Nöam Restaurant

Kosher Juice Bar & Smoothies Salads Healthy

Review Summary

Reviews depict Nöam Restaurant as a lively, welcoming spot with a warm atmosphere and attentive service that many describe as the highlight, great for celebrations and groups; the menu is praised for fresh, quality ingredients, including standout pasta, arancini, and a broad gluten free selection, though a few dishes such as certain pizzas receive mixed opinions about crust or value. The space is often described as cozy but crowded and noisy, which can be a challenge on peak nights, while some guests note drafts when doors open and a tendency to feel cramped. Food arrives quickly with many dishes delivering bold flavors and creative combinations, and the dairy focused menu is considered among the best kosher options in the city by several patrons. Prices are sometimes cited as high but balanced by service and ambiance, and reservations are advised to navigate busy times.View restaurant profile

Reviewers describe Yans Deli as a warm, bright, and welcoming spot with a cozy vibe and attentive service that helps create a homey yet elevated dining experience. The menu shines with pastrami, latkes, brisket and other deli staples, plus comforting soups, smoked salmon, and creative specials, with bread and challah earning frequent praise.

Mile-End Le Plateau-Mont-Royal

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

District Bagel

Open until 7 pm

(74)

Le Plateau-Mont-Royal

Bagels Breakfast Kosher

Review Summary

District Bagel receives mixed reviews: some praise the bagels as the best in town, especially the everything bagel, and enjoy the bagel sandwich and a chocolate chip cookie, while others find the breakfast bagels small and burnt, the coffee weak, and the prices steep. The service and atmosphere are described as fast-food like with disposable tableware, though an easy ordering kiosk, a comfy upstairs dining area, and an accessible sink are appreciated by some. The menu leans into Jewish breakfast favorites and the space includes Jewish texts, which some find odd in a secular setting. Montreal style bagels are noted as small, dense, and not very fresh, though a blintz pie is a bright spot. A few critiques target the egg sandwich and avocado heavy components that make it messy and overpriced. Despite the variability, the place remains popular with the local Jewish community and can offer tasty bites for some.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

District Bagel is described in reviews as a nice bagel shop with a cozy interior and a range of bagel options, where the service is often friendly and the staff can be bilingual, and the location is considered walkable in the area. Parking is mainly in front of the store, and lines can form for payments or bagels, which can slow things down but are generally tolerable. Experiences on food vary: bagels are praised for quality and taste, with some visits featuring excellent toppings or generous cream cheese, while a few notes mention bagels that are smaller than before or a texture reminiscent of supermarket options. There are occasional operational hiccups such as random closing times, difficulty reaching the shop by phone, and online order issues including cancellations. One comment mentions a mislabel on a beverage product that could be misleading. Overall, the reviews present District Bagel as a good bagel shop with strong staff and atmosphere, though some prefer more consistency and clearer hours.View restaurant profile
