My mom, grandma and I had business at a store nearby, and we were positively starving by the time we finished, so we went at the first restaurant we found that wasn't shitty Chez Louis We weren't very impressed at first since it's obviously very old and in a shabby part of town, and things weren't much better when we went inside and all of the staff just stopped chatting to look at us, since we were the only customers during peak lunch hours, but when we sat down and looked at menu, we found quite a surprise... Calzones! You just don't find those anywhere anymore, which is a shame since they're usually great if done right. Everybody ordered 'em, with a salad and poutine to share around. While the sides, poutine and coffee were all pretty damn average, the calzones were delicious The crust was dry enough that you could eat it with your hands without getting scalded by soggy grease, it was thin enough that you could really taste the fillings inside and the really tasty sauce (they have what looks to be basil plants growing on the counter, so I'm thinking maybe they use the fresh stuff in the sauce), and it was crispy and seemingly toasted in a panini machine, which really helps with the visuals... easily the best calzones we've had I didn't expect a gem to be hidden in such an old and shabby looking place.. if they gave it a fresh coat of paint, added a TV or radio or something and maybe washed the sticky and equally worn down floor, maybe they'd attract more customers but then again in that kind of neighborhood, maybe old regulars is all they can really hope to retain. Either way, make sure to give it a try if you have business nearby!
