About

Diners select from a variety of thick-cut steaks seasoned with classic spices and cooked to precise specifications for optimal texture. The kitchen maintains a steady commitment to generous portion sizes and robust flavor profiles synonymous with classic deli culture.

Estábamos de visita en Montreal y no me podía ir sin comer en este sitio emblemático. Nos habían recomendado el Reubens pero decidimos comer su hermano pequeno el Charlie, incluido en el menú diario. Merece mucho la pena. El personal es muy agradable y al saber que veníamos de Espana intentaban alguna frase o palabra en espanol. Pendientes de que todo fuera de nuestro agrado, sin duda si vuelvo a la ciudad estaré de nuevo por allí.

Un po' diner, un po' ristorante, provati i due sandwich tipici con la carne affumicata, si sente tutta Montreal. Da provare assolutamente.

Great food but overpriced. $124 for Rubene a cheeseburger, a smoked meat & 4 colas. Tried to go to Schwartz's deli for half the cost but it was a line up of about 60 people out the door. Will go earlier next time we come to Montreal.

A great Montreal experience! The food was delicious, especially the poutine, which was really good. Generous portions, great service, & a nice, casual atmosphere. A great place to enjoy some classic Montreal flavors. Definitely worth a visit!

5.0

An absolutely amazing restaurant. Although a little on the more expensive side (depending on what you order) you get everything you pay for.

Service was excellent, our servers were attentive & very polite, they were very happy to make conversation with us. We didn't have to wait too long for our order either.

Portion sizes are generous, & the chefs have an amazing eye for every detail, with fabulous presentation & delicious food.

We ordered the ribeye steak (cooked exactly as I'd asked for), grilled salmon, Oreo cheesecake & the peanut butter cheesecake for dessert. Absolutely fantastic restaurant for both locals & tourists alike.
