| - [LOCATION] - 4/5
Located on Rue Saint-Paul Ouest and Rue Saint-Pierre at Old Montreal. Parking spots were hard to find, so we had to park a few streets away from this place.
[SERVICE] - 5/5
Our server was friendly. The wait time was 45 minutes, but we left our phone number so we could walk around, and the hostess gave us a call 5 minutes before our table was ready.
[DÉCOR] - 4/5
Very small, intimate, and homey vibes. There were a lot of people when we went at around 2PM on a Saturday. They had a takeout area for pastries and hot drinks if you just want to order something to go, or while you wait for a seat.
[QUALITY] - 5/5
Fresh ingredients and homemade recipes. I totally understand why this place was so crowded! The food was really, really good.
[ORDER] - 4/5
- The Gustavo Panini - $14.95: BEST. PANINI. EVER. The yogurt & roasted garlic marinated chicken was so juicy & complemented the roasted mushrooms and grilled red onion. The whole panini was glued together with with maple and Dijon mayonnaise and melted Havarti cheese.
- The Cubain Panini- $13.95: Basically a next-level ham and cheese sandwich. Pancetta (Italian bacon) and roasted pork were very flavourful but a little too salty in my opinion. The lime and cilanto cut through the richness of the pork and melted gruyère cheese. The panini was brought together with a tangy pickle mayonnaise.
[OVERALL] - 5/5
Before I came here, I thought a panini was just a panini. But boy, I was SUPER glad I tried the ones here. Although both paninis were delicious, The Gustavo was much juicier and the medley of flavours were better than The Cubain. Overall, this place was worth the wait, and I would definitely recommend The Gustavo Panini.
