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 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.

Ce n'est plus comme c'était il y a plusieurs années. Ça fait deux fois que je demande un spaghetti du Roi avec beaucoup de sauce & je me ramasse avec une assiette de spaghetti blanc assez pour nourrir une famille. & la dernière fois que j'ai pris un sandwich médium, un coup que j'ai enlevé les tranches de gras, il en restait la moitié. Trois fois déçue, c'est sûr que j'irai ailleurs, je pars de Montréal-Nord pour aller là, ce n'ai pourtant pas les'déli' qui manquent à Montréal. Sans parlé du gâteau au fromage qui est loin d'être co.me sur la photo du menu.

Le roi du smoked meat porte bien son nom. Le smoked meat était excellent! Le décor est par contre figé dans le temps & les banquettes sont minuscules.

Food is good, but what's the point of calling in my order if they wait for me to arrive to start my food? I live very close. I told them this every time. Am always 1 minutes early & they are always 5 or 10 minutes late. Food is Good

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.
