Olivier Potier

The next place I am going to recommend is Olivier Potier. This café is located on Sherbrooke down the corner of Mackay and Sherbrooke.

The interior design of this café is a modernistic homey mixture. When you first walk into the café, you are greeted by a wide selection of breads to your right and extremely delicately made cakes to your left. The wooden floors are paired up with some sofa chairs and wooden chairs. As you continue to enter into the café, you will see tables for people who want to sit down and grab a coffee or lunch. The layout of the café is very open and the tables are quite closely placed together, which I feel like takes away from people's privacy.

At Olivier Potier, I ordered a Smoked Salmon Sandwich and a Cappuccino. It was surprising that they didn't have a variety of options on their menu—made it hard to choose what to have because some of their sandwiches were also sold out by 1:00PM, but there were no more than 8 to choose from to begin with. Regardless, their sandwiches were still delicious and the Cappuccino was made perfectly.

Overall, I liked the vibe of the cafe a lot. The number of options was disappointing, but the food and coffee was still good. As I was leaving the cafe, I got to take a good look at their options of cakes, which all looked amazing. Next time I come back, I will definitely try their cakes!
