This place, simply put, makes the best sandwiches I've ever had the pleasure of consuming. The menu is downright expansive, the prices are great (given the quality of ingredients), and the owners and staff are awesome. Seriously, you can walk in there, order anything on the menu, and walk away happy. My personal favorites are the Paisano (best pastrami ever) and the Mai Thai (spicy peanutbutter and bacon are all you need). Seriously, go eat there, you won't regret it. The only downsides: - You have to wait a bit for your sandwich (especially if they're busy, and they always are around lunch). - The ventilation is kinda weak, so you may come out smelling like the place if you're not getting your sandwich to go (it's worth it, don't worry). - There isn't a ton of seating. read more

Legit the BEST service EVER, always super busy but that's for a reason these people really know what their doing here! Absolutely love them!

This place is amazing! The staff is wonderful and the food is always yummy! We are teachers in the area and Greg takes such good care of us every time we come in. If you are in a hurry, call them and they will have it ready for you whenever you want it. We have about 40 min for lunch and they accommodate us every time! The sandwiches are all amazing and they have such a wide variety... I have yet to sample the entire menu. Their soup is always great for the cold winter days and they keep you updated daily of the choices through their Facebook page. Greg keeps his store full of beer and cigars that we like to take with us for after hours ;) Our only complaint is that we wish they were open just a little bit longer during the day so we could stop on our way home from work to bring food home to the family. This is our weekly choice because of the amazing food and wonderful staff! Keep up the good work!!! read more

When I worked down in Valley View, I would frequent Gourmand's for breakfast and lunch. Whether it was a nice chai tea latte - bigger than and cheaper than what you'd get at Starbucks - and a muffin or one of their salads or their sandwiches or their soups, anything I had was delicious! Greg and Andrea really bring a lot of creativity to the table, with fun named sandwiches and odd creations. Who would think that putting bacon and peanut butter together (for their My Thai sandwich) would be good? As absurd as it sounds, it's delicious! If I'm on that side of town for lunch, it's at the top of my list for places to go! read more

They have the best breakfast sandwiches and really good coffee and smoothies! When I worked in the area, it was an every morning MUST. The owners and staff are so nice and it's easy to get caught up in a conversation with them. :) Also, check out the beer collection! read more

My husband goes here all the time for lunch since he works nearby. I've been wanting to go for so long but it's not open for lunch on the weekends. Finally we got a big snow one day so I played hooky to come here. It is such a cute local place. I got the no phoney baloney which was very good. The hubs says the best sandwich he has had is the gourmand. read more

See all

Very tasty and fresh I got a BLT and soup combo The BLT was 90% bacon and 10% everything else which in my book is a win and the soup! I got the chicken and rice soup and it was amazing- fresh, homemade. Tasted almost like my grandmas soup. Regardless it was everything I wanted in a soup- hearty, warm, filling and most of all tasty read more

In a deep valley this neighborhood gives the illusion of being surrounded by mountains. The canal can pass as a mountain creek. This area is a testament that China or no China industry thrives in Cleveland. Other than the striking bridges of the bicycle trail the architecture here is about as pleasing as Florida carports. For the many who work in the area Gourmand's is one of several lunch destinations. Gourmand's is a very busy place, with small tables squashed together, very little floor space available for ordering, waiting to pay or picking up carry out. On one visit I got up to get a Coke and someone took my seat. On the bright side there is no room for children to run around terrorizing while inept mothers look on adoringly. The main events are countless unique sandwiches. On my last visit I had a so called Chicago Beef. It was definitely not a Chicago Beef. It was not beef long simmered in a broth with Italian seasonings and pepperoncini. It was a big sandwich with excellent roast beef topped with pickled jalapenos and giardiniera served with a container of au jus gravy. Gourmand's has a wide array of drinks including Italian sodas and unusual bottled iced teas. It is necessary to wait in two lines. First to place your order then to pay. I am past the age where small things upset me but those who anger easily may find having to wait twice frustrating. This is an excellent place for well made sandwiches at a reasonable price for the area's workers. The friendly people who work here seem to know almost every body. For those who work in this area or who come for business, Gourmand's is the place to be at lunch. read more

A favorite place of mine for lunch in Cleveland. I feel very lucky that it is so close to my company's Cleveland location--I rely on it for catered business lunches, a quick bite to eat, and a place to jog to at lunch for a smoothie or tart cherry shot (the cherry shot and wheat grass shots, by the way, are excellent and make you feel super healthy!). I like that this place is local and doesn't feel corporate and soulless like other fast casual lunch places that are just chains. They also are very knowledgeable about what they are serving and happy to answer any questions I have. It is advised that you call ahead during the busy lunch hour and then pick up your sandwich ready to go once you get there. read more

