Very busy place at Atwater market. Got some indoor seating . Noisy & not lots of room but the food was great, I had seen a tiktok about it & I decided to my my way to try it out from Mascouche. A family of 3 shared a very very good really deli French fry. None of that frozen fry crap. Those were some greasy deli fries. The smoke meat was loved by my son who said it was second best to Schwartz. & I had the ruban. Was very moist & savory , Great taste. I would eat there again if ever I am in that part of town to have another ruban. Pickle was good too. Highly recommend & prices were not that bad compared to other smoke meat places. About 16$ each.

Tried their daily platter at the Atwater market.

The sausage & ribs were really good. The pickled accompaniments & potato salad was really good as well.

The mac & cheese was ok... A bit too cheesy for my liking.

Absolutely love this spot inside Atwater Market! The smash burgers are phenomenal, perfectly seared & so flavourful. Service is always super friendly, fast, & efficient.

Plus, the location inside the market makes it convenient as I can grab a delicious lunch & then do my grocery shopping right after. Talk about killing two birds with one stone! Highly recommend!

Hands down one of the best smoked meat sandwiches I've ever had. The smoked meat seems to be made in-house, piled incredibly high, perfectly seasoned, unbelievably tender, & melts in your mouth. Paired with their house-baked rye & house-made mustard, every bite was absolute perfection. The balance of the smoky, juicy meat with the fresh rye & tangy mustard is simply outstanding.

If you're anywhere near Atwater Market, do yourself a favor & order this sandwich. It's not just a smoked meat sandwich-it's one of those meals you'll be thinking about long after you've finished it.

10/10. Absolutely mouth-watering.

Yum yum perfection! Montreal on a plate. The best Montreal smoked meat sandwich in the city for sure. Come & get one & the fries rock too. Right on cycle path at the Atwater Market.

I was so happy to see Alwyn's at Atwater Market. Having heard so much about it over the years, I knew I had to stop by.

I ordered the Alwynator burger, which was featured on their sandwich board, & it absolutely did not disappoint. At around $14, I'd say it's a solid value for the quality & portion. The burger was juicy, flavorful, & satisfying-the kind of comfort food that instantly puts a smile on your face specially when I was so hungry 😋

As I'm writing this review, though, I'm watching people mostly ordered & raved about the beef brisket sandwich… & now I'm seriously regretting my decision. 🥲 I should have known earlier & ordered both. The brisket looked incredible, & now I'm somehow hungry all over again.

Looks like I'll just have to come back-& honestly, that's not a bad problem to have. If you're at Atwater Market, Alwyn's is definitely worth checking out. Just learn from my mistake: order the brisket too. Sob sob.

Went to the deli portion. Service at the counter was friendly. Bit of a lineup but not too crazy. Smoked meat poutine was great, flavorful. Coleslaw was done very well. Awesome lunch spot at Atwater.

Aylwin is an awesome BBQ spot in Atwater market & I would certainly recommend it.

I ordered the daily platter which comes at the cost of 24$ & comes with jerk style pork belly, brisket burnt ends, sausage, bread, cucumber salad & some sliced pickles, jalapenos & marinated onions. Everything was delicious. The brisket was very tender. The pork belly was very rich & fatty. The sausage was another highlight with just the right amount of spice. My only complaint is that for 24$ I would expect a bit more meat from the platter. The bread was also a little bit unimpressive. But overall it was a very tasty platter.

I also had the Mac & Cheese which was very good. They use pearl shaped pasta. The cheese sauce is very creamy & they top the whole thing with a bunch of bread crumbs & green onions. I would definitely recommend getting this as a side dish if you come to Aylwin.

Great experience overall & definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Atwater market. Next time I come back, I would love to try the burger, pulled pork & tacos.

This place is absolutely amazing! It's the first thing you smell as you enter the Atwater Market.

Let's talk about that brisket. First off, the spice rub is exquisite. The seasoning doesn't overpower the meat flavor - it enhances it. The smoke is tasty, & again, not overpowering. They give you two sauces - one sweet & one spicy.

We also got the Famous Aylwinator Burger. This is perfection on a bun. Again, seasoned & smoked perfectly, awesome condiments, & made with care.

Last but not least, the people who work there are just plain cool. Super friendly, witty, & efficient. I will absolutely be back the next time I come to Montréal.

I've been a regular at Aylwin BBQ for years & let me tell you, the quality has always been tip-top, every single visit. Consistency like this is rare, & they never disappoint.

Just this morning, at 10:30 AM, I grabbed their cheeseburger for breakfast, & wow! It absolutely hit the spot! Juicy, perfectly seasoned, & smoky in all the right ways. That's the kind of food that makes you smile & sets the tone for your whole day.

What sets Aylwin apart is not just the flavors, but the craftsmanship. They use a Yoder smoker, one of the best smokers out there, & you can really taste the difference in every bite.

Please never change - Montreal needs you just the way you are! Without question, this is one of the best (if not the best) BBQ joints in the city. Highly recommend to anyone: once you try it, you'll never be able to walk past Atwater Market without stopping in.
