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

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.
