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.
Ceaser sandwich was a bit of a dissapointment. Hardly any sauce, was missing capers & parmessan. Their cooking oil can also use a change. Maybe it was an off day. Willing to give them another chance.
Très populaire & avec raisons. Les prix ne sont pas vraiment plus chère qu'ailleurs, surtout que la taille est très conséquente. Je recommande fortement c'est très bon. Miam miam

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.
We visited Renzo's as part of our Montreal Sandwich Challenge & it was the perfect way to kick things off! 🥪 The sandwich was absolutely delicious - packed with flavor & super fresh ingredients. We loved the Italian-inspired touches like mortadella with a unique Montreal twist.
Eli ordered the Philly Cheesesteak & I got the Cubano. We loved the fresh ingredients, the crunchiness, bread, sandwich size, staff was very welcoming & helpful to make our choice.
Even though it's a small spot, it's clean & welcoming, with a cool retro vibe that makes it stand out. If you visit during the summer, you can even take your sandwich to one of the nearby parks & enjoy it outdoors - which we totally recommend!
Definitely worth the lineup. We'll be back to try more from the menu! Still in doubt, check out our vlog about this place.
Je ne sais qui a eu cette idée mais elle est fantastique. Certains des meilleurs sandwiches EVER!! Ceci dit, ce ne sont pas les sandwiches qui volent la vedette, mais le service. ILS ONT L'AIR DE VEAIMENT AIMER LEUR TRAVAIL! Ça paraît, ils sont débordés, mais tous souriants & veulent plaire. À ma dernière visite, ne pouvant plus apportez mon chien à l'intérieur pour commander, ils ont apportez ma commande à l'extérieur. RENZO va devenir une institution comme SHWARTZ!!!
Pain tout mouillé & sandwich plutôt sans trop de saveur pour le phillycheese steak. Une dizaine de clients & autant de personnel; c'est pas possible que ça prenne 25 minutes pour être servi.
en tant qu'amateur de sandwich italien Renzo était sur ma liste. J'y suis allé sans avoir faim pour avoir l'avis le moins biaisé possible.
De prime abord, l'endroit fait envie. La déco est niquel, avec une vraie ambiance. Ça sent la passion.
Je regarde les options & je décide d'essayer le poulet Renzo : vu qu'il porte le nom de l'établissement je me dis que ça doit être le sandwich signature.
& j'ai été vraiment déçu. Par rapport aux autres places qu'on trouve à Montréal j'ai trouvé que Renzo était moyen.
Je mets 4 étoiles car à part le goût il y a un réel effort :
Les produits sont frais, la portion est généreuse mais le sandwich en lui même laisse à désirer.
Niveau saveur c'est très déséquilibré. Aucune nuance, aucune finesse. Y a pas de goût de poulet simplement sa panure trop épaisse qui accompagne le chou. On sent pas la viande qui se noie dans une mer agressive d'acidité & de piquant. C'est tout ce que j'avais en bouche pourtant j'adore les cornichons, les épices etc…
Je ne sais pas si c'est le profil voulu mais en tout cas ça fait pas grand public mais plus recette perso de ton pote amateur cuisinier qu'il a fait sur mesure selon ses goûts
Après les goûts & les couleurs sont subjectifs mais des avis que j'ai lu je n'ai pas l'air d'être le seul à avoir été surpris & déçu.
C'est dommage parce qu'en plus c'est un endroit qui donne envie d'être aimé !

I took the number 14. Poulet Buffalo
It tasted good , I am happy with the sandwich. The only note I would say is that it didn't taste buffalo sauce enough.. but maybe it's just because I'm a Buffalo monster & can't get enough of that flavor.
I wish a great future for this new place.
Le choix des sandwichs, il y en a pour tous les goûts! J'ai pris celui de type Porchetta & c'était délicieux. Viande tendre & avec du goût! Disons légèrement salissant mais ça en valait la peine! Je vais y retourner à coup sûr!
