Went on a Sunday at around noon & got their breakfast sandwich (with sausage) & an iced latte. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of their iced latte - the espresso was good, the ratio was just right!

The breakfast sandwich comes with egg, tomato, lettuce, an adobo sauce, & cheese + an add on for their sausage patty. The sandwich itself was great, but the sausage patty didn't add much more to it, in my opinion. I'd get it again without the patty & spend my money on trying their hash browns instead.

Amazing service! The man at the counter (maybe an owner?) was super warm & friendly & explained to me exactly what was in the sandwich.

Would recommend & will be coming back to try the other stuff on their menu!

To start my girlfriend & I went to the deli that was a spot that u could eat inside & outside. We opted to eat inside since it was a very hot day. The service on the indoor deli was excellent & very accommodating & the food was also very good. Unfortunately the indoor restaurant didn't have the full menu & so we were told that the rest of the menu is served down the walkway at an outside location. We ended u eating our food & I really wanted to try the brisket & sausage so we went & stood in the line & when I got to the cash to order a lady was speaking to the cashier guy & so I started asking questions to a really nice guy who was preparing peoples orders & when it came my turn I moved over a few feet to the cashier guy who was super rude with a huge attitude. First he accused me of skipping the line & then when I asked him about a combo on the menu he rudely replied like what is written is what u get. He was a tall bierded guy with a tattoo of a flower or something on his left elbow. My advice to him is if u choose to work in the service industry then check ur attitude cuz people don't deserve it especially for how expensive the food is. All in all we enjoyed our experience except for that guy who ruined at the end. I personally will not be returning to this place.

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 a gem tucked away at the Atwater Market! The vibe is friendly & no-nonsense-it's all about the food, & they absolutely nail it. If you're going, you simply have to try the brisket sandwich & please add a smoked sausage to the mix. The smoky, juicy bite of the sausage alongside the rich, fall apart brisket is a killing combo that's pure barbecue bliss. Aylwin BBQ is the kind of place that reminds you why simple food, done right, is the best food. If you're at the market & craving something warm, hearty, & full of flavour, do yourself a favour & stop by. You won't regret it!

After walking through the meat market, the mere presence of this establishment induced salivation. Fortunately, the meal went above & beyond the high expectations I had.

For only 30CAD, between 2 people we rolled out of the market, bellies full of the most succulent pork ribs, juicy melt-in-your-mouth smoked sausage, & a light green goddess salad to cut the heavy meat. I'll add, the ribs had a gorgeous dry rub with the tastiest hot sauce & bbq on the side--perfect for not getting your face soaked in sauce & leaving plenty of delicious rib flavor to enjoy.

Can't recommend enough!

Delicious bbq, was looking for one for ages in Montreal & this place truly did not disappoint. Huge portions & reasonable prices for high quality & refined food. Highly recommend. Especially loved the smokey juicy sausage, the brisket, the tacos & the buns. Great sauces too.
