Joes Panini 24h

It's a shadow of it's former self, every other bite is bread and cabbage... See my sandwich for yourself. Taste is ok, however quality price is not there. I would not recommend anymore. The store itself, does not look clean, grime everywhere, Montreal has lost a gem. RIP. They have new items, we tried the Jamaican patty, taste was also alright, but it was soggy. Anyone know what that's about?

I make the trip to Joe Panini from Ottawa, at least once a year to get their famous grilled spicy chicken panini. With a side of a can of Brio and a brownie, you cant go wrong. Amazing little spot for delicious food.

Stingy is an understatement! They barely put any chicken. I ordered three sandwiches and every single one came like this or worse. When I called to complain, I was told I should’ve opened them before leaving. How does that make sense for takeout? This place is trash, point blank period.

Good spot for a fast bite after a drink. BLT panini was pretty good and Philly cheese steak could use more cheese. Price were really fair. 9.50$ per panini including taxes.

A casual panini/burger place for quick bite. 10+ seats available for dine in. Credit card accepted.

Ordered spaghetti and meat sauce and it came delivered with the noodles warm and the meat sauce frozen solid. On top of that flavour was so bland after the front desk staff at my hotel were nice enough to allow me to use their staff microwave. I’ve had better spaghetti in northern communities with only a northern store. Also got the wrong chip order. Ridiculous.

Very nice Panini at a fair price. I recommend trying the smoked turkey and cheese Panini with a dollop of pesto sauce. It’s a small little nook of a sandwich bar, but the people are friendly and it’s perfect for a quick inexpensive bite.

They gained an additional star for using bocconcini as the melting cheese in the spicy chicken. Not so spicy BTW, but tasty. New: I just ordered the same sandwich and I vomited half way into it. The chicken doesn't smell fresh. I'm not happy.

Excellent service and fantastic food!!! Just a short walk from our hotel. Will be coming be coming back!

The place is tiny and you basically eat standing outside or walk around but this place was a great late night spot. The sandwiches feel small after you finish one so ordering 1.5 per person would be your best bet, order 3 sandwiches between you and a buddy. The food: Poulet Grillé- This was grilled chicken and was a recommendation from the cashier and it really worked. It was a nice light protein that went well with the the standard fixins on the sandwich. Jambon et Fromage- This was a ham and cheese and the French and Canadians really do them well. This was a must order. Philly Cheesesteak- So this was good but definitely didn't feel like a Philly cheesesteak, if anything it felt more like a steak and cheese. Viande Fumée- This was the smoked meat sandwich, this really reminded me of a Cuban sandwich with the mustard and pickles. This was good but I enjoyed others more.

I'm a sucker for a good panini, and I'm even more of a sucker when it comes to enjoying a good panini for breakfast. I stopped at Joe's Panini a few weeks back while in search of a non Tim Horton's breakfast on a Saturday morning. This little shop had a good look to it and even though the staff wasn't exactly top of the line friendly or even remotely talkative, I didn't care because in a weird way it kind of matched the vibe of the place. I ended up ordering a BLT panini with a brownie on the side (the brownie was for later, I just couldn't pass it up). The food took a decent amount of time to come out but the cree seemed to be in the middle of cleaning when I came in so I wasn't bothered by it. The actual Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato panini was delicious when it was done and left me wondering why panini places weren't more common, because this place was great! Overall, this place definitely lacked friendly customer service but made up for it with some really good food and that's something I will take! If you want an early breakfast in the downtown area, come to Joe's Panini!

It was late, and there were not many places to try as it was already 1am. Schwartz was closed for us to try. The panini was small. The only good thing is that's open 24hrs.

Best paninis in Montreal, great sizes and very affordable. I used to go nearly every day when I worked downtown, and I still order for delivery frequently. The bocconcini & tomato sandwich and the grilled vegetables sandwich are my favorites, but I would avoid the sesame ginger tofu.

Very weird experience here. I tried to order water and she said no and said they don't know the price but it is $3???? And that i had to order three of them??? I then proceeded to order a BLT (pretty basic sandwich...) and when it was done she called my sandwich a BLT with no tomatoes? I opened it up and it had tomatoes (thank god). My friend then tried to make her own sandwich and the woman said no. My friend then ordered a sandwich that she just made up and was not on the menu and the woman let it slide? My other friend asked if she could have the sandwich not grilled and the woman gave her a super dirty look and asked if she was sure? Oh it also stank of weed?

