Hungry for a new lunch spot?

The stretch of Notre Dame just west of Atwater has seen a foodie renaissance since Tuck Shop moved in last year.

Now new kid on the block Campanelli is adding to the burgeoning neighbourhood buzz with Italian-influenced sandwiches, salads and coffee. Tangy slices of apple and honey mustard brightened up a savoury prosciutto, bocconcini and marinated eggplant sandwich ($11), while the fresh roll stuffed with cheddar, apple, sundried tomato and homemade veggie-paté ($9.50) offered a satisfying vegetarian lunch. And you’ll deeply regret it if you leave without a buttery slice of tangy lemon tarte ($2.75) or one of their famous Landsdowne Squares ($2.75) for dessert.

Can’t make it that far west? Campanelli-made lunchboxes are also available at our home-office away from home-office, Lili & Oli Café at 2515 Notre-Dame West. —Jennifer Nachshen
