Super Sandwich

 Super Sandwiches is not a glamorous place. But it's perfect for those weeks when work is piling up, you spend more time at the library than anywhere else, and your fridge and cupboards are barren because neither you nor your roommates have time to grocery shop. Having fallen victim to these weeks many times in my couple years at McGill, Super Sandwiches is a little home away from home that I am quite familiar with. It is located just a block from campus, in the basement of the Cartier building at Peel and Sherbrooke. While it may look like a regular dep to the untrained eye, anyone who's been there before (or reads this blog) knows that it actually sells delicious, CHEAP sandwiches. These sandwiches aren't anything to write home about - they're quite simple and you don't get to choose from elaborate toppings and sauces like at subway. That being said, they are perfect for what they are and I would (and do) choose them over subway any day. These sandwiches are big, tasty, and cheap. Types include ham and cheese, chicken salad, salami and many others, and prices range from 3.50 to 5 bucks. I find that the bread makes the sandwiches - it's always freshly baked and still warm when they hand you your sandwich in their trademark brown paper bag. To make it a full meal you can add a bag of chips and pop for only $1.75!

Smoked turkey and mustard. At my lowest point, I had this for breakfast....

 

 It's obvious to see why students love this place. This dep, though small and hidden, has generated a lot of interest around Montreal. Here's a link to a McGill Tribune article praising Super Sandwich: http://www.mcgilltribune.com/supersandwich
Just a warning: since it is so well loved, there is often a lineup that extends all around the dep at lunchtime. But don't be disheartened by this - the staff are so efficient that I've never waited for more than 5 minutes.
