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.
This is hands down the best sandwich in Montreal (apologies to the other greats). The service is quick, the bread is incredible & the sandwiches are jam packed. You will leave full & very happy. Do not miss this spot.
Juste parfait! Le sandwich est délicieux, généreux & le prix tout à fait raisonnable. On est même parti avec une bouteille de sauce maison tellement elle est bonne (on en met littéralement partout!!). En plus le spot est super chouette & les employés sympathiques! À y aller & y retourner.
In a city with fierce competition in the sandwich game, Renzo is making some noise.
Stopped in with a group recently & had the #1, classic ingredients, nothing crazy. But once I took a bite, I realized…yea I was wrong. It was cray cray. Excellent mash of flavours, not too messy, just messy enough.
Definitely do not think of getting 1 sandwich for yourself unless you don't plan on eating anything else that day, because these things are huge. Easily 2 pounds.
Cool diner vibe, & very pleasant service, & quick!

Shout out to everyone at Renzo this is a sandwich place the city was waiting for many choices I would say my top 3 would be corn beef, Philly cheese but they are alll very good
It was my 4th time trying Renzo & it was my 4th time being disapointed. At least this time, it didn't take 30 mins to get my sandwich ready.
This time i got the cheesesteak philly. The meat is ok. But what's up with all the marinated peppers? There is so much of those, that they take over how the sandwich taste. The cheese was some cheap cheese wiz. Not the standard provolone you would expect on a cheesesteak philly.
I will also talk about the size of the sandwiches themselves.. They are simply too big. They completely empty the bread & keep a super thin layer of crust & overfill it with the meat & condiment. Now, i know, i know, people usually complain there is not enough stuff in sandwiches most time. But i'm talking about balance here. Less is more should apply here.
I guess it's on me again this time & after 4 try, i know i saldy won't be going back.
I was super excited when i heard it was a club sandwich place.. but i guess it's just over hyped.
