Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (NDG)

Kosher Salads Sandwiches Pasta Breakfast Comfort Food

Review Summary

Reviews describe Leyley's as an awesome spot with good food and a standout shakshouka, though a longer wait and only okay service are noted by some. One reviewer cites a Christmas closure due to outdated Google hours, suggesting timing can catch guests off guard. Visitors from Montreal found the dishes delicious and expressed a wish for something as good in New York. On the downside, the value is seen as not great because bread is excessive and salads are scant, while the dairy offerings are described as among the best.View restaurant profile

Deli Jewish Kosher Breakfast

Review Summary

Yan's Deli feels like an elevated yet comforting Montreal deli, blending classic pastrami and brisket with bold modern twists and a bright, playful space with custom Lego decor. The food earns praise for quality and generous portions, from perfectly brined pickles and house challah to deeply savory brisket, standout pastrami, latkes, and thick, rich milkshakes, with cocktails and celery soda adding a contemporary edge. Flavors come through as honest and well executed, and much of the menu is made in house, highlighting freshness and depth. Service is typically friendly and attentive, helping create a welcoming vibe, though a few visits note occasional hiccups or longer waits and some items can feel pricey for the portion and context. The concept blends comfort food with elevated technique, making brunch, lunch, and dinner viable options, and the overall impression is that Yan's Deli is a place with heart, personality, and staying power, likely to draw locals back despite cost considerations.View restaurant profile

Le Plateau-Mont-Royal

Bagels Breakfast Kosher

Review Summary

District Bagel is popular for kosher eats and bagels with some reviewers calling the bagels the best in town and praising items like the soups, an egg sandwich, and a blintz pie, while others note that the Montreal bagel they tried was small, dense, and not fresh, and that some breakfast bagels were small or burnt and tasted bitter. The cafe vibe ranges from a comfortable upstairs dining area with an accessible sink to a cafeteria like feel with disposable tableware, a fast service pace, and an easy to use ordering kiosk. The space includes Jewish texts that some find odd in a secular setting, and the menu leans into Jewish breakfast favorites centered around bagels, though price and portion sizes can be inconsistent with taste and practicality, such as avocados in an otherwise tasty breakfast sandwich that felt messy and overpriced. Overall, District Bagel attracts a local crowd and offers strong bagel quality and variety but leaves some guests wanting more consistency in size, freshness, and value.View restaurant profile
