Somebody in line then mentioned that there is a "to-go" counter right next to the sit-down restaurant. This line moved pretty fast. I went with the classic hot smoked meat sandwich. It looks deceptively small, but it's a solid serving for lunch for one person. I was pretty hungry and struggled to finish it. If you try to eat your way through all that Montreal has to offer, this stop is worth it!

Ordered food , ok rigid in substitution but understandable to certain extend. Than came the food , got the smoked meat plate. Nice medium fat cuts , nice taste a tiny part of a pickle and very small portion of coleslaw , disappointing . Had also the chicken burger combo. Came with onion and relish instead of lettuce , tomato and mayonnaise. Told the waitress nothing was dine but sorry for that. My daughter enjoyed her poutine and pizza (to share) was ok for her . We also had the cheese burger combo. Came with (guess what) onion and relish. Surprise no tomato no, no pickles and without cheese. This time we insisted to be corrected had a piece of tomato in a plate with half a slice of cheese ( wait what !!! They cut the cheese square in two for a cheese burger) . Got ok onion rings instead of the fries (3$ extra) . We were really hungry so imagine our disappointment. The waitress spilled my coke (half of it) was waiting for another drink but as expected a sorry was all what i had . My younger daughter told me dad i want to a food critic so she warn other foodies about her experience . (Shes 8) . Her review: burger tasteless, onion ring oily and needed salt, pizza is good but not the best , good cheese amount and mushrooms but lack olives. Cane time to pay (at the register, handed out the total on a piece of paper , had to insist on having the actual bill ; 6$ of unexplained charges and a 2 topping (mushroom and olives) pizza charged as all dressed (ok that's how they consider it) the other charges were for a drink we didn't have and an unexplained (divers) Got a refund for the errors (after insisting) as they expected a sorry to do the trick as with the order errors). I doubt i will step up foot in that place again . Not recommended.

Great selection of breakfast and lunch sandwiches.

It's also the worst cause nobody else does club sandwich. The club is made with light toasted (read nearly still white and soft) white chicken salad. They give you a small cup of mayo that seems to be miracle whip or something like that vinaigery mayo. I didn't like it. Was bland. At least the tomato and lettuce seems fresh. Maybe I should try something else but if you're craving club, get out of Carrefour Laval and go somewhere else.
