Deli Kosher Smoked Meat Sandwiches Salads

Review Summary

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. The product is take-out only with no sit-down space, and some reviewers love the flavor while others complain that the portion size is small for the price. Food is described as delicious and prices as reasonable, but there is a strong caveat about Uber delivery costs being extremely high compared to the in-store price, which deters those who cannot or will not pay more for delivery. 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

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 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
