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.
After Nuit Blanche we wanted to have breakfast & this was one of the only place opened at 6am.
We were still drunk, but it really hit the spot. It was giving Telephone by Lady Gaga ft Beyoncé
L'expérience était hallucinante!! C'était tellement bon que je n'ai pas eu le temps, le désir ou la force de prendre une photo avant d'avoir englouti l'intégralité de mon repas. Je recommande fortement cet endroit. Entouré de requins décoratifs & de chefs de renommée, je n'ai pu m'empêcher d'exclamer ma joie à l'aide d'un aboiement divin venu du coeur. Comme le dirait Jean-Paul Sarte, l'essayer c'est l'adopter calisse!
Stumbled upon this place for brunch; the decor is quite unique however, it could use a revamp, you feel trapped in the 90s.
Regarding the food, the portions are huge but nothing special.
Overall good service
Lorsque l'on veux manger du poulet panné on aimerait que ça goûte autre chose que le sel la panure & la sauce bbq ne goûtait que le sel ... ce n'est pas exagéré comme commentaire .... merci de corriger cette situation 😑.
Endroit emblématique de Montréal à essayer! Le staff est vraiment gentil, la nourriture excellente (coup de coeur pour le club sandwich South Beach!). La déco & le style vintage'dinner' fait son charme!

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.
