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
