Renzo Sandwich is a sandwich shop located in the heart of the Mile End, at the corner of Fairmount and Saint-Laurent. We serve hearty, gourmet sandwiches made with artisanal Italian ciabatta bread — from the Classic Sub to the Turkey Club, the Mortadella-Artichoke, the Renzo Chicken, the Corned Beef, the Cubano… and many other delicious creations.
Across numerous reviews, Renzo Sandwich is described as a standout Montreal spot for big, hearty subs made with fresh bread and generous fillings. Lovers of the place praise the bold flavors and solid balance in classics like the Philly cheesesteak, mortadella artichoke, roast beef Italian, cubano, the Renzo chicken, and the turkey club, though some sandwiches vary in quality and notes about too much sauce or underseasoned meat appear. The bread is repeatedly highlighted as crusty and soft, a big factor in the overall positive impression, and portions are noted as substantial, sometimes massive. The vibe is warm and retro, and service is often fast and friendly, with takeout a strong option for busy days, though peak times can mean waits or crowded seating. Value is seen as fair to high given portion size and ingredients, with many calling it the best sandwich spot in Montreal, while a few feel certain items miss the mark and the atmosphere cannot fully compensate. Desserts such as tiramisu and key lime pie receive praise and add to the overall experience. Taken together, the reviews present Renzo as a must-try destination that excites aficionados, while acknowledging occasional inconsistency and practical downsides like seating limits and service during rushes.
I loved my experience here. I got the buffalo chicken sandwich & it was delicious. I love the bread they use, it's firm enough to make the sandwich easier to eat, but not too hard. They also used enough sauce, I hate I dry sandwich & this was not that. The atmosphere is great, love the cute retro vibe & they even have merch which is really cool. Thanks for the awesome lunch guys, I'll be back.
Ordered on uber. Could not add notes.
Sandwiches arrived soggy & falling apart. Fried chicken in sandwich nearly non existent. Very bad experience. Will not order again. Waste of money.
I had the corned beef sandwich & tried the buffalo chicken sandwich, both absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was nice with the workers & the design was beautiful
Great selection of sandwiches that are jam-packed with ingredients, making them totally worth the price. We had the Chicken Renzo & the Vegetarian Sub: both delicious. The restaurant has a charming vintage aesthetic. Counter service only.
This was our second try & sadly it was a miss for us again. The Chicken Cesar sandwich was very dry, hardly any sauce or bacon inside the sandwich. The portion of chicken was decent though. All in all, not flavourful. It was a Sunday at lunch so quite busy, not sure if that may be the cause.
Very disappointing. Not horrible, but disappointing. I ordered the italian roast beef. The bread itself was fresh & delicious however there was so much unseasoned shredded lettuce that it made my entire sandwich flavorless. The meat was also cold which isn't what comes to mind when you order a roast beef sandwich. My friends enjoyed their Renzo Sandwich, the chicken was crunchy, however also mentioned it was under seasoned. They said of all, the Philly Cheesesteak was the best.
New sandwich place in the neighborhood! It seems to be a trend lately but I'm not complaining, I love a good sandwich. This place has a cool retro, hipster vibe. Not much seating (only 4 booths of 2 & a counter top for 6 people), but there is lots of places to eat outside. I got the chicken Cesar & the ingredients were very fresh, the chicken juicy, & the bread airy & not too tough. I wish the chicken had a bit more seasoning or that they added a bit more sauce. Overall the sandwich's was really good but missing a bit of kick. My boyfriend got the chicken buffalo & it was very tangy! I loved the mix of flavours of the buffalo sauce with the chicken & the pickles. The sauce was a bit too sour for me but I had a couple of bites & it was good!
I would definitely come back since it's so close to Kem Coba & it's the perfect meal + dessert combo!

Renzo absolutely delivered. I had the Renzo Chicken & the Mortadella & Artichoke sandwiches - & both were fantastic in different ways. The Renzo Chicken is juicy & crunchy with just the right amount of heat from the jalapenos & a creamy hit from their house mayo. The Mortadella & Artichoke was packed with flavour & textures - the fior di latte & red pepper puree were an unexpected but welcome touch.
Service was quick, the space was clean, & the menu has a solid variety. Definitely worth the hype - & worth the price. I'll be back to try more.
