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.
Renzo Sandwich is described as a bold, generously filled sandwich spot with fresh ingredients and a retro vibe. Reviews praise the quality and variety, with standout items like the classic Renzo chicken, mortadella artichoke, Philly cheesesteak and porchetta, and note the sandwiches are often substantial and flavorful. Some experiences mention bread that is not fresh or too crusty and sauces that could be bolder, leading to underseasoned or dry bites. Service and atmosphere are frequently praised for speed and friendliness, but a few visits mention longer waits during peak times and limited seating.
Decent sandwhich, not great. Fresh ingredients & good balance. However the flavour is lacking, the lettuce should have dressing on it. The bread definitely needs improvement, its too crusty & dry. The vibe & decor inside is nice. If they fix the bread & add seasoning & dressing to the veggies, it has potential to be a top sandwhich spot in montreal, but for now, Bossa is still king.

Decent sandwich, except the bread was definitely not fresh. The person manning the counter called the orders / names out in a very quiet voice & let your sandwich just sit on the counter when you didn't hear them. In my opinion, they did a poor job at this very simple task.
But the sandwich is still good, in spite of the hard/old bread. Worth a visit if you're around, but not worth a dedicated trip.
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.
Second time at Renzo & still disappointed. The food lacks flavor, I had the Caesar sandwich & the sauce didn't even taste like a Caesar sauce, it was very bland. We clearly asked for no bacon, but after taking a bite I realized there was bacon in it. They did replace the sandwich, but overall it was still a frustrating experience.

Go here if you want an extremely average sandwich to post on your Instagram. Nice decor & service but the sandwich left a lot to be desired. Overall, I'd recommend one of the 10 other delicious sandwich shops in the area (or a bit further north in little Italy).
Jai probablement fait le mauvais choix ! Mon point négatif, les gens qui ont fini de manger & reste a se minoucher pendant que d'autres attendent une place pour manger!! Qualité/prix/grosseur très bien .Ma soupe patate & cheddar très bonne mais très salée. J'y retournerai pour une 2e chance !
J'ai commandé une première fois, une deuxième fois, une troisième fois. Jamais déçue. Tous les sandwichs que j'ai essayés étaient excellents. Maintenant j'en ai des cravings..
Le Riggsman est de retour avec SA review du Renzo *****
Bravo à toute la squadra! On ne parle de rien de moins qu'une intervention divine pour vos papilles. Le San Lorenzo (aka Renzo), c'est la nouvelle cathédrale du sandwich à Montréal : Oui c'est de l'art, mais ça se mange.
Nous devons ce miracle à Giovanni-Michele, notre artiste local de renommée internationale, enfin de retour après sa tournée au cinq coins du globe. Cet architecte culinaire revient chargé d'inspiration & d'anecdotes savoureuses.
La légende raconte que lors de son passage au Vatican, tel un maître de la Renaissance, il aurait aspergé le plafond de la chapelle Sixtine d'un aïoli à la truffe... Une fragrance qui, encore aujourd'hui, donne l'eau à la bouche aux nombreux visiteurs qui s'empressent de dévorer un 12 po bien frais & bien garni!
MTL you are beautiful. Stay caliente, my friends 🔥
