Best subs in Montreal?

[NSDS]

Any suggestions for the best submarine sandwich places?

Thanks

I was on Monk today and tried their sub at Pizza Nino.
I went for the house speciality the MAESTRO
It was good and looked like a huge pizza that you rolled into a sandwich. The price was 16$+2.40 tax = $18.40 for a 14 inch
In my opinion that was a one time deal for me as for their sub. Maybe try something else if in area again.

I didn't find any unique taste in their sub. I actually think that you can find similar subs all over. Their homemade bread wasn't special and tasted like pizza dough.

For a lunch sandwich I thought it was pretty expensive. I was hungry and ate the whole thing but it can be a meal for 2 because they put alot of stuff in there. Like an all dressed pizza if you want plus steak.

The waitress was chatty and pretty nice lady. service was very nice.

Another great sub spot is Gigi in Little Italy. Their bread is more like a baguette which makes for an interesting contrast. They used to be on St-Laurent but have relocated to St-Zotique.

man you guys need to get out east a bit more. the best subs in the city are all in italian places east of pie-ix

they're all standard italian subs, fried onions, eggplants, your choice of meat but they beat the hell out of any other ones that i've had in this city. To mention subway and quiznos is sacrilege.

cafe milano is solid
ciociaros is awesome
bologna's fantastic
and al's in rdp was good from my memory though it's been a bit

finally if you don't wanna come east Bocci in ville lasalle as well a solid offering

there's also another place in st.leo that makes fantastic subs i believe it's called victoria's but im not 100% sure

ciociaro's also has a location on st.viateur, not as good as the st.leo subs but it satisfies me late at night.

Here's where the big question arise? are these subs or italian sandwiches.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I would not call Milano a sub but more of an Italian café serving sandwiches. Are hey authentic Italian sandwiches?

Don't know about Ciociaros, bolognas, Al's or Bocci. Please provide more info like adresses and tel numwer.

A verry good sub is Momesso (the north-american way if we can tag it that way)

Bocci

1756 Avenue Dollard, LaSalle, QC H8N 1T8

Bocci and Campagnola, a few doors away, are owned by lighthearted rival cousins. Their sadwiches are basically riffs on Momesso. Both places make their own sausage and bake their own bread and both make a very tasty hot sauce (a ground red pepper sauce with oil. Different from Momesso's green chile and much more flavorful).

Bocci, open for lunch&dinner, you can see their sub listing here

Campagnola interestingly enough started as an Italian grocery/deli and began selling sandwiches from the back. I think they were selling more sandwiches than anything else, so opened a small resto next door. Soon, the whole grocery section was removed to make way for the expanding restaurant. Sandwiches still being their signature dish.

Things change.

I think Campagnola wanted to distance themselves from the sandwich concept and be considered a family-run, destination restaurant (which they are IMO).

So if you have a gander at their web menu,

http://www.lacampagnola.ca/lacampagnola_english.html

you won't see any sandwiches, but they do appear on the catering menu

http://www.lacampagnola.ca/catering.pdf

I'm sure they (Joe or Dino) will make a sandwich to your specifications if asked

but...they're not open for lunch (dinner only).

Which is better sandwich-wise?

I'm not sure...

thanks for the info. Will stop and try when in the area.

Bocci has the discussed items under submarine and campagnola under sandwiches.

The questions remains what's a submarine, a Hoagie, Hero, or Sub. ? The shape, the area or the ingredients? I know that a panini for us in north-america has nothing to do with a panini in Italy. (I'm just kinlling time at work wondering about what I'll eat tionight lol).

this must be a pretty bad city for subs as quiznos, subway and dagwoods have no place in this thread...

my favorite sub was from Terri's in Brossard. They had a few locations in the 90's. I think it was like 7$ for a 14" and they always had a 2-1 promotion going on. Was the most unhealthy, decadent thing imaginable. The "bread" was really pizza dough and the sheer volume of toppings was insane. My favorite was steak + steak + brown sauce. That's right, steak as the first and second ingredient.

