Fameux Viande Fumée Et Charcuterie draws a mixed set of reviews, with many praising a warm, friendly service and a cozy old school diner vibe that makes it a reliable late night option, while others note occasional rude or impatient staff and concerns about supervision. The dining experience is described as quick and efficient when service is on point, yet inconsistent in some visits, including a rare impression of tension or discomfort caused by staff interactions. Food quality is variable, with some orders featuring disappointing poutine or underfilled submarine sandwiches and others enjoying decent pizzas, gyros, and smoked meats, and desserts like chocolate cake and milkshakes receiving positive notes. Pricing and value are seen as fair for the breadth of the menu, though a few dishes are described as overpriced or not representative of the menu’s potential. Seating can be cramped with limited leg room on smaller tables, and the ambiance can feel lacking at times due to factors like minimal music or a quieter atmosphere. Overall, Fameux Viande Fumée Et Charcuterie reads as a casual, go-to spot for a hearty, no-nonsense bite where consistency and service quality can vary but the venue remains a staple for late hours and dependable favorites.View restaurant profile

Overall, Brûlerie St-Denis comes through as a coffee focused spot with a mix of strong hits and notable caveats. The reviews celebrate excellent coffee and pastries, a great matcha latte, and a calm, comfortable ambiance that suits studying or lingering on a terrace. The space is described as smaller than before, yet many still praise the quality and welcome, with prices staying approachable. Bean lovers highlight purchasing options, especially an Ethiopian Harrar, while in-house espresso is often described as fair and a little thin and cappuccino is viewed as more reliable. Some drinks like frappés disappoint, tasting mostly of milk with only a hint of coffee. Service ranges from friendly and professional to inconsistent or unprofessional in places, and a few writers note not returning despite the appealing atmosphere. Comparisons to past years and to other locations surface, suggesting changes over time. In sum, Brûlerie St-Denis delivers solid coffee and good pastries in a pleasant setting, but there are caveats about certain drink preparations and variability in service.View restaurant profile

Overall impressions of Nickels Deli & Bar are mixed, with some diners praising the retro, family friendly vibe, open and comfortable interior, and comforting staple dishes like smoked meat and classic poutines, while others note strong nostalgia and good value alongside occasional slow service and uneven attention from staff. Several visits are described as enjoyable for atmosphere and flavor, including fast service and tasty desserts, though a few encounters mention rude or unfriendly treatment and mistakes with orders or billing. Hygiene concerns were raised by at least one party after spotting mice, and there was mention of a technical issue affecting gift cards, plus conflicting guidance on tipping. A common thread is that portions tend to be generous and the ambiance is a highlight, but consistency in service and kitchen timing, plus better upkeep, would elevate the experience and reduce disappointment for future visits.View restaurant profile

Reviews describe Reuben's Deli & Steakhouse as a Montreal staple with a classic art deco vibe and a central downtown location, where generous portions of smoked meat and other hearty dishes are the main draw. The smoked meat sandwich and the original Reuben are repeatedly highlighted for quality, with meat that is tender and well seasoned, piled high, often accompanied by thick fries, poutine and sides that feel substantial. Desserts are praised, especially house-made cheesecakes that many consider addictive. The atmosphere is noted as warm and inviting, sometimes upscale, with a lively vibe and attentive service, though service can vary by visit and a few experiences mention slower pacing during busy times. Prices tend to be described as high, but many feel the value matches the quantity and quality, especially for the central location. Some reviewers mention a preference for dining in rather than takeout, while others appreciate quick service and generous portions for those heading to events. Overall, Reuben's Deli & Steakhouse emerges as a must-visit for smoked meat lovers and those seeking a bold, classic Montreal dining experience with memorable meat, strong flavors, and a festive ambiance.View restaurant profile
