Popular Meltwich sandwich stop already charming St. Catharines customers

Comfort food should simply tingle nostalgically in your mouth, bringing you the same warm feeling that fuzzy slippers touch the toes on a cold winter morning. And the rules of thumb is simple for comfort food. Cheese, especially of the melted variety, is pretty much essential.

Following on the huge success of last year’s Meltwich Food Co opening on Portage Rd. in Niagara Falls, St. Catharines got its own on May 27 when owner Rajiv Bais opened his doors at 400 Scott St in Grantham Plaza.

The chain has a singular credo: “With a simple mission ‘Not just good, but great,’ Meltwich Food Co is a fine casual food concept focused on providing delicious and convenient food options with wholesome and healthy ingredients. Vegan options available.”

If the early reviews count, it looks like the outlet will be set as a favourite in St. Catharines for some time to come.

“If it’s as good as the Niagara Falls location, you gotta try it!! Best poutine and great sandwiches!” raved one.

“Went yesterday and it was so DELICIOUS!! Happy to have a new restaurant in the plaza!”

Another was equally pumped. “Went there last night. Absolutely (expletive) delicious”
