Service was bad. We were a party of four. The wait to be seated for the three that arrived first was acceptable, but we had to look for the waitress when the fourth arrived &, even then, it took time before she came to take our orders & she was curt.
We ordered three club sandwiches & one spaghetti. The latter looked suspicious & was tasteless. The former were not triple deckers (menu lacked clarity) & were quite ordinary.
The atmosphere? Was there any? At least, bar the food & the service, the rest was not utterly shocking…
Next time I am at central station, I shall go to any of the other places offering food. I will have to go to a counter to order food, but I trust food will be better & service will better meet my expectations.
In other words, I definitely will avoid Deli Planet.
Visited Deli Planet on a recent Friday to watch some of the World Cup & attend one of their weekend comedy shows.
Before the show, I grabbed a seat at the bar for a meal & some drinks. I was able to watch the World Cup on the bar TV (& there are others TVs scattered around the restaurant).
The food menu has a wide selection of options, & everything I've tried has been really good. The food is priced fairly (which is rare these days), the kitchen is very fast, & the food is very good.
When the show was soon going to start, I moved to a different part of the restaurant, which was set up as a comedy club. The hosts & comedians were all very funny, & the audience all seemed to really enjoy the experience.
Throughout the evening, I was served by Alessandra. She was excellent. She provided fantastic food & drink service, & she was a lot of fun to interact with. She definitely gets 5 stars. I should also mention that the cocktails during the comedy show were all excellent (I had beer before the show).
Deli Planet is located in Montreal's Central Station. The restaurant clientele has a wide mix of people, but you will find many who work in the surrounding office towers & many travelers who are waiting for their train. It is in close proximity to many public transit options & is in the heart of downtown.
Stopped in at Deli Planet just after 1 p.m. & was pleasantly surprised by how quiet & relaxing it was, even inside Montreal Central Station. I was seated in a cozy area where other diners were enjoying their meals, & the hustle from busy travellers didn't affect my experience at all.
The food was delicious & the portions were huge & tasty. I couldn't eat it all in one sitting! I had soup, a Montreal smoked meat sandwich piled high with meat, fries, coleslaw, & red velvet cake for dessert. Everything was fresh, flavorful, & satisfying.
Tulu, my server, was very attentive & kind to this weary traveller. His warm service made the meal even more enjoyable.
I also took lots of photos of the fun décor - the'Wanted' characters on the walls, old typewriters, & newspapers add such personality to the place. A great spot right inside Montreal Central Station - hearty food, friendly service, & a calm break from the journey.
We went to Deli Planet, in Central Station, on Friday July 25th & had a great meal. The fries were the best my wife has ever had. She & my daughter split a smoked meat & I had a smoked meat pizza & they were awesome. A really big shout out to Tulu, our server. Really great service & a wonderful person. We will definitely be going back the next time we are in town.
Cheers Tulu, your the best

Not a bad bar to find at a Canadian station. Good service. Didn't have food except the fruit in the drinks. A good place to pass an hour before boarding
