Club sandwich kinds of diners in Montreal - 1 of 2…read more I found Restaurant Lafayette as a side effect of going to look for Troisieme Tasse coffeehouse about a block away from Metro Papineau. Troisieme Tasse's locale appeared to be empty and had leasing signs on its vitrines. As I walked back to the Metro realizing I needed to get coffee elsewhere, I saw Lafayette unobtrusively occupying a corner and almost directly across from the Metro station. I filed it away in my head to look it up and see what they had to offer. Lafayette checked out just fine on review sites, so I went in to eat lunch another day. As you walk in, it's a little long in the tooth, but that adds some character to Lafayette. It has the big booths and, as a bonus, its sitting on a corner allows it to have many booths next to windows. It looked like there was quite a bit to choose from, so it could have been that I was overwhelmed. That said, I settled on a club sandwich and a soft drink. I sure have eaten a lot of club sandwiches in the province of Quebec, with all of them being plentiful and satisfying. I've eaten them in Montreal, in Quebec City, and even smack in between the two in Trois-Rivieres. In fact, there used to be a place called Le Club Sandwich about a block or so west of Papineau for which the site, complete with the tacky building occupying it, has given way to gentrification. Lafayette has a good feel ... sort of like a worn and comfortable shoe. The service was also "comfortable," for lack of a better word, but not at all worn, or world weary. By this I mean that it was informal and good-natured, almost as if in a small town. The prices were in the ballpark for this genre and for having an in-town Montreal location close to the city center. The club sandwich was very good. I was very happy with that choice - almost always safe and almost always tasty and filling. Restaurant Lafayette has been around a long time and local folks as regulars is a good sign. I would eat here again and, with a location between Centre-Ville and the Jacques-Cartier Bridge and being so close to a Metro station, it would make it even more likely.

The sandwich I got today was pastrami and it was good. It was a nice change from my usually fast food meals but it did hit the spot. They do have a lot of mayos to choose from but they don't tell you what's in them so best to ask. I got Miami which tasted like curry and then a biggie one that tasted mine a bad Big Mac sauce.

Oh mon Dieu. La nourriture était si bonne ici…read more Nous avons commandé : * Crêpe épinards et suisse - Servie avec montagne de fruits et café * Bénédictine Champignons et Brie - 2 oeufs pochés servis sur muffin anglais avec champignons et brie, le tout nappé de sauce Hollandaise, et servis avec montage de fruits frais, pommes de terre et café * L'Omelette du Marché - tomates, oignons, épinards, poivrons et champignons, servie avec pommes de terre, fruits de décoration, rôties, et café * La Soupe du Jour - Soupe aux Légumes * Le Crêpe Sucré - Crêpe avec bananes et chocolat J'ai vraiment aimé la crêpe à la banane et au chocolat pour le dessert. Honnêtement, la serveuse était si gentille et amicale avec nous que nous l'avons vraiment apprécié. J'ai aimé la quantité de fruits servis dans un bol et cela m'a fait tellement plaisir de remarquer la présentation de leurs différentes couleurs qui était si belle. De plus, la soupe du jour - la soupe aux légumes - était l'une de mes choses préférées en raison de la combinaison de saveurs, un peu sucrée et juste un peu salée et un peu piquante. Tout était tellement incroyable.

The menu is entirely in French. They take card. And the local vibe and hospitality was amazing. The coffee was unlimited refills . The fruit was all fresh, bright, precut, and generous. The portion is definitely value and caters to locals. We ordered a 2 crepes: savory (ham, cheese, and asparagus) and a sweet fruit and chocolate one. We also ordered an omelette, salmon bagel plate, and a cream French toast. The cream French toast is we able amazing texture with cream and the omelette comes with a wonderful fluffy whole wheat bread. Don't sleep on such a wonderful local gem.
