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.
The roast beef & tomatoe sandwiches left much to be desired. Both were underseasoned, with the bread feeling plain & uninspired, & an overwhelming amount of lettuce that detracted from the overall flavour. The roast beef was at least cooked well, size was decent & price was good.
The atmosphere initially piqued my interest, offering a unique vibe, but that excitement quickly faded once the disappointing flavour of the sandwiches became apparent.
To top it off, the chocolate chip cookie was a major letdown - dry & stale, it lacked the freshness & gooey texture you'd expect. It's surprising how such a simple classic can be mishandled so thoroughly.
Overall, the experience fell short of expectations on both taste & execution.
Sandwich pas très goûteux. J'ai pris le numéro 6. Très huileux, j'ai eu de la difficulté à dérouler le genre de papier ciré dans lequel le sandwich est emballé. C'est comme si il roule le sandwich avec le papier dedans. J'en ai même eu dans une de mes bouchées. Peut -être serez-vous plus chanceux que moi avec un sandwich différent. L'endroit est hyper-beau, vraiment nice.
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.
Super nouvelle sandwicherie à Montréal ! La sélection de sous-marins est excellente. J'ai pris le Club Classique & il était parfait : frais, généreux & plein de saveurs. Ils ont aussi des à-côtés & des desserts. J'y retournerai, c'est certain. Je recommande !

Haters gonna hate. Pendant ce temps, je serais probablement occupé a manger un sandwich de chez Renzo. Vous n'êtes pas fan de l'attente? Évitez les heures de pointes & lâchez le chialage. Toute bonne chose prend du temps. Merci!
Nous avons été agréablement surpris par le sandwich, bien garni & plus copieux que prévu. J'ai pris le sub classique (#1) avec piments & salade : le pain était excellent, la garniture généreuse & la salade très fraîche. Le prix est raisonnable & la qualité au rendez-vous, même si je me demande si la viande est préparée maison ou non.
J'ai essayé le Classique & le poulet césar. Gros sandwiches qui se partagent bien à 2.
Je comprend pas ceux qui chialent pour les prix, c'est vraiment dans la moyenne pour Mtl & t'en as pour ton argent.
Quelle belle découverte! Les saveurs explosent en bouche & l'expérience vaut vraiment le détour. Le service gagnerait à être un peu plus rapide, mais l'accueil chaleureux compense largement. J'ai bien hâte d'y retourner!
