DELI 365 is praised for Montreal smoked meat with tender beef and a kosher option, with some calling it the best smoke meat in Montréal and noting it as a must-have sandwich, even comparing the tenderness to New York pastrami.

Opinions vary on future visits, with at least one reviewer saying they would not go back due to value, while others still praise the offering. In summary, DELI 365 delivers standout smoked meat and a kosher option, but value and delivery pricing create mixed satisfaction among customers.View restaurant profile
