I love coming across little cafes or eateries that are about good basic eats with a vibe like you're at a quaint little town.  Old Bleu is one of those cafes.  It's a cute little cafe offering sandwiches and boxed lunches that tastes homecooked good and won‘t break the bank - a hidden gem!  Well, I haven't tried their sandwiches, but last week I had their jerk pork lunch special.  There is a small, medium and large box ranging from around $5 - $8 - $10 after taxes.  You can customize you lunch with the different sides on offer, choosing a little of each or just a lot of one; basically enough to fill the box.
 

The jerk pork was tender, had good flavour with a little bit of a kick.  Not too salty like many other places I've had jerk at which is a definite plus!  The sides were basic, the spring salad was tossed with a basic oil and vinegar dressing, and the rice was light and fluffy.
 

Service was also very friendly.  Seating is limited though, a few seats looking out the large front window.  Definitely a great place to pick up lunch and a tip from the owner, every day the lunch is different except Tuesdays and Fridays which are the same.

They also offer coffee and tea and a few pastries.
