While walking around downtown Montreal my wife and I found ourselves craving a sandwich. What do we do? Go to Yelp of course. Coming across Olive was surely a pleasant surprise. Like most every restaurant in the area, Olive is small, but unlike a lot of them, it packs a big punch.
My wife and I decided to split a salad and a panini. When the food arrived, we were both pleasantly surprised. The panini was a pressed and grilled to a crispy crunch perfection. The Mr. Miami was a play on a Cuban sandwich. In this case, the panini style really made it better by warming up all the meat on the inside. The salad was a simple mixed green salad that was tossed in a delicious vinaigrette.
Overall, Olive & Gourmando is a restaurant that I would recommend to anyone visiting Montreal. The small but very busy restaurant makes the time to make everything fresh and by hand. Only using high-quality ingredients that ensure every customer is very satisfied.
