The classic smoked meat sandwich is simply phenomenal. The meat is tender, flavorful, & perfectly seasoned, making each bite a delight. It is one of the best sandwiches you can find. 🥪❤?

But don't overlook the sides! The dill pickles, potato salad, coleslaw, & peppers are all fantastic accompaniments. Each side is fresh & adds a nice variety.

& I have to give a special shout-out to their poutine! 🍟🤤 It is fantastic on its own, but when you add the delicious smoked meat topping, it takes this classic dish to an entirely new level. The combination of flavors & textures is simply irresistible.

We also had to wash it all down with the necessary cherry soda in their signature frosted mug, which hit the spot just right.

With its rich history, mouthwatering smoked meat, & great sides, it is a place that truly shows the history of our city through culinary traditions.

Sooooo good & moist. 4 stars because it is expensive for its size. Interior is super nice & old looking - nice place to go to sit & talk.

We got the smoke meat sandwich & pickles. Both were too salty, the smoke meat texture felt like cheap deli meat. No bueno at all. Service & vibe were very good.

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!!

Un restaurant figé dans le temps pour le décor & l'authenticité de ça cuisine. Aisément dans mon top 3 des meilleurs smoke meat au Québec. Sandwich spécial pour une 1re visite c'est le choix idéal. Bon appétit.
(Prendre note que j'ai pris la salade de choux en extra & qu'un cherry coke aurait été le classique ultime)

I love restaurants that have been open for many decades. The décor is very retro. It almost looks like it did at the opening of the restaurant, but that is the charm of the place. The staff are super nice & very friendly. The smoke meat was delicious & the pickles too. To go to the bathroom, you have to pass a very narrow corridor, & there is only one bathroom.

Un sandwich à la viande fumée qui fond dans la bouche, goût d'épice juste à point. Frites maison, pas congelées. Service hors-pair.

J'y suis allée pour la première fois ce soir & j'y retournerai assurément. La serveuse était super efficace & très gentille ! La nourriture était vraiment fraîche & bonne. Les cornichons étaient probablement les meilleurs cornichons ever (& je suis fan de cornichons!). Je conseille fortement le cheesecake, il est frais, délicieux & très moelleux. 10/10, très contente de mon expérience !

Compared to some smoked meat spots in the city, their smoked meat was not bad. It didn't have as much flavour especially since it's apparently comparable to another famous spot. I do like that the portions are still massive & the smoked meat poutine was so good. The staff are friendly & it's nice to see so many locals that come here.
