Review Summary

Miami Deli is described across reviews as a bold, nostalgic diner with a behemoth menu, big portions, and affordable prices that make it a reliable go-to for breakfast and brunch, and its kitschy, Florida themed decor is repeatedly highlighted as part of the charm.

Décarie Hot Dog

Ville Saint-Laurent

Comfort Food Poutine Burgers Breakfast

Mentioned in: 18 Delis and Diners in Montréal Serving the City's Timeless Classics

Review Summary

Décarie Hot Dog is widely described as an iconic, nostalgia-filled Montreal staple for classic steamies, hot dogs, fries and poutine, a retro spot that many visitors feel is worth the trek for the experience and comfort food. Several reviews praise the poutine for its rich gravy, cheese curds and hearty fries, with some calling it the best or among the best in the city. However, other comments note decline in recent years, with poutine that is too dry or oversalted, sauces that changed, and items that are not as hot or fresh as before. The hot dogs and steamies often remain a highlight when served hot and dressed properly, but some visits report cold buns or underdressed orders. Cash only payments and a fast, no-frills service style contribute to the old-school atmosphere, which reviewers either love for its authenticity or view as a drawback. Overall, the place is described as a beloved, long-standing institution that inspires strong loyalty and nostalgia, while also provoking debates about consistency and whether it can recapture its former level.View restaurant profile
