Deli Kosher Smoked Meat Sandwiches Salads

Review Summary

DELI 365 is seen by reviewers as a go to place for Montreal smoked meat, with many calling it the best in Montreal and praising the smoked beef sandwich for tenderness and a flavor that stands up to pastrami and even New York standards. One reviewer recalls trying a smoked meat sandwich for the first time, finding it pretty good but blander than pastrami. It is noted that there is no dine in space and that orders are takeout only. Some reviewers mention that the meat portion is small for the price, while others say the food is delicious and the prices are reasonable, albeit with Uber Eats prices described as extremely high. The establishment is described as kosher by at least one reviewer, and several say that Montreal smoked meat sandwiches are a must, with one comment that the sandwich was so good the reviewer forgot to take a picture. A few reviewers say they would not go back despite enjoying the taste.View restaurant profile
