already getting strong word of mouth, Mona is seen by many as one of the best meals in Montreal so far, with several reviewers eager to return to try more items.
The pita sandwiches here are amazing - exceeded my expectations! Love the grilled chicken flavour but will also try the others. Price is very reasonable!
The place is new, clean, & in a great location in the Old Port. Service was fast & friendly - absolutely no complaints there. Unfortunately, the food itself was a major letdown.
I tried several items because the menu sounds fantastic on paper - creative flavour combinations, modern takes on Mediterranean street food - but the execution just wasn't there.
The maple-braised beef came with pickles & slaw, & while the concept is great, the meat was extremely fatty & almost completely flavourless. The few bites without fat were okay, but nowhere near worth the price.
The pulled chicken with spicy sauce started off decent for the first two bites, but the green sauce was just drizzled on top instead of integrated into the sandwich. No depth, no layering of flavour, & barely any vegetables to balance it out.
The falafel… honestly, I don't know what to call it, but it was definitely not falafel. Nothing about the texture or flavour resembled falafel, so I don't even have more comments on that.
The fries were oily, rubbery, & very soggy. I actually had to put them in the air fryer at home just to make them edible, & even then they were still'meh.' I added za'atar hoping it would elevate them, but it didn't help much.
All of this came to $54, which is absolutely not worth it for the quality I received.
Great ideas on the menu, great location, but the execution was really poor. I wouldn't come back.

Délicieux sandwich bien présentés! Coup de coeur pour le Boeuf braisé à l'érable avec cornichons & salade de chou. Pain frais cuit dans le four à pizza savoureux. Prix très honnêtes pour le vieux port. Seul bémol : il faisait froid dans le local.
Nice place, the sandwichs 🥪 were good, I would get 2 if you are really hungry. The phily cheese stake is my favorite so far. I was not a fan of the Montreal steak. My buddies also had fries with theirs nothing special but drcent food for sn old port spot.
Run don't walk to get the smoked maple beef sandwich. The meat was so tender & tasty, the pickles were perfect, & even the pita was so soft. The service was so friendly. They have an outdoor space when it warms up that looks like it would be lovely
Vraiment excellent !! Sandwich fait a base de produits de qualité bien assaisonné avec une sauce réellement rarement vue quelque chose de si réussi clairement y faut pas hésiter
Je suis meme revenu 2 jours après avec un amis qui a était autant sublime que mois donc clairement validé 2 fois 🤤
Par contre meilleur a manger sur place chaud
Just stepped out! Absolutely delighted! We ate Montreal sandwich, a very good version of philly cheese steak. The sandwich bread is soft & very tasty. The chicken sandwich was also nice , not exciting but safe & sound! The crew is very hospitable but obviously very shy & a bit awkward but so understandable as they are so recently opened up & for sure they will get more comfortable. Right at the corner of the first block at Jacques Cartier so a great great spot. Value for money! Great price for the taste. So hope they will keep up with the simple but tasty offers. I don't know if they sell alcohol - we were not there for a drink - but I assume yes. Newly opened up! Welcome on board ; hope your business grows 😍

This was the best meal we had in Montreal so far, & not only that! Also THE SERV?CE! Excellent service, very warm welcome, genuine attitude.
Bruno & his team did a great job. We'd recommend to everyone.
Bravo!
OKAY WAIT THIS PLACE NEEDS MORE HYPE! I literally wish I lived in the Old Port so I could get my lunch from Mona every day 🥹 the sandwiches are AMAZING! Favourite is the Falafel, & my boyfriend loves the chicken cutlet! Highly recommend!

This place was empty when we walked by which gave us pause, but based on the reviews we gave it a try, & I am so glad we did. A must have! Delicious, & staff was incredibly friendly.
