Olive et Gourmando
Old Montreal is full of mediocre tourist lunches, and this is the antidote. Pressed sandwiches, bakery-grade pastries, and real soups from people who came out of serious kitchens. The catch is the line — go before noon or after 1:30, or grab it to go and eat by the waterfront. It's the one Old Montreal lunch I'd send anyone to, and it doubles as a treat stop.
The bakery-café that saves Old Montreal from tourist-trap lunches — pressed sandwiches, real pastries, and soups, worth the line or a takeout to the water.
