Capitaine Sandwich, anchored on Duluth Avenue, is a small but mighty spot for sandwich lovers. Opened in 2017 by Samir Benzeguir, this counter-service eatery has redefined the sandwich game in Montreal. With a menu that goes far beyond the basic ham-and-butter baguette, it offers inventive creations like the Big Nan (a beef-and-pork patty with “big nan” sauce, lettuce, and pickles), the Halloumi (grilled halloumi, cabbage, herbs, and spicy mayo), and the Cubain (smoked loin, ham, Gruyère, magical sauce, and pickles).
The small space, designed by Samir himself, is bright and welcoming, with a turquoise wood counter, lush green plants, and playful neon signage. While seating is limited, the sandwiches are perfect for grab-and-go lunches, and the accompaniments—potato salad, soup, or house-made lemonade—are equally worth a try. Don’t miss the dessert cannolis, which round out the experience with a sweet flourish.
