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

J'ai commande un medium & c'était le smoked meat le plus gras que j'ai jamais mangé. Je suis tombé sur une boule de gras la grosseur d'un raisin. Coupé trop épais aussi. L'ambiance est super, restaurant figé dans le temps & le service est ultra efficace.View more

4.4 / 5 is a great score. Takeout Uber - arrived in 20 mins on a Wednesday lunch to my hotel.
Fries were handmade & delicious (but soggy as a wet dog by delivery). No ketchup, mayo or any condiments included.
Smoked meat was large & delicious! Extra mustard requested & added. Would eat this 10x in a row. Got the Swiss cheese. Doesn't make a huge difference. The meat is the star. Only thing I'd change - I think it's medium hand cut & I prefer shaved. But, this was so good I might switch.
Hot dog (glitzy). I think it was $6 so I had high hopes for low cost. It was okay. Tasty but smushed. Would skip on delivery maybe try in person.
I'd order again.View more

The food has been consistently delicious since I was 12.
My favorite is the club roll special with a coffee.
But it's also always been my favorite smoked Meat.
I love when i have enough time to situé & take my time there, but their to go is also yummyView more

Mauvais service, une seule serveuse pour tout le restaurant & en plus ce n'est pas très propre. Le cuisinier qui coupe la viande n'avait même pas un filet qui couvrait ses cheveux & en plus les prix sont trop chers pour ce que c'est. Je ne retournerai pas à cette place.View more

Since the change of ownership the smoke meat is no longer the same. All the taste is gone. After 30 years I have had my last visit to this once famous smoke meat place. Dommage.
Gave the place another try. The new owner has increased the prices significantly. I can't believe how expensive this place has become. DommageView more

Great smoke meat place, the service was just awesome.
We had the normal & the large smoke meat & a smoke meat poutine & loved it.
Also a lot friendlier to kids then other places.View more

It is a true hidden gem & definitely one of the best Montréal Smoke Meat sandwiches that I have ever had. My meal was made with love, & I highly recommend coming to Lester's for a truly authentic Montréal Smoke Meat.View more

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.View more

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.View more

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.View more

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!!View more
