First of all, the restaurant itself looks amazing - very comfortable sofas, well-spaced tables, & a beautiful design. I honestly didn't expect such an atmospheric place, especially knowing the prices beforehand (which are surprisingly affordable for a place like this).
We ordered the onion soup, served with a rich cheesy topping - it was absolutely delicious. To be honest, after the soup alone I already felt full & completely satisfied😁
But we didn't stop there & ordered a smoked meat sandwich. It was outstanding: a huge portion with incredibly juicy meat & wonderful bread, very soft inside with a crispy crust served with fries on the side🤤
I don't live in Montreal, but we love this city & visit it often just to enjoy our time there. Now I know for sure that we'll also be enjoying great food every time we come. You can really feel that everything in this restaurant is prepared with care & soul😌

Les touristes se gèlent les oreilles, immobiles dans la file de la rue Saint-Laurent. Pendant ce temps, ceux du coin savent : ils entrent ici, à l'abri du froid, pour savourer un smoked meat autrement meilleur. & j'ai découvert trop tard - comme un secret murmuré après coup - qu'on y sert aussi de la bière...
/ The tourists freeze their ears off, standing motionless in line on Saint-Laurent Street. Meanwhile, the locals know better: they step inside, warm & sheltered, to savor a smoked meat that's simply superior. & I discovered too late - like a secret whispered after the fact - that they also serve beer...

The food is good although the bread & dressing was not my taste. The service was acceptable & the ambiance could be better for sure.

I wasn't feeling well on my way to Reuben's & almost turned back, but I'm glad I didn't. When I arrived, I told the server I was taking out, & he still kindly offered me water - a small gesture that already showed how thoughtful the staff are. I ordered their famous smoked meat sandwich (which lived up to the hype!) but had to step away for a while because I felt really sick.
When I came back, the owner noticed & asked if I was okay. I told him I wasn't feeling well, & he immediately offered me a bottle of Perrier to help me hydrate - & wouldn't even let me pay for it. That simple act of kindness genuinely made my day & helped me feel better.
It's rare to find that kind of care & humanity in a busy restaurant. Beyond the great food, Reuben's has truly wonderful people. Highly recommend.

Meilleur salade César de ma vie ! Je mange là depuis enfant & ma mère mangait là enfant aussi & c'est devenu notre incontournable lorsqu'on vient à Montreal. Cheesecake = un must !

The meat lacks flavour. It's stacked in a one sided fashion. So the half sandwiches have the shape of triangles in cross section. The fries were cooked in over hot oil & had that chemical burnt type flavour. As a two day visitor to Montreal I feel as if I've squandered an opportunity. I'm really looking forward to Schwartz's tomorrow for lunch.

Food was a good portion for the price paid but not very good, the service was absolutely amazing & the restaurant had this speakeasy vibe which was quite cool but the machines made an annoying noise & a man behind the bar was speaking loudly into a speaker to the kitchen but we could hear it

Very cool restaurant, felt almost like I was transported to a past decade. Love the vibe & decor. Extremely well maintained establishment. However the food itself felt mediocre. Portion size of the kaiser sandwich was very disappointing & the meats were just okay. There was a subtle lack of attention to detail like placing the pickle on a hot plate just made for a warm pickle which isn't very appetizing. Poutine was probably my favourite part of the meal. Also one awkward moment of the meal transpired where the server dropped a mayo pack on the floor but swiftly picked it up & tried to conceal her putting it back on the plate & served it to me right after. Extremely odd & somewhat disrespectful moment which I assume was a momentary lapse of judgement. Overall my expectations for the food itself was not lived up to, but it's a cool restaurant.

Excellent ! Les prix sont raisonnables & le service est excellent. C'est très tranquille à l'intérieur & on peut facilement discuter sans être dérangé par le bruit.
