Visiting this cafe in the heart of Montreal was such a amazing experience, finding an authentic lunch style sandwich places is very difficult when you are just visiting a city, & when I found this place I was so lucky. The design & layout of this place was well thought out, the location is in a commercial area in the heart of downtown Montreal where is very inviting & designed very well. The service was fast, & everything was very fresh & made with high-quality ingredients. The pricing was very competitive & didn't hurt the pocket as much. There are options to choose from. Also, depending on what you're vegetarian to having even steak. I would give this a five out of five just for the authenticity & the quality that they're serving at the price point. Whenever I am back in the city, I will definitely be visiting this café again for the fries also were amazing.

Was excited to try after seeing many positive reviews. Overall a good meal but the taste is pretty standard & nothing stands out, like an elevated Subway with better bread. There needs some sourness in the salmon sandwich & some pesto or pepper with the steak sandwich would have been nice.
