    Sabrina's Brina sandwich-so good!
    Daniel C.

    We were strolling around looking for a place for lunch and saw Bello. It was hard to resist. Gourmet Italian sandwiches and a couple of guys in aprons chatting on the sidewalk outside. We're glad we walked in. They are super friendly and helpful at the counter, which is good because the choice is overwhelming. Sabrina recommended a panini she created called the Brina, with brie, cranberries, caramelized onions, apple, and pecans. My wife got that and it was so yummy! I got the dinde--smoked turkey, bacon, avocado, tomato, melted cheddar and aioli and that was gone in short order. What a great meal at a reasonable price.

    What's not to LOVE about Bello? The food is great, the location is great, and the staff is beyond great! The team at Bello has been hard at work over the entire COVID shutdown serving up tasty panini's with a smile. Having visited some 30 or so times now, I think I would call myself a regular! I have tried many of the panini's and find myself craving the meatball panini most of all, it's the perfect combination of crisp and crunchy bread, home made meatballs, spicy lunch meat, onions and red peppers, yum! My wife orders the green wrap made with chicken and likes it so much she has never tried anything else! They have a display case full of cookies to temp you while waiting in line to pay. I like them all but my personal favourite it the Lemmon Bar, clearly made with LOVE! Bello is one of those "you can't go wrong" choices in the Old Port, check it out and show them some LOVE!

    The best ever!!! We're 3 friends visiting Montreal for few days we've tried some of most popular restaurants and highly recommended places Bello deli wasn't one of them!!! We found it while we were walking around and we fall in love with it We have tried the brownies it was so much good The tea and the coffee are really really great .. we decided to come here everyday as long as we staying here Also the sandwiches are delicious and unique

    I want ALL THE SANDWICHES at this place. I've tried a bunch of them, and they're all so good I would go back and get the same thing the next day. The salad serving sizes looked a bit on the small side (for my liking) so I stick with the sandwiches. It's also a deli, so you can pick up all kinds of pasta and pre-prepared (mostly Italian) goods. This place is popular with the business crowd, so it can get a decent line going around lunch time - even then it's never taken me too long to get in and out. There's some seating, but not a lot (and it's mostly small tables). If the weather's good, I grab it and walk two blocks (towards the river) and eat it in the park.

    Delicious.  Great offerings of vegetables and salads. Great sandwiches starting at $8USD. Combo plates about $10-$14 USD.

    Great place to have a healthy lunch. Salad and veggie choices were good. Love it that they had a TV where I could watch the world cup. Staff and patrons were friendly. Reasonable prices.

    Great smoked meat sandwich!…read more Honestly my first thought was to compare this sandwich to the many pastrami sandwiches I've had in NYC but that would be comparing apples to oranges. Even Schwartz will tell you it's not the same product although it is very similar. Both institutions cure, spice, smoke and steam the meat but that's where the similarities end. Although I don't know for sure, I've heard the cut of meat is different. Katz uses a naval cut, which is noticeably fattier and juicy. Schwartz's smoked meat doesn't lack in fattiness but it's far less fatty and juicy. Another fact on the first bite is -the flavor. Katz's flavor profile on the pastrami is a knockout punch while Schwartz delivers a jab. Schwartz's smoked meat delivers a different flavor profile all together. That's not to say Schwartz isn't great because it's half the price on Katz essentially and you don't have to tip your slicer here. That's not to say Schwartz doesn't bring their own brand of chaos. On my way out the slicer shouted he'd serve no one until the line was straightened out to his liking. LOL. It's all good though, that line was a mess and Sometimes tourists need a stern talking to. I'd get in a straight line for sure for this sandwich! I got my sandwich from the takeout next door versus waiting for table service. The line was 20 deep at 3pm and I just didn't have the patience on a drizzling afternoon. I'd revisit for another one of these smoked meat sandwiches.

    I'm not sure if my review is going to sway you one way or the other, but let me just say anyone who…read morehas done research on places to eat in Montreal has seen this place pop up, and let me tell you - it's worth it. Their smoked meat sandwich is next level. And while I only had a few places of comparison in Montreal, it was bar none the best smoked meat in Montreal. I dare say they are the Katz's of Montreal. I gotta say, it was a bit of a trek to get here. My wife dropped me off and drove around while I went to get my order. Let me just say, going at 10pm on a Monday night probably played in my favor. Still being that late on a Monday in March, this place was still busy. I could have gotten a table if I was dining in, but that was not my plan. I ran in to grab some take out, and I have to say, in the time it took me to turn around and pay for my sandwich, my sandwich was all ready to go. The anticipation built as we drove back to hotel with my smoked meat sandwich. When I opened it up, I can't say I was overwhelmed by the size of it, but after that first bite, I was hooked. This was the best bite I had on my whole trip, and I am now cursing myself for only getting one sandwich. We almost went back the next morning, but we had to be on the road, so alas, this one sandwich was all we got. OVERALL - if you don't go, it is truly your loss. I would probably try the poutine with the smoked meats on a return trip, to get the full, Montreal experience. CELEBRITY RATING - Ryan Gosling

