A unique restaurant that will delight nostalgic people. Perfect for a meal on the go or to take away. All is well.

Quick and delicious meal with friendly service. Fair price, the restaurant doesn't accept tips (we think it's strange)! It's worth it to check out Montreal's attractions and customs.

If you wanna travel back in time this is the place to go. Simple food but very unique and tasty. The prices are very affordable. Must try at least once.

Price and taste is insane! Good pickle

Definitely a historic place to experience in the heart of Mile End. Make sure to get the special and try one of their home made sodas, you won't regret it. Prices are low (5$), but the lunch is also light as they define it. Might need two sandwiches each.

In town for few days and this place was recommended for a quick on the go lunch. I went in for the special for 5$ and was greeted by a very friendly staff. Had the sandwich in hand in less then a minute as they are constantly making them. First bite, OMG!! Super hot and crispy bun. A good amount of meat to bun ratio. I am now hooked on this delightful sandwich. I was disappointed they are closed Sunday and Monday as I would have gone everyday. I wish I got two specials that day. This is one of the best surprises of our trip to Montreal.

A setting and an atmosphere beyond time and modern standards.Old-fashioned sodas (a first for me, never seen that before)A sandwich that hasn't changed since 1932 and that certainly shouldn't change.The art of retro

Visiting from Melbourne, Australia (on a very cold, snowy March day) - Wilensky's was a must visit destination in Montreal with a timeless experience that you just don't get back home.It's a simple concept - pop yourself onto a counter seat, get lost in time & let the super friendly (and in close proximity, this is a great thing!) staff know what you feel like eating out of their hot or cold sandwiches, or a hot dog if that's your craving, and what you would like to wash it down with and it will be in front of you before you know it.For me, I went with the Wilensky Special, an all-beef and all-bologna hot sandwich with mustard & swiss cheese. I meant to say, I had two because I had to quickly re-live the first experience immediately & crunched on a sour pickle to tickle the palette on the side. The sandwich hit the spot as a tasty pre-lunch filler & was matched by the tastiest cherry cola that is made in-house that i've ever had in my life.As I pulled out my wallet, I was shocked to learn how little I was to actually spend on all of that tastiness - the lovely server even helped me understand how to make sense of the toonies, loonies and other coins that I had put onto the counter.Of all of the fond memories that I went on to make in Quebec, making the trek out to a beloved institute that my culinary & cultural heroes were once in and getting to experience the same sensation of time travel is one that I will cherish forever.

I've been going to this place for 25 years and I've always had the delicious special until I also recently discovered the delicious hot dog with its unique sausage, a real delight.
