Now that Main smoked meat on Saint-Laurent is closed, this is my new favorite place to enjoy a very good sandwich. It was nice to sit on the terrace on a beautiful day. French fries are very good!View more

By far the best smoked meat in Montreal! Meat is so tender & fries are to die for -Definitely recommendView more

Good food, but hell, 17 bucks for a simple smoked meat sandwich with no sides? That just isn't worth it. Dude at the counter was tweaking hard, didn't ask if i wanted my food to go & just assumed i did. when i tried to take a seat on the terrace the older waitress came out & told me "you cant sit here with food made to go, but you can take that bench over there", & points to a bench by the road... yeah. i was more than happy to leave after that one.View more

Went for the Super Smoked Meat sandwich. Very good sandwich, almost lives up to the hype. Fairly food value for money. Phoning it in a bit with the bread though which was a let down & a bit of a token addition at best. Better bread would make this a 5 star sandwich for sure. Staff were really friendly & helpfulView more

A step back in time. Best smoked meat sandwich I've ever had. Best fries too. Better than Katz's? By 10 miles.View more
Robin
The staff were so helpful here when we didn't know what to order for our picnic. Very kind people work here. & the food was good, but after eating at Katz's in NYC, it's hard to order smoked meats anywhere else. But it was tasty. Loved the old timey vibe here. Would return for a bite at a table outside for great people watching.View more

Great stop on our visit to Montreal. I preferred Lester's smoked meat sandwich over Schwartz's, for what it's worth. The inside had a nice old-school vibe & the owners & employees were all very friendly & accommodating. We visited on a Monday around noon & there was no wait.View more

Lester's is a must-have every time I visit Montreal. Can't go wrong with the smoked meat sandwich combo with a pickle, fries & a side of coleslaw. Add a black cherry soda for a quintessential Montreal deli experience. The smoked meat is excellent, & the french fries are some of the best I've had anywhere. Sure, they have lots of other dishes on their menu, but I can't bring myself to order anything else!View more

Perfect deli experience - the smoked meat sandwich was exactly what I was looking for: rye was fresh & soft & the meat hot, tender & juicy. Flavours spot on. If I lived in Montreal with would easily be a regular destination. Poutine was fantastic. Service welcoming. Atmosphere classic.View more

Was told to try this place by the locals, instead of Schwartz's, & the smoked meat sandwich DID NOT disappoint!View more

The smoked meat sandwich was delicious. In my opinion, I think it was better than Schwartz's. However, it is kind of expensive for what you get, which is while I deducted a star. Would eat here again.View more

Highly recommend. Will come back!View more

The food is delicious, the service amazing &, as an extra perk, ordering extra smoked meat to take home to freeze allows us to have a treat any night of the week! Team TGO Orthodontics loves Lester's Deli!View more

Since new ownership, quality appears to have declined. Yesterday, we traveled from the West Island to Lester's. The Smoked meat was dry & tasteless. The chopped liver sandwich made my wife sick all night. The only part of the meal that was good was the poutine.View more

Stepping into Lester's Deli, you're hit with the kind of expectation that only comes from the promise of Montreal's famed smoked meat! The smoked meat sandwich, let's be clear, is VERY GOOD. It's the kind of flavor explosion that makes you wonder if the chef isn't a Michelin-starred maestro hiding in a deli. The meat is so tender, so richly infused with flavor & spices, it's like the culinary equivalent of a symphony orchestra playing in your mouth, with every instrument perfectly tuned. But then, there's the bread... Oh, the bread. It's the understeer in our gastronomic joyride, the unexpected disappointment that leaves you yearning for a bit more grip on the culinary road. It's as if, in the midst of creating this smoked meat opus, the chef suddenly decided, "Let's just dial it in with the bread it's like pairing a world-class actor with a backup dancer who can't find the beat. & the fries. Where do we start? Calling them "awful" is a kindness. They're the culinary equivalent of attending a concert only to have the speakers blow out during the first song. Burned, flabby, & tasteless, they're a travesty, an affront to potato lovers everywhere. It's as if someone in Montreal decreed, "All fries must henceforth be as appealing as a rain-soaked weekend in the beach." It's not just Lester's; it's a city-wide conspiracy against the humble spud. I wonder if there's a secret society dedicated to ruining fries, meeting in dark alleys & exchanging soggy, burned potatoes as tokens of membership. In sum, Lester's Deli serves up a smoked meat sandwich that could easily become the stuff of legends, if only the bread & fries rose to the occasion making this a place worth visiting again.View more

Much less touristy than Schwartz but the smoked meat is no where near as tender.View more
