Ouf. Ouffffffff. Tricky one here. Food is good, & they might know it a bit too much. Got into the restaurant & asked about an update on an order made on UberEats. No one gave a damn **. Stayed there for 10 mins, nobody cared. Ordered at 11:15, pickup from between 12:15 to 12:45 for a client meeting. Got there at 12:20, UberEats app tells me ready by 1:05. No lunch for the meeting. Not great at all. I'll say this - they highly likely prioritize orders coming from their own platform. Just be mindful when you're about to do a pickup order, don't go through UberEats.

Place is very nice & good is good . Our first experience was amazing our second not so great . We spent 100 dollars on 4 meals realized that the mayo contained truffle awake the waitress to switch to regular mayo & she charged me .75 cents obviously it was not a money issue but a customer service !' After a customer pays 100 & asks for mayo ... is the .75 cents really necessary !

I've ordered here every other week, sometimes multiple times per week for over a year now. The recipes have recently changed, & not for the better. The San Daniele staple has now suffered cost cutting measures while still costing 20$ after taxes & tip, for a sandwich! Arugula was switched out for McDonald's shredded iceberg, & olive tapenade was scratched off entirely. This sandwich can now be made yourself for less than 5$. My regular smoked salmon sandwich, which is the one I can eat regularly for dietary restriction reasons, without going for the terrible "veggie" one, has now been removed from the menu. Value for the price no longer seems to be there. Shame, as it was for me the best sandwiches in town.

The cafe is fantastic! I had a bagel & a croissant, & they were both delicious. My only suggestion would be to update the pictures with the current pricing. It can be a bit confusing for those of us on a budget when the menu visuals don't match the prices. Otherwise, great experience!

One of the best sandwiches in Montreal! They have other locations as well throughout the city. Highly recommended for pick up or you can eat on site. My favorite is the steak sandwhich. Run, don't walk!
