The poutine & smoked meat sandwiches were good but we got better at other places but still a good option for the price. The place was a bit busy so it took kinda longer to get our food & bill. Staff was kind & attentive though. They spoke perfect English & French
My partner's meal was good, although it's difficult to mess up eggs & toast. I was excited to try this place especially given the positive feedback, but it was by far the worst place I've had in Montreal. Firstly, the menu online is not the same as in person. They did not specify online that there is a different breakfast/lunch/dinner menu, so went in at 10 am & couldn't order lunch. As I wanted the smoked meat sandwich, I asked someone (not our waitress who didn't know the answer) how much smoked meat the side is in comparison to the sandwich. I was told that the side was the same amount, so I ordered this & a side of rye bread to make it myself. I was presented with three (yes, THREE) very thin slices of smoked meat. It was so thin & little it had no taste, the bread had more taste! I understand it is a side, but I was told it was the same amount as a usual smoked meat sandwich. Then, we waited 40 minutes for our waitress to come to us to pay our bill. She never came once to check on us or refill my water. They then tried to charge me for coffee I didn't ask for & never drank. Extremely unhappy, worst smoked meat in all of Montreal & horrible service. I have nothing positive to say for me.
I have been here twice. The first time my friend & I had to wait 30 minutes before getting up & asking a waitress to come take our order or bring us water. The club sandwich was decent, nothing spectacular. We did not receive service past receiving food. No coffee or water refill. Had to get up to let them know we were ready to pay. They messed up our bill & we got the difference paid back in cash.
I gave it another chance. The second time, I didn't wait for a waitress to come & would just get up to the drink station where the employees hang out to get their attention.
The fish & chips was good. The greek salad was soggy & had brown leaves.
I'm giving it 3/5 but a big part of that is due to its ambiance & historical status. The terrible service a huge hit to this place's reputation.

I was disappointed. We used to go years ago & went back today. While I saw someone eating a nice looking club sandwich, our own food was mediocre at best. Poutine was dry beyond the top fries, gravy had gelatenous chunks, pasta was lukewarm, fries were so dry. Totally not worth the visit.
I was in town for a business trip & noticed this place was conveniently located near my meeting, so I decided to give it a try. Since it was my first visit, I went with the classics: a lean Montreal smoked meat sandwich & a small poutine. I also asked for extra pickles.
The cashier was friendly & even commented that I had made a great choice. While waiting for my takeout order, I got a good feel for the restaurant-the atmosphere was welcoming, & both the staff & customers seemed genuinely friendly.
The smoked meat sandwich was outstanding. The meat was tender & flavorful, & they were generous with the pickles, which were crisp & delicious. The poutine was a little on the salty side for my taste, but it was still very tasty.
I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town, & I think I'll be trying one of their famous hot dogs.
I asked for the medium fatty smoked meat sandwich. It was okay. I was expecting some fatty bits but it was still too lean. The chef or cook was even asking the cashier if it was'really medium fatty?'
I guess they just dont do fatty or medium fatty variations of their smoke meat. Too bad!
Classic Montreal style diner. You don't find them like this much anymore. Good pizza, sandwiches, & they have daily specials which are the best value in the area! Love their Greek food.
Love the food, I had a poutine which was up there one of the best I've had. Fries have to be real, not frozen, & they are.
My son had a club sandwich which was average, not bad, not special.
The place is so busy, the wait Sunday for lunch was long.
The people working there are friendly, or waitress was stellar.
Try this place but not Sunday for lunch😉.
My wife & I stopped by on a Monday a few minutes before 11:00 & just missed the breakfast menu that ended at 11:00.
Missing the breakfast menu my wife still ordered an Omlete that even from my side of the table looked very underwelming, as she dug in she lost her appetite & only ate less that 1/2 of her omlette simply because it tasted less than ordinary. Her plate came with french fries that were barely warm to the touch.
I on the other hand indulged on a 10' steak & smoked meat sub. Unfortunately there was so much oily dressing thats all I tasted, no taste to the steak & absolutely no taste to what little smoked meat was in my sandwich. It was so bad it was necessary to disect my sandwich & remove the top 1/2 of the bread wich was drenched in oil. I also ordered a side of french fries & simular to my wifes fries mine were also just warm to the touch.
On a brighter note our waitress was very nice & eagarly topped up our coffee's, her colleque host was also very friendly.
Unfortunately I dont know how this establishment has recieved so many positive recommendations, we will not be back!
& honestly, the overhaul condition & appearance of this place is old & has charm, however it doesnt mean the restaurant has to appear dirty, take a look at the filth of those old music selectors at each booth.