The paninis are more akin to a ciabatta or baguette sandwich, not very grilled or pressed. Had the mediterranean Greek panini, wasn't bad. Mediocre overall. Limited seating, but nice vibe.

This place is open 24/7 so if it's late and you're hungry and feeling like a sandwich, it's a good place to go. It's somewhat-greasy fast food, so don't be expecting any froufrou gourmet paninis here. For $7.83 ($9 taxes included) you can get a panini, a drink, and your choice of soup, salad or dessert. It was approaching midnight, and we wanted a snack so we ordered a trio to share. The guy working at the counter was even nice enough to offer to cut the panini in half for us. We got the smoked turkey panini, a garden salad and a can of pop. The turkey was deli meat, which was expected. It had cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and a tad too much mayo for my liking. Nonetheless it was good. The salad was romaine lettuce with 1 cherry tomato and 1 slice of cucumber. The dressing came on the side and was oil and balsamic vinegar. Staff were friendly and efficient. Not gourmet fare, but good for late night munchies.

Picture this : you're out in Montréal late at night, either partying, working or just can't sleep. You have a craving for a big, juicy, satisfying sandwich of any type. Where do you go? Well, we have an answer for you : @joespanini24hrs! Where the paninis are fresh, the preparation is quick, the menu is vast and where they never sleep. It hits the spot just right anytime of day - or night.

Decent sandwiches for a quick bite with large variety of items. The sandwiches are minimal and simple despite the wide variety of items, do not expect more than 2-4 ingredients with the bun. A cheap eat but not the most filling if youre very hungry. Some days I would prefer subway

I forgot to update my review of this place ! Delicious cheap panini's open 24/7. What's not to like? Highly recommend this place but don't get the mac and cheese!!! Also the music is quite loud so when you eat inside you won't be able to talk comfortably.

Great place to pick quick breakfast. Stopped here twice in 3 days. Egg muffin was really good. Bocconcini & tomato panini was good too. Cash only. Open 24 hours. Reasonably priced.

The service was pretty bad, it was difficult to place my order because everyone was in the back. It was also surprisingly slow to get my food and there was almost no one. The food tasted fine for the price, but it wasn't anything exceptional. The ambiance is whatever, there pretty much isn't one. It's a super small place with almost no place to sit. It does have that " OG " feeling which is why I give it 4/5. This isn't a Michelin star restaurant after all Food: 3-4/5 Service: 2-3/5 Ambiance: 4/5

Cheap and affordable decent food. It's rare to find a place in downtown where you can get a panini, a drink, a salad and a dessert for 10$ + tax, but this is one of the places. I tried the spicy chicken panini. Can't say it was delicious, but it was good enough. It wasn't too spicy and there's no awesomeness to it. It pretty much tastes like what it looks like. The quinoa salad was very bland even with the sauce. On the other hand, the pastries were amazing. I tried the chocolate croissant and the almond croissant and both were delicious and not too sweet with a slight crisp on the outside. The wait was a bit long even though it was almost 11pm. People kept coming in even when it was -25 degrees outside. Can't imagine how packed this place would be during warmer days. The staff is nice and friendly. Would definitely come back if I feel like a peasant and want cheap food.

Joe's Panini is a 24-hour panini shop located off of Drummond. They offer a variety of paninis, such as the ham and cheese, Philly cheesesteak, Nutella, grilled chicken, etc. I tried their Salami, which came with a vinaigrette dressing, mayo, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, cheese, and slices of salami. The bread, you can opt for white or wheat, or even a croissant. I stuck with the regular white, and while it could have been more buttered up and more crispier, it was a cheap and a simple bite to grab. Service was friendly, and there were some seats inside to enjoy your grub. Just note that they only accept Canadian credit or cash. +24-hour panini shop +friendly staff +Canadian credit or cash only

