Rudy is a newly established purveyor of comfort food that focuses on a very streamlined menu of featured sandwiches. You can order one of three specialty burgers, or grab yourself a side of fresh cut fries ($3.50) or poutine ($7.50) which only comes in one size. Aside from beverages and water, that's about it. Plain and understated seem to be the theme at this College Street burger stop, which is the perfect set up for a surprisingly good meal.
Must-try items:
Valentino (Fried Chicken sammie)
Poutine
With a small TV and a nice scenic view of Little Italy, It's quite relaxing to sit down and sample the grub here. For the size of the diner, it is very open, clean, and welcoming. The straightforward approach and friendly customer service make for a classic diner experience.
In keeping with the well thought-out concept, the sandwiches use a smattering of simple ingredients to deliver a nice punch of flavour. You can bet that the Valentino will become a customer favourite. Few chicken sandwiches are as juicy and tender, and they've chosen the right size and toppings to make it both filling and satisfying. I'm impressed at how well they do poutine, and will be back for one any time soon.
