Came for lunch today on a nice and quiet Friday afternoon. I ordered the Montreal smoked meat on rye with the soup of the day, which was chicken and lime, and the soup was pipping hot when it came to the table.
The soup was nice and savoury, and I loved that it had lots of vegetables - it reminded me a borscht soup, except with shredded chicken instead of beef. As for the sandwich, looks were certainly deceiving because I thought the portion looked rather small on such a big plate but it turns out that they really heaped the smoked meat into it. The meat was really tender and flavourful so I'm glad that was the case. The crust of the rye bread was a bit hard in contrast to the soggier middle, but it was still good. I was curious, however, where my pickle went since it was written in the description on the menu but was nowhere to be found in my sandwich.
The staff were all very friendly and overall, this seems to be a nice place to enjoy a weekday brunch.
