About

Le Roi Du Smoked Meat serves authentic Montreal-style smoked meat prepared with traditional curing and slow-smoking techniques. Each sandwich features hand-carved, tender beef piled high on rye bread with the essential accompaniment of yellow mustard and crunchy dill pickles. The menu extends to other deli staples including poutine, coleslaw, and various savory smoked meat platters intended for hearty appetites. Diners find a straightforward, casual interior designed for efficiency and speed during high-volume periods of operation. Patrons often select from classic fountain beverages or bottled sodas to complement the salt-cured profile of the primary dishes. This establishment maintains a focus on consistency and the reliable delivery of high-quality, protein-focused comfort food in a no-nonsense environment that prioritizes flavor over decorative flair or complex culinary presentation.

Review Summary

Le Roi Du Smoked Meat is widely recognized as a nostalgic, retro-style diner that offers a classic Montreal experience. Many patrons praise the restaurant for its delicious, tender smoked meat, generous portions, and friendly, efficient service that makes customers feel welcome. While it is frequently hailed as a local institution and a go-to spot for an authentic meal, some visitors note that the decor could benefit from updates and that seating can feel cramped. Mixed feedback exists regarding the consistency of the food quality and portion sizes compared to the past, but overall, it remains a popular destination for those seeking a traditional, family-friendly atmosphere with a diverse menu.

Je n'y retournerai plus. J'ai commandé de 2 articles séparés parce que c'était plus abordable qu'une « assiette ». La serveuse m'apporte l'assiette en me disant que c'est presque le même prix. Je pensais qu'elle me faisait une faveur, donc j'ai accepté l'assiette. Elle m'apporte la facture & elle me charge le prix de l'assiette plus l'un des articles. Je lui mentionne l'erreur & elle le corrige, mais pas le prix de l'assiette. Je ne crois pas à l'erreur de bonne fois dans ce cas ci c'est de la vente forcée

The air conditioning was running but still too warm. The service was so slow although both waitresses were pleasant when taking our order. However, getting their attention took so long although the restaurant only had a few tables occupied.
The food was hot but very basic fair. The prices were reasonable but the food wasn't anything to write home about except to say we would not go back.
The water was warm & not refilled & the servers never checked on us.
Disappointed to say the least as expected more from a place rated 4.1 stars.

Last time I tried a smoked meat sandwich at Le Roi du Smoked Meat… literally seemed like half the meat was jelly looking fat. Not edible in anyway.
If you go there to eat… bring your own lunch.
Will never go there again

A really really good smoked meat sandwich, I'm sure there are better ones but I honestly couldn't tell you one thing wrong with my experience. Exactly what the doctor ordered & they don't skimp out on the meat!
