Today I have my first experience ever at Cafe Gentile. It was not until googling the place to find out where it was that I knew about it's " institution " level in Montreal. So now I know I'm heading to a spot that's been making sambos + coffee for 48 years. No pressure right ? Ha Ha .
I think my roomie and I got in at just the right time after the bizzy lunch rush. Ordered a latte , obviously , yum! It's all about the foam they say and was that foam on point ! I loved the the cocoa on it , it made it look so cute.
Now onto to the grub ! The menu was extensive and I really didn't bother reading it all because I knew I wanted to have something classic , a staple , the breaded chicken sandwich. I love cesar salad alot so I regret not getting it on the side but I went with the pasta because the server suggested it as an option. If I were to go back ( and the chances are good ) I'm getting cesar salad !!!!!!
SO the sandwich was great chicken moist and krispy yummy. PAsta was good but like I said I had buyer's remorse because of not gettting the cesar salad. We had iced teas also which come in this super cool styrofoam cup that was so cool. It was like I was getting a fountain soda at a truck stop or something. Loved it.
Overall I was a huge fan of the decor and branding of the whole spot. Attention to detail was high. Gentile everywhere on everyone super love the brand rep.