On a terribly cold and rainy day, when the all seemed dark and dreary, a few paninis from Joe's made things a little brighter. Based on a longer story, but in a way by fluke, I ended up with two sandwiches. Perhaps, it was meant to be as I ended up eating them both right away on the sidewalk, despite the rain. The first was their tuna which can be made more spicy that I requested. The sandwich which was tightly wrapped after being warmed just enough on the panini press. I hit the spot and seemed to have some kind of an onion or red bell pepper based relish which added to the overall taste. Their rolls are quite a signature of this longstanding and well liked around-the-corner-spot. I say around the corner, since if you don't pay attention you can keep walking right by it. Ironically, they have a somewhat shiny sign that is curved towards the main street -- however, it still seems a place with a word-of-mouth-those-in-the-know kind of vibe or shall we say; cool factor. The second sandwich was a real stand-out, as I was not expecting such plump fresh mozzarella slices with a unique and delicious basil infused mayonnaise to make it a nice rich treat. There were also tomatoes if I recall correctly, that rounded out this memorable vegetarian bite. I thought that I would be too full for dinner after downing these two paninis late afternoon, but somehow I managed. If they had been two of their items with heavier fillings (they have options), I doubt it would have been the case.

Love this place! They're open late which makes it the perfect place to go too after you're done clubbing. The prices are good & the sandwiches are amazing!!

Pretty bad cheap sandwich...It wasn't like that before the quality went down really bad. I can feel old frozen bread. And the quality of the meet...lol No veggies in the steak and cheese sandwich.

It was 3 am on a Saturday. Hungry and in need for a snack. I was glad to find Joe's Panini using my Yelp App. Opens 24 hours! It was just packed inside with hungry post party goers all in a good mood. My Philly Cheesesteak Panini for around $5 did take awhile to be ready but definitely worth the wait!

With a bit of time between checking out from the hotel and my departure flight, I needed a nibble. Joe's to the rescue with a hot and toasty panini sandwich. The dude (yes, dude is the right word here) spoke perfect English when I asked him what was good today. The spicy chicken was his recommendation and I grabbed a bottle of water to go with it. And then I went to my wallet. Oops - no Canadian cash left. No worries, he let me pay with American. Your mileage may vary. The sandwich was excellent. The right size and with a good amount of chicken and spiciness. On the minus side of the equation, there was no wifi in the place and the table where I sat was sticky. Minor details.

Great stop for a quick cheap meal for students. You can have two and still pay less than what you would for one at any other place. They have a sandwich for everyone.

Great little hole in the wall shop with a street side opening when the weather is nice. Awesome sandwiches menu is French and it may seem intimidating but just say hello and they will speak English. Food is awesome. Pro tip - coconut water in cans at the top of the cooler in the rear - perfect for thirsty pedestrians!

Honestly, it's simple, but tasty It's hilarious how easily this could be replicated in almost any given place, yet we never see something like this in every city or every town. It's CHEAP, 24 hours a day, and allows them to pump out the sandwiches super quick it's a formula that works with a simple bag of buns and panini press so honestly I don't know we don't see it more often

I really like this little place. And when I write little, it really is! My friend would always tell me about this place so I figured I would try it some day. When we arrived, we had to wait outside because it was super packed. And from what I heard, it's always like this. We got in, we ordered from the menu on the wall and got my panini 7mins later. Be patient, because if it's that packed, it will take some time. We at there. Not a big place, there was maybe 3 tables/booth. I wasn't expecting much honestly, but the panini was pretty good! The bread, the meat... I really can't complain. I had a poulet grillé (grilled chicken) panini. This is now my go-to for a panini fix! It's open 24/7, so if you're going out, have a late night and have a craving, it's the place to go!

The food was extremely bland. The service was average and ambiance also. I ordered pick up and found a thumbtack inside of my food and not the extra I ordered. I filed a complaint and hope this place shuts down.

I mean... I think the reason this place has such a rep is because of it's central location to Downtown Montreal and the fact that it's open 24/7. Their sandwiches have good flavour and are relatively cheap (we were able to get 3 sandwiches for under $17. The "Philly cheese steak" sandwiches are very flavourful, while I found the spicy chicken sandwich was not spicy at all and the chicken was a bit on the dry side. The place blasts their music so no chance to have a convo here... the furniture is run-down but I guess the type of clientele who eat here really don't care about that kind of thing lol The bread is yummy and I would only go back if I was craving something cheap and on the go!

Great place to get a quick bite! They personally recommend the spicy chicken so i ordered one spicy chicken, one chicken gyro and one spicy sausage. I really enjoy the chicken gyro! Highly recommended!

