If there's one thing that Montrealers love, it's a good sandwich. But if you want to take it one step further, it's when Montreal restaurants take a classic to a whole new level

La Panzeria, in the Plateau, offers the Panino Polignano, an octopus sandwich, with marinated rapini, fried Mediterranean octopus cured and seasoned in the house, fresh Apulian burrata topped with our signature sweet mint and lime vinaigrette," according to Pierpaolo Sansone, owner of La Panzeria.

"It's our most popular sandwich."

Opened just last year, La Panzeria has already built quite a fan-base here in Montreal.

The family-run bistro is known for homemade Italian recipes, like pasta, panzerotti and focaccia, making La Panzeria an authentic corner of Puglia in Montreal.

Currently, the menu is available for pick-up only. 

The bistro is open from Wednesday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

And once the red zone is lifted, you can hang out in the cozy spot and feel like you're away in Puglia.

Address: 4084, rue Saint-Denis, Montreal, QC
