I do my little tour occasionally when I pass in the area, and it's always the same good taste! One thing is certain, at Wilensky, nothing changes and we like it that way!Parking: Several restaurants nearby, including the famous St-Viateur bagel, and the cannery, which means that at lunchtime, there is not much room to park.

Bought a special with a vanilla egg cream. We loved the egg cream! The sandwich was enjoyable too. We took the food outside and sat on a stoop and ate. It was a really nice time.

Amazing food! Fast friendly service. There's a reason they have been open almost 100 years. They just know what they are going with a simple menu, no need to change what clearly works. Get the wilensky special with cheddar chesses with extra mustard and the sour pickles. Top that off with any flavor of soda and your set up for an unforgettable lunch.

The best breakfast sandwich ever in Montreal " the special with Swiss or Cheddar cheese" with a sour pickle and the homemade cherry cola. An experience like nothing else ✨️.

What can you say about a place that’s been in business since 1932? They are obviously doing it right. Great sandwiches and the soda fountain drinks are made to order! Staff are great!

Visited on the basis of a Reddit community recommendation and I’m so glad we did. Totally authentic, the owners were so friendly and welcoming.We tried the Wilensky special, and we tried one of each cheese, both were great. Also the chocolate milk was delicious! Thanks!Something to note as a tourist, you will need cash!

Finally, I visited the renowned place, with plenty of history and tradition inside. The food was good, served quickly, but I missed a more welcoming service.

It is a Montreal landmark that I finally got to try. The sandwich is very good. Service very fast. Old school charm. There is no tipping so any money received goes to charities
