Wilensky's Light Lunch

"Located in the Mile End area, Wilensky’s Light Lunch serves unfussy sandwiches and fountain sodas." Full review

"Faded turquoise walls, scratched laminate counter-tops and old-fashioned fountain drinks."

"Their grilled salami and bologna sandwiches on a Pletzl roll with mustard continue to attract a steady flow to the simple lunch counter."

"Inexpensive Jewish corner-shop and tiny diner."

"The Wilensky Special, which the Montréal Gazette declared one of the iconic dishes of Montréal, includes bologna and three types of salami and costs around $4. "

"Wilensky's is a perfectly appointed time capsule, with a classic lunch counter and a working soda fountain from which Sharon drew my first-ever chocolate egg cream, a drink I'd only ever heard my Brooklyn-born dad wax lyrical about"

"ilensky's has been a Montréal tradition since 1932 and has its share of regular pilgrims nostalgic for its grilled-meat sandwiches, low prices, curt service, and utter lack of decor." Full review
