A big part of the reason is that I come in and they have too much choice! They offer products like a market, but even their lunch offering: they have the buffet choices, with a lot of variety, and then you have the deli counter that can make you any sandwich. I'm sur some of it is good enough for a workday lunch, but I can't decide, as I am sure there is at least equal parts hit and miss on the menu. So I'm looking for comments: does anyone go? What is good (if anything?)? Anything I should stay away from? Mon Nov 09 12:47:15 -0800 2009 119196 sweettoothMTL 1 5167934 I've been there a few times with my coworkers. Food is ok (average). You can compare it to cafeteria food. So, I can't say there is a ''must try'' meal. Personally, I prefer to keep walking and head to Chinatown.

I had memories of Indian type food, with veg curries and tender meats. Not really the case in Montreal. Meatballs, pasta, veg casserole, chicken, couscous... I tried it twice and found the food to be somewhat heavy, and red sauces to be very sweet; I'm guessing there's probably ketchup in there. Sandwiches are OK, tried it once. They have a lot of baked goods in the morning, greasy to my taste but with nice choices still. All in all, very average as described by FGL. I'd rather go to the Croquembouche (next to the Energie Cardio entrance in the Complexe Desjardins) for something quick rather than Marcello's.