This little sandwich shop is a lifesaver at 3:00 AM when you're hungry. Open 24 hours, the Panini sandwiches they make are pretty damn good, but the Chicken is by far the best of the bunch. They also have lots of home made baked goodies like brownies, rice krispy treats, and cake. Pudding too. It's really everything you need if you're just hungry. It's a little cramped and they always have the TV blasting music videos, but whatever. It's nice to know it's there.

I went back again for lunch today and decided to take Alex K suggestion and try the grilled chicken panini. It was great! I may have to start trying out all of their panini's to see which is the best.

My boyfriend and I randomly chose a breakfast place to grab some food before we hiked up Mount Royal. I decided to come here since I saw that Jennifer K has been here. We settled on splitting a ham and cheese panini and a chocolate croissant. The ham and cheese panini was nothing to rave about. However, the chocolate croissant was awesome! There was just the right amount of fillings and it wasn't overly sweet. The top of the croissant was perfectly crunchy. It was so good, we had to come back here before we left Montreal just to buy two more chocolate croissant.

Decent quality at deep-value price point. Get a "Trio" combo with sandwich, side, drink (soda, San Pellegrino, etc) for $9 after tax, go for spicy chicken or BBQ rib (I liked the chicken better but tastes/reports vary). A reliable go-to for locals in this area. Would probably go again. Pro tip: call your order in ahead of time, save yourself a wait - it gets busy.

Grabbed a quick dinner here today. Went with the promising yelp reviews. For 9 CAD you get a panini, chips and a drink, which is a pretty good deal. You can also get panini, soup/salad and drink for same price. I got the spicy chicken panini which was grilled chicken with some kinda hot sauce. The bread itself is tasty and crunchy and hot! The place is rather small with 3 to 4 tables and some standing room. You pay at the counter, they accept debit cards but no credit cards. They also have coffee based drinks, croissants, cookies etc. Best part about Joe's is that it's open 24/7 - so if you're looking for some post partying hunger quenching Joe's your spot.

For some reason, they're not really on my radar when it comes to grabbing a late night bite. The lineups are what kills it for me, it is worth it once there since the prices are very decent and the selection is pretty good. You can even have salad, at 4 in the morning. It could be the healthiest thing you do all night.

Let's roll back to Monday morning where I woke up in the hotel trying to figure where to go for breakfast, travel buddy was already dressed and out the door, heading about a block south to McDonald's...then remembered I had bookmarked Joe's Paninis on Yelp as a place to try out. Arrived at destination, pondered the menu while looking around then finally placed my order. Philly Cheesesteak panini: Perfect sized baguette bread, toasted to crunchy but not burnt. Steak was beautifully marinated, sliced and cooked, not tough nor chewy. Bell peppers were medium cooked, soft yet has crunch factor. Onions are nicely caramelized and cheese was nicely melted. The combination made the best panini I have ever tasted. Service was great too. Given it was like 8:30am on a Monday morning. Definitely coming back when in town again.

Was in the area on a Saturday morning, running some errands when we felt really hungry. Hubby suggested Joe's Panini and I decided to give it a try. Had heard a lot about this place. I ordered the veg panini and cheese philly steak panini for my hubster. Service was fairly quick. Both of us loved our panini's.

With a slogan advertising themselves as the best panini in Montreal, I was hoping for something remarkable. Yes the panini was good, decent selection of sandwiches and sides and it's awesome that they're open 24h, but it remains just good, nothing special. Best to grab and go, as there's not much seating and this small joint looks rather dreary. Also, super noisy tv or radio blaring 90's hits. I found the panini quite small so this is ideal as a snack or lunch. For the same price and simplicity of ingredients, I think I'd just prefer getting a 12 inch Subway where I can at least get a bit of zing from the sauce. There's actually a restaurant in the Eaton Centre food court called "Panini" that serves a much more delicious version with garlic mayo, which makes all the difference. No free wifi, and they don't accept credit cards. Boo.

cool little nook to sit down and get some junk listening to mtv retro! best thing about Joe's Panini is that it's open 24h and can offer you whatever craving you're having whether its chips, sandwiches, sweets, salads. My fave is the mac and cheese mmm

A true one dollar sign store. 5.50$ paninis, all very delicious. I've tried prosciutto and brie, grilled chicken, spicy sausage, philly cheesesteak, turkey, spicy tuna and spicy chicken. Favorites are spicy sausage and philly cheesesteak. Least favorite is grilled chicken: the meat was too dry. The only downside is that there is very little vegetables in them, which doesn't affect the taste, but just makes me feel guilty. Usually one panini is enough, but when you're really really hungry, you should get two. They also have cookies for 1$ each. They're not bad, very thin and sweet, should eat with milk (which they also have). Overall the food and price are worth 3.5 stars. Extra 0.5 for the location, the 24h, and the niceness of the employees. Would love to taste their breakfast options when I get the chance.