    Fastest service ever!…read more I think they were in a hurry to close LOL. I ordered 2 Wilensky specials, one with cheddar and the other with swiss. Literally between the time I handed over my money and the cashier turned around to make change from the register behind her, my order was ready and bagged in front of me before I got my change back. I had nothing else to do but walk out and find a place to eat. I was literally in the store for less than 2 minutes! Now the Wilensky is salami, bologna, and your choice of cheese on a roll (that reminds me of an english muffin) with yellow mustard. Simple but absolutely delicious! I've had bologna sandwiches before but never thought to add salami which adds a little spice. That bun was super pillowy and just eased right on down after taking a bite. I generally hate yellow mustard but this wasn't overbearing smear. Each Wilensky was like $5 each and incredibly satisfying. The first steps through the door, it was as if I time travelled directly to 1930s, old weird looking slender poles with round wooden seats, wood cabinetry, and short countertops. The old school was transferred to payments as the prefer cash and accepts Canadian form of debit cards but not American. There are signs basically to say, your way doesn't count. If you order a Wilensky special, it's their way and I'm ok with that. Because their way works! There's also another sign to say no tipping and any money leftover after settling the bill goes to charity, how wonderfully generous that is. Regarding the promptness of my food, I did show up 10 minutes before closing and the prompt service was expected as everyone has places to be and places to go after work. I totally enjoyed the no nonsense effort.

    More than for the food, this place is worth a visit for the experience. You feel like you're…read morestepping back in time when you visit this establishment.

    I have been obliged to use Marcello's at Place Bonaventure for years, but NO MORE!!!…read more They are extremely over priced and you can get a better, fresher and less expensive at Presse Cafe just a few steps away. The food is calculated by the weight, so before you know it you will be paying 10$ for nearly nothing in your styrofoam container. Everyone knows that styrofoam is a NO-NO!!! To top things off on Friday, 16th of March, I got food poisoning. As I was in a hurry, I grabbed one of their pre-prepared wraps in the refrigerated area. It was supposed to be roast beef, cheese, salad, tomato and mustard in a wrap. It was not a wrap; it was a pita bread so you would feel more filled up, the date said that it had been packaged that day, but I can assure you that the roast beef or something else was not fresh. I have never been so ill in my life and I have travelled far and wide and even drink water in South America without getting ill. This place is definitely not only a rip-off, but the quality can be day or days old fare being sold off as fresh of the day food.

    Location: Well hidden in Place Bonaventure. So well hidden that I can't even give you instructions…read moreon how to find the place. My friend took me and she was quite pleased with herself for introducing me to a spot I'd never been to before! The place: To me, it's part grocery store/convenience store/take-out place. You can't sit down here if you buy food - it's strictly to go. Just FYI. Great place to get your afternoon snacks, though! The goods: Besides the standard drinks and snack food, you'll find two buffet-style stations where you can pick and choose what you'd like to eat. One station is salads while the other is hot stuff. A word of caution - price is determined by weight. I'd say that much of the fare is Middle Eastern-style cuisine but this may depend on the day - I'm not sure. When I went, I was starving so I tried a little of everything, including meatballs (yeah I know - my mostly vegetarian self having so much meat lately, is getting out of hand!), chicken, roasted zucchini, pasta salad, rice - I'm sure I must be forgetting something because my container must have weighed five pounds. Besides the spinach rice leaving me underwhelmed, I loved every single thing I tried. Those meatballs were AMAZING and bursting with flavor. You have to try them. The chicken was equally delicious and tender - cooked to perfection. Honestly, I could give you an itemized breakdown but it would be redundant since everything was great. Definitely a great place to grab lunch if you were in Bonaventure or the surrounding area. Just figure out how to get there and you're set (=-D Service: The clerks at the cash were friendly. Price point: This is where it gets tricky.... While I did try a little of everything, I'm not sure it was worth $18 ($21 with a drink). It was a little steep, in my opinion - I mean, you're serving yourself after all. In any case, since it does go by weight, prices will vary. To be fair, I did get some heavy items (but those meatballs, though!). This is definitely a place worth checking out - the quality and freshness of the food alone, is worth the detour

Is the smoked meat better than Schwartz's? That's up for debate, but I'd say in quality it's about tied. From there it is a matter of taste, and if you want more pepper, you'll definitely prefer it here. Everything here is fantastic. I had roasted chicken on my recent visit and we loved it. Again, the pepper crust is almost a stapple here. I love the coleslaw here. They struck a balance between the vinaigrette and creamy approach. The potato salad is great and the fries are fresh cut. But here's what really stands out above all, and at this point I'm comparing to ANY bbq place are their beef ribs. They are possibly my favourite. Aside from being great quality and perfectly smoked, the BBQ sauce they use is unlike any other. It's darker and for a second almost reminds you of Teriyaki, but it's also quite different. It really is it's own thing. You can use that sauce on about any meat, but it really is magic with their ribs. Note: free ice cream cones for kids!

A little out of the way from everything else had been doing, but wanted to check out this local institution. So glad I did! Did not expect Zytynsky's being in such an unpretentious brick building, but the magic was all inside. The store had an excellent curated selection of Eastern European gourmet items, all clearly presented with pride. Since I was on vacation, my goal was something to eat that day, but did spend some time looking at all the imported goodies. When I arrived, Angel, the extremely friendly woman behind the counter, was dealing with a couple of familiar faces to her. I overheard that she's been at the store for about 40 years, but I didn't realize that she was the owner and the founder was her grandfather. At my turn to order, I asked her for some suggestions. Ending up with a Smoked Meat Sandwich and a Polish Ham, Hungarian Salami and Cheese Sandwich. Also grabbed two cans of Ukrainian Zero Alcohol Beer. We chatted a little while she prepared my food, and she was absolutely charming. Able to enjoy both sandwiches upon return to my hotel.
