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. ❤?

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!

Tried this back to back after visiting Schwartz's & honestly loved it even more! The meat was smokier & to me had more flavour. The deli itself also had that historic diner feel. Highly recommend if you're visiting Montreal!

Lester's is a must try if you're visiting Montreal! We live nearby & have visited multiple times over the years & have always had great service & great food. Without spoiling it, the staff played their famous prank on my mom when she came to visit & we still laugh about it. The restaurant itself has tons of cool memorabilia & has that vintage vibe that you won't find elsewhere. I highly recommend the super deluxe smoked meat sandwich combo & a Stewart's orange pop to finish it off!

It is a true hidden gem & definitely one of the best Montréal Smoke Meat sandwiches that I have ever had. My meal was made with love, & I highly recommend coming to Lester's for a truly authentic Montréal Smoke Meat.

Lester's Deli took me back to childhood. For me it had that nostalgia of the old Jewish delis that I grew up going to.

My husband had the Montreal smoked meat with fries & pickles. I had the egg salad sandwich with a side of pickles. The pickles reminded me of the pickles my baba would serve growing up. The fries were also that stereotypical diner style that is absolutely delicious. The prices were also very affordable, especially given the amount of food you get.

The service was also fabulous. It has that family feel that you often don't get at restaurants nowadays.

I highly recommend going to Lester's Deli!!

This place is great. Friendly staff & the meat is juicy & tender & not too salty or fatty. Highly recommended.

The smoked meat was rather disappointing. Bland in taste. I've had much better smoked meat in Montreal although this place came highly recommended. Fries were great & so where the pickles. One original thing was the spray bottle on each table to spray your fries with white vinegar. Interesting concept.
