In my opinion the best smoke meat I have tried so far. Its was most, juicy & lean, the bread was fresh & soft. It was simply amazing! We had it with freshly cut french fried , a pickle & a cherry coke. I would recommend anyone that is from out of town to try this unique Montréal smoke meat place. Best in Montreal!!! I cant wait to go back!!View more
Was told to try this place by the locals, instead of Schwartz's, & the smoked meat sandwich DID NOT disappoint!View more
The smoked meat sandwich was delicious. In my opinion, I think it was better than Schwartz's. However, it is kind of expensive for what you get, which is while I deducted a star. Would eat here again.View more
Had smoked meat platter which came with fries & a pickle & it was PERFECTION! Meat was flavorful & practically melted in my mouth it was so tender. We loved the platter & fries so much we also took a smoked meat poutine & OMG... CHEFS KISS! The smoked meat poutine was so good we got a slice of cheesecake & WOW, it was so fresh & delicious. Highly recommend. Will come back!View more
We had smoked meat, fries, pickles, Poutine, cheese cake & coffee. ALL SUPERB! the vibe is awesome, a real Montreal style deli. The meat is the best in Montreal!View more
Sandwich was OK but a bit dry. 24$ + tx/tip for 1 sandwich, 1 fries & soda is ludicrous. French fries were good.View more

A staple of Montreal. Probably better than Schwartz's. Meat is better, no lineup & the neighborhood is bustling.View more
I ordered 5 pounds to take home. I will go back to get more. Amazing loved it best smoke meet eveView more
The food is delicious, the service amazing &, as an extra perk, ordering extra smoked meat to take home to freeze allows us to have a treat any night of the week! Team TGO Orthodontics loves Lester's Deli!View more
Since the change of ownership the smoke meat is no longer the same. All the taste is gone. After 30 years I have had my last visit to this once famous smoke meat place. Dommage.View more
Since new ownership, quality appears to have declined. Yesterday, we traveled from the West Island to Lester's. The Smoked meat was dry & tasteless. The chopped liver sandwich made my wife sick all night. The only part of the meal that was good was the poutine.View more
Stepping into Lester's Deli, you're hit with the kind of expectation that only comes from the promise of Montreal's famed smoked meat! The smoked meat sandwich, let's be clear, is VERY GOOD. It's the kind of flavor explosion that makes you wonder if the chef isn't a Michelin-starred maestro hiding in a deli. The meat is so tender, so richly infused with flavor & spices, it's like the culinary equivalent of a symphony orchestra playing in your mouth, with every instrument perfectly tuned. But then, there's the bread... Oh, the bread. It's the understeer in our gastronomic joyride, the unexpected disappointment that leaves you yearning for a bit more grip on the culinary road. It's as if, in the midst of creating this smoked meat opus, the chef suddenly decided, "Let's just dial it in with the bread it's like pairing a world-class actor with a backup dancer who can't find the beat. & the fries. Where do we start? Calling them "awful" is a kindness. They're the culinary equivalent of attending a concert only to have the speakers blow out during the first song. Burned, flabby, & tasteless, they're a travesty, an affront to potato lovers everywhere. It's as if someone in Montreal decreed, "All fries must henceforth be as appealing as a rain-soaked weekend in the beach." It's not just Lester's; it's a city-wide conspiracy against the humble spud. I wonder if there's a secret society dedicated to ruining fries, meeting in dark alleys & exchanging soggy, burned potatoes as tokens of membership. In sum, Lester's Deli serves up a smoked meat sandwich that could easily become the stuff of legends, if only the bread & fries rose to the occasion making this a place worth visiting again.View more
The staff has always been friendly, making ordering takeout or delivery a hassle-free & enjoyable process. Delicious poutine, smoked salmon sandwich, & fantastic pickles! It's clear they prioritize quality without breaking the bank. This spot has quickly become a favorite for me & my partner providing delicious & reasonably priced meals. I highly recommend giving them a try.View more
