The service is super friendly & exceptional. The smoked meat & pickles are fantastic. The fries are deceiving soft & dark brown like when cooked in old oil.View more

You could be a vegetarian but still be in love with this old-fashion restaurant known with its traditional smoked meat. All its workers have character. One of the best Putien I've tried in Montreal.View more

Unique in the world, Lester's smoked meat is simply the best. If you're visiting Montreal, you must go & try one of their delicious sandwich with fresh cut fries.View more

La serveuse est toujours aussi efficace, mais le smoked meat old fashion était moins bon qu'avant que ce soit vendu. On dirait qu'ils ont modifié la recette d'épices. En plus, il était tellement gras que le pain était trempé & le gras coulait dans l'assiette. Bref, j'ai été déçu pour la première fois en trente ans.View more

Another MUST when visiting Montreal! The Smoked Meat Sandwich, tremendous! Very simple but nothing quite like it. The tourists go to Schwartz's Deli but the locals know the deal, Lester's Deli is the ONE!View more

This place is fantastic. Never have I felt so welcome at a restaurant in Montreal. Normally service is rude & coarse but here, they were all super friendly & said welcome/hello.

I got the smoked meat sandwich, tasted super tasty & they are very generous with the serving. I've always gone to the tourist trap smoked meat spots. The other ones are always too salty, & not friendly. This place will be my new go to whenever I am in town.View more

I ordered the smoked meat sandwich with fries ans pickles. The sandwich was good. The plate for the fries was dirty with ketchup i didn't put on & there was fried ketchup on some of the fries.
I told the waitress about it. Her answer was that i probably put ketchup on my fries wich i told her that i did not. She then left the table rather rapidly.

I don't know if they were having an off-night, but the service was terrible. The waitress got most of the orders wrong. One person ordered a lean sandwich & the whole table got lean. We place one order of smoked-meat poutine, we got a regular one. When we mentioned it, she took it back, had smoked meat added, brought it back & charged us the same price as if she had given us what we originally asked for. The dish is usually twice as big. She even got the drinks wrong. Maybe if she had written the order down...

We had friends from out of town with us. They are smoked-meat connoisseurs. Needless to say, they will never go back.

Very disappointed.

Ce resto fait parti des incontournable, il est a essayer au moins un fois, & avec raison.

C'est un petit & vieil endroit rempli au maximum. Vous êtes collé sur le voisin, & les serveuses ( qui vont bien avec le décor ) non pas de place pour passer, donc accrochent les clients qui doivent se faire le plus petit possible.
Vous y aller pour vous nourrir. 15 minutes & vous êtes sorti. C'est plus un comptoir qu'un resto.

Le smoked meat est la grande vedette, tendre, juteux & très goûteux.
Il y a beaucoup trop d'épices à mon goût, ça cache un peu la viande qui ne demande qu'à s'exprimer.
Ceci dit, ça devient une question de goût personnel. Je préfère Dunn's.
Je conseil à tous les mordus de smoked meat pour qui l'atmosphère & le service n'a pas trop d'importance. Mais n'importe comment il faut y aller au moins une fois pour l'expérience ...
