Review Summary

Aylwin Deli has established itself as a standout destination within the Atwater Market, earning high praise for its exceptional smoked meat, tender brisket, and delicious Reuben sandwiches. While the menu offers a diverse range of high-quality items, including impressive breakfast sandwiches and ricotta pancakes, the consistent focus on flavorful, well-prepared barbecue shines through in every dish. Guests frequently highlight the welcoming and efficient service, noting that the staff contributes significantly to the overall pleasant atmosphere. Although some visitors observe that the pricing can be on the higher side and the seating is limited to high-top counters, the general consensus remains that the quality of the food and the care put into each meal make it a must-visit spot for locals and tourists alike.

I lived in Texas for two years, & this is the best Brisket I've ever had.

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.

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.

Love this place! On weekends they have more offerings such as the brisket sandwich. David, the gentleman at the cash taking orders, is awesome & always very friendly! Highly recommend!

VERY GOOD SMOKED SALMON BAGEL & REUBEN'S SANDWICH!! 👍

But, just a a'lil smile of appreciation from the young lady at the counter would've been nice towards 2 paying customers?
Instead of ... an'attitude face.

Customers, have choices.
Especially, with the Première Moisson bakery upstairs?
You're welcome, for our support.
