I had a fantastic dining experience at Cafe T can. The cozy atmosphere immediately made me feel at home. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of my meal was perfect. The menu, though compact, offered a delightful range of dishes that were both delicious and creatively presented. Each bite was a testament to the care and skill that went into preparing the food. If you’re looking for a charming spot with outstanding service and memorable dishes, highly recommended. It’s a gem that truly shines!

Great place to grab food during a work day. Their menu changes every week which is always nice. Wish they had more hours open.

Friends and I tried a few dishes and they were amazing! Hamburger was moist and delicious, KFC chicken and General Tao were to die for and the sushi can’t get enough of it. I will be back to rate other dishes soon 😊 The staff are super friendly and warm.

I got their poke bowl, sushi, and duck crêpe and I can’t wait to go back 😍 I was surprised to see that each item came with soup, water, or chips so it’s honestly a great deal for the excellent cuisine that it is! The entrance is more easily accessible behind the building for those who are going for the first time!

Hidden gem in ville Saint-laurent. Their menu changes weekly and they only open monday to friday lunch time. Delicious food and good variety. Their sushis/ sashimi is very fresh! Great service! Found in the basement of an office building.

Delicious, spicy, tons of hot juicy chicken and big steaming shrimps, loved every bite. Perfect for a lunch break car picnic. Top marks. Oh, and it was ready in about 4 minutes.

Got 3 orders from CafeTCan at lunch. Friendly service. Peking Duck wrapped in crepe was decent (could've been more flavorful) but otherwise not bad. The 2nd order was papaya & grilled chicken salad. Grilled chicken was cold (even though we got there around 11:15 am (to avoid any lunch rush). Strips of green papaya were barely there. Misleading...most of the salad was lettuce, some bean sprouts and other generic veggies. 3rd order was pan seared trout. The fish was also cold. The green beans & potatoes seemed to be pan seared too but beans tasted raw. flavor on all dishes were not that tasty, just average.

Some of the most creative and diverse dishes in the city. From tasty international cuisine, to healthy salads and fresh sushi, you will never get sick of this place. It creates addiction! Everything is made fresh and the attention to detail in each plate is second to none. Totally worth the detour, super friendly staff with parking and entrance in the back. Keep it up TCAN!

The menu varies every week and the dishes are simply delicious. Its great to have this place as an option in the area to grab lunch or dinner. Small cafe located in an office building: if you enter from the front you will have to go down one floor, otherwise the entrance behind the building leads directly to the cafe. I love this little cafe and highly recommend it.

Incredibly talented staff. To be able to master such a variety of cuisines is an exceptional talent. I have tried a wide variety of items from their menu (which has different items every week, and have never once been disappointed. No, more than that: I have never been less than impressed, and often ecstatic. And to couple all of this with a very, very reasonable price of $10-13 for their lunch menu is absolutely unbelievable. I consistently love their poke and donburi bowels and their general tao chicken, but my two favorites so far have been the bulgogi beef poutine and the lobster roll. These are really the best poutine and the best lobster roll (or hell, sandwich) that Ive ever had. The poutine was incredibly flavorful, but not overwhelming, with unique and exciting flavors. The lobster roll was better then why Ive ever had before, with a rich taste of lemon zest and delicious herbs akin to a higher-quality Old Bay Seasoning.

A lovely little eatery all around. The food is always fresh and delicious, the service is prompt, and Rick, Alice and the rest of the staff are very friendly, compassionate, and generous. The menu rotates every week with a mix of new options and tried-and-true favourites like General Tao, power bowls, and sushi. There are always veggie options as well. Highly recommend!

No matter what I tried from their weekly updated menu, it never fails to wow me. Add to that their friendly customer service and efficient but unrushed cooking, this is one of my favorite hidden gem of breakfast & lunch restauration in Ville St-Laurent. Again, everything on the menu is fresh & delicious, so I cannot recommend anything specific... but I highly recommend trying (and not missing) one of their weekly novelty as you might be waiting a long time until it comes back on the menu :)

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this jewel of a restaurant. A little cafe serving up big flavours! A true delight. The menu changes every week. Favourites like General Tao Chicken, Shrimp Tempura Sushi and Dumplings are sure to please. The spices are adjusted to taste. Lovers of the new and the bold can try Asian dishes with a twist - fusion options incorporating Mexican, Greek and Italian flavours, pairing them with spices and flavours of the orient. Youll never be bored with the variety the menu boasts. The generous portions, the impeccable flavours and textures and the quick, friendly service make this little restaurant a real treasure in the West of the Island.
