Les avis s'accordent sur un cadre rétro et une ambiance de cantine québécoise où le service est globalement chaleureux et attentif, avec des employés présents depuis longtemps. Le smoked meat est décrit comme excellent, tendre et savoureux, servi sur du pain rye frais; les portions sont généreuses et le rapport qualité-prix est jugé bon par beaucoup, même si certains trouvent les prix élevés. La carte est variée, comprenant smoked meat, sous-marins, clubs et poutines, et l'endroit est apprécié pour son ambiance familiale et le confort des lieux. Quelques points négatifs récurrents incluent des temps d'attente parfois longs, des plats qui peuvent arriver froids, et des aspects de propreté ou de décoration qui sonnent vieillots, avec des toilettes qui demandent un rafraîchissement. Dans l'ensemble, Le Roi Du Smoked Meat est perçu comme une référence du smoked meat à Montréal, offrant une expérience nostalgique et authentique, avec un service généralement professionnel et des portions qui permettent de partager.
The atmosphere is nice.
I ordered the club roll combo with drink. The sandwich was delicious, good portion 😋 so was the fries & pickles. Very attentive & friendly service. Love it 😊
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.
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!