"this must be a pretty bad city for subs as quiznos, subway and dagwoods have no place in this thread..."
- I know what you mean by this, however....
I mentioned Quiznos as a warning. I feel that knowing where *not* to go is sometimes just as important as where to go and therefore has some merits on this thread.

[fredmir]

Does anybody know of cold sub`s beside Dagwood??

[Chocolatesa]

Personally I liked Quiznos the few times I went there. I still prefer Dagwoods though.

[Ghostquatre]

Btw is it just me, or does it seem to be a little ridiculous to be paying over 10$ for a 7 inch sandwich?

[SnackHappy]

Depends on the sandwich.

[Shattered]

Absolutely. I love subs but they're terrible value, especially in comparison to how cheap most food is in Mtl. $14 to get a full sub? And it doesn't even come with fries or a drink? Gimme a break. I can eat the best smoked meat in the world + sides for that money. I ate at Jano's the other day for less. And unlike a sub, I can't make that stuff on my own at home.

[westaust]

14$ for a 14 inches sub made fresh to order is not a bad deal when compared to a footlong steak & cheese from subway which will cost you 10$

[Werzoth]

Subway real prices :
Selection is 6.99 for 12 inches
Signature is 8.49 for 12 inches

[C70]

not to mention that those really aren;t montreal-style subs. nor are they any good!

[j_do]

seriously. that processed steak from subway.. "steak bits" they keep in those tiny white cardboard trays.. just doesn't qualify as a steak sub IMO.

[westaust]

If you want to be that picky with details

Subway will cost you 9.67 taxes in for their signature sandwiches (12 inches), at manzo's you'll pay 13.50 tax in if you pick it up at the counter for the steak and cheese sub (14 inches)

[Werzoth]

Oops nevermind I read incorrectly when you posted. My bad!

[maj54us]

I remember 20 years ago when I was a teenager we had Mikes submarines that still exist today but is just too stupidly expensive now.

So anyway had a moment of nostalgia and went for a superstar submarine. I asked for the 14 inch when I received the bill a freaked. it was with taxes almost 26$. I told the guy what the hell is that? The subs for 14inches was $17.20. That is the last time I ate there. I had in mind that I would pay 12-15$ with a pop. No it was 20$ without any drink 23$ with the tips. Boy I should have asked for the menu and not order the subs from memory.

[porker]

Went to Quiznos for the first time this week (Dic Anns was closed next door). The place looked efficient, good concept, but the sub I had (a shaved beef kind of sandwich) was meh. The bread (you get a choice of 4 types) was good, but that was the extent of it. The sandwich was overpowered by a BBQ sauce (I was hoping for a philly cheese steak type sandwich) and didn't have much flavor otherwise.
Based on this, I ain't going back (OK OK maybe its not a definitive sample size to make the decision, but its just my opinion. I generally don't like chains to begin with...).

[Werzoth]

I tried many subs at Quiznos and they all feel overpowered like you mentioned, so it's not just you. I'm not going back there personally.

[Ghostquatre]

Had the steak sub at copoli near metro vendome. The filling is nice, although quite basic (lettuce, mozzarella, tomatos, onions (not listed on the menu), pickles and italian dressing (not drowning in it). There was quite a lot of meat and it was well seasoned. The bread was your typical sub bread, but it was toasted well on the outside. It came to about 10$ tax included for 7inch.

I only wish Momesso's had better bread. I like the filling but sadly the bread's just ho hum standard white submarine buns - at least the last time I went.

Pizza Nikkos on 4279 St Jean has great subs

Royal Submarine on bernard and st laurent is a classic greasy spot.

[chrisincyul]

Agree 100% Manzo is my favorite too

[dyslexicpimp]

Used to love Manzo's but seems they are living off their rep for far too long now. Had a manzo's special last week and was soaked with dressing/grease. Each time I picked up the sandwich it would stream out the bag, major turn-off.
