Expresti is a cozy little restaurant on Queen Mary Road, and at the heart of Montreal’s unofficial kosher restaurant district.

I have had the pleasure of enjoying many lunches and dinners at Expresti since its opening in 2005, and the simple and yet delicious fare is what keeps me and my friends (and all of Jewish Montreal it seems on many Saturday nights!) coming back.

Expresti’s lunch menu includes what are honestly the best paninis and wraps in the city. One favourite of mine is the California Wrap which is a sizeable pesto-flavoured wrap filled with avocado, mock crab, Boston lettuce and a special house dressing and served with a small pasta salad on the side. You should also try an Italian Panini, which is a sandwich made up of mozzarella, Edam cheese and grilled vegetables on a pressed baguette.

For dinner, Expresti is the perfect place for couples looking for a satisfying and milchig meal. My perfect Expresti meals always starts with the best French onion soup this side of the Atlantic, served in a gorgeous French onion soup terrine and topped with a toasted baguette slice and mozzarella cheese. There is also a ‘soup de jour’ alternative for calorie-counters which normally include varieties of pureed vegetable soups.
As a main course, enjoy one of Expresti’s many delicious salads (especially the Salmon teriyaki salad), pizzas, pastas (no favourites here as all the pastas are equally amazing), crepes or fish dishes. Expresti also has an excellent sushi menu which includes regular sushi fare but also has some out-of-the-ordinary rolls as well, filled with exotic fruit which are pretty sumptuous and yet affordable treats.

No matter how full you feel after an Expresti dinner, there is always room for an Expresti dessert. Many of my friends will actually stop by specifically for the melt-in-your-mouth cheesecakes, which are available in Chocolate, Strawberry and Mocha. An equally big hit are the dessert chocolate crepes.

As I mentioned before, Expresti does tend to get filled up pretty quickly on a busy evening, and so your best bet is to call and make reservations even ten minutes in advance. I often call in lunches for takeout to make the most out of my one hour work lunch, and I assure you that my orders stay just as tasty and warm as when I eat in.
Whatever time of day you decide to drop by this cute and chic bistro, you can be assured of a time worth your while!