A great place to grab a quick bite. Their paninis are freshly made and cheap, though maybe less rich than more expensive places but it's worth the price. The selection is also very good. Service is fast.

Perhaps it's because I'm Italian that I have a biased towards Joe Panini. I grew up eating real authentic paninis from local bakeries in east end Montreal. I have very high expectations when it comes to the quality of the bread, cold cuts, cheese and pickled toppings. Simply put, Joe's panini just doesn't cut it for me. They're sandwiches are ok, decent at most. Nothing to rave about to be honest, everything is pretty basic. On the plus side, they are open 24/7. Therefore if you're downtown late and hunger strikes, you could always head here.

Came here on a hot summer day for a quick no fuss lunch. All the sandwiches are made on the spot with fresh ingredients. I loved the baguette they used which tasted fresh and had the perfect crunchy outer with a soft interior. Prices range around the $4-$5 mark for a panini. The seating area has a mix of outdoor/indoor. They blast much music vibes videos of hip hop and RnB on a tv situated across from the counter where you order. The tables are cheap and plastic and you sit on benches or cafeteria style chairs. This is a no-fuss eating zone and that's exactly the way I like it. There isn't a large amount of seating so you might be hard pressed to find seating on a busy lunch rush. They often have lines during popular meal times. Overall would come back if I was craving a good sandwich.

great little place. I've been coming here in forever. From the late night snack to the lunch time sandwich. The Grilled steak or chicken is the best. I've been done there at least a dozen times over a 2 years. It's a good price for the food and they have fast service. which I appreciate the most.

I stopped by before work for a quick bite. It's very convenient that they're open 24/7. Their trio combo is $9 tax in and includes a panini, pastry/salad, and a drink. The panini isn't super fantastic but it's pretty good for the price. Great value

Great tasting panini sandwiches. They are open 24/7 and seem to get busier as the day went on. It seems like this is the place to be. The price point may be the reason. For $8 you get a drink, sandwich, desert. I ate here twice during my short visit. Something about that sauce on their hot sandwich that is memorable - its their top seller what they are known for. If you are looking for something quick and tasty, highly recommend this place. They keep the long lines moving and the food is amazing.

so good! i had the spicy chicken, so cheap and good! this place is fun, if i lived here i would be tryin all the different paninis all day. nice guys.

This is a great place for lunch! Affordable too! A good size panini will cost you $5.50 tax IN! You can also get a Trio for $9.00 tax IN! That will get you any panini of your choice, a canned drink or bottle of water, and either a small side salad, soup of the day, a bag of chips, or a cookie. Lots of options for the panini's: - spicy chicken - grilled chicken - turkey - ham - tuna or egg salad - meatball - BBQ rib, etc. All panini's come automatically with lettuce, cheese, and tomato, so if you do not want any of these toppings on your sandwich - be sure to let them know when you order. Also, they do have brown bread for the panini's but you need to tell them when you order otherwise they will give you white bread by default. The place is suuuuuper small. It fits about 10 people snugly. If they are busy, there may not be any available places to sit... it is sort of 'that' small. Very casual environment. DOES NOT TAKE CREDIT CARD THOUGH! They only take Interac or cash. Definitely return-worthy!

Let's get real here kids: there are 2 types of Paninis to eat at Joe's Panini: the Philly cheesesteak and the spicy sausage. Everything else is good, just not as good. But for 5.50$ a piece, you can't go wrong. Joe's Panini delivers great value for the money.

Had the BBQ Rib trio. Service was quick, prices are very affordable and the panini was good. Will definitely look to try it out again after a night out downtown.

I usually enjoy Joe's Panini but today was a very poor sandwich. It was barely grilled, cheese wasn't melted. Just an overall bad sandwich. I know the staff can do better than that...
