Review Summary

Le Roi Du Smoked Meat is described as a classic retro Montreal deli on St. Hubert, prized for its legendary smoked meat which many reviewers say is tender, flavorful, and served on fresh rye with generous portions. The place feels like a warm, family oriented diner with friendly service, though some notes mention cramped booths, decor in need of refresh, and occasional concerns about cleanliness. Reviews are a mix on value and portions, with the meat widely lauded but some diners finding sides or prices less satisfying and a few meals not hitting the mark. The menu has expanded beyond the traditional sandwich to include items like poutine, clubs, and even smoked meat pizza, yielding a range of experiences from excellent to mediocre. A few readers report inconsistent service or changes in the menu that affected their expectations, yet the overall impression remains that this is a nostalgic Montreal staple with a strong smoke meat identity. Many describe the atmosphere as charmingly old school, making it a go-to for lovers of classic Montreal deli flavors despite some ups and downs.

This is Montréal smoke meat at its best. Wonderful service, a great sandwich, fries & a pickle. What more could anybody want?

Le Roi du Smoked Meat on a friend's recommendation, & overall, it was a mixed experience. The location is great - right on a busy corner & close to the metro, making it super convenient to get to. The diner-style interior is clean, well-lit, & welcoming, with friendly & attentive staff who made us feel comfortable right away.

I ordered the smoked meat platter, & the meat itself was excellent. The texture was spot on, the seasoning was well-balanced, & the flavor was exactly what you'd hope for in a Montreal smoked meat experience. However, the portion & pricing left a lot to be desired.

The platter included about the same amount of meat as a large sandwich, a modest serving of fries (maybe one potato's worth), a small portion of shredded green cabbage as coleslaw, a single slice of pickle (not a whole one), & a few slices of bread. While everything tasted great, it didn't feel like a $30 meal after tax & tip.

Unfortunately, this seems to be a common issue with smoked meat spots in Montreal - delicious food but pricing that feels out of sync with what you actually get. If you're craving top-quality smoked meat & don't mind the splurge, this place delivers on flavor. But if value for money is a priority, you might walk away feeling a bit shortchanged.

Le Roi du Smoked Meat always offers excellent hot & tender smoked meat on fresh rye bread.
I had the trio with fries. ,coleslaw, 1/4 pickle & a soft drink for only 15.95. This is a special for weekday lunches from 11am until 3pm. (please confirm with the restaurant). They also make excellent club sandwiches. Service is always 5 star. Opened late.

I had a delicious smoked meat platter there. The place is great. Feels like you are in an old movie. I specially liked the pickle. Highly recommend!

We had the Smoked Meat Special. The smoked meat was tender & juicy but lacked a smoked taste. The coleslaw was good & so was the pickle. Was very disappointed with the frozen fries, that is why I gave 4 star for the food. The waitress was great, fast & efficient with a smile.

J'ai pris des sandwiches au smoked meat pour emporter & je ne le referais plus. Bon sandwich, beaucoup de viande mais les pickles sont un extra. Très bon, mais meilleur sur place.

Worst poutine in Montreal! We ordered two poutines for delivery, one smoked meat poutine, & a regular poutine, with some pickles on the side = $38.35!!! Delivery took over an hour & half... for that price we expected something amazing! What we got was overwhelming disappointment with undercooked, small portions, barely any smoked meat... even the pickles were weak!
