Miami Deli is described across reviews as a bold, nostalgic diner with a behemoth menu, big portions, and affordable prices that make it a reliable go-to for breakfast and brunch, and its kitschy, Florida themed decor is repeatedly highlighted as part of the charm. Many diners praise fast, friendly service and a welcoming, family-friendly vibe, but reports vary with some noting slow or uneven service and changes in staff since changing ownership. The food gets mixed marks: some dishes are praised for being hearty and tasty and the smoked meat and poutines are favorites, while others critique fries that have changed texture, pizzas that are less robust than before, or poutine sauces that lack the same richness. Some customers mention long weekend crowds and the place feeling like an institution that is worth a detour for the experience, while others feel the quality does not always justify rising prices. Overall, the reviews present a picture of a distinctive, value-oriented spot that can deliver comforting, generous meals and memorable ambiance but also faces inconsistency in both menu items and service.
Y a à boire & à manger. Grosse poutine très grosse. Toilettes propres. Des jeux très divertissant au dos du menu, même s'il manque le 34 dans les points à relier, ça n'empêche pas de compléter le dessin.
If you are looking for an authentic & satisfying meal, this is the place! The poutine is absolutely incredible-the gravy is flavorful, the fries are perfectly cooked, & the cheese curds are as fresh as they come.
What really stood out was the generous portion sizes; the plates are huge, so make sure you come hungry! On top of the great food, the service was top-notch. The staff was friendly, fast, & made us feel right at home. I'll definitely be coming back!

On dirait qu'ils ont changé la sauce de leur poutine.. si tel est le cas c'est très décevant. Les poutines que nous avons mangées n'étaient pas aussi bonnes qu'à l'habitude vu la sauce & très réservé sur le fromage! Par contre les prix eux ne cessent d'augmenter.. Dommage
En 38 minutes après l'appel j'étais après digéré mon smoke meat & ma poutine ! C'était sur la grosse coche & en temps que boucher J'approuve totalement!
I have been ordering there for years, gave 5 stars in the past & loved it but they've recently changed the fries & the new ones are terrible. Thicker style crust cripsy fries that are way too salty. Pretty nasty after a few minutes in a bag or inside a poutine, the texture becomes all mushy. They have confirmed it's a permanent change sadly. Will have to find a new place to order from. I am disappointed it was my favourite spot to order from especially for poutine or pizza with fries.
La poutine déjeuner au smoked meat est à se pitcher par terre. Quand tu te la fait servir par un serveur sassy qui mange des bonbons comme lunch c'est encore mieux.
Merci Miami Déli d'être là pour moi, je t'aime

Miami Deli, right in the heart of Centre-Sud on Sherbrooke Street, is as classic Montreal as it gets. Whether you're after a solid breakfast or a late-night bite, this spot always delivers. The staff here are absolute stars. They greet you like an old friend & make you feel like you're their favorite customer every single time. Their friendly vibe & attention to detail set the tone for why this place feels so special year after year. Let's talk poutine-Miami Deli serves one of the best in the city. It's a true Montreal staple. I know, purists might raise an eyebrow, but I always swap the cheese curds for mozzarella. Call it sacrilege if you want, but trust me, it's a game-changer. Located just uphill from Mutoide Microbrewery (check them out if you haven't already!) & a few steps up the hill from Préfontaine Metro, Miami Deli is the perfect stop for comfort food fans & night owls alike. This place captures the essence of an old-school Montreal deli-quirky decor, welcoming people, & food that hits the spot every time. Whether it's for a big breakfast or a late-night indulgence, Miami Deli is the kind of spot that keeps you coming back.
We honestly stumbled upon this place by accident. Having finished the light show in the jardin botanique, we drove around for a restaurant opening late, & Lo & behold, Miami Deli emerged all bright & shiny! Open 24h!!!!! At 22:30, it was still packed! It's a huge place too with a gigantic menu serving literally everything from pizza to Greek souvlaki to Chinese food! & their breakfast menu is simply divine. We had their classic poutine, chicken souvlaki, a club sandwich & calamari. Even the black coffee is great, no refills though. 🙃 The waitress was an elderly lady with friendly & super sweet! Reminds me of those cynically delicious career waitresses from the western diners in the dessert. While our French was not strong enough to make quips, we appreciated her enthusiasm & smiles. The decor is a landmark of its own!!! Very colourful & whimsical. Anyway, whether craving for breakfast, brunch, or late night snack, Miami Deli is your best bet!
The food is awesome & I had chicken shawarma which is appetizing aroma of chicken with great taste. I had magic poutine which is unique thing I ate in Shawarmaz . Almost a huge size & Quantity. I prefer Shawarmaz is one of the best food place one must try in downtown Montreal.
J'ai adorer mon expérience la poutine était vraiment bonne & juste bien pour ne plus rien manger de la soirée c'était délicieux le personnel était vraiment gentil & souriant en bref c'est un très bon restaurant avec une ambiance très miami justement ses cool

Je commande souvent là avec mon copain. La nourriture est toujours excellente, mais à soir j'ai commandé un burger au poulet & une poutine & malheureusement j'ai retrouver un cheveux. Donc S.V.P faites attention! Au pire, mettez un filet sur votre tête pour plus d'hygiène , merci.
Late lunch disappointment. 3 others in my group thought their food was so-so, but mine was not edible. Maybe poutine just does not agree with my taste buds, but I thought while I was visiting Montreal, I should try it. I found the flavor of the gravy quite unpleasant. Barely ate any of it. I paired it with a baked chicken breast & assumed that would be a safe bet. I was wrong. The breast was badly overcooked & dry. I managed to eat a little over half & then started to really struggle to swallow bites of meat. Not wanting to choke on it, I gave up on the rest. I eat a lot of chicken & I've never had an experience like this before. Not even close.
J'avais entendu dire que c'était LA place à Hochelaga pour venir manger après quelques boissons, & c'est ce qu'on a fait. C'est la même ambiance qu'un restaurant d'un village, t'sé le seul resto non-fast food où que tu peux bruncher & souper dans ta ptite ville natale de région? Ben Miami Deli c'est exactement ça. La poutine est digne d'une cabane à patate. T'as de tout, le menu est géant, les serveurs sont gentils. La serveuse nous a même emporter des crayons pour colorier a la gang d'adulte qu'on était après avoir demandé, ça c'est du service 5 étoiles. J'y suis aller bruncher aussi, c'est délicieux. C'est pas un restaurant 3 stars Michelin, mais tu te trompes pas avec ça, tu vas être nourris a des prix très fair!
