| - Was just here today and it was one d*mn fine sandwich.
They are not officially open yet; grand opening in is a week. So they are still in the soft opening stage. The menu is short and simple, but don't let that deter you from what is some of the best meat I have ever had. I walked in, not knowing what to expect. My experience with Montreal smoked meat is limited (frozen stuff) so consider me a new initiate.
The owners, seeing that I didn't know what to order, gave me a sample of the meat. Cut just thin enough (1-2mm thick), with just a line of fat attached, the meat was incredibly flavourful and tender. Just melts in the mouth with little effort. The juices fill the mouth, the spices tickling my nose, enticing me further. In mere seconds, I was hooked, and needed more.
Thus, I ordered a sandwich. The meat was piled high; more than an inch thick of meat between two slices of rye, plus a healthy squirt of mustard. I relished the flavour and aroma, the chew, and light amount of fat. In fact, next time, I'll see if I can get some of the fattier end; its that flavourful, and I just don't care about my waistline. The bread though, could have been better. Suggestion to owners: contract a local bakery for good rye bread. There are a few of them around the area (really!)
The sandwich alone came in at 8.99+tax (so 10.15). Personally, I think it is priced a dollar, and a bit, too much for the area. Too many Chinese, Indian, and Hakka joints around. So I hope they lower the prices a little, or sweeten the deal with a free drink or the like. That said, I would definitely come again!
After ordering the sandwich, I had spotted smoked meat poutine on the menu. It would have been too much for one meal, but I know exactly what to get the next time I come around.
Keep up the good job! Hope you can sweeten the deal a little bit to keep me coming more often!!!
