J'ai pris les pancakes riccotta avec les fraises & un thé. Le service était très vite & smooth. Le highlight du repas devrait être le sirop qui venait avec les pancakes. Il était léger, très liquide, avec un arôme citronné ou floral. J'avais envie de demander c'était quoi. Les pancakes étaient bien mais j'aurais aimé que le contour soit crispy. Overall j'ai aimé mon expérience & j'y retournerai! Contente d'avoir cet établissement dans le quartier.

A must-try for locals & tourists. Aylwin BBQ has consistently been serving the best brisket in Montreal for years. Adding deli options like Montreal smoked meat through a year-round location indoors is an awesome move. They put the smoke in smoked meat.

Great barbecue, burgers & smoked meat. Equally good pancakes & breakfast sandwich. Becoming my go to breakfast place.

I like Aylwin Deli. I just have no idea what it is supposed to be. It's laid out like a cafe. It's called a Deli. But the menu is not a deli menu except for a few items...& it's listed as a BBQ restaurant. Despite the conceptual confusion, the food here is pretty good & well priced. I had the ricotta pancakes, which isn't a common item & this was the least I recall paying for the dish in Montreal. The guy behind the counter provided amazing service. All of the seating is hightop counter seating, which I don't love but since I was alone this time anyways it was fine.

Super chill staff & the food is amazing

The reuben sandwich is to die for 🤤 It has medium fat meat, melted cheese & choucroute.

The brisket is not bad but the Reuben really stole the show & i'll be back for more. Their fries are very good as well. I'll be back for more & I will have to try their poutine as both the meat & the fries are amazing!

I recommend this spot. They also have breakfast items which I did not get a chance to try but seemed very good from what I saw in people's plates.

Excellent brisket & great neighbourhood spot.

Stopped by Aylwin Deli & had the brisket - it was really, really good. Tender, flavourful, & clearly made with care. You can tell they take pride in what they're serving.

It's a simple, no-nonsense spot with good vibes & quality food. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm craving something comforting & well done.

This place is just so good. The food is always delicious (the hot-dog, the poutine & the turkey sandwich are personal favourites). Somehow, the service is better than food - the staff is always smiling!

This is where you go when you want something quick without settling for something forgettable. It works just as well for breakfast as it does for a midday stop, thoughtfully made rather than rushed.

Everything we tried was filling, well-priced, & clearly handled with care. The brisket sandwich-tender, juicy, & balanced, with nothing overpowering the meat. The breakfast sandwich with sausage was just as impressive, easily one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had so far, satisfying without being heavy.

After this visit, it's hard not to want to come back & work through the rest of it-because if these sandwiches are any indication, the rest is worth the time.

Could straight up be the best Reuben sandwich in Montreal.

Really high-quality ingredients, nice cut of meat, cool ambience, super friendly staff, & of course, the location can't be beat.

Considering the quality & service & the fact that they had five full grown men working there in the middle of the day, $20 after tax & tip for this sandwich was well worth it

The best smoked meat sandwich I've had in Montreal. The coleslaw is a must!

Today was my second time going to Aylwin Deli. My buddy's & I took advantage of the Weekend Brunch-BQ & ordered 3 different sandwiches. They were all excellent. Brisket sandwich, smoke meat & the pulled pork. (my recommendation to anyone reading this).

We live around Ile Perrot where Smoke meat pete is… & Aylwins' bbq lowkey hits different

This place is super solid. Consistently delicious & the prices are very fair.
A lot of space to sit but they are all wall mounted tables.

Cool people working there & they are clearly invested in the deli's success.

Hands down the best smoked meat in Montreal, the Reuben sandwich is an absolute gem, the ricotta pancakes with blueberries are amazing but I'd probably add some smoked bacon to balance the sweetness, the smoked meat poutine was amazing I love the crispiness of the meat & the sauce was rich & tasty!
