Having heard of this place even living from out of province, you know it's a must try! I decided that it was time to finally find this place in the Jewish quarter of Montreal (which seems to be very Portuguese now)
It's literally a hole in the wall but it's pretty efficient having take out in one completely separate entrance, and the sit down part in another unit (although it would be nice if they could just combine that all)
We got a table right away for 2 on Thursday at 3pm. I had a hard time looking for a menu due to the seat I had but to my embarrassment there were two large wall menus I just didn't bother looking up! It does reduce fumbling in the tight space so that is nice. I did notice the staff were friendly and actually having legitimate conversations with customers which definitely gave the nice cosy family vibe.
I had meat sandwich with poutine and a tea. He had meat sandwich with a pickle and black cherry soda. I was super jealous because his juicy pickle went perfectly with the sandwich and the soda was so good!!! Luckily he was willing to share :')
Washrooms were clean and surprisingly there was one for each gender considering how small the place was I thought that was impressive!
One improvement I have is I wish the bread slices for the sandwich were a bit thicker as I feel like the bread was too soggy due to the amount of meat grease and mustard that fills up the bread.
I would come back again to order a meat sandwich, pickle, and black cherry soda. Yum!!!
