Amazing sandwiches!! First time in Montreal & we were stopping for a quick bite. The lady at the front was so friendly, answered questions about the meat/toppings, & gave great suggestions. The food was so fresh & delicious, I'll be thinking about The Godfather sub for a while. Can't wait to come back soon.

This sandwich shop was an AMAZING find. The McGill Debate Club organized a tournament with around 90 participants, & we needed reliable catering with vegetarian/vegan options.
When we called MONO, the employee was incredibly friendly & proactive in helping us figure out what would work best. I was put in contact with the owner, Sara, & we quickly found a great common ground. She was receptive, accommodating with dietary needs, & even offered free delivery. The Go Habs Go & the Lucie & Mom sandwiches were flavourful & fresh.
Our biggest fear was ending up with dry sandwiches, but it was the complete opposite: perfectly moist.
Thank you, MONO, for the fantastic service. We look forward to visiting the shop in person soon!
Staff are extremely nice & friendly. However, the sandwich does NOT TASTE GOOD. We have some amazing sandwiches you can get around Montreal. Bossa, not far, MezzMiz down the street, or even Antep kebab. Also the stench of rats living in the building/kitchen is strong when you walk in. I think they can do better. Very kind people but this is IN NO WAY a 4.7/5. This is a solid 1-2/5 at best. It's extremely expensive for what it is. I do not want a response.
I visited Mono & tried the Godfather hero, while my wife had the Simple Sandwich on round ciabatta. Both sandwiches were well prepared & very tasty. When combined with their seasoned fries, they make a complete & satisfying meal. We really enjoyed it!
Good sandwich, good potato wedge, friendly staff, drink selection is pretty weak but doesn't hurt the score here, food compensates. $57 for two cans of pop, two sandwiches, & a single order of fries is pretty steep, but you could do worse for the money.
First timer. Found on google maps & decided to try it.
Nice, clean & cosy atmosphere 💯 Just the scent diffuser was blasting a bit too much I think.
As for food I took the Hungry Man & a friend had the Godmother. Both were very good. Hungry Man was packed but at same time felt light & fresh! Godmother was so good too on the'greasy' side.
Would recommend & visit again! 💯👌

We recently visited MONO Sandwicherie on Crescent Street while filming our Montreal Sandwich Challenge - & it quickly became one of our favorite downtown spots!
The atmosphere is stylish yet cozy, perfect for a quick lunch or a relaxed coffee break right in the heart of Montreal. The staff were incredibly welcoming, & we loved the personal touch from Sarah, the owner's wife, who surprised us with an extra sandwich (thank you again! ).
Everything we tried was delicious, but we especially recommend the breaded chicken sandwich - crispy, flavourful, & perfectly balanced - & don't miss their fries with homemade sauce. Portions are generous, & the presentation matches the great taste.
If you're exploring downtown or just looking for a great local café with quality food & warm service, MONO is absolutely worth a stop. Highly recommended from Discovering Destinations!
The sandwiches are so delicious & very well priced for their size! The Mars 07 was one of the best classic sandwiches I've had! The staff are also super kind & friendly.
This is hands down the best sandwich spot in Montreal! The portions are always generous, the stuffing plentiful, & the ingredients always fresh. I've been coming here since they first opened, & the food quality has been consistently excellent.
What truly sets this place apart, though, is the customer service. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, & the owners are some of the kindest, most genuine people you'll ever meet. They truly care about their customers & treat everyone like family. Every visit feels like coming home.
Had a great turkey sandwich here. My friend got The Godfather which was also very tasty. I can be pretty indecisive (lol) & the woman was super patient with me & let me take my time. Loved the bread. Would come back!
One of the best sandwiches in town.
Fresh, delicious food, & a real variety of flavors.
The service is efficient & fast, & the staff is so kind, welcoming, & friendly.
Great place !
Un des meilleurs sandwiches en ville.
Nourriture fraîche, délicieuse, & une bonne variétés de goûts.
Le service est efficace & rapide, & l'équipe est vraiment gentille, accueillante & sympathique.
Super endroit !
Excellent sandwiches. We had the Hero & the Hulk. Both were very, very good.... from the bread to the generous amount of meat to the other fresh ingredients. The fries are also exceptionally good. They are seasoned & addictive. Highly recommend!
I come here multiple times a week. The owner is such a sweetheart, she knows my order by heart & is always smiling. The staff here are always friendly & efficient.
Generous portions & delicious sandwiches. Their sandwiches are HUGE & packed with flavour. I usually eat one half & save the other half for later. My favourite is the Godfather (with extra sauce). For hot options I recommend either of the two chicken cutlet sandwiches (the Poker Parm & the Paparazzi).
I was also lucky to try their homemade brownies; they're so good!
I highly recommend visiting if you're in the area! You won't be disappointed :)
Definitely one of the best in city, fabulous & delicious sandwiches, the high quality ingredients & breads, wide selection, super filled & super- satisfying & also the great price.
Fast & friendly staff, great customer service specially the owner.
Stopped in here to grab a quick lunch with some friends & had a great experience. The had various different ingredient combos to choose from or you could opt to build your own sandwich. We had the hulk, the godfather, & the chicken parm - all of the sandwiches came loaded & left us full (& happy). We sat outside on the patio which was nice to do in the summer but they have AC inside if you are looking to enjoy your sandwich away from the heat. Great place, definitely recommend.
