Review Summary

Aylwin Deli delivers consistently delicious food with standout brisket and smoked meat, a top tier Reuben, versatile breakfast and deli options, and great value for the price. Service and staff are repeatedly praised as fast, friendly, and attentive, contributing to a casual, no nonsense vibe in a space with high top seating and a market feel. The menu blends deli and BBQ elements, which some readers note as a bit confusing in concept, but the quality and care in preparation are clear across sandwiches, poutine and pancakes. The Atwater Market location is celebrated as a permanent home, expanding access to weekend brunch options and a range of items like brisket sandwiches, smoked meat plates and a highly regarded breakfast sandwich. Overall this spot is seen as a reliable, tasty destination worth returning to, with many items described as among the best in town and a welcoming atmosphere that invites repeat visits.

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.

While we were at the market we decided to go to this Deli. I have to say everything was delicious. The tuna sandwich had hints of lemon & pickles all mixed wonderfully, the grilled chesse's buttery bread was just the level of crisp & savoury. Finally the poutine's sauce was sublime with a hint of vinegar that's lemony & smoky at the same time like nothing i've had before. Overall amazing & friendly staff makes it bette

I'm not joking, the best smoked meat sandwich in the city. The fries are to die for. This is my new favorite place!

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.

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

Everything is cooked & prepared with exceptional care & attention to taste & quality. Some of the best food in the city hands down & extremely friendly staff.

Highly recommend, every single item on the menu is excellent.

10/10 my sister & I love coming to the market & excited they added this place. We seen Aylwin's on instagram & we knew we had to try & they did not disappoint. Service 10/10, atmosphere 10/10 super clean & inviting. We order the Reuben combo which came with fries, slaw & a pickle. We also got their homemade fruit punch which was sooooo delicious & a kombucha drink. We already went back today & ordered take out (breakfast sandwich & a hot dog)

Granted this review is based on Alwyn's lox bagel, the other menu items promise to be just as delicious!! The shop is beautiful, staff very friendly. Freshest orange juice. Great addition to the market.

Eating at the Atwater market is always less than ideal but that's not what I go out for. Aylwin deli's main attraction is good; reuben sandwich for the win. The smoked meat poutine was just ok which is a shame because the fries & the meat are excellent. It's the sauce that's lacking. The hot dog was also underwhelming.

The best smoked meat poutine I've ever had. Simple, friendly place hidden in the Atwater market. The chefs take their smoked brisket seriously, & convert drippings into exquisite gravy. Underrated gem.
