Aylwin Deli

I haven't been a huge fan of the traditional smoked meat sandwiches I've had around the city. I find them quite one dimensional in flavour & unfortunately a little dry.

The Reuben I shared here was enjoyable because the sauerkraut added some much needed acidity & crunch. Plus the bread was toasted, which also added to the overall experience. I also really enjoy the smokiness of this place's Texan style bbq.

I also shared a brisket sandwich with my friend & we both agreed that this was even better than the Reuben. It was flavourful, tender, & juicy.

The fries & coleslaw were very good accompaniments to round out the richness of the two sandwiches.

My new fav bbq place in Mtl.

I ate THE BEST Ruben sandwich Montreal has probably seen in decades. When smoke meat meets proper bbq culture with a splash of real deli aesthetics. This place was a goldmine as a booth at the market but as a brick & mortar it's a gift from the brisket gods 🙏

Been wanting to try Aylwin for a long time & finally got the chance. It definitely does not disappoint. Everything was top notch. Would love to try their full bbq offering in the summer.

Ricotta pancakes with strawberries - best pancakes I tried in North America! This place is famous for bbq meats, brisket especially, but everything else they offer is equally delicious! Really happy they opened permanent shop at Atwater market.

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.

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.

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.
