Louis Gervais is a five diamond executive chef and was the head chef at The Sutton place, and he now operates a catering business out of North Vancouver. His business offers catering, cooking lessons and gourmet take away items. Through a recommendation from an industry friend I was told I have to try their sandwiches.
Here is the secret. The kitchen is open from 11:30 - 1:30 for people to walk in and have a soup and sandwich. We were very confused because this spot is not a retail spot and we drove past it twice until we decided to call to get directions/instructions. You basically walk right into the studio kitchen and order your sandwich and soup, I assume this would partially fall under the gourmet take away category.
We walked in and the chef greeted us and asked us what kind of sandwich we would like. The options included:
- Meat (Ham, chicken, salami)
- Cheese (swiss, or chedder)
- Bread (white or multigrain)
- Toppings (pesto mayo, spinach, tomatoes)
- The soup of the day was roasted red pepper
The sandwich was fantastic!!! The ingredients tasted fresh and I would rank this as one my favorite sandwich spots in the city (1. La Galleria 2. Finchs 3. Louis Gervais) . The side bowl of soup was massive and tasted great, I am not a fan of roasted pepper soup but my friend gave me the thumbs up when I looked over. The meal was a great value and very flavorful. I liked the white bread better than the multigrain becuase the multigrain looked like it would cut the roof of my mouth.

Sandwiches seem to be one of those things that can go very very right or very very wrong quite quickly. It looks like Louis Gervais has figured out that it is just a few simple, delicious ingredients that make a great sandwich.
Btw I'm pretty much in love with Ricky Gervais! If you like his podcast you should watch his stand up. I particularly love when Karl is on the podcast. Ricky's laugh alone can crack me up!
that look so delicious. do you know if they have lunch on the weekends? with work, I'd never have time to go there between those hours on weekdays!
I am pretty sure it is just weekdays. I went on a weekday that I took off.

Great find...I have to check this out.
I do have an issue with your best sandwiches poll...I think the banh mi at Tung Hing and Ba Le deserve to be there on sheer bang for the buck.
ummm i havent been to any of these places (im gonna check them out)....but I would say the best panini in vancouver are at Sciue'
my personal italian opinion
