| - At the time of writing, I've been here on 3 occasions already. And I love it!
Their specialty, the smoked meat sandwich, is so good I almost cry. The juicy, tender meat; the right amount of fat... such delicious, very schwartz, wow.
Food preparation is fast and service is friendly. Sometimes the waiters strike up a chat with you and ask where you're from and what events you're attending today. Yes, they speak both English and French well.
This place is popular for a reason. A lot of my friends have been there, and I have too. Sometimes I'd even run into them randomly at the restaurant!
The decorations within the restaurant are unfortunate in my opinion. Instead of having a clean design, they opted to plaster all the walls with newspaper clippings of all the times they were featured, and also coverage of celebrities visiting the place. On the one hand I acknowledge the history and reputation of this place, but on the other hand this display was just too loud and in-your-face. When I visited for the first time and hadn't experienced the excellent food, the self-promotion gave me a negative feeling. But now I understand why.
Just a note, the restaurant takes cash only. It seems most young people prefer to use debit or credit card as much as possible and avoid cash.
