Lido - L'Ile-Bizard—Sainte-Genevieve

Absolutely the best coffee shop in Verdun. Having a coffee and one of their pistachio cannoli has become a weekly treat for me. Their chicken parmesan sandwich is amazing as well. Make sure to ask for it spicy.

I have had the pleasure of visiting this Italian cafe every Saturday for the past few weeks, and I must say, it has quickly become my go-to place for an espresso macchiato to go. As soon as you step inside, you are greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The attentive staff members are always friendly and make you feel welcomed.Now, let's talk about the food. Oh, the cannoli! These little delights are truly delicious. It's no wonder they are the restaurant's pride and joy. But that's not all—let's not forget about the bomboloni. These fluffy, sugar-coated Italian donuts are simply irresistible. The moment you take a bite, you're transported to the streets of Florence, savoring the sweet flavors that make Italian pastries so renowned.In addition to the standout desserts, the cafe offers a selection of pizzas, sandwiches and arancini. Buon appetito!

Food was delicious. The pizza, arancini, focaccia, and canolis were super tasty. Fabulous service. Grazie

Had the homemade sausage and the prosciutto sandwiches here and they were probably the best Italian sandwiches I've ever had. The ingredients were fresh and high quality, everything worked well together. We sat outside on the small tables to enjoy the weather and the nice vibe on the street. Best of all, prices were reasonable.

Ciao, fellow food enthusiasts! Let me tell you about my latest Italian culinary adventure, a charming little gem that has stolen my heart and taste buds: Cafe Lido, Verdun!Now, I don't usually write reviews like that, but when I stumbled upon this place a couple of times recently, I knew it was time to spread the word about this hidden treasure.Nestled on a busy Wellington street in Verdun, it boasts a touch of our Little Italy for me.The moment you step inside, you're welcomed like an old friend returning home. The great people running the place are like the nonna and nonno you never knew you needed in your life, and their passion for Italian cuisine shines through in every homemade dish they serve.Speaking of homemade, everything here is made with love and care. As someone who lived on sandwiches for a good 10 years of my life (don't judge me), I can confidently say that their sandwiches are out of this world! Move over PB&J, because the sandwiches at Cafe Lido are on a whole other level.Now, let's talk about their piece de resistance: the homemade sausage sandwich. It's a recipe passed down from an Italian grandpa 60 years ago, and it has been polished and refined to perfection over six decades. One bite, and you'll understand why it's an Italian family secret worth sharing.Oh, and did I mention their croissant with ham and cheese for breakfast? Sublime! It's like they've taken a classic French delight and sprinkled it with Italian magic. It's the perfect way to start the day, and I may have gone back for breakfast three days in a row.This place is officially my go-to spot for authentic sandwiches.To the lovely folks at Cafe Lido: Grazie mille for creating such a delightful experience. You've earned yourself a loyal customer, and I can't wait to return to sample more of your mouthwatering offerings. Bravo! ???
