This restaurant was recommended to me & I just wish I had been told about it earlier in my trip so I could've eaten there several more times. I got the'Italian-ish egg bake' & ate every bite. The mimosa was also delicious with homemade OJ. I highly recommend this place to anyone in Montréal!

We had a fantastic lunch we had two out of the three sandwiches on their menu & they were majorly delicious the warmer of potato salad was also phenomenal. There was a bit of a wait but they were very gracious & had a seat it as quick as they could.

TLDR: if you come, split a panini & get something else lighter like a salad. Great pastries. (4.5/5)

Ordered the Cubaine & Mr Miami paninis & a butter croissant. All were delicious but the paninis are excessively oily. The first 3/4 of the panini were absolute heaven, but the last quarter felt like a chore due to the oil-covered bread.

Also of note is the wait times. If you come at peak time, expect waiting for more than 30 minutes. Limited seating but you can do take out.

$25 sandwich might sound unhinged but that was so much flavor & craft in their Cubain, it's their best

Way Overpriced & very poor service. The restaurant looks good inside but panini/sandwiches are extremely underwhelming. 26$ each with nothing else. Tips automatically included if more than 4 people. We told them there were bread crumbs on our chairs but instead of taking care of it the waitress gave us napkins for us to do it ourselves. This restaurant is what is 100% wrong with tipping culture. Because they know they can automatically charge 18%, they do not give a damn about providing a minimum service. To avoid, mcdonald would provide a better experience.
