Chenoy's est souvent décrit comme un deli a l'ancienne du West Island, avec une ambiance nostalgique, des portions généreuses et des prix raisonnables, et un smoked meat apprécié par beaucoup. L'accueil et le service sont majoritairement loues, mais certains avis signalent des experiences plus mitigées comme des frites seches, une viande manquant de saveur et des temps d'attente mal communiques. Les formules takeout et les plats familiaux sont considers de bonnes affaires et le cadre old school est souligne comme rassurant et reconfortant. Un avis mentionne une fermeture d'urgence pour infestation de souris et des amendes, illustrant un episode difficile, mais la reputation de Chenoy's comme reference du smoked meat perdure. Dans l'ensemble, les retours forment une image d'une experience authentique et populaire avec des hauts et des bas selon les visites.
Recently visited Chenoys on Boul. St-Jen in D.D.O. Had the original old fashion smoked meat sandwich with the obligatory cherry coke. The plate was great! Only comment - the interior decor is tired & needs a refresh. Other than that, had a great experience. The service was fast & courteous.
Chenoys has been around forever. I remember riding my purple bike with the paisley banana seat there, wearing my bright yellow CKGM t-shirt, to win a free smoked meat sandwich. I live in Toronto now & visit Montreal a few times a year, & always, always, & always, stop in at Chenoys. I eat there with some trepidation because, although the place looks clean, albeit dated, it smells like a toilet. But it's the best place I know of to buy a smoked meat sandwich. My mom is in a nursing home & I always bring her a sandwich & a slice of strawberry cheesecake.

L'institution de l'ouest de Montréal Chenoy a été fermée en urgence en 2022 par les inspecteurs après une infestation de souris, qui lui ont depuis collé quatre amendes pour la présence de vermine.
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.
Me & my wife went to chenoy at st jean yesterday on Saturday & its been a long time since i last visited. The smoke meat was the same as it used to be long ago & we were served by a young guy named vivian or viv i think. He took care of us & was really impressed how professional & nice he was to us. Definitely a good place to get smoke meat
We went to Chenoy's this afternoon. We had top service by your Sara Feldman. We have gone many times before. But she is exceptionally great. Thank you Sara Kohar K.
We went to Chenoys for a little coffee & a light meal. The food was good & the service was excellent! Sara was so kind & accommodating. We'll be back for sure! :)

As a young adult, Chenoy's was one of the only restaurants that was open late, or 24/7. After clubbing, it was the place to go & grab a bite before heading home. That was some time ago, & it hasn't changed. The old-fashioned smoke meat is exactly the same. Served warm on rye bread with yellow mustard. I ordered the combo, so the sandwich plate had fries, coleslaw, & a crunchy pickle. To be honest, the meal was very good except for the fries. They weren't quite cooked enough. The inside & outside were cold & limp. Not the best. We did enjoy our lunch. Service was quick, so it's the perfect place to go for a business/work lunch hour.
We hadn’t been to Chenoy’s in a couple
of years.The food (especially the old fashioned smoked meat)was as good as ever.The service was exceptional.Our server,Lavera did everything but cartwheels to make sure we had a good dining experience.
We would return for the food,of course but being served by Lavera again would be the cherry on Chenoy’s amazing cheesecake.
First let me start off with : I know now why all Chenoy's have slowly closed everywhere.Walked in on a Friday late afternoon into a morgue.Was seating & preceded to order a "Jumbo" old fashioned smoked meat plate at $19.99.The drinks & fries came first then the punchline of a joke came.The sandwich i got didn't even resemble a regular size , i took a pic.When i put the rye bread on the meat & held it , it had about 1 inch of meat.I've never complained about food in my life but this was just straight mocking the customer to my face.I called over the waitress & asked: "Does this look like a "Jumbo" sandwich ?" I said "What does the regular sandwich look like?"She has the audacity to say "Smaller than that".I took the picture & got up & walked out of that miserable place.Mocking your customers will only close the place down faster , which i hope it does & therefore put it out of its misery.Went to La Belle Province & had 2 bigger sandwiches for $3.00 more ($23)Mark my words this place will follow in the footsteps of the other Chenoy's .....Don't waste your time or money.
We just ate at Chenoys on St. Jean in the west island. We wanted a good smoked meat sandwich sorely disappointed.
First, there was none of the dry old fashioned smoked meat again, so we ordered the regular spicy one. Unfortunately the meat was cut too thick, but the real disappointment was that they changed the bread they used to use & replaced the rye with a new flimsy toast style bread. It just turned to mush on the sandwich, had a different flavour that didn't fit with the sandwich, & the whole flavor was off. Service was fine though & that was the only good thing.
The smoked meat sandwich was a real disappointment after being so much better for 30 years.
If this is what they will continue do in the future, we'll go elsewhere like Moe's, Smoked Meat Pete's, & Abys which all have better smoked meat sandwiches than Chenoy's now.
We were in the mood for deli & had never ordered at Chenoy's. The person taking my order was very friendly & our order was perfect. Definitely, best smoked meat sandwich I ever had, the meat is lean, not salty & melts in your mouth. The fries & coleslaw were good & so was the Club sandwich with real tasty chicken. Happily surprised!
