Review Summary

Chenoy's is widely regarded as a classic Montreal deli that serves exceptional smoked meat and hearty breakfast options in a nostalgic, diner-style atmosphere. Many visitors appreciate the generous portion sizes, flavorful meat that is often described as tender and high-quality, and the efficient, friendly service provided by a welcoming staff. While the restaurant is frequently praised for its consistent value, comfort food, and timeless appeal, some feedback points to the need for facility updates and interior renovations to match the quality of the meals. Despite occasional inconsistencies in food preparation or hygiene concerns noted by a minority of guests, the establishment remains a popular local destination for families and long-time patrons seeking an authentic and affordable deli experience.

server was friendly & the food was great. My parents wanted good montreal smoked meat & they weren't disappointed. We liked the family-friendly deli vibe. I ate the fish & chips which were super yummy too.

Old school deli & restaurant. Opened 24 hours. Large parking lot, easy to find a space, the entrance is around the front. We went in for breakfast/brunch on a Saturday around 10:30am. No wait to sit down. Service was friendly & helpful answering questions we had about the menus. Coffee & water was quickly served while we settle on what to order. The decor is old school deli/bar counter as well as leather booths. The lights above the booths have Chenoy 1936 emblazoned on them. Good variety of selections, have a separate breakfast menu as well. The smoked meat is available in different items throughout the menu. Had the smoked meat omelet, & the big boy breakfast combo. Food came out quickly, hit the spot. If I came again I'd definitely have the smoked meat sandwich. The meat in the omelet had a nice classic smoked meat flavor.

Chenoy's Deli never disappoints! Whenever we pass through the West Island, we always stop here even if just for take out. Generous portions, delicious smoked meat, & you have to try a slice of their strawberry cheesecake (if you've got room!) It's a shame they're not open 24 hours anymore, but a definite stop if you can!

Eating at Chenoy's was meant to be a trip down memory lane...Chenoy's is barely a shadow of what it used to be. It was disappointing & under whelming after an almost 20 yr. absence from living in the area. Perhaps my memories are slightly tainted on the nostalgia- however, even as a stand alone dining experience it paled to a number of similar deli style restaurants. I ordered the Jumbo Plate. It was less meat than I was told (definitely Not the 1 lb they told me before ordering)... the rest of the meal was made up of lots of fries (over compensation?) & a decent side coleslaw. All in all - Quite Over Priced! While the food quality was good, I could not say it was exceptional in any way. As far as atmosphere- the place was & seems dead every time I go by it.

At first, I thought the portions were quite small for a 40$ trio but it ended up being quite a meal & with a decent amount of leftovers. The fries were a bit soggy, maybe due to it being delivered, & the wings were normal. The smoked meat was good, quite tender, but I would have preferred it more if the meat had more fat in it. The coleslaw was good & the bread was alright. My favourite part was definitely ribs. It was glazed with amazing flavours & the slightly charred exterior made the ribs so addictive. It complemented the tender meat so amazingly & it was quite delicious. On the other hand, I was quite disappointed in the Strawberry shortcake. For one slice to be charging 9$, the cake was really underwhelming. The strawberry itself barely had any flavours & the texture of it was weird. The sponge cake itself was soggy & the texture was also a bit off. It wasn't an amazing dessert following the great ribs. Overall, it was an enjoyable meal for a reasonable price. I wish they had a better ratio of vegetables in their trio but that is probably just me. Their menu offers such a wide selection of meals, it is a great place for a larger party as everyone can easily find something they enjoy.

For their smoked meat & deli, as well as cheesecake, it's great. They have the best smoked meat on the west island, better than Pete's. The rest of the food is mediocre, & although the service is friendly, it's very slow. The decor could use an update as well.

Great place. Hasn't changed since the 80's. But still great. The only thing I could offer them in terms of improvement - slice the smoked meat thinner. This is a personal preference as the smoked meat was delicious.
