Review Summary

Solomos receives high praise for its smoked salmon, described as incredibly fresh and versatile from tartare to sandwiches and bagels. The range includes maple candied salmon, various smoked varieties, and even pastrami smoked salmon, all complemented by excellent service and a welcoming, knowledgeable staff. While a few note that prices are higher than average, this is generally seen as justified by quality and specialty offerings. The store and its west island location are described as convenient, with a curated retail space and the option to order special platters for gatherings. Overall, the experience centers on top quality salmon, great tasting bagels and cream cheese, and consistently friendly service.View restaurant profile
