Came here for smoked meat sandwiches & definitely glad it was recommended. Great food, counter service for takeout was attentive, cordial. The meat stood out, we both liked it better than other well known local competitors.View more
Smoke meat is somewhat soft & even rubbery & lacks the brisket texture & smoky taste of authentic Montreal smoke meat a la Swartz's. Some people like it but not those used to the real thing!View more
Une expérience vraiment agréable ! Une découverte culinaire dans un cadre d'antan, une atmosphère du siècle dernier mais une qualité toujours super ! 👍🏼 A refaire !View more
Inexpensive, everything is delicious, nothing can go wrong! If you are not careful, you will order a full table. In Montreal, if you want to eat authentic food, choose a restaurant in a residential area. It can stand out among the neighbors & basically taste good.
Don't miss Coleslaw, which is the most satisfying one I have eaten in Montreal so far, it is'the WOW'level. Black cherry soda with smoked meat is traditional & perfect.View more
One of the more well-known smoked meat spots in town. The smoked meat was pretty good - tasty & satisfying - & the fries were decent too. Overall, the food hit the spot. That said, the service wasn't great when we went. It felt like we didn't get much attention, which was a bit disappointing.
Still, it's definitely worth checking out, especially if you're visiting & want to try a local favorite. Everyone has different tastes, & while I personally think there are a few places with better flavor, this place has its own charm. Give it a shot & see what you think!View more
Lester's is my all time favourite smoked meat sandwich in Mtl & for good reason! Piled high, the side pickles, the family vibe, all of it is perfection! 10/10 no notes!View more
Very good service & even better Montreal Smoked meat.View more
One of my place in the world that I don't visit any near as much as I would like. Great food, friendly service. If you like smoked meat, do yourself a favor & go. You won't even have to sit with a stranger to enjoy your sandwich!View more
Very nice smoked meat. We got both the smoked meat & smoked brisket sandwiches. Good price for the sandwich, the fries, a can of pop & pickels!
They even put vinegar in a spray bottle, which I thought was an amazing touch. They clearly put the customer experience first. We were helped by Elena. We told her it's our first time at Lester's & we got a great & thoughtful answer to all of our questions.View more
Good food & service. Also my sister forgot her phone there & the service staff kept it for her. Very relieved!View more
Old days decor, cramped tables, cold/drafty near door (January), busy place, service good, satisfying food, small plastic plates. Easy metered parking. Skip a meal before going.View more
