I actually couldn't be more please right now! Discovering Porta via has definitely made my whole day. To be quite honest, I'm feeling a little giddy about it.
There are about 20 different sandwiches on the menu, all of which are full of fresh, colourful, flavourful, quality ingredients. The salads are just brilliant and the soups (we tried both) were awesome!
The place is set up a little like subway or quiznos, except cleaner, classier and way WAY better tasting!
After you pick your sandwich and your bread off the menu one of the 'sandwich artists' whips it up behind the glass counter and puts it in a panini press. A minute later you have a fresh warm sandwich, hot delicious soup and a salad...all for $10. They also had samples of the other soup.
There's a small shady patio with four tables outside and a couple rows of clean white tables inside. The Tuscan Chicken sandwich was amazing as was the Tomato and Chickpea Soup. The Brie and Beef sandwich was good too but given the choice between the two go definitely with the Tuscan sandwich.
I am already scheming a way to get back to the area for another lunch. Porta Via, ladies and gentlemen, is lunch time perfection!!
