Cafe Solaris - Montréal

The sandwiches are to die for and the prices on the menu are really reasonable compared to big chains. Highly recommended.

It is cliche to say Never judge a book by its cover , but this holds true for one of Montreal 's hidden gems. Cafe Solaris attributes its pride in the quality of ingredients it uses rather than its flash on its front entrance. Yes! A typical looking walk in cafe with down to Earth Joes making a true living and patrons smile. You are family the minute you walk through the door. But the real reason you come is because you know you will revel in an authentic meal, whether it be a ravishing thin crust pizza tailored to your liking, ciabatta hoagies that explode with freshness and just the right amount of crunch, or one of their gargantuan salads that leave you craving your veggies. That being said, I 'd still go with the Goose Basket (a specialty gem, featuring grilled chicken and Italian sausage in a fresh salad mixture..... Yes... You read correctly sausage in a salad). The decor is not overly fancy and... But the service, hospitality, and fully fresh lunch and dinner menu far outweigh and out match any fine eatery in the city... On top of that, you won 't be burning any holes in your wallet. The two partners (Giovanni and Roberto) will ensure you come back for more again and again. It 's a winner.

My friends and I visited this restaurant on our first day in Montreal and we were very happy with our experience. We all ordered pizzas and were impressed with how delicious they were. Coming from New Jersey, we weren't sure if we would find good pizza in this area, but we were pleasantly surprised. I ordered a pizza with prosciutto and arugula and it was fantastic. One of my friends had a plain pizza, which was also excellent. The waitress was friendly and the overall atmosphere was great. This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem in Montreal.

Honestly, this restaurant has been in business since 2009 and they serve the best thin crust Italian pizzas, from prosciutto arugula to American Philly steak. But let's not forget about their famous steak and pepperoni, chicken cutlet panini on fresh ciabatta bread.

Delicious salads . Wonderful assortment of different ones to choose from .
