I have to admit, I am a fan. Just entering there, you know that time has stopped in place many, many years ago.
It certainly is not a classy place. It is not gourmet at all. And its name doesn't suit the place at all: it is NOT a light lunch. However, it a true Montreal institution and a classic.
When you go there, there is only thing to order, really: the Wilensky Special. Bread with salami and bologna and mustard. You take two of those along with a cherry coke and a sour pickle and you're good to go. It's open from 10am to 4pm, weekdays only.
And you have to remember the rules:
"When ordering a special
You should know a thing or two
They are always served with mustard
They are never cut in two
Don't ask us why, just understand
That this is nothing new
This is the way that it's been done since 1932."
Oh, and don't dare you give them some tip.
