Overall, Chez Greenberg earns praise for its standout smoked salmon bagel and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that balances high quality food with a relaxed vibe. The menu feels thoughtful, featuring housemade elements like smoked salmon, lemon cream cheese, knishes, latkes, and a variety of bagel and lox combos, with many reviews calling the lox and the whitefish salad exceptional and the coffee excellent. The staff are friendly and attentive, creating a comfortable dining environment, though service can slow slightly during busy periods. The space is clean, cozy, and versatile for casual meals or small gatherings, and the kitchen emphasizes freshness, balanced flavors, and careful presentation with attention to ingredient quality and even homegrown touches in some dishes. Pricing is generally fair for the level of quality, and most guests say the experience is worth returning for, with several noting thoughtful touches on delivery orders. Special meals, like the Seder, are highlighted for their organization and quality.
The best breakfast in Montreal. The breakfast sandwich is out of this world. The pickles, crispy onions, & sour cream on it are such a unique addition. The coffee was also great. We were also blown away by the poutine knish & latkes. Super cool space as well, so cute.

Stopped by on the fly during the Passover period & just had a quick bite. The over is supper passionate & his family lineage goes back to the Rubiner Inn in Saint Agath.
Atmosphere. Lovely, clean, cool wall decoration & the open kitchen gives confidence in the kitchen staff & cleanliness.
Service. Pretty good even when busy.
Food. Delicious.
So we didn't eat much, but we saw & smelled other tables foods & asked a lot of questions.
Passover latke was fantastic. I compare it to by grandmothers potato kugel. Only issue is it was reheated & not warmed properly all the way through. Taste & texture were spot on & price was decent.
The Matza Brie with maple syrup was perfectly done & would eat it all year round.
Other tables feedback.
Every dish other people ate consistently one after another was'amazing, delicious, gonna come back again & tell friends'. This was from at least 20 plus people.
The food is not gourmet & not quite a deli. It's kind of a mini Brown Derby blended with a Murray's diner with a bubba & zayde influence. It's warm comfort food from the Eastern European influence.
Does not matter what your background is, this is a cultural expertise both in food & also speaking with the owner & his dad who seems to hang around a lot - & happily so as he's a mench like his son, seen in one of the photos.
So will I return. Yes, if I'm in the area I will certainly come for a bit to eat & tell friends.
I ordered the schmear latke with OG lemon, their coffees & the smoked salmon (which I was most excited about). Everything was delicious & I will definitely be reordering the smoked salmon. Here was our brunch spread haha
They didn't play around when they said the lox bagel is SOOOO GOOD… & now I get it. Their coffee was also fantastic! Friendly staff, always smiling. Dining in was very comfortable as well.
Bought a latke & apple knish to go. Definitely will come back very soon!
Perfect comfort food. I had a small matzoh ball soup, nice soup & not too salty. The bagel with lox was great, excellent lox & the crispy onions are really nice touch. Also enjoyed the potato latke. Will try to go back during a short visit to Montreal.

My heart melted for many reasons
First of the quality of the food on point, best bagels & lox by far in mtl & what can I say about the love that you literally taste in every bite of your latke🙌🙌🙌last but not least the attention to detail with their customers
Wow! This place is amazing. Everything we've tried is delicious. From the lox/bagel sandwiches to the knishes, latkes & desserts, this place is a must try. The owner & staff are super friendly. Makes you wanna keep coming back…..& we do!
I don't often leave reviews but I ordered from uber & got such a nice personal message message on the delivery bag, I felt I should return the favour haha. I got the knish, the whitebait salad, the Cucumber salad, & a latke with lemon smear thinking at the low price the portions would be small, boy was I wrong. Probably the most filling meal I've had under 20$ in a long time. & on top of that everything was so delicious & flavourful. I'd have that lemon cream cheese on anything. I'll definitely be back in person to see the friendly faces behind this great establishement
Everything made & served with looooove. Highlights are the whitefish salad with bagel chips, bagels with smoked salmon, latkes, creative varieties of knish, & the Jake. The Jake is the best part.