Cajun Redfish sandwich- this about my 5th time of coming here and 4th of getting this sandwich. Flavor and texture explosion. Pure heaven. So glad I found it and it's 0.2 miles from the office I'm working from. I LOVE it! Amazing. read more

Gourmand's - Cajun Redfish sandwich - Delis Near Me - Valley View, Ohio

I had to bump this place up because the food and people there are so awesome. They have a GREAT mix of fantastic coffees in the morning, I think six are going on any given time. The price is pretty reasonable, and they're always so friendly in the morning. The FOOD is even better, broken down by type (chicken beef veg etc) on various menu boards on the back wall. It would take about 10 minutes to read them all =) I try to vary it up every time - and quite honestly I have never had a bad experience there. Everything is exceptionally fresh, with great bread, and other unique items that not every deli/ sammich shop provides. The owners or whoever is always there will even customize it for you, offer advice, and BS while you're waiting for the well prepared food. OH and there's also Beer and decent cigars and wine! The only down side - for those who don't work in Independence Tower... Its at the bottom of the hill on Granger, and I don't know how they get any business on the weekends. Also price is fair for the quality you're getting, but expect to drop around $7 for $10 worth of deliciousness. read more

Ordered four different sandwiches, argued about which was best because they all were. You pay for quality, but nothing we ordered was overpriced. Beautiful place, and picked up some great ale on the way out. Will return soon. Sandwiches and pineapple really do mix, but only before 3 pm. read more

Went there for the first time yesterday; amazing but get there early! I arrived about 11:15 and was able to order and sit down to eat, but the place filled up quick! Amazing sandwich (Cajun Chicken) and good selection of chips and beverages. All on the honor system, just pay for what you ate on your way out the door. Highly recommended!! read more

This place is a hidden gem. Unless you work in the are you've probabky never had the chance to eat there, but it's worth the trip. Great sandwiches and salads and if you want a wine, beer, or cigar recommendation Greg can hook you up. They are very busy for lunches so calling ahead is probably a good idea. I can't pick a favorite sandwich, they have too many good ones! read more

This place is a great lunch spot. I don't think I've ever had a bad experience here. Great coffee selection- breakfast sandwiches- lunch sandwiches- and beyond. I love this place- and everyone who works there is super friendly. Highly recommend- especially if you want to support local business. read more

This place is fantastic. I have yet to find a sandwich I don't like, and they have a huge selection. The pulled pork is my favorite. I make a point to eat here whenever I am in the area for lunch. The lunch crowd can be heavy, so I suggest getting there by 11:30. Otherwise you could be in for a 20-30 min wait for your sandwich. But the wait is well worth it. You could also order ahead for carryout to avoid the wait. Also, they are good recyclers. read more

Food is great and always fresh, Cajun redfish sandwich is really good! Salads are a great size and the veggies are always fresh and crisp. Breakfast is good also, I love their croissant sandwiches and the coffee variety. Service is great everyone is always friendly, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting if you're dining in. I wish they stayed open later but if they had longer hours everything probably wouldn't be as good. I grew up in the area and I love the location because it's kind of a cool community secret. The customers are a diverse mix of old, young, white, black, white collar and blue. So overall great food, great service and great atmosphere. read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat! The menu includes many breakfast and lunch options that I'm obsessed with! Every thing I've ordered has always been freshly made and done to perfection. The staff is always so kind and friendly even when it's busy. Whenever I come here I'm never disappointed. read more

This was a great place for lunch. My boss and I split a fajita wrap and pulled pork. The wrap was tasty and grilled to perfection. The pork was decent, a nice taste. The sauces were fantastic! BBQ and whatever they give for the amazing potatoe chippers. Four stars and will definitely be back, I recommend this spot to anyone looking for a good lunch or early dinner! read more

Gourmand's - Pulled pork and amazing potatoe chippers. - Delis Near Me - Valley View, Ohio

