Overall, reviews portray Pointe Claire Deli as a cozy, lively spot with a broad menu, generous portions, and many standout brunch items, where the food and service can be excellent when staffing is on form. Yet several comments focus on family friendliness and accessibility challenges, including no high chairs or changing tables, stroller restrictions, tight booths that make handling kids awkward, and signs about loud kids that feel unfriendly to some. Accessibility concerns include limited wheelchair access and bathrooms. Experiences during busy times vary, with some noting longer waits and occasional lapses, while others praise attentive service. A sense of shift under new ownership appears in some reviews, with higher prices and a more adult atmosphere, though the food, cleanliness, and vibe still win praise. In short, Pointe Claire Deli offers delicious food and a strong brunch, but the experience can feel inconsistent, especially for families with young children and those needing easier access.
Went there for lunch yesterday around 11h45 for lunch. Place was full but there was no waiting. Waitress 5/5. Ticket time a little long but worth it.
My husband had fried chicken & eggs. I had sime kind of hamburger with bacon tomato mayo with yellow sweet buns. It was delicious. Just can't remember the name. Smashed potatoes, different but tasty.
Things to fine tune: learn how to present the food. When it arrived, our plates looked unattractive & unappealing.
Would def go back.
The place needs an overall lift, it looks neglected.
Food & service 5 ⭐?
Also, not wheelchair friendly/access or bathroom.
Lots of parking
I loved my first time trying their breakfast. It was amazing! They might have the best breakfast potatoes in all of Montreal. Such good quality ingredients & flavors, & great price too!

The huevos rancheros were great! Potatoes are also very good but impressive how they have such a good menu. The carrot-cake pancakes were also fantastic!
I went to the Pointe-Claire Deli the other day & had the best sandwich I have ever had in my life. Seriously. It is called the Philly grilled cheese, a scrumptious mix of braised beef, Swiss cheese, peppers (I asked for no green ones), & onions on sourdough bread. There was a sauce too. It was served with the crispiest home-fried potatoes, ever. My friend had an Avo & Pico benedict that she really enjoyed. Service was super friendly. I liked the atmosphere. The place is very clean. The new owners kept the same booth seating as the restaurant had for years, which was comfortable. The music was chill. Overall, a great dining experience. Looking forward to returning soon. Note that the sandwich I ordered is available as part of the lunch menu, which starts at 11.00. Breakfast is served until closing.
My wife & I came to Montreal for the a few days from Toronto, on our way back we decided to stop for breakfast/lunch & I must say we were not disappointed! The food was amazing, the staff were friendly. The only disappointment was not finding this place sooner on our trip. Next time we come back to Montreal we know where to stop!
WOW! Excellent service, unique atmosphere & food is beyond awesome. This place wins the title of the best breakfast potatoes I've ever ate in my entire life!
I cannot say enough about this place. If you know it, you know it. The food never disappoints. It has THE BEST fried chicken, the most amazing'smashed potatoes' & Sebastian is always there, keeping the place groovy. They always play the best tunes, & the décor is reminiscent of a classic Seattle-like spot. It's my first choice for breakfast & lunch on the West Island, hands down. I'm grateful that we have this kind of gourmet gem here. Thanks to the owner for keeping it real!
