| - Working in Le Plateau near Saint-Laurent and Mont-Royal is heaven for a foodie. So many options from cheap ethnic hole-in-the-walls to fancy restaurants. One thing seriously lacking, though, are options for awesome sandwiches.
Charcuteries Viens just opened a few days ago. Their offering is pretty limited: hand made cold cuts such as porchetta, ham and dry-cured sausages, as well as a few choices of sandwiches made on order which you'll take to go, as they're not expecting you to eat there.
I tried their ham sandwich featuring their handcrafted ham (prosciutto cotto style with a nice fat cap), a few slides of Comtomme cheese by La Station de Compton, pickles and mustard. At $10 for two small sandwiches, it's a pretty good value. And it's pretty good tasting, too!
What's lacking is perhaps a choice of one or two side salads for a more complete meal. No need for something fancy, a tangy red cabbage slaw, or a sweet beet salad would work beautifully.
It may very well become one of my regular spots in the area to grab lunch!
