Ten years later, this place totally doesn't disappoint. I initially came here when visiting friends who were going to McGill. I think I ate there every single day I was in Montreal during my previous visit (sadly, ten years ago, though I plan on rectifying that asap)
I like the homey vibe, the friendly servers and how they tolerated my franglais. I also like the somewhat creepy minarets. They added a touch of magic to my already awesome sandwich.
You know when the bread is fluffy between your fingers, and is slightly crusty on the outside, which gives a textural experience as well as a tasty experience? Welllll, the pumpernickel bread was THAT good. Awesome.
I would like to try all of the sandwiches at some point, and would definitely recommend the smoked ham sandwich.
Also, I got an espresso that was poured over some vanilla ice cream. Heaven.
