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

The sandwich is good , but should be served piping hot. It was room temp at best :/ I also think that for that price, there should be a bit more smoked meat in it. The poutine is very good but the smoked gravy is a bit too salty , since the saint-Guillaume cheese is salty, it's a bit too much

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.

BUDDY I liked this place, I liked it a lot. I'm not a Montreal local, so don't freaking come for me if you don't agree, but the smoked meat sandwich here might be the best I've had. Man look at that goddamn cross section. Destroyed this thing at like 9:30am mind you

Service was fast & good, they even pronounced my name right first try. Just some great folks here & delicious food, next time I'm back id love to try some breakfast food at 3 in the afternoon.
