Went there on a rainy day to have a takeout. The staff was so friendly. Smocked meat was delicious. I had a poutine with it & everything was really tasty.

Proper cuts of melt in your mouth meat that fills your sandwich served with delicious fries.

Linda made our first visit to Lester's such a memorable experience! 🥹💖 The moment we walked in, she welcomed us with the biggest smile & was so accommodating. We told her we were tourists & had already visited another deli earlier, but Lester's was highly recommended by a friend & we just had to try it. She immediately gave us different options & recommendations, making the whole experience so fun & easy.

Her friendly personality & genuine kindness made us feel so welcome. & the FOOD… WOW. 🤤 It absolutely lived up to the hype & did not disappoint! Everything was so delicious, & you can tell why this place is so highly recommended.

If you're in Montreal, Lester's is definitely a must-visit & if you get Linda, you're in for an even better experience! We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town. ❤?

Old school, friendly, busy smoked meat deli. Had a'Super Smoked Meat' combo. It was very tasty with a mountain of perfectly smoked meat, tart dill pickle spears & delicious, authentic'dirty fryer' French fries.
It was expensive, $33 + tax & tip.
(There is a little bathroom in the back. Small but clean.)
Street parking only.

Finally I decided to try a smoked meat sandwich at Lesters on Bernard at the terrace to see what the fuss was all about . As a smoked meat comnnaisseur , I was disappointed with the sandwich that was served basically cold . Th cook was too lazy to srve a hot sanndwich at 3 pm . Lesters is over rated and no offense to the people who liked it, they havent tried real smoked meat at Shwartz, and Dunns . To ad insult to injury, I saw the cook when he came out outside to smoke a cigarette, a disgusting display of lack of hygiene. I thought I was in Bengladesh , and I was served a sandwish by a cook with a gross beard that was not coverd by a net .That person manipulatd my sandwich . Gross I mentionned it to the asian waitress, which it wasnt her fault. If you want a smoked meat , make sure you dont find facial hair .. The price wasnt worth it . It took me hours to digest it , and got sick after eating it . Not sur he washes his hands.

I came here for the smoke meat sandwich & was not disappointed!!! That's all I had but the menu had a lot of additional options. The workers here were very friendly & talked with us about the restaurant & the neighborhood.

This was exactly the kind of place I enjoy. The atmosphere was great, with a charming old-school decor & very friendly staff.
I came mainly for the smoked meat, & it was very good. We also ordered the roast beef, & it was excellent too.
I'll definitely be coming back the next time I'm in Montreal. Highly recommended!
