Deli Smoked Meat Sandwiches Grill Salads Breakfast

Review Summary

Restaurant Deli Phaistos is widely praised as the best deli diner in town, with reviewers noting that it stands apart from places that charge absurd prices for tiny portions by offering unbelievably large plates at fair prices. The submarine sandwich is so big it barely fits on the plate, and the smoked meat is described as decadent with excellent, attentive service. A consistently positive impression is formed of the staff, with remarks about impeccable service without naming any individuals. In short, the place comes highly recommended. The smoked meat is hailed as the best in town by far, and lunches are very good with the poutine also earning praise. Portions are generous, prices are honest, and service remains fast even during peak hours, making it a true hidden gem at Place Bourassa for a hearty and comforting meal. A minor drawback is that the draft beer can sometimes be flat or lack freshness. Overall, it is hard to find better in the area. Some notes mention a closure in January followed by improvements and a reopening with nearly the same servers, along with extra praise for the breaded chicken plate and homemade chicken strips described as wow.View restaurant profile

RDP-Pointe-aux-Trembles

Café Bakery Sandwiches Pizza Deli

Review Summary

Reviews describe Boulangerie MariePain as a friendly neighborhood bakery with solid offerings, where almond croissants and tomato pizza receive wide praise and, despite a limited selection, most items are excellent. The shop is noted for cleanliness, well stocked fridges, fast and courteous service, and staff who are generally welcoming, with a new manager bringing perceived improvements and a more diverse team that reflects the local culture. Some observers worry about rising prices and a perceived drop in quality, leading to doubts about returning. Others highlight quality products and attentive service, while some pastries are criticized for being too sweet and lacking finesse. A few notes advise calling ahead since viennoiseries are not baked on site and some items may be from the previous day, with textures varying. A tart with pecans reportedly had an undercooked crust and overcooked edges, dampening the experience but the bakery remains a reasonable option for bread, pastries, and desserts with a friendly vibe.View restaurant profile

Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (NDG)

Sandwiches Deli

Review Summary

Dagwoods receives mixed feedback with overall appreciation for the subs and fresh ingredients, and some praise for helpful counter staff, but experiences vary by location and employee. Pre orders are intended to save time, yet delays have been reported and there is sometimes little acknowledgement when the order runs late. Some customers describe encounters where staff overlooked requests such as toasting or toppings, leading to waste and frustration, while others report attentive service from a single staff member who handled the rush. Regular diners in NDG and Westmount find the sandwiches satisfying and the bread particularly good, making Dagwoods a reliable option even if service can feel cold or inconsistent at times. The takeaway is that Dagwoods delivers tasty, well built subs, but timing and attention to special requests can be a hit or miss depending on who is serving.View restaurant profile

Burger Bar Crescent is praised for juicy, well-balanced burgers and a diverse menu that runs from smash burgers to Wagyu and bison options, with standout picks such as the Quebecois, Roadhouse, Supersonic, and Firestorm, along with excellent fries, poutine, and a solid beer and cocktails list.

American Grill Deli Breakfast Smoked Meat

Review Summary

Nickels Deli & Bar gets mixed marks: many reviews praise good food and reasonable prices, and several visits note fast or attentive service and a generally enjoyable experience, but there are recurring concerns about service quality and preparation. Some guests report a major fruit fly problem, a dirty coffee cup, and longer than expected service times that dull the overall experience. Cooking accuracy also varies, with some meat not cooked to the requested doneness and a few missteps with smoked meat orders, including bread and topping issues that make sandwiches hard to hold together. Portion sizes were reportedly reduced in May. On the positive side, smoked meat and other dishes are described as very good, and the overall value and atmosphere are cited as strengths, suggesting Nickels Deli & Bar remains a reliable option despite sporadic inconsistencies.View restaurant profile
