Lonely Planet review for Philippe the Original
Celebrating its 100th birthday in 2008, Philippe the Original still hauls in hungry hordes with tasty French-dip sandwiches – created here decades ago by the original Philippe. With sawdust-covered floors, communal tables and nine-cent coffee, this landmark corner eatery a block north of Union Station remains a thriving cultural crossroads.
