Nonnina in Lachine delivered an amazing experience from start to finish. The pastries were fresh, delicate, & full of flavor, while the sandwiches were made with high quality ingredients & tasted absolutely delicious. The gateaux & desserts were beautifully presented & tasted just as incredible as they looked. Everything felt authentic & carefully prepared. The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, & the staff was friendly, attentive, & professional throughout the visit. It's rare to find a place that excels equally in pastries, sandwiches, & desserts. Truly a hidden gem in Lachine that I'll definitely be visiting again. Highly recommended!
My mom & I visited Nonnina's with our dog this morning 🐶. The personnel at the cash was quite empathetic & apologized that my dog cannot stay inside the restaurant- which I have foreseen with people having allergies & everything.
When we arrived around 10:20, it was too early for the lunch menu (which starts at 11:00), so my mom decided to stay inside the restaurant, while my dog & I stayed outside on the tables & chairs set-up out front.
While we were waiting for the lunch menu to be ready, we ordered croissants with cheese 🥐. When our order was ready, I didn't realize that mine came with ham (I do not eat pork), so I went back to the personnel at the cash & made him aware of it. Not only did he prepare me a new one with only cheese, but he also let my mom keep the one with ham.
The whole restaurant has such a nice vibe to it & having personnel like that man at the cash (I didn't ask for his name), makes the whole experience even better! The mozzarella tomato 🍅 & mortadella buratta were delicious!!! The vanilla latte was quite good ☕? (per my mom).
Plus, the location is about 5 minutes walk from the Lachine Canal, which is so nice for bird watching!
An absolute gem of Lachine - from food to staff to ambience. Our favourite local spot for croissants, foccacia pizzas, & of course, the spicy chicken sandwhich. Beyond the great food, the staff is incredibly welcoming - it's a neighbourhood staple for good reason & quite possibly the heart & soul of the area. Highly recommend!
Very well located place with parking around the area, cozy decoration, good ambiance, very busy, delicious sandwiches, fresh, tasty, also a wide variety of desserts, totally recommended spot in Lachine!
Le Nonnina est tout simplement un restaurant à découvrir absolument. La nourriture est toujours délicieuse, le service est rapide & impeccable, & l'ambiance est portée par des employés chaleureux qui offrent un service véritablement personnalisé.
J'ai aussi fait affaire avec eux pour leur service traiteur lors de mon party de Noël & j'ai été plus que satisfaite. (& toute mon équipe aussi d'ailleurs)Tout était parfait du début à la fin.
Honnêtement, c'est un endroit que tout le monde devrait essayer au moins une fois. Pour moi, je le recommande à 100%, c'est un endroit que tout le monde gagnerait à connaître.