Why the hell I have wasted time and money eating at chain sandwich joints on Rockside Rd is beyond me. Thanks P.W. for writing a review that sent me straight here. *Extensive* sandwich menu from turkey, chicken, pork, veggie, beef, salads, sides, wow. A nice little wine shop, too! Big chip selection (including my fave brands of Zapp's and Dirty chips). Kudos to this independently run, family-owned business. I got the turkey club on toasted ciabatta and it delivered. They serve their sandos toasted so if you want it cold, speak up. I wouldn't say the smoked turkey is high quality (I would guess Sara Lee) so a big bummer for that... next time I will opt for one of the house meats for a better quality play but I dig a small place like this and I will be back. read more

We went there almost every day for lunch when we worked in the area. The food was always good and the service was fast. Highly recommended. read more

Classic example of a bad restaurant. The air quality was poor and there was a distinct smell of stale, moldy air. The menu included a seemingly good variety. The execution was very poor, and was seemingly pulled out of a can. I did not eat my meal. It was a cold, tasteless, and served in a plate with poor hygienic's and by someone that did not seem to like their job, indeed the service staff looked like they were borrowed from a cheap soviet era themed scene. They served meals on plates that looked as if they had not been washed in weeks . All four of us sitting at the table agreed this place was overdue for an inspection by Department of Public Health. read more

This place is great! Their sandwiches are excellent as are the homemade chips and cookies(turtle cookies are the best!) I love anything made with their turkey... It's great! My favorite sandwich is the Hawaii-five-O. There aren't many places that even compare to this. read more

I love this place!! I have never had anything here that wasn't extremely tasty. The Owners are SSOOO incredibly nice, and helpful. You MUST try the chips!!!! I dream about them!! It may be small, and you are elbow to elbow with others, but you really can't do better. Since I work nearby, and work weekends, I really wish they were open then too. You really need to try the "All Italian" at least once in your life. read more

Fantastic food. Fantastic people. I plan to eat my way through this menu. I've eaten the Polish Steak, the Hawaiian 5 Oh, and the Bueno Puerco. Big lunch crowds; plan to wait a bit. Completely worth it, though! read more

Such a great place! High quality food, cozy atmosphere, and such friendly people... I thoroughly enjoyed my turkey club and hope to make a repeat visit again soon!! read more

This little off the beaten path deli is our new favorite. They have been in business for 18 years and finally checked them out. Fun beer selection, great wine deals. Delicious coffee's, sandwiches. Bagels, and muffins. Greg the owner is charming, and funny. read more

This place has always taken care of me every single time I've gone. Whether at 6:30 in the morning when I can't decide which amazing coffee to pick out or during the noon rush. Amazing food that never disappoints and an incredible staff. Their smoothies are fantastic, their sandwiches are fantastic, and their breakfast is fantastic. If in doubt, eat here. read more

This place is incredible. I found it on Yelp and thought I'd try it out. I've now been back about 8 times since. Each time I try something new and bring someone new. Everything I've tried has been great and everyone I've brought loves it. The staff is very friendly and personable. If you're going once, I recommend the no phoney bologna. Can't go wrong. read more

I rarely give five stars to a casual dining spot. I usually reserve the five star ratings for fine dining choices. I have been going to Gourmands for a LONG time, and have never taken the time to write a review. After leaving there today, I realized they deserve a few minutes of my time. If you are looking for cookie cutter food, service and ambiance.....go elsewhere. If you are looking for great simple food, service with an attitude (and that is meant as a big compliment) and a special treat like a six pack of craft beer, a specially selected bottle of wine, or maybe an equally hand selected cigar....Gourmands is your place. If you live or work locally....make this a regular spot. If you are just passing through.....you will not be disappointed. read more

I always hear coworkers raving about this place, so I decided to stop in for lunch today. First impressions upon walking in were that it was a little small, clean and very busy. They have a huge selection of sandwiches, soups, salads and bakery to choose from. Everything is fresh. While placing my order, I was warned that it would be a 20 minute wait for sandwiches. That was fine with me. I went ahead and ordered a Ruben, along with a side of beer battered onion rings. While waiting I noticed that they also sell beer, wine and cigars. It took almost exactly 20 minutes before my name was called, I grabbed my food and took it back to work. The onion rings were awesome. You could tell that they use fresh onions, batter and clean oil to fry them. First thing I thought when I took the Ruben out of the bag was wow, this thing is HUGE!". They definitely do not skimp on meats and other ingredients. I ended up giving half of the sandwich away. I knew that if I tried to eat the other half I would be in a food coma for the rest of the day. Needless to say this may become a regular spot. The food is awesome. read more

