| - Café Santropol is extremely mediocre and I honestly only go here when a vegetarian friend suggests it. The service is HORRIBLE and the food is overpriced and lacklustre. When I walked in I waited in the area that said "please wait to be seated," however the waitresses kept walking by my friend and I without acknowledging us. After around 3 minutes of waiting a woman came from behind the counter and gave us menus, and didn't say a word or seat us. My friend and I eventually got the message that we should seat ourselves, and ventured inside the restaurant. The waitress that came to take our order wasn't great either, she just took our orders and gave us our food without coming by to check on us. I was parched the entire time and desperately needed a refill on my water, however the waitress was nowhere to be seen for the rest of our visit. The restaurant was nearly empty when I went and there was really no excuse for the poor service. I've been to Santropol three times before and the service has been bad in the past, but after this visit I will definitely not be going here again.
In regards to the food, it's just OK. A ham sandwich with cream cheese, lettuce, mango chutney, and a SMALL salad, should not cost 14 dollars. Period. The sandwich is mostly bread and the crust is extremely hard. I would honestly be better off just stopping at Subway and eating my sandwich at Jeanne Mance park.
