Les avis présentent Wilensky comme une véritable institution montréalaise : un endroit simple et chargé d’histoire où l’on vient pour un sandwich emblématique et des sodas faits maison, dans une ambiance rétro et conviviale. Le Wilensky Special, composé de salami et de Bologna avec fromage et moutarde sur un petit pain à la semoule, est régulièrement salué pour sa saveur et sa simplicité, tout comme les variantes avec Swiss ou cheddar. Les accompagnements tels que les cornichons à l'aigre et les sodas artisanaux, notamment le cherry cola préparé sous les yeux, font partie intégrante de l’expérience. Le cadre est minimaliste et partage un esprit de quartier, avec un service rapide et chaleureux malgré un espace limité et une décoration qui rappelle les années passées. Plusieurs commentaires soulignent les prix raisonnables et la constance du goût au fil des années, tout en évoquant le caractère unique et nostalgique du lieu, parfois décrit comme un musée vivant et comme un lieu de rencontre communautaire qui résiste à la gentrification et au piège à touristes.
Great people, good food that always hits the spot we went on a secret food tour & came back the next day. The sandwiches are the best I ever had. It's a baloney, mustard, & cornmeal type bun with great texture. Also comes with a side of pickle spears. Will come back again when we go to Montreal

Very cool experience with the special sandwich with cheddar, cherry cola, & the pickles. I should have had two sandwiches but was trying to pace myself that day.
It was an absolute treat to stop here. The service was kind, quick, & very professional. The Special is worth it in so many ways. You might want two. Will be coming back
Who could ever forget about the famous & iconic most likely 1st business open selling sandwiches in fallbrook. I personally remember welinsky's from their delicious bread they serve best sandwich bread me & my bois dom & nick would grab as an after school snack.
Wait times fasttttt af boi or gurl...
& topping it all off the customer service along with all staff & sandwich artists are top tier always got a smile on their face being professional it doesn't matter what kind of past or broken relationships that have been raptured. They keep it pop ruling their tasks on cycle.
Who can forget an order when it's all written & quoted for in the big book. Don't order 6 times a day tho. Cuz that book will turn into a 6 figure sequel of non stop tasty bread in the 6 libraries across NC.
Not too many MC's got dissed but the whole flock couldn't evade their associations in stuff I'm too lazy to by a new suit for. Just like her I'm sayin Thank you next, tryna get atleast another 36,000 people in the association that'll be enough motivation to not only wine n dine in but also write down the names of each little one of Santa's helpers not leaving & race religion or body dismorphia attributes behind cuz we're all equal :)
I'll camp out the big house for 72,000 minimum.
Freedom of speech is cool but impeding & shredding up someone's privacy civil rights now that's just radical
I'm sorry
SIMPLE & DELICIOUS! 😋
The place is run by amazing teamwork between the staff. A person bakes the bread, a person who manages & assembles the sandwich, a cashier, & a waitress. You can see all this while you are sitting at the bar table! The food came out in a FEW SECONDS after we ordered. We got the Wilensky special(we chose Swiss cheese) & soda. The sandwich seems small but it's very delightful & fulfilling.
The place tells a story of all the history (since 1932) that the store went through. It feels nostalgic even when you haven't been here before. I've never seen a soda fountain & it was really cool to see how they make drinks with it!
If you want a cozy, nostalgic, delicious & simple lunch, this place is for you!
The only thing for the place is that it's not accessible for people with wheelchairs. Just fyi.
Excellent sandwiches at reasonable prices. Brings back memories of sandwiches I had when I was a kid. I forgot to take pictures but will try for next time.
This place is a Montréal institution!! Stopped in for a quick bite to eat. The place was full at 3:00pm & was greeted promptly by the friendly staff. Ordered an old-fashioned Cherry Cola & the Wilensky Special. The soda was delicious & the sandwich (so simple, yet perfect) was amazing! Perfect ratio of mustard to bread to salami & baloney. Who knew this little grilled sandwich could be so good!