This place is soooo good. I have to restrain myself from going to often because the sandwiches are delicious. Make sure to order the potato chippers with any meal. What tips it off is the staff. No matter how busy they are, they're always nice and kind. This place can get busy for lunch but that's what you expect from a great place like this. I recommend everything! read more

Been coming to this place off and on since '98 when my office was just up the hill. Now days I'm only over in this area every couple of weeks but whenever I get a craving for a BLT, I go to Gormand's. Hands down the best BLT in Cleveland area. Loaded with hot, flavorful bacon, crispy lettuce, and ripe tomato (which can be hard to find in off season), all on perfectly toasted bread. I feel bad because they have a great selection of sandwiches but I always get the same thing, my beloved BLT. I've also used this place for catering; ordered big variety sandwich tray and side dishes for lunch presentation at customer; food was well prepared and fresh, and ready when they said it would be. There's a reason this place is still around,and I'll keep going back. read more

Driving down Granger Road, I heard a "Get-Go" advertisement for a pulled pork sandwich. Being a pulled pork connoisseur, my mouth started salivating. POW! Right in front of me was Gourmand's Deli on Canal Road... YES! They had pulled pork! My lunch ticket just got punched. Tender, right off the bone pork. Sauce was seasoned just right with a not-to-tangy flavor. Just writing this review makes me wish I had bought another one for dinner tonight. Lots of wine and if you're ready for this, CHOICE CIGARS! What a treat as I drove home from my appointment. I will continue to be a patron of the best deli in the area. read more

This place is an absolute must try if your in the area for lunch. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the people working there are about as pleasant as it gets. Aside from the good selection of unique beers, wines, and cigars, the food in my opinion is one of the best sandwiches in the area. Despite other people telling me how wonderful the other sandwiches are, I can't seem to get over the chicken club. It is a chicken breast breaded to perfection with cheese, ranch, lettuce, tomato, and bacon!! They even put this heavenly creation on a toasted croissant! You can definitely taste the fresh ingredients. Keep up the good work. read more

Great sandwiches, Greg the owner has created a great atmosphere. Nothing but good things to say. I usually get a chicken sandwich with cheese, grilled onions, and peppers, but not a shortage of other tasty items. Did buy a couple cigars and they were good also. read more

It's my first time in Cleveland and by some stroke of awesome luck my team put me in charge of the food. We didn't have time to do much other than work and eat, so needless to say I took my job very seriously. Gourmand's is truly a gem and definitely worth checking out (or frequenting) while you're in Cleveland! The outside is pretty unassuming as it is located in a small shopping plaza behind Burger King but inside you can find cigars, beer, and some of the best deli sandwiches I've ever had. Personally, I tried the mad cow and the old smokey and both were fantastic! I don't know what else to say other than I'm from Florida...the land of Boar's Head...and this place's deli meat was..dare I say...better. Oh and the toasted ciabatta! Yum! It's tough to please a crowd of 8 people but I can honestly say everyone was happy with what they ordered (twice) this week. Within our group we had the BLT, the Reuben, and the pork cutlet sandwich among others. They also gave us pickles and candy with our to-go food :) If you're in town, go to Gourmand's! I'm looking forward to eating the banana nut bread I grabbed on my way out and visiting y'all again. Thank you! read more

Just stopped in for breakfast. The food is to die for! I would've posted a picture but it was devoured in minutes. This deli is such a hidden gem. I came in feeling under the weather and the owner gave me a cup of tea on the house. They have something here for everyone. Can't wait to stop in again. They should definitely put a location in Treemont. read more

Very nice selection on their menu, and they are superfriendly here. Prices reflect the quality that is on the menu, it's definatly not subway in prices, not it is their quality- everything is better. The zucchini fries are delicious, and I don't even like zucchini (until now). I've only had a couple sandwiches and sampled my friends, and all have been great. Love the toppings they jazz it up with, they have a Thai that has peanut butter, turkey with chutney, and sweet onion relish on some. Their hours aren't great, they close at 3 weekdays, and aren't open weekends, but if you get your but in for lunch, you won't regret it. They have a great selection of beer, desserts, and even cigars, not to mention a plethora of tea and coffee. If their prices were a little lower it would be a five star place for sure, but even given the high quality, they seem a little higher than they need to on everything, especially for the location. read more

This place is fantastic. They serve some great sandwich combinations. Well priced for what you are getting. If you eat there, they serve all sides on the honor system. Bring your chip bag and drink to the counter and pay after. Kind of cool since most places wouldnt think of doing that. If ordering lunch takeout, call ahead. It could be a longer wait than expected. read more
