I wasn't asked if I wanted anything on the side with my sandwich and I wasn't inclined to ask since he didn't seem enthusiastic to do business. The filet mignon was prepped on charcoal which and was good. During the sandwich prep he was economic with the filling and being the only patron there I'd expect a nice size to my sandwich. Price was about average to what you'd expect but I've gone to the competition and their portion was bigger and service better as well.

That is, if you're willing to wait about 15 minutes or so you can get served some genuinely tasty sandwiches right in front of you during lunch/supper. There's a variety of meat, mostly tending on the middle eastern type of cuts of meat and marinades (shish-taouk, shawma, kebbe, etc.) but pretty much anything you want can be available. Supporting these smaller business is important as they are the lifeblood of the local economy. The staff was friendly and cost very reasonable. Give it a try, it's worth your time... also get dinner at the same time. :)

We split the Philly steak sandwich with Angus beef and tender mushrooms, and some other veggies, served hot. The other was smoked turkey and pesto, with spicy peppers and eggplant served on crusty bread, served panini style. We asked for no cheese (personal preference). These sandwiches were next level! Worth every penny from this bougie place we wouldn't normally go to. Sandwich perfection and friendly service. We shared a Zam Cola which was better and less chemically than Coke. Kinda like Brio. Yummy. We will be back with family from the USA for this European style experience.

Hands down best steaks in town!…read more I always pick up steaks here just before I take off for camping. Nothing beats a fresh grilled steak in the wilderness. Gotta give it to them they really do have a great selection of steaks with amazing marbling. It's always so juicy and amazing. The cool part is that they have pre made food like chimichurri brochettes, bbq ribs and souvlakia for easy grilling. The pret a manger selection at the counter is packed with goodies like (shepherds pie, Cesar salad and onion soup) I noticed that they actually have beer and wine here and they are all Quebec local brands. I love that they keep it local good eats and good drinks.

So the owner bought the business from a guy that used to be quite sloppy and lacked in cleaniness. Well the current owner revamped that and is clean and listening and trying lot of stuff and is always serving people, always rolling his stock and that's a very good thing to hear about a place where freshness is everything...or Almost. There's also quality and variety. And you he hold 60 kinds of sausages / chorizos / gendarme/ peppeto. Also a pretty interesting selection of Gluten Free sausages. The owner and his wife as pretty much always working there and being successful at it. They have love for what they do. They serve some food in the Marché de l'Ouest food court like burgers and european hotdog with home made fries. Cheap deal for quick eating. I won't go into details about every sausages I've tried there, but I have to say that half would sound about right. I like their Gluten Free sauvages, especially because it's Game Meat and I LOVE GAME MEAT. Also they have some good gluten free breakfast sausages, nothing like you would normally taste. I also like their more casual sausages like Italian, or Chorizo which are natural, no additive and freaking delicious compare to the one you buy in the super market. Smoked saucages! This is delicious! the Swiss Cheese or Debriziner which is spicy smoked german saucages is amazing. Most of the time I go to Marché de l'Ouest, I'll grab at least something to eat there and have a chat with the owner about what's new, what's the good seller of the week, etc. Le Saucissier de l'Ouest n'est pas le logo qu'on voit quand on passe devant l'endroit, c'est plus quelque chose comme WunderWurst Saucissier mais c'est l'ancien propriétaire était paresseux et pas super propre. Il a vendu son commerce à un nouveau proprio vraiment sympathique et surtout beaucoup plus propre! Si il y a un truc qui compte dans ce domaine là c'est la propreté, la fraicheur des produits et biensur la variété et la qualité du produit. Je suis content de voir que Mon Saucissier soit vraiment quelqu'un avec une belle passion pour son commerce, à l'écoute de ses clients, toujours en train de chercher de différents produits a faire essayé à ces clients. Il tient une impressionante variété de 60 sortes de saucisses sans compter Chorizo, Gendarme, pepetto. Il a en moyenne, de façon permanentes 45 sortes. Sans rentrer trop dans les détails de ce que j'ai essayé et manger, je dois dire au moins la moitié du stock qu'il a, je l'ai essayé. Quelques trucs intéressant: des saucisses sans Gluten, beaucoup d'options de gibiers et volaille. J'aime les options de saucisses fumés, la Debreziner est piquante et bonne, la fumée au fromage suisse, superbe. J'aime les classiques comme Italienne, toulouses et saucisse de déjeuner particulièrement bonne. Bonne quantités de saucisses naturelles sans additifs chimique. C'est ça qui fait que t'achètes de la saucisse a un Saucissier VS un super marché ou une «boucherie moyenne». C'est vraiment une bonne place où l'on peut se procurer des Burgers ou des hot dog européens avec des frites maison! Vraiment très bonne! Vraiment un bon marché, pas cher. Allez y faire un tour, ça vaut vraiment le coup.

Before going to Vito's I never thought that there could be such variations in the taste of a cut of pork...now I know. Service is always warm and friendly. These guys also have a great memory for faces. I only go there 8 or 10 times per year and they always seem to remember me and most of their customers. It's also the only place I know of where I can get my fix of authentic Italian Limonata (not the one made in the States).

Honestly, whenever we are in the mood for steak, we'd rather go buy their marinated bavette and cook at home instead of going out. The marinade is very simple (oil, paprika, steak spice, salt, pepper) and not overpowering. With a cast-iron pan and some animal fat for frying, you can make a restaurant quality meal in no time. Another great thing about this place are the wonderful Italian products they import. The other day, Dino had me try some special Mortadella he had imported (the name escapes me). It was soft, perfectly flavoured and melt-in-your mouth good. If you're looking for a butcher in the Plateau/Mile-End, look no further. Chez Vito ranks among the top 3 butchers in the city and his prices are very reasonable.

I must say, their selection of quiches is wonderful, and they are all amazingly good. We usually also find niche foods, and I always get a gourmet fine chocolate bar for my neighbors back home in Vancouver, too (my neighbors are chocolate connoisseurs of sorts, so it's not as if I can get them an Oh Henry bar lol). In the past, I've also gotten many a bottle of Gibby's salad dressing here. (I love how this store sells condiments from local well-known restaurants, like Gibby's, Joe Beef, Mandy's, etc. It's a great place to get food gifts from Montreal). Yesterday I was in the area and popped in to get a few bottles of said salad dressing but I couldn't find it anywhere. I asked a lady who was working there, in the aisles, where this item was located, and she looked at me as if I was from Mars, asking me in French if I spoke French. She clearly did not speak or understand English and my French is sorely lacking. I was able to convey "salad" and "Gibby's",but I don't know how to say "salad dressing". She totally shrugged me off and went back to her work, as if I was a bothersome but ignorable annoyance. I have to admit, this rubbed me the wrong way. I've lived in the USA and in Vancouver now for so many years, I'm sorry if my French isn't great, but I'm trying. If I'm a paying customer at a store and I'm trying, but you don't understand me, it'd be common courtesy - not to mention good business sense - for you to get a fellow employee who DOES understand English. This interaction reminded me of past experiences here when the cashier was aloof (at best). Maybe the employees are like this with ALL English-speaking customers? I don't know. For me, though, I see a pattern. If you are visiting from out of town, and/or if you don't speak French well, I think I'd advise you to skip this store, despite the wonderful gourmet foods they have here. You sure won't get a feel for warm "Montreal hospitality" here, that's for sure. Oh, and they no longer carry Gibby's salad dressings, too - at least, I don't think they do.
