Lester's Deli is absolutely amazing. The Montreal Smoked Meat is incredible. Don't forget to get a loaf of their rye bread, a bottle of their homemade mustard, & of course their delicious pickles. I rate Lester's Deli 5 out of 5 Mustaches. Uncle Carmine loves deli's, but this one I'd marry 😁.

Bonjour, Client assidu depuis de nombreuses années, ma dernière visite m'a laissé un goût amer. La table & la chaise étaient tellement salle que j'ai demandé à la serveuse de les nettoyer. Ceci depuis l'arrivée des nouveaux propriétaires. Nouvelles serveuses sans expérience. Faites le ménage svp pour le respect de vos clients, très, très déçu.
