Saks Sandwicherie isn’t just near the end of the blue line—it’s redefining what’s worth the trip. Opened in 2017 by the Bou siblings in a family-owned building next to St-Michel metro, this Cambodian lunch counter brings sharp, home-cooked flavours to a stretch of the city that’s long deserved more culinary attention. The menu stays tight: soups, salads, rolls, and build-your-own bowls or sandwiches with marinated lemongrass meats or tamarind-laced pulled pork, all based on recipes handed down from their mother, aunt, and grandmother.
It’s not fusion—it’s family. The design, by co-owner Virak’s wife, echoes that thought: clean lines, warm wood, and a glow-up that wouldn’t be out of place in Mile End. And while the prices rarely crack $12, the portions hit like a full meal at your cousin’s house. Regulars include firefighters, paramedics, and neighbours who’ve kept coming since day one. A little taste of Cambodia in St-Michel, no shortcuts, no gimmicks. Just really good food, made with care.
