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.

Le smoked meat est délicieux. Les serveuses sont gentilles.

Seule chose, le mur de droite & les tableaux devraient être nettoyés. Il sont très sale ce qui n'est pas trop salubre.

Dans un style rétro, menu très varié, smoked meat, poutine , club sandwich, brochettes & autres. Pas besoin de faire la file comme dans un autres restaurant bien connu pour manger un smoked meat. Le service est correct, musique pas trop forte, on peu parlé sans crier.

It was a good place to get authentic Montreal Smoked Meat sandwiches. Portions were large enough to fill you & it was all reasonably priced. A smoked meat sandwich with fries & a drink costed us $22 each.

There was a street festival going on which gave us a more better experience.

I wanted to try out the smoke's meat sandwich in Montreal but tell the truth. The food itself is small portion & I paid two sandwiches including tax. It came to $35. I can get a full meal for $15 & I will be full just because it's a smoked meat sandwich doesn't mean that their potions should be disproportionate. Does service & the customer service is on point but the food itself truly was not hitting the mark. I'd rather go somewhere else where I can get my money go further.

4 stars for their smoked meat. Sadly their poutine was disappointing (basically sauce & fries, two cheese curds)

C'est un bon resto montréalais traditionnel, je le recommande aux touristes qui veulent une expérience de cantine québécoise authentique &/ou un bon smoked meat. Le service & sympathique & l'ambiance est agréable. Une chose est certaine : il y en a pour tous les goûts. Le menu est incroyablement grand & varié.

This is classic old school deli, awesome yesteryear atmosphere with mostly older staff that have been there since the black & white TV. Great smoked meat & other deli specialties, a must visit when you are on St. Hubert Street. Oh, & the best part, the patriarch's name is Leonidas from Sparta!! All Heil to the King of smoked meat. 👑

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.
